What the Israelis are doing is so insane and stupid that even an affirmative action hire like Lloyd Austin is warning them about a looming strategic defeat.

Israel’s victory over Hamas will become a “strategic defeat” if the country doesn’t prevent civilian casualties during its military operation in Gaza, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has said.

Washington “will continue to press Israel to protect civilians and to ensure the robust flow of humanitarian aid” into Gaza, Austin vowed on Saturday, in a speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum at Simi Valley, California.

“The center of gravity is the civilian population and if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat,” the Pentagon chief said, implying that indiscriminate attacks on Gaza by Israel could prompt even more Palestinians to join the ranks of the Hamas armed group.

“It would compound this tragedy if all that awaited Israelis and Palestinians at the end of this awful war was more insecurity, more rage and more despair,” Austin added.

Austin is actually correct in the sense that Israel has created significant problems for themselves. He is wrong about them achieving a military victory over Hamas though. Their ground forces are not doing well in Gaza. The only thing the Israeli military is good at is killing defenseless people with advanced weaponry provided to them by the United States. Their ground forces are not good.

I would argue that the Israelis have already suffered a major strategic defeat. You can’t do a genocide and kill thousands of children in front of the entire world and expect to maintain geopolitical support. The longer they continue this the more isolated they will become. The Jews don’t have any real friends. Their allies are only allies because of subversion and other forms of coercion that the Jews have engaged in.
