Maybe we should stop the war.

I wanted to post this as a response to a question about the current deal, but there is a problem with the site where I am unable to post comments and the site simply deletes them:
Mikhi, after a year and three months of war in which tens of thousands of Hamas members (and tens of thousands of new fighters) and Gazan civilians were killed, maybe it’s time to understand that Hamas will not surrender? Just like in Vietnam, where the US was sure that if they bombed the miserable Vietnamese endlessly, they would surrender and accept their democracy. So here too, if you think that Hamas will suddenly surrender just because you keep killing people for them, that’s simply not the case. Hamas has broad support in the Gaza Strip, so it has no point in stopping fighting. What’s more, in its own mind it is defending Gaza from the “Zionist occupier,” so the war seems even more justified and worth fighting in their eyes.
