DEATH TO ZIONISM

Facing dilemmas

Despite official denials from the Israeli government, the central goal of the genocidal Israeli campaign in the Gaza Strip may well be the elimination of the elected Hamas government and the reinstatement to power of the Western-backed Palestinian Authority.
From a purely military viewpoint, the removal of the Hamas authority in the Gaza Strip is not a particularly difficult task, given the immense superiority of the Israeli fire-power in comparison with the primitive means of defense that Hamas and all other Palestinian resistance factions possess.
In fact, the ongoing Israeli blitz has already seriously weakened the government in Gaza, especially its ability to re-establish a semblance of normal life in the bombed-out coastal enclave and to meet the basic needs of its thoroughly ravaged inhabitants.
Indeed, with Gaza looking very much like Dresden in the closing months of the Second World War, reverting to the status quo ante, which by no means was rosy given the harsh Israeli siege, will be too formidable a task for Hamas to tackle alone.
In short, the pornographic bombing of the basic civilian infrastructure, including nearly all public buildings and basic facilities, will make the task of rehabilitating life in Gaza nearly impossible for any normal government, let alone a beaten organization, thoroughly beaten by Israel and hated by the bulk of the international community.
