I think the war was inevitable. Israel’s military actions against Palestine are totally condemnable, however I don’t see any other reasonable solution for this conflict. One day, something like this had to happen, and maybe it’s better for all parties if the conflict is solved once and for all (eventhough the methods are not very nice). I don’t think the Hamas has any other choice than to surrender, because soon they’ll lose all their backing. And this might be the first step for peace in the Middle East.
