For Israel, a War Unlike Any Other
  + stars: | 2023-11-03 | by ( Yossi Klein Halevi | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Israeli psyche resembles an archaeological site of layers of unresolved traumas, ordinary life interrupted by history. This is the first war I’ve experienced that seems existential. Not in an immediate sense: Israel will not disappear tomorrow if it fails to meet its stated goal of destroying Hamas. But Israelis intuitively understand that if this round of fighting ends with one more stalemate, then our military deterrence—shattered by the mass but intimate butchery of Oct. 7—could be irretrievable. Without credible deterrence, we have “nothing to look for,” as Israeli slang puts it, in the Middle East.
Locations: Israel
Back then, Israel defeated the armies of three Arab states — Egypt, Syria and Jordan — in what became known as the Six-Day War. Today, if you look closely, you’ll see that Israel is now fighting the Six-Front War. But one thing is crystal clear to me: Israel cannot win this six-front war alone. This is the first Israeli government ever to make annexation of the West Bank a stated objective in its coalition agreement. Be advised: If Israel does invade Gaza, corporations everywhere will be facing competing demands from employees to denounce Israel or Hamas.
