Einstein Was Right – Try The Sane Alternative to a Ceasefire in Gaza!

Albert Einstein famously said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Compelling Israel once again to pull back from a decisive victory in Gaza seems to fit that description.

President Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week and is expected to press his guest to accept a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas. The predictable result would be to give Hamas what their patrons – the Iranian mullahs – got from the last one in Iran: namely, a new lease on life.

Compelling the Israelis to withdraw from parts of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to Hamas simply means the war there will resume in due course – and under circumstances significantly less favorable to both the Israelis and us.

The time has come to try the sane alternative: Let Israel finish the job.
