It's hard to say for sure, since the government's actions and its words are often at odds. But there are strong voices inside the country that are not at all interested in peaceful solutions, making attempts by Zionists to distinguish the Israeli government and Hamas all the more difficult.
Consider Gilad Sharon. He is the son of Ariel Sharon, who served as Prime Minister of Israel from 2001-2006. The elder Sharon was the had of the Likud party, the same party which is currently chaired by Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel.
The younger Sharon wrote, in an op-ed published Sunday by the Jerusalem Post:
What does a decisive victory sound like? A Tarzan-like cry that lets the entire jungle know in no uncertain terms just who won, and just who was defeated.
To accomplish this, you need to achieve what the other side can’t bear, can’t live with, and our initial bombing campaign isn’t it.
THE DESIRE to prevent harm to innocent civilians in Gaza will ultimately lead to harming the truly innocent: the residents of southern Israel. The residents of Gaza are not innocent, they elected Hamas. The Gazans aren’t hostages; they chose this freely, and must live with the consequences.
...For Sharon, 100 dead Palestinians compared to 3 dead Israelis is Hamas being able to act with impunity.
There is no justification for the State of Gaza being able to shoot at our towns with impunity. We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too.
There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing. Then they’d really call for a ceasefire.
Were this to happen, the images from Gaza might be unpleasant – but victory would be swift, and the lives of our soldiers and civilians spared.
IF THE government isn’t prepared to go all the way on this, it will mean reoccupying the entire Gaza Strip. Not a few neighborhoods in the suburbs, as with Cast Lead, but the entire Strip, like in Defensive Shield, so that rockets can no longer be fired.
There is no middle path here – either the Gazans and their infrastructure are made to pay the price, or we reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip. Otherwise there will be no decisive victory. And we’re running out of time – we must achieve victory quickly. The Netanyahu government is on a short international leash. Soon the pressure will start – and a million civilians can’t live under fire for long. This needs to end quickly – with a bang, not a whimper.
And he invokes Hiroshima and Nagasaki approvingly.
