The limit of coercion: Israel’s strategic delusion : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 4/9/2026

Comparative conflict analysis reveals clear conditions under which weaker actors concede. The Palestinian case meets none of them, underscoring Israel’s strategic futility in expecting capitulation in the absence of a political settlement.

I often think to myself ( after spewing my way through another article by this clown), it’d be nice maybe, if I could find something nice to say..but alas!

Oh, actually, there is something nice to say, bravo to Israel for capturing over sixty percent of Gaza for themselves to play with, and admitting no intentions of relinquishing the prize.

Suck eggs fits!

His articles aren't as bad as your comments Dan.
It almost like your just begging for some kind of Muslim Hitler to rise up against Israel and Jews.
Don't come complaining to me when you succeed.

Israel's a terrorist state, there's nothing good or godly or western about it.
It creates 'terrorists' through ethnic cleansing and setting aside any kind of due process for Palestinians holding them in indefinite administrative detention without charge and subjecting then to torture;
If there's no due process just ethnic cleansing and torture by law then you are inviting people to rise up against you.
So Israeli policies create Hamas, just the same as their invasion of Lebanon created Hezbollah.

Then it creates anti-semites itself BY CALLING PEOPLE THIS THEMSELVES to anyone who doesn't go along with it, or at the very leasy anyone who doesn't stay silent.

Stay silent or we'll stigmatise you as a Jew-hater and punish you.
In your workplace and in your home, you'll be fired or arrested.

The moment they use the word anti-semite though they're essentiallyclaiming 'victimhood'.
But you can't claim victimhood, when you're not the victims you're the perpetrators.
It's all a con.

Because the Israeli's VOTE FOR GENOCIDE.

If Israel wants to fight Muslims it can go fight them itself.
Israel needs to start all these wars against Muslims by hijacking America to do so with the help of Christian Zionists, then wage wars against them, then have the Muslims immigrate into all our countries, then co-opt the nationalists to align with Israel via hate of Muslims THEY CAUSED BEING HERE because of their wars and the left inviting them in too, to make Muslims a western problem, not just an Israeli problem so that the West send all it's sons and daughter to fight Muslims for Israel.

I don't care for any of it.

In the spirit of Jesus Dan, your hero next to Bibi.

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'
Remember that one?

I know the Israelis like to use dogs to root the Palestinian prisoners up the ar-e.

Shackled, bleeding, raped: Palestinians describe abuse in Israel’s prisons
http://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/6/9/shackled-bleeding-raped-palestinians-describe-abuse-in-israels-prisons
'Former detainees tell Al Jazeera they were chained, stripped, sexually abused and filmed, with repeated allegations involving dogs.'

So in the spirit of 'Do unto others',
If being 'raped by a dog' was to somehow 'happen to you' then maybe that could be seen as lesson from Jesus, a 'miracle',
'The Lord's blessing'
'God's blessing upon your anus Dan' that you may come to your senses and see your sinful ways, and embark on a path of redemption.

'Do unto others' - in just exactly the same way as YOU PREACH IT Dan.

You support it, so you deserve it.
I'm not saying I hope it happens to you.
That would be wrong, and I'm not a holy crusader with and 'ends justifies the means' attitude like yourself.

But if it did happen, I wouldn't care you know, it would be karma right?
Onward Christian soldier.

Conflict arises from a difference of opinion.
One side is usually 'stronger' than the other, and will be 'the last man standing'.
We must hope that the value system of that group makes them worthy of their dominance.
And that their values are reflected in the way their war was conducted.
Alas for Israel.
It seems to me they have been totally devoid of humanity in the way they have behaved.
I cannot see that the apparent attitude they have displayed could be seen as worthy.
It was a brutal put down of a largely innocent population.
That is how I see it.
But I am happy to be shown it was otherwise.
And I am aware that many in Israel disagree with the present 'defence' strategy.
