So both Israel and Hamas, not to compare a genuine loving state with a genuine hating evil one, are claiming victory, the question is- who was victorious?

 
 

To understand what is happening, we must go deep into history.

 

Only by analyzing the source of a conflict, as the Rebbe teaches, can one find the truth; and as the Baal Shem Tov says, whoever knows the secret behind (a conflict) can shed light, as to its resolution.

 

The truth is, Israel did not lose this war, Israel has the same problem it had since day one – within Israel there are factions – growing weaker, but many of these were responsible for establishing the founding of the state etc. – who had the Galus mentality – in this mentality like the battered wife or God-forbid, likewise abused child, or like the Helsinki syndrome, the abused accepts the abuse.
