If Israel Shows Weakness by Acceding to Demands for a Cease Fire, There Will Be More Civilian Deaths in the Long Run
To paraphrase what an Israeli leader said many years ago, if Hamas were to lay down its arms and end its terrorism, there would be peace. If Israel were to lay down its arms, there would be genocide.

Some American legislators have called on Israel to engage in a ceasefire or pause in its efforts to destroy Hamas. Part of their argument is that failure to do so will just turn Hamas civilians into terrorists. The implication is that if Israel pauses, the citizens of Gaza will suddenly have more positive views of Israel.
History has proved that friends and allies come from strength and not weakness. After America devastated Germany and Japan following a total war and unconditional surrender, the Germans and Japanese people transformed into allies. That would not have happened had a compromise peace been reached. It was the total defeat of Germany and Japan that persuaded its citizens to support the victor.
