The past weekend saw more Israeli air strikes that target Palestinians . Compliments of th U.S., F-16s, Apache gunships, drone aircraftand and satelite observations have made killing Palestinians akin to " shooting fish in a barrel". The Palestinian resistance still relies on on the relatively stone-age barbarism of suicide bomber with occasional inaccurate home-made rocket.
Israel has created a slum of refugee camps filled with displaced Palestinians from historic Palestine. Like the slum landlord, the economy of Israel is wealthy while its tenants are among the poorest in the world.. But that disparity also points out a fact. After 50 years of tyranny, Israel's high-cost military tactics have not stopped the low-cost Palestinian resistance model. In fact the Palestinians have forced Israel to withdraw from Gaza and other occupied areas.
Israel has a problem of stagnant to declining population. They have choosen to cower behind their seperation wall. It's ironic that after all the centuries of fighting bias, discrimination and racism that the Israelis finally agree that they need to be segregated.
History supports Darwin's thesis that low-cost adaptive behavior survives. Hamas fits this thesis more accurately in this conflict.
