Israel has not succeeded in destroying Hamas, says David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, an online news outlet and channel.
The Palestinian resistance movement is still very much a fighting
force, and is in control of Gaza, he adds. Hamas knows that it cannot
defeat Israel in a short-term military clash, he explains. What it
seeks to achieve is victory in a long-term, multi-generational
struggle similar to that achieved by anti-colonial nationalists in
Algeria and Vietnam, who made the price of continuing subjugation so
difficult, bloody and costly that the oppressors finally gave up.
Moreover, Israel has lost enormous international prestige and
credibility in the world, including in the USA. David Hearst was a correspondent of The Guardian in Russia, Europe and Belfast.
