Locked in a self-imposed conceptual paralysis that does not allow for a non-military solution, Israel refuses to see that Hamas’s rocket attacks on Israeli territory are not intended to draw Israel into an invasion. Instead, they are an attempt to establish a new deterrent against Israel that would force it to agree to a cease-fire ( Tahdiye) .
其结果是，今天在以色列人的谈话中首要的问题就是是否应该入侵哈马斯所控制的加沙。以色列人陷入这种自我强加的、不允许出现非武力的解决方案的观念麻痹中，无法认识到哈马斯用火箭弹袭击以色列领土并不是为了让以色列人来入侵他们。相反，他们是为了拥有对以色列的新的威慑力量，从而迫使它同意停火（Tahdiye）。
