August 1, 2014. Zev Chafets, a Fox News contributor, recently published a piece for entitled: So far, Israel has won nothing but the
contempt of unmolested Hamas high command The title is longer than the web link but some people like to bloviate and Zev Chafets is no exception.
Chafets quotes Muhammed Deif, the military commander-in-chief, "We love death for Allah the way that you love life." This Muhammed is about as original as gum, but he is allegedly a man of his word, according to Chafets, and he has a solution that he believes will satisfy both Israel and Hamas: "kill Muhammed Deif, his entire command structure and as many of his gunmen as possible." Chafets seems to think this is an easy task.
But Chafets believes that Israel is too focused on blowing up the terror tunnels which he says Hamas has built over the years to "defend itself from airstrikes and as an avenue of attack against Israel." He cites the fact that Hamas used a commando team to emerge from a tunnel, kill 2 IDF soldiers and capture Lt. Hadar Goldin as a way of saying that going after the tunnels is time wasted. He goes as far as to say that Israel's military is "more like a paper army, deploying ground forces on tippy toe, failing to find or engage the enemy and unwilling to risk casualties by fighting aggressively."
