Political scientist Norman Finkelstein says Israel has brought upon the Palestinian aggression upon itself.
Palestinians had never before launched such an assault on Israel - Hamas fighters crossed the border fence on foot, flew across on paragliders and used speedboats to target Israeli settlements and soldiers. It surprised Tel Aviv and defence analysts around the world.
But that process was never allowed to happen. I can't predict what would have happened after the elections but what was pretty certain was that Israel’s sealing off Gaza, imposing a blockade on it, would create in the hearts and minds of Gazans a deep hatred of Israelis. : In recent days I've been characterising what happened as a slave revolt. As a factual matter, it’s inaccurate to describe Israel under attack by a foreign entity or a foreign state, which is how Netanyahu has described it. Gaza is part of Israel. It's been annexed, as is the West Bank including East Jerusalem. They are integral parts of Israel, as a technical matter of law.
