<https://johnalucas6.substack.com/p/what-incentives-does-israel-have?> It is a substack essay. TL;DR: There are three reasons why Israel has no incentive to stop short of total victory: 1. No matter what steps Israel implements to protect civilians they are accused of genocide. 2. Despite the fact that Hamas started the war, and continues to hold dozens of civilian hostages, the incentives presented to Israel are punitive while Hamas receives the promise of more benefits. 3. Lastly, with Hamas stating that they will repeats the October 7th attacks as many times as necessary why would Israel stop short of their total destruction? -- pyotr filipivich "If once a man indulges himself in Murder, very soon he comes to think little of Robbing, and from Robbing he comes next to Drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to Incivility and Procrastination."
