The war in Gaza has been more brutal, prolonged, and broad-based than almost anyone could have imagined. And, so far, there appear to be no “winners”–only losers.
On Monday we’ll discuss Gaza through a somewhat different lens: With the benefit of hindsight–at least to date:
- How can a repeat of this war, in some other geography, amongst different combatants, be avoided?
- Is the U.N. capable of averting another war or, at least, minimizing civilian casualties? Or is it a paper tiger?
- Have there been any clear “mistakes” by the international community or by major players on the international scene (like the U.S., China, and Europe)?
- Are any of the ideas put forth above realistic, or are they just wishful thinking?
- How are the dynamics in Gaza different from, for example, Sudan?
