By Ali Abunimah If military victory and strength are measured in the number of civilians, especially children <http://www.dci-palestine.org/documents/death-toll-palestinian-children-spirals-israel-expands-gaza-offensive>, that an army can deliberately target <http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/07/15/israelpalestine-unlawful-israeli-airstrikes-kill-civilians> and slaughter with sophisticated machines, then there is no doubt that Israel is winning in Gaza — and has always been the winner in Palestine. But even though it is still mercilessly killing civilians in Gaza as I write these words on July 22, Israel has, in political and strategic terms, already lost the “war” it launched on Gaza on the false pretext of stopping rockets. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56921 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
