Correct in every respect, professor...with one small caveat (edit?) Netanyahu is not an Obstacle, he is The Obstacle.
Also, it has gotten to the point, sadly, that capturing Hamas's 'top leadership' will no longer do any good ... many more (now hundreds of thousands more) are waiting just behind to take their place. Hamas is and always has been a state of mind....and now in the wake of the all but indiscriminate slaughter in Gaza, it is hard to imagine there are few there who would back Hamas's removal and replacement by any entity that would support Israel.
Good summary. Netanyahu should be dumped but is similar to Trump. He is dishonest but is sustained by a tough, uneducated, hard right base. No quick or easy answer. FJS
