Ussama Makdisi, professor of history at the University of California Berkely and auhtor of several books on the history of the Middle East on Israel's modus operandi in wars, and why it never learns its lessons. Despite the 42-year gap between the invasion of Lebanon and that of Gaza, the parallels are striking. Its 1982 invasion of Lebanon resulted in an 18 years occupation and ended with a withdrawal leaving behind, Hezbullah, an opponent that is fiercer than the PLO it sought to eliminate. The results of Its invasion of Gaza, despite the greater scale of horrors it committed, is unlikely to end with a victory or with an end to resistance.
