Prediction: Trump.

11/4/24

No particular candidate endorsed, but a Trump victory predicted, based on several obstacles Harris has had to overcome, including a late start, and a sort of programmed, lackluster quality about her. But look at the tough hand she was dealt to begin with: the late start, the transition from Biden who whatever else may be said about him had a strong attachment to the traditional Dem base forged over multiple decades, an attachment not necessarily tilting strongly towards Harris. In the battle of base turnouts, the more rabid quality of Trump supporters seems to have an edge. in boosting activity at the polls. Add in anti-female sentiment, particularly among some working class male voters.

Then there is the "nice guy" approach decreed by her handlers, when there were a massive number of avenues of attack to be made forcefully: from character to policy. Perhaps her campaign wanted a "softer" approach to mobilize her base and attract swing voters, as the previous female candidate, Hilary was perceived by women as being too strident. Whereas the Trump is free to go ugly and personal, Kamala has to remain ladylike. But this in turn makes her appear "weak" to parts of that working class demographic, particularly males, the so called "machismo" factor. And of course just being female and non-white will attract the usual snarling suspects. Ah the dilemmas and double-binds of a female candidate, and a minority candidate.

Trying to appease strident parts of her base also meant that she has been unable to "triangulate" as skillfully or effectively as Bill Clinton, taking over a number of issues from the opposition or stealing their thunder. Kamala's muted stand on transgenders in female sports for example placates some on the leftward side of her base, but on the other hand also alienates critical female voters on the culture front. Several factors are in the mix- no doubt the post mortems on November 6 and onward will break down more. Will it be as close as depicted by mainstream media? Still the door is still open for a Harris victory.

But of course, neither party will do much to change the fundamental pattern of things or policy in Gaza. Naturally, we shall see.

The Rulers of Rubble - The real Gaza ground invasion - Part 1

A vast array of media talking heads wait with bated breath for an expected IDF invasion of the Gaza Strip, and seem perturbed by the delay. The picture drawn in some quarters seems to envisage the big kosher machine, covered by artillery and air power, lumbering forward block by block, clearing buildings, flushing out tunnels, rescuing hostages, and so on. It is a Hamaz dream. Welcome Israeli friends to our extensive tunnel network, our fulsome spread of mines and IEDs, our suicide bombers rushing out in sacrificial strikes, and our cheery ambush and sniper attacks from said tunnels, buildings and “the usual” bunkers, pillboxes and fortified strong-points. Such a “mano-a-mano” scenario will play well with the “Arab Street”: once again, the forces of the faithful are standing up to the evil ones.

In the meantime, Hezbollah launches “the usual” barrages of rockets on to Israeli territory in support, and with diversionary intent. Whether martyrdom is the goal, or a body count that will make the Israelis both bleed and blink from the casualties, or both, the street would understand and cheer, and such an outcome is expected to lead to a ceasefire on somewhat favorable terms- such as a massive prisoner swap, pressure from the Western and Arab powers to put the brakes on Israel, and an end to the current Israeli blockade over Gaza. We have already seen this movie before. Another plus for Hamas that its standing might be enhanced vis a vis the rival PA (Palestinian Authority) on the West Bank. Or not, since a weakened or devastated Hamas strengthens the PA alternative.

Various media talking heads quite rightly speculate on the difficulties facing a ground offensive. Most of Hamas leaders have gone underground, but no doubt there are some front-line fighters who are anxious, indeed eager for such a confrontation. They have a number of legitimate grievances from their perspective, and this confrontation is what they were warned about, this is what they trained for. Who can blame them? Hey, if they are going to die anyway- what better way than in battle, making their enemy pay a heavy price? This is no irrational fantasy - they are not expecting to defeat the IDF physically. The goal is to create a high enough enemy body count so that (a) outside intervention eventually limits the pain, and (b) political gains, on various dimensions can be claimed. This is what Hezbollah has done in its various confrontations, and they claimed “victory” over Israel, in that the IDF eventually withdrew from the zone of confrontation in Lebanon. But will it be a "victory?"

The Japanese had a partially similar idea during WWII, hunkered down in their isolated island garrisons, only there was no UN, Arab League. United States, or world opinion to bail them out. They perhaps are the only fighters who consistently achieved true martyrdom. Even the tough Russians surrendered by the millions, and post-WWII, Arab armies have collapsed relatively quickly, even when they had superior numbers and plenty of reasonable quality fighting equipment. Not so the men of Nippon. As British Sir General William Slim once famously said of the Japanese: “Everyone talks about fighting to the last man and the last bullet. In World War II, the Japanese soldier was the only one who did.”

Given the undoubted fighting spirit and sacrificial bravery of some Hamas militants, why on earth should the IDF play their enemy’s attritional “bleed and blink” game? Some have pointed to Hezbollah threats on the northern border as a reason for an IDF ground offensive delay. This is certainly a factor, but not of strategic significance. Secondary forces and airpower could be allocated to contain that threat without seriously impacting the main show in Gaza. More to the point is a high enough payoff the Israeli public will accept for the difficulties incurred when getting bogged down in the Gaza tarpit. Hence the IDF may delay any massive ground movement until a “rubbleization” interval, in which Hamas’ military, material and financial infrastructure, along with important manpower resources, built up at such sacrifice over the years is degraded or destroyed,

This scenario will involve targeting Hamaz command, control and communication nodes and leaders with precision fires: missiles, drones, “smart” bombs keyed to laser pinpointing, and accurate strikes by artillery. These fires will also expand to target Hamas infrastructure: roads, bridges, sewer systems, buildings, embedded bunkers tunnels and strongpoints, and other structures clearly used to shield military assets. It is hoped that demilitarized humanitarian safe zones and corridors should be expanded for civilians, and medical facilities and personnel are not targeted as charged by Amnesty International and the Goldstone Report in previous operations..

This approach essentially leaves Hamas with a lot of rubble to rule over and “administer.” One wonders what it will have gained significantly, after the dust settles. Stirring speeches of defiance- yes. Surviving tunnels and bunkers- of course. But given the civilian and material cost, is it worth it? Another end result of this latest conflict is that the Israeli blockade of Gaza is unlikely to be lifted anytime soon, nor will its economic crisis improve dramatically. In 2012, Qatari emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, visited Gaza and gave Hamas $400 million in aid. It is unlikely such largesse will be left unmolested by Israel this time around. Rather than improve the livelihood of its people, Hamas has essentially doomed them to another decade of deprivation and poverty, when there were better, less costly options available. The sad, searing testimonies of Gaza civilians caught in the crossfire (see https://www.btselem.org) more than illustrate the case, as once safe, thriving neighborhoods are transformed to rubble.

Readers or collectors of the old Marvel Comics “Supervillian Team-up” series of the 1970s would recall the first issue where the sorcerer and master of alchemy, Diablo, seeks to force Doctor Doom to join him in a plan of world domination, by using an old time machine of Doom. The stick behind the carrot is a hostage scenario- a former girlfriend of Doom is held hostage by Diablo. Doom pretends to be interested initially, but subtly alters the time machine’s controls, then uses the time gained to rescue his ex, and attack the alchemist. Angered by Doom’s eventual rejection of his plan, Diablo seeks to banish the master of mayhem into the time-stream, but Doom’s “reverse alteration” of the time-machine instead sends Diablo himself hurtling into the void. The sorcerer materializes far into earth’s future, on to a devastated rubble-filled earth, where he truly will have obtained his fondest wish, to be earth’s ruler, forevermore.

It could be argued that even this allegory still leaves Hamas in control of large swathes of ruined Gaza “earth”, and that they have not been totally defeated or liquidated. This is true, but for the past several years the IDF has not attempted any apocalyptic final campaign in Gaza, but instead a “mowing the grass” strategy. This means suppression of periodic outbreaks, with success being measured by periods of comparative calm, or low level nuisance activity, until the next outbreak. Then the “grass” is once again “mowed” for the next cycle of suppression and relative calm.

Where’s the proof of concept you ask? Just look at the last few confrontations. In 2014, Israel passed on any substantial mass ground invasion during its “Protective Edge” operation, and also proved that its much touted aversion to casualties was overblown, provided that the IDF achieved tangible results against its enemies. As one analysis puts it:

"On a political level, Protective Edge prompted Israeli policymakers to rethink Israel’s sensitivity to casualties. As one Israeli defense correspondent explained, Israel accepted the fact right after its birth that military casualties were—while tragic—the necessary price of its survival, but became increasingly averse to casualties over the decades.

Protective Edge proved this assumption about casualty sensitivity incorrect. Israel endured 72 casualties, a significant number given its small population of eight million people and far more than it suffered in Pillar of Defense or Cast Lead, and yet it fought on. Indeed, one senior Israeli policymaker recounted, “Families of the wounded and dying called on the prime minister to continue operations. They felt Israel was justified, which was why people were in favor of the operation despite the casualties.”3 In the end, the Israeli public tolerated military casualties, provided the IDF achieved tangible results. As one senior Israeli policymaker noted, “Israel needs to feel it achieved something, and then the public won’t care about the Israeli casualties. It very much depends on the results of the operation.”

Tunnel? What tunnel homes?

A less than satisfying scenario? Sure, and a peaceful settlement would be better, even given the implacable hatred and fear on both sides. But from a military IDF perspective, standoff attacks, whether by long-range assets or of the "surround and pound" variety where ground forces serve as blocking or holding elements, may be a lot cheaper than mass casualties in a hurried ground invasion to satisfy public clamor. What about the hostages? Well considering it took FIVE YEARS and a prisoner swap of over 1,000 Palestinians to get back ONE Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, captured in 2006, why do so many people expect some sort of quick resolution? The hostages taken this time around are likewise unlikely to be released anytime soon. From the perspective of the ordinary Palestinian civilian of course, the scene looks much different.

And what would a ground invasion look like if it eventually happens? Don’t look for a lumbering street by street, block by block slogging operation. Most likely the IDF will drive quickly to seize certain key areas and logistical/communication nodes, and then work OUTWARD from there to tackle only the most significant zones in detail. Relatively small Special Forces can also be used as "ferret teams" to finger/ferret out opposition hideouts as targets, then sit back while "surround and pound" air and ground firepower is brought to bear, lessening IDF casualties, though not necessarily civilian ones. Relatively small combined arms raiding teams made up of armor, engineer and infantry elements, covered by lethal air and artillery, will also be deployed to hit specific objectives hard, rather than use lumbering street by street clearance columns. Will there be some hard fighting? Of course, but not every single tunnel or militant in Gaza does not have to be engaged. Expect significant use of the smaller forces above, not the Russian style saturation bombing and artillery “three-all” mayhem (burn all, kill all destroy all) that it executed in Chechnya to crush the opposition there. Just as in the “rubbleization” phase, Hamas is kept hunkered down, penned into wastelands of stone and dirt. Who needs to expend mass casualties to dig them out? The Israelis have Hamas just where they want them- with the Hamas rocket inventory exhausted save for last gasp salvos, unable to replenish military supplies or even sufficient civilian tonnage.

Does this mean that Hamas will fold up and surrender? Unlikely. And will they still maintain some semblance of a force or movement in various bunkers, cellars, tunnels and ruined buildings breathing defiance against their enemy? Certainly. They may even claim that their digging in amidst the rubble deters the IDF from mass attack. Indeed. But as shown above, why would the IDF play the building by building, warren by warren clearance game, when their foes can be killed, buried under increasing tons of dirt, or otherwise neutralized, where the best they can do is hunker down in static positions yielding weak combat power? The Hamas fighters, like the Japanese penned into a relatively small areas, are at a big disadvantage, and lack even the substantial artillery and firepower assets the Japanese defenders dug in with. Nor like the Japanese, can they be reinforced with fresh bodies, now that the battle has been joined, and they are being worked over by air, artillery, and armored firepower.

In the Pacific War the US learned to bypass numerous well defended Japanese-held islands and leap to areas offering more advantageous conditions for the next advance. The bypassed areas were left to "wither on the vine"- albeit with a steady diet of airpower and potential threat of sea invasion. In the Gaza case, its not "wither on the vine" but "rubble in place." The much talked about "ground invasion" may thus just be an ominous threat "in being," diverting media attention and demonstrating Israeli "restraint." Meanwhile the real lethal work is being done by the "rubble specialists" in Gaza. This of course does not rule out the mass introduction of ground forces, but as shown above, such mass movement is not necessary for Israel to accomplish many important objectives, including a territory wide smashing of Hamas and its assets, a gift and perfect excuse handed to it by Hamas leadership.

Did the Israelis not realize that their long blockade of the territory would yield negative results absent some sort of settlement? Did the deep-thinkers of Hamas not expect a massive, violent counter-reaction by Israel to mass attacks and mass kidnappings against their citizens, a reaction over and above the limited operations of Cast Lead (2008) and Protective Edge (2014)?? Thanks to such Hamas leadership decisions, the Israelis once again enjoy the upper hand in the attritional competition between the peoples. The "bargaining chip" hostages are actually a liability - they provide a convenient rationale for prolonging multiple agonies. The Israelis have not only devastated precious infrastructure, cowed the civilian population, and crippled important sets of fighting manpower, but now have yet another excuse to keep Gaza on a leash for years, allowing in only a trickle of material, to maintain subsistence levels. How is this outcome supposed to have benefitted the ordinary people of Gaza?

But perhaps ordinary people are merely pawns and cannon fodder to sacrifice for other egos and agendas. Yes, in due time, the diplomatic talking heads may eventually arrange for multiple “ceasefires” until the next round. Stay tuned.. In the meantime, Hamas, is kept hunkered down amidst its sad caliphate of rubble.
