"... The Israelis do not do COIN.  They do  "wog bashing."..."

SST:
"... COIN is the fad of the decade.  The Israelis do not do COIN.  They do  "wog bashing." I hope everyone comprehends that.  COIN = Counterguerrilla operations + political action + economic development.
I was taught that personally by Bernard Fall.  I don't care whatever kind of wordy crap is in the field manual.
The Israelis do not do the last two. Hamas has won several elections.  That would indicate in the COIN environment that Hamas must be included in a deal.  Instead of doing that, the Israelis seek to bully the Gazans into abandoning their support of Hamas.  Economic development?  What a joke!  The Israelis seem to relish the thought of Palestinians in rags, starving and literally driven from their homes..."
