** Palestinian leadership and dangerous illusions breed endless war
------------------------------------------------------------
By Will Marshall
Founder and President of the Progressive Policy Institute
for The Hill ([link removed])
In purely military terms, Israel is winning its war against Hamas. Its forces have driven Hamas fighters out of much of north and central Gaza, killing at least 10,000 while losing fewer than 300 ([link removed]) Israeli troops. But the war is taking a horrendous toll on civilians. It has killed more than 29,000 Palestinians, wounded nearly 70,000 and reduced much of northern Gaza to rubble. These figures come from Hamas-controlled public health officials and do not distinguish ([link removed]) between civilians and combatants.
