A New Middle East
Topic: International Relations 7:08 pm EDT, Sep  4, 2006

For Israel, the war has been a rude awakening. This was not just another tit-for-tat. It was a tipping point.

For Israel, as well as Hamas and Hezbollah, the most costly blow is the one to which they will be seen as having surrendered. The conflict is no longer about achieving a specific objective—releasing a soldier, say, or capturing defined territory. It is about something more intangible, and so more serious: establishing one's power of deterrence, defining the rules of the game, showing who is boss. Such confrontations may subside, and they may even pause. They will not end.
