The majority of Israelis feel that the "army" is no longer able to win its wars
An opinion poll conducted by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies and published by the i24NEWS website indicated that the majority of the Israeli society considers that the Israeli occupation did not win the last war on Gaza.
Zipi Israeli, a senior research fellow at the Institute, said a similar survey was conducted after the July 2006 war on Lebanon and the results were identical.
According to the poll, the majority of Israelis feel that the army is no longer able to win the wars it engages in especially in the last two decades, indicating that establishing an equation of calm and no casualties has become tantamount to victory in the war.
The i24news website reported Zipi Israeli as saying that the wars of 1967 and 1972 amounted to existential wars, while since the war on Lebanon, the Israelis became used to rounds of ‘occasional, non-existential’ battles, with the security equation turning into one of maintaining calm.
