If true, this would be so awesome!

Seems like Israelis insistence to not to back down from this fight is working out...or at least there are rumblings from the Arab side that suggest that Hamas has overplayed it's hand.

Israel may have reached a deterrent moment in its war in Gaza against Iranian-backed Hamas. I spoke with a senior Arab diplomat last night. He told me that the Arab street is afraid that "the Jews have gone crazy."

Yes, it's true. He noted, "Israel has begun to restore its deterrence" in the Arab world. "Hamas miscalculated," he added. They had thought Israel would not attack, but would merely accede to tougher Hamas demands for an improved "Tahdiya," their version of a temporary calm.

This is perhaps one of the more optimistic assessments I have heard from Arab colleagues recently.....
Arab sources in Gaza confided that the public anger is not directed at Israel any more than it is at Hamas.
