During WWII, Britain came perilously close to losing. Germany used its U-boats in a way that Britain and its allies were unable to foresee or initially overcome. The Battle of the Atlantic saw the introduction of a new tactic, the Wolf Pack, resulting in the sinking of 5,841 ships from 1939 through 1943, which almost led to Britain’s defeat.

Asymmetry is how wars are won, and Israel, despite its vast military might, is facing a new kind of asymmetry, which sees it fighting according to Woke Western rules. These rules will ensure that the West never wins a war again.

Israel can defeat a standing army it meets on the battlefield with little problem. So can America. The problem is that the enemy also gets a vote on how wars are fought. Consequently, our enemies have learned to exploit our weaknesses while playing to their strengths. What you are seeing in Gaza today is the new playbook on how to conduct asymmetric war. So far, Israel has not been able to declare victory, because the enemy won’t surrender. But, as incredible as it sounds, there are those in Israel ready to surrender to Hamas. Don’t believe me?

Here’s what Israeli Iris Haim has said, something repeated by thousands of Israelis:

Surrender? I am willing to surrender – for the hostages. For the last shred of dignity that remains for families like mine, who still have hope.

None........
