Israeli Foreign Minister gambles with Gaza incursion...

Israeli regime Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni`s strategy to use terror to convert Hamas's supporters and cadres from deeply held beliefs puts her future at risk.

By refusing to be open to negotiations the reliance upon violence by Livni suggests there is no policy other than to 'agree with us or we will obliterate you.'

Israelis feel should this incursion fail to deliver, as did Lebanon, then Livni ought to disappear from political life.

Guantanamo`s tortured understood that they can terrorise one but not affect a person`s mindset.

Without an apparent fall back negotiating position Livni is "out there" and at the mercy of Hamas's unlikely transformation under tortourous pressure.
