    Despite far superior military capabilities, Israel could find itself trapped in Gaza.

    I feel like there's better analogues than Stalingrad for making this point. Probably Chechnya. Like the reason Stalingrad was Germany's Stalingrad wasn't inherent to the situation. The stall out wouldn't have had the effect it had if the Soviet Union wasn't amasing a giant military behind the front line.

      Agreed, it's not a great analogy to Stalingrad, except for the urban warfare part.

      Maybe Gaza can be the graveyard for Zionism as Stalingrad was for Naziism.

    For any yanks who may be reading, one Stalingrad is enough kilo-9/11s to fill an olympic-sized football field
