proposal pattern by thomas reifer at the height of global demonstrations against israel s radically disproportionate response to the horrific october 7 2023 terrorist attacks by hamas against israel which killed some 1 200 people with 240 hostages taken headlines around the world proclaimed that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vowing to go ahead with his long planned full scale invasion of rafah in gaza at a time when some 30 000 palestinians have already been reported killed by israel how to explain netanyahu s determination to proceed at all costs defying massive protests in israel and across the world calling for a hostage deal and a ceasefire it may be useful to revisit daniel ellsberg s concept of the desperate proposal pattern a theme to which ellsberg returned

that we would go 70 years after hiroshima and nagasaki without another explosion on humans it could well have happened we have been very close to it incredibly close to it yet something happened that was not easily foreseeable that each of the superpowers the us and russia allowed themselves to be stalemated or defeated without reverting to nuclear weapons i think almost nobody foresaw that
