Ruvin Rosenthal expounds the generally held view of Gaza here.

The only way, it seems, to tame this war, is full and total military control in every Gazan city and camp; sending in extra military manpower, and regressing to the situation from which we had begun to withdraw - a brutal, mastering nation. It is not by chance that the current lunatic, Aryeh Eldad, proposed bombing Gaza from the air. Since his dreams of transfer are not coming to fruition, he understands that the only way to control Gaza is to eliminate it, either instantly, or in stages.
Therefore, the comparison between Lebanon and Gaza is that Israel wants to leave, but can’t. For years, Israel was trapped in Lebanon like fools in a maze. In the first stage you go in there to display your strength; you are then weakened because you are confronted with the local enemy, using the advantages of guerilla warfare and picking on your weaknesses such as the chaos in their country and the lack of a strong central governing body. You are weakened, but now you can’t leave because then you will appear to be even weaker.

Deep sigh.
