Picking an Analogy

When trying to understand current events, one often looks for historical periods which appear to be analogs of what’s happening now. Writing at the New York Post, two scholars conclude Biden sees current problems in Gaza as an analog of the end of World War I, whereas Netanyahu sees the situation like the end of World War II.

Spoiler: they believe WW I was ended badly, and resulted in WW II which ended well. Their analysis is interesting and worth your time to read. Hat tip to RealClearWorld for the link.
