I think this is futile. ISRAEL was attacked October 7. Threatened to be completely anialated. You may go there and help them out with why they were supposed to just roll over and let that happen.
Can you explain how Israel choosing to bomb Orthodox and Catholic churches is okay?
There is no reasonable belief that Hamas was going to "completely annihilate" anybody. They are almost powerless compared to the IDF, as we can see now. This current war basically exists so that it can prolong Netanyahu's political career.
Here are some headlines from Israeli newspapers right now:
"
Has Netanyahu Completely Lost His Bearings? Maybe. But Maybe It's Intentional
It is tempting to say that Israel is being led by a desperate man under severe political duress who seems to be suffering from intertwining syndromes that have afflicted the likes of Louis XIV and Shabbetai Zvi before him. Well, if it is being led at all"
Political cartoon:
"
At This Rate, Israel Won't Make It to Its 100th Birthday
The Israeli elite will flee the country once they see that the various 'tribes' can't agree on a social contract, government-administration experts Eugene Kandel and Ron Tzur warn in a new paper"
From 972 Magazine:
"
Israeli military censor bans highest number of articles in over a decade
The sharp rise in media censorship in 2023 comes as the Israeli government further undermines press freedoms, especially amid the Gaza war."
Netanyahu is currently being challenged by Gantz who is even more of a hardliner. In short, the current Israeli government is leading them down a path to end up roughly where South Africa was in the 1980s, and a lot of Israelis aren't happy about it.
