On October 7 last year, Hamas attacked Israel. the attack resulted in 1200 Israeli dead and the number of hostages taken. there was, at the time, worldwide sympathy for Israel, given the heinous attack by Hamas. Israel itself was united in its vow for revenge against him. a war cabinet was formed with opposition leader Benny Gaetz included in the cabinet.
Now, eight months later, Israel is facing worldwide condemnation. So far 37,000 inhabitants within Gaza have died. An Israeli operation last week resulted in the rescue of four hostages also added 210 Palestinian dead to the already high total. Gazza is facing a hunger crisis of immense proportion.
Netanyahu has declared that Israel will not stop until Hamas is completely destroyed. Israel is torn within. Benny Gantz has resigned from the war cabinet. United States, today, is calling for the UN to vote on an immediate full cease fire.
Netanyahu may win this battle, but the war is lost. Israel may turn into a pariah state. No doubt the invasion of Gaza, while potentially destroying Hamas, will create thousands of new terrorists with a deep hatred for Israel. In the end, nobody wins.
