Israel has lost the war

When Netanyahu and Gallant announced their plans to genocide the Palestinian people at a press conference on 9 October of last year, I figured that was 90% rah-rah rhetoric, and we’d see a few days, or maybe a week or two, of heavy-handed retaliation. The terrorists would get a sharp slap, a few thousands of Palestinians would die, and then we’d be back to the status quo. Not in my wildest imaginings could I have imagined that, one year on, Hamas is still able to shoot rockets out of their devastated enclave. Not in my wildest imaginings could I have imagined that, one year on, IDF reservists would be dying daily in a doomed ground invasion of Gaza. Not in my wildest imaginings would I have imagined that while failing in Gaza, The Greatest Leader Since Moses would take on Hezbollah as well. Today Hezbollah delivered a drone to the PMs house in Caesarea. What’s that tell you about Israel’s technological advantage over it’s enemies? Wouldn’t you expect that Bibi’s place would be protected by the best-of-the-best air defence in the world? I’m sure it is. The terrorists just demonstrated, again, that they can defeat the best AD in the world. Bibi immediately goes on TV and professes outrage that Hezbollah would dare try assassinate him. They obviously weren’t - they were just sending a message - that they could if they wanted to. They just figure the time isn’t right. Let Netanyahu dig the country into an even deeper hole for a few more months, and by then a majority of Israelis will cheer the assassination of Netanyahu. That could be the beginning of peace in the Middle East.
