Israel, lost between victimhood and anger

Gaza has become a killing field. Israel's revenge for the brutal Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, has surpassed all imaginable limits. In the apartheid that de facto The Israeli state has been practicing this for decades against the Palestinians living on its territory, or in the West Bank and Gaza, and has now added an unequal war against the population of the Strip, to whom it has been subjected to brutal military punishment: not since Vietnam and World War II have so many so many populated areas fallen on such small and populated areas. Netanyahu's Israel is unleashing its absolute anger, based on a historical sense of victimhood exacerbated by the harsh terrorist blow from Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the support of the far right, with the endorsement of US President Donald Trump, and sheltered by a society traumatized by pain, has plunged his country into a spiral of endless hatred, with the explicit desire to empty Gaza of Palestinians. In view of the images of children dying of thirst and hunger, or victims of an army without limits, a point has been reached where the discussion technique The question of whether or not this is a genocide is almost superficial, beyond, of course, the consequences it could have in the future within the scope of international jurisdiction. In any case, the Jewish people, who through the Zionist movement and as a result of the Holocaust achieved their own state, are now committing a crime of unprecedented proportions in the name of saving that state.

How did we get here? The West, which carries the guilty conscience of Nazism, due to the technological and economic dependence of its army and the military industry behind it, due to the permanent instability of the explosive Middle East with oil as a coveted global resource, due to the historical religious tension that has always characterized the region in the resistance of a palace people, its desperation, due to the hatred of powerful regional enemies like Iran, due to the weakening and polarization of its democratic system...

Israel is today a fractured and frightened society, subjected to pain and fear; one that is experiencing before the eyes of the world and that has not gauged where the supposedly self-defensive excesses it is committing against the Palestinians could lead it. However the war in Gaza ends, the result will be a more isolated and insecure Israel.
