Hamas strike on Israel

Good opinion piece in Haaretz. It certain looks like Israeli society is fast becoming tolerant in wanton murder and destruction against Palestinians.

Pariah status is guaranteed for the foreseeable future.

"Israel today is a society that tolerates and encourages material incitement to terror in its classic form: politically motivated violence against civilians, every single day – but against Gazans.

The chief offenders are Israel's own government ministers. The infamous statement by then Defense Minister Yoav Gallant days after October 7 that 'no food, no fuel, no water' should be allowed into Gaza and that Israel was 'fighting human animals' was not a rhetorical statement, it was a directive – admittedly in the days when the war was still a direct reaction to October 7.

But collective siege and the abuse of civilians are never legal"

Seems alleged War Criminal #1 (at large) doesn't like Israeli polls that would end the Genocide and the have the hostages returned - so he simply dismisses them.

• In a video posted on his X account, Netanyahu said that surveys showing that a majority of Israelis favor a hostage deal over continuing the war "are engineered," claiming that pollsters do not ask respondents if they support a hostage deal that leaves Hamas in control of Gaza.
  
• Responding to the video, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum accused Netanyahu of "presenting a false representation that we cannot reach a comprehensive agreement, in opposition to the people's will," adding that "the facts are simple: Over 80 percent of the people want an agreement that would bring the fighting to an end and the return of all hostages."

'Most moral army' etc

"TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The only time the Palestinian man wasn’t bound or blindfolded, he said, was when he was used by Israeli soldiers as their human shield.

Dressed in army fatigues with a camera fixed to his forehead, Ayman Abu Hamadan was forced into houses in the Gaza Strip to make sure they were clear of bombs and gunmen, he said. When one unit finished with him, he was passed to the next.

“They beat me and told me: ‘You have no other option; do this or we’ll kill you,’” the 36-year-old told The Associated Press, describing the 2 1/2 weeks he was held last summer by the Israeli military in northern Gaza. Orders often came from the top, and at times nearly every platoon used a Palestinian to clear locations, said an Israeli officer, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. "

Indeed - the weapons of choice for terrorists - scalpels and operating tables… God forbid the IDF were attacked by a scalpel-wielding Palestinian or had an operating table dropped onto them from height…

Israel is preventing the entry of medical equipment into Gaza, claiming it is "dual-use" and could be exploited by Hamas or other terrorist groups for weaponry or infrastructure development.

The complete list of banned equipment, compiled in June and obtained by Haaretz, includes essential items for Gaza's healthcare system, such as operating tables, scalpels and ultrasound machine parts, as well as items that could be used to build shelters for the civilian population.

Genocider No.1 is afraid of ending up in prison on other charges (corruption) if the ''War'' ends. It suits him more than anyone else to keep it going.

War Crime after War Crime. Just like refusing water, medicine and food. That on top of all the other murders. Pariah state.

The court case result has come in?

His comments evoking comparisons with Nazi-era Germany were fiercely attacked inside Israel. The heritage minister, Amichai Eliyahu, in effect called for Olmert to be jailed over the comments, with a barely veiled reference to time he served for corruption offences after leaving office.

“[Olmert] already knows prison very well,” Eliyahu said. “There is no other way to shut him down from the hatred and antisemitism he spreads around the world.”

The biggest bested democracy in the Middle East.

100% correct. They never ever reply to the substance of the post. Just little shallow digs at a single line and then run away. Some are gone for weeks and months.
