2023-10-13 Israel’s Dwindling Moral High Ground Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, whose arrogance and blunders left Israel open to the Hamas massacre, is rapidly squandering a moment of global goodwill and moral high ground. A large majority of Israelis correctly blame Netanyahu for leaving the Gaza border defenseless by moving most of the Israeli army to defend illegal West Bank settlers who never should have been there in the first place.
A recent poll, published in The Jerusalem Post, finds that an astonishing 86 percent of respondents blame the Netanyahu government for allowing the massacre to happen, including 79 percent of the governing coalition supporters.
With his back to the wall, Netanyahu and his war Cabinet have vowed vengeance. “Every Hamas member is marked by death,” he declared Wednesday night, a threat he can’t possibly deliver on. Israel has already unleashed mass air strikes directed at Gaza residential neighborhoods based on the premise that Hamas leaders hide out there, leaving an incredible 300,000 Gazans homeless. These attacks have already killed more Gazan civilians than the number of Israelis killed in the initial Hamas massacre. They have also killed U.N. relief workers and local medical teams.
Netanyahu is on the verge of launching an invasion of northern Gaza to destroy Hamas as a fighting force. Israel’s military has told all civilians to evacuate northern Gaza, home to 1.1 million people, within 24 hours. It’s a dubious military proposition that is unlikely to produce the safe return of Israeli hostages. https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2023-10-13-israels-dwindling-moral-high-ground/
