'Israel' blinded by vengeance; seeks desolation, calls it peace: WaPo

Ishaan Tharoor believes that Israelis are blinded by revenge against Hamas that they simply do not care what or who they destroy along the way.

An ancient Caledonian enemy of the Romans once said, “They make a desert, and call it peace."

According to Ishaan Tharoor in a Washington Post analysis, this may be similar to what "Israel" is doing today in Gaza in their attempt to "punish Hamas".

The Israeli occupation has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis that was in Gaza before its relentless bombing in the last month. 

With over 9,000 Palestinians now martyred and thousands of homes demolished, the UN has called Gaza “a graveyard for thousands of children."

On Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre in the residential area in Jabalia, resulting in a significant number of casualties, including many who are still trapped under the rubble. This marked the second massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Jabalia in less than 24 hours, with entire families among the casualties.

Mohammad Ibrahim, a witness, told CNN, “There were seven to eight huge holes in the ground, full of killed people, body parts all over the place. It felt like the end of the world.”

Craig Mokhiber, the director of the New York office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, resigned after he expressed that the UN was yet again failing to stop a "textbook case for genocide."

“The current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people, rooted in an ethno-nationalist colonial settler ideology, in continuation of decades of their systematic persecution and purging, based entirely upon their status as Arabs … leaves no room for doubt,” Mokhiber wrote in his letter.

An IOF spokesperson defended the loss of life in Jabalia as a mere "tragedy of war," completely ignoring that Israeli officials have called for "erasing Gaza from the face of the earth."

Tharoor believes that even less extremist Israelis know that there cannot be a return to pre-October 7th Gaza. 

Dahlia Scheindlin, an Israeli political scientist, told Tharoor during a "peace panel" that “the lesson many are arguing now is that Israel should never relinquish territory, should always maintain complete security control over all territory, and that Palestinians should never be allowed to have self-determination."

Meanwhile, Israeli Local Call reported this week that a leaked document circulated in the Israeli intelligence ministry suggested the depopulation of Gaza and ethnic cleansing.

Ex-Israeli intel chief: Netanyahu focused on survival

Former Israeli intelligence chief Lt.-Gen. Amos Malka slammed the conduct of the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, during a radio interview, stating, "His judgment in the conduct of the war at the moment is flawed and tends towards a blame game and a plan to detach himself from responsibility."

Earlier today, a report by The Economist expressed that the Israeli occupation is witnessing a political battle over the conduct of the war, its repercussions, and who makes the decisions. 

According to the report, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is “at the heart of this battle,” and he has been the dominant figure in Israeli politics for more than two decades.

The newspaper described Netanyahu as “the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time."

"The general opinion is that he has lost the confidence of the Israeli public opinion and who has difficulty effectively running a war cabinet. He is also an unlikely candidate to achieve the two-state solution that USA implicitly demands in exchange for his support of the offensive," The Economist added.
