Israeli historians and thinkers frequently discuss the "eighty-year complex", observing that many "Jewish states and kingdoms throughout history" have collapsed before reaching their eightieth year.

The Israeli news website Mivzak Live raised concerns about the current situation in Israeli settler communities, drawing a parallel to events that occurred 2,088 years ago. It highlighted the growing social tensions in "Israel's seventy-seventh year, noting the historical collapse of the Hasmonean kingdom in its seventy-seventh year following a devastating internal conflict."

It recalled that "the Hasmonean kingdom, established over two thousand years ago, collapsed in its seventy-seventh year following a bloody civil war."

The Israeli website Mivzak Live pointed out the troubling historical parallel between the two periods, despite the thousands of years separating them. It noted that both the Hasmonean kingdom and the modern Israeli occupation entity have endured roughly the same number of years, which raises significant concerns given the current challenges facing Israeli communities today.

It emphasized that "the collapse of the Hasmonean kingdom, which occurred due to intense internal conflicts, serves as a historical warning of the dangers posed by deep internal divisions."

The news website added, "The message emerging from history warns of the real danger of self-destruction due to civil war."

Israeli historians and thinkers frequently discuss the "eighty-year complex", observing that many "Jewish states and kingdoms throughout history" have collapsed before reaching their eightieth year. Since the Israeli occupation entity was established in 1948, it will mark its seventy-seventh year at the beginning of 2025.

Internal divisions loom over the occupation 

This comes as "Israel" juggles between internal divisions and external threats, as dozens of Israeli settlers, including activists and families of captives, staged a protest in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening, blocking a major road to condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s failure to secure an early agreement for the release of captives in Gaza.

Opposition leaders and captive families accuse Netanyahu of hindering the deal to protect his political standing. Meanwhile, hardline ministers like Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have threatened to bring down the government if a ceasefire is reached.

The Israeli military has continued its genocide in Gaza, which has resulted in the killing of over 45,550 Palestinians, primarily women and children. This has occurred despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the ongoing war on Gaza.

The Israeli entity is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its actions in Gaza.
