Even if Israel “wins” this round against the nuclear program of Iran, what did we win if we stay in the claws of a corrupt and apocalyptic regime?
“From October 7 (2023 – the moment of the Hamas attack, n.red.), The Israeli society became dependent on salvation from the outside. A fantasy of return: Trump will bring the hostages back. The Iran will collapse. The Palestinians in Gaza will disappear in Somaliland or in Finland.
Israel does not believe that he can even repair himself. We can no longer want and stop dreaming. Our institutions collapsed long before any residential building in Tehran. Our foundations have been hollowed out.
What remained is a maniac-depressive national mood: from the tunnels in which the hostages are, to the euphoric discussions after a successful blow. This is what has become the Israeli identity, ”writes the publisher at Haaretz.
There will be no victory without an account adjustment
It continues its criticism of how the Israeli “victory” is presented and launches a warning at the same time.
“But today, another” victory “has turned into another long night, a night that seems to never end, a night to consider. Even though Israel “wins” this round against Iran, what did we win if we stay in the meadows of a corrupt, apocalyptic regime?
There will be no victory without a regulation of accounts, “he writes who believes that” Israel is increasingly isolated on the global stage.
“If this is Victoria, why does it feel like a collapse?”
“In these moments of disorder, moments that have become years, there must be a fundamental paradigm change. Or, like evaluation – or the desire – to Netanyahu, we will always live through the sword.
The days pass. From one protest to another, from hostage to hostage, another killed soldier, another four, fire termination discussions begin and end, delegates arrive and leave Doha, rockets drawn to and from Yemen, and nothing changes.
We may be saved again by an Iron Dome (Israeli missile defense system). But not a god from heaven. If something will end us, it will not fall like the fire above. It will rot below: from the tunnels in which the hostages stand, from the burnt roots of the olives, from the silence with which we learned to live. If this is Victoria, why does it feel like a collapse?
