DENIAL AND RATIONALIZATION, NO LONGER WORKING
OWN POLICIES MAY BE ITS BIGGEST THREAT
It appears that a critical time in Israel's experiment may have now reached its most dangerous threat to its existence, not from Iran or other opponents in the region, but from its own policies that are in the process of alienating most of the world. The situation in Gaza and it seems a desire for endless war have piece by piece caused the biggest lose of world support in its history.
While much of this is labeled as defensive strategies it is no longer being accepted by a growing majority of world opinion. Israel is a small country with a big powerful ally that has historically had the support of most of the world. Sadly that support has evaporated due to its polices in the last 2 years. Claims of opposition psych ops and other excuses are no longer credible. Israel needs a change of direction quickly or its future is going to be dire.
Not only has it lost world support, but it is fragmenting within, with an effort to keep its population up, but forbidding travel out of the country, other authoritarian measures and the economy is losing its vitality quickly. The country is likely in its most critical situation in it's history.
The latest debate of whether people are starving in Gaza or not? If Israel is intentionally committing genocide or not? This is not the debate that will encourage support for Israel.
Then there are public statements from high ranking Israeli politicians that state that the whole population of Gaza is Hamaa and should be treated as such. That babies will in 15 years be terrorists and that food, water and medicine should be cut off until Hamas surrenders. All this is soon heard by the world.
Then there is the plan to displace the whole population of Gaza into a small area in the south in preparation for their removal to some still unknown place. There are reports that Israel and the U.S. is negotiating with Libya and some other African nations. Will these people actually end up being sold on the slave markets of Libya? Doesn't anyone realize that all this unacceptable, or have they come under some delusion, that everything is acceptable.
Today, real solutions are harder than ever. The animosity is deeper and stronger than ever. It has been a great failing that real solutions have never been seriously attempted. Now the situation has deteriorated and it is doubtful if any of the population in the region will survive, including Israel.
