Israel / Netanyahu crisis began long before 2023: it dates to the beginning of Israeli statehood and even earlier.

HAMAS - Netanyahu weird relation must end.

DC and Dearborn 2.56pm / Jerusalem - Gaza Strip - Tel Aviv 9.56pm / Delhi 0.26am / Berlin 8.56pm / London 7.56pm [376 hours of war, still continue] BREAKING NEWS live update trilingual [hebrew - arabic - english] click here. More than 5,000 [5,087] Palestine in Gaza alone killed [2,055 children and 1,119 women] by Israel. 96 Palestinian killed in the West Bank. Maybe [in Gaza] 6,000 - 6,500 because still a lot of victims under the rubbles. It means 62% of those killed are children and women. 62%, Almost two thirds.

Policy with such extensive collateral damage to Gaza's civilians nevertheless failed to stop massive buildup of rockets and weapons for the vast plot involving millions of people. Many Israeli analysts agree that blockading Gaza was the only way to deal with Hamas. But the catastrophic attack of October 7 opens up hard questions about whether the closure policy was another key Israeli strategic misconception since long year ago.

There remain large numbers of people who care deeply about Israel and Palestine, or both, in radically different ways. Even in "routine" times things were fraught with outrage and suspicion. These days are anything routine. Today discourse takes place under a pall that makes discussion excruciatingly painful, but all the more necessary It's wise to give people a little slack. Not to abandon principle or become numb to inhumanity - just some slack to people acting in good faith. Sooner or later one will need to return to political solutions and to imagine a confederal structure enabling two sovereign states to one day live in harmony, such as the proposal "A Land for All" similar Rabin - Arafat era.

Netanyahu was in bed with Hamas, and the fact that most of our security and intelligence community failed to see Hamas for what it was revealed to be makes them tragically mistaken, not collaborators with the Nazis. Retroactively attributing evil intent as the result of the horrifyingly carnage that we witnessed, months after an innocent gesture, and to everyone's surprise is the basest kind of character assassination. It's totally unwarranted.
