Netanyahu Not Ready to Lose, so Killing 40k-50k is Answer
one thin Netanyahu could say that would please virtually everyone: "A long as I am Prime Minister, Israel will remain in Gaza".
Put me in Gaza
Tel Aviv, Gaza Strip 10.35pm
Netanyahu doesn't care about the hostages which is why the families are furious and protesting. They know he cares only for his own power. Longer the war goes on better for his political life.
Even now, in the middle of possibly the worst moment since 1948, there are groups of Palestinians and Jews working to forge a future together. Because there's no other future. Any word or action that helps these people move forward is good. Anything that pulls us apart is bad. You know that annoying dynamic where a couple gets into a fight, and when they want to reconcile, their friends and family continue inciting them against each other? You see a lot of that in this conflict: some of the worst hate-mongers are outsiders who have no skin in the game.
The real battle is underway in Jerusalem, not Gaza. The Israeli mainstream and the Biden administration realize that the only reasonable course of action is to dismantle Hamas and transfer Gaza's management to an international force and the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu and the messianic right disagree.
In the 1st days of the war, Israeli leaders (a term that excludes almost all of the Netanyahu regime) promised: we'll be victorious. The main question was and remains: what do you mean by victory. The corollary, the flip side, is no less important: what does it mean to lose?
A sense of dignity, and a sense of agency goes a long way in motivating vulnerable populations, and if violent armed groups provide the only avenue to pursue those things, those groups will enjoy uncontested primacy in Palestinian life. Struck by the Israeli regime’s sadism. The way I see Israeli faces light up when desecrating, humiliating, & torturing Palestinians. It’s yet another reminder that nothing holy can ever come from a nation state as corrupt & debased as Israel
Hell in Gaza. Tonight, November 10th, 2023, around 10.23pm
After more than a month of hard fighting, with the Israel Defense Forces encircling Gaza City and efficiently destroying Hamas infrastructures, the Israeli government is unable to agree on its postwar policy.
This is a matter of supreme importance, because the course the war takes derives from its strategic goal. The IDF is not operating in a vacuum; its activity must support and indeed reinforce the policy for the “morning after.”

At present, there is no agreement over what that policy should be – hence the main campaign in this war is actually being waged in Jerusalem – not in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu has spent a month pounding Gaza into rubble and filling the streets with children's blood, and until tonight still unstoppable. With European and American weapons, and European and American support.
I know a lot of high-ranking media, such as New York Times, Guardian, Anadolu, BILD, Spiegel, Financial Times, Strait Times, Washington Post etc subscribed my substack. Plestia ‘Bosbos’ Alaqad ready to be your Stringer inside Gaza under bombing by Israel. Plestiaa2011@gmail.com
Toddler with Plestia, before war, living in Northern Gaza and they evacuated to Southern Gaza. Since Friday, Oct 13, when Israel announced to every Gazans from northern move to southern, more than 5,000 killed in southern, not counting barbaric bombing in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza is being depopulated, while even residents in the south are ordered to evacuate as the israelis implement their ethnic cleansing. Refugee literally fulfilled Israel warning, and still killed with barbaric bombing by Israel. Documentation by Plestia Alaqad
