Accept the Arab peace initiative, negotiate Hamas’s ceasefire offer, end blockade of civilian items, stop expanding illegal settlements, stop keeping Palestinians hostage in prisons without charges.

I would prioritize security and humanity and seek a diplomatic solution, not prioritize mass torment and colonization. And no, Israel didn’t. Ignored offers from Hamas, expanded settlements in the West Bank, blocked civilian goods to purposefully punish the population, carried out multiple massacres.

The irony is it shows the opposite, it was the mainstream center and left who supported and enabled Netanyahu in every disaster. Lapid supported the Gaza blockade and Abraham accords that lead to Oct 7, supported the Iran war which he now calls a strategic failure. Gideon Levy dedicated his life to exposing the crimes of the occupation he enabled. He is the one who looked past petty political squabbles and sought humanity and tried to stop it before it lead to more disaster. Not only did the opposition in israel ignore and maintain it, they still don’t process the unsustainable situation. This is why netanyahu always wins, he doesn’t have actual opposition.

It demonstrates the desperation of the cultural right. Even if you believe this there is no path for it to happen so saying it is just alienating potential allies. It is setting in for them that the various lobbies took over any influence and power the right wing had and used them for their own ends, meanwhile the left had near total cultural victory in this gap. Now it’s too late, all they can do is project their anger at groups they feel symbolize their loss of influence. Such as immigrants, young women, sexual minorities.

If you look up the standards for a cult just about any institution in society and society as a whole fit it.
