In six months, the world has turned upside down for this small nation. On Oct. 7—or Black Sabbath, as Israelis now call it—the Jewish state experienced a fundamental shock that upended its sense of security and belief in the strength of its military. It responded with a heavy-handed invasion of Gaza that in much of the world’s eyes left it the aggressor and its attackers the victims. The resulting isolation could be more of a threat to its future than the attack by Hamas that killed 1,200 people on Oct. 7.
“Israel’s longevity is in question for the first time since its birth,” said Benny Morris, an Israeli historian. The only time Israel faced a similar existential threat, he said, was in its war for independence in 1948, when it battled five Arab countries and local Palestinian militias.
First of all, Benny Morris, please shut up. We all know you're in the "Israel was born in sin, continues to exist in sin and can only atone by disappearing" club.
ReplyDeleteIsrael's longevity is in question? Is he really calling for a second Holocaust? Because what else are you going to do with 7 million Jews with nowhere to go?
