Israel is like the short guy in your group of friends always ready to brawl...
But needs everyone's help to back him up.
Because this short guy was beaten up 100 times in the past until they decided to strike back and win - and they are also doing everyone's homework.
With a side hustle of trying to "not just win this fight, but also all future fights" (as put by Ender).
If Israel is trying to ensure its safety and survival while surrounded by enemies, its current course of action is guaranteed to make that impossible for the forseeable future. You couldn't ask for a more perfect recipe for continued terrorism against Israel if you specifically tried to create one.
The irony is that the framework of international law that was created after World War 2, specifically to deal with crimes against the Jews, showed the right way to deal with monstrous acts 10 times worse than October 7th, without creating an endless cycle of violence and humiliation and retribution like the one that led led to the rise of the terrorist state which had tried to exterminate them. Modern Israel has taken that priceless and painful lesson, and left it trampled and forgotten in the mud while they embark on their latest bloodthirsty adventure.
The problem with "modern Israel" is that... it isn't modern.
Its conception lies in the late 19th century, before even WW1, way before WW2, the Holocaust, or any of the laws and organizations (UN) set to deal with the aftermath.
Zionists hijacked the prosecution in Europe, hoping to populate their promised land with those fleeing from the horrors... but even after WW2, it turned out that a large number of Jews would rather GTFO to America, be it North or South... so the "founding fathers" of Israel intentionally antagonized Arab countries, just to make Jews flee those countries and have a large enough headcount to populate the land of Israel. Like, WTF! Who does that to their own people?... oh right, Palestinian Arabs got into the same game. ☹️
Of course the leaders of Israel have learned nothing, they want their people to stay terrorized, whatever it takes! They still think that's the way to keep them there, to get more international support, to prove how endangered they are. While the other side is playing the "no, me more" card. It's sickening.
This is where analogies break down... that same "short guy" locked most of his next door neighbours in their basement.
And he's currently trying to distract everyone's attention from mounting evidence that he's a serial killer.
