23. Too simple - or incomplete- an explanation that lets the broader society off the hook.

It says oh he's just a common criminal who, in order to escape justice, all of a sudden decided he was willing to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity. Genocide even. But only to escape justice and for no other reason. That is bollocks, though of course highly damning even if it were the complete truth. But it nicely serves to put the blame all on Netanyahu - one man.

Nope. It wasn't just Netanyahu.

I think the full truth is far uglier. October 7th was a "gift" to his personal agenda and ideology and those of people like him in Israel's right-wing, and in ISRAELI SOCIETY who were willing to do anything to rid "Eretz Israel" of Palestinians in pursuit of the Greater Israel project. We see now just how far they were willing to go.

Netanyahu is a practiced liar and he was very good at convincing people, that Israel had no other choice - Hamas is embedded everywhere! Oh really? In every sewer, every emergency and maternity unit of every hospital; in fact in every life-saving area of every hospital, every medical clinic, every single university (16, now all gone), bakery, power station, water treatment plant, nearly every single Palestinian home, every water tower, every aid warehouse, every mosque, every children's park, every antiquity heritage site even?? Hamas it seems was in every structure and institution necessary to sustain human life. And every civilian that got slaughtered in their home or orher places was a Human Shield!!


To swallow all this whole I will never understand. Do you still not SEE it was all a lie?? Lies delivered glibly and smoothly to lull the conscience of those who could not or did not want to SEE - until Gaza was in ruins and his and Likud et al's plans since before October 7th could come to fruition.
