Shifting Stance on Gaza Conflict

  • πŸ’‘ Piers Morgan, previously a staunch supporter of Israel, acknowledges a shift in perspective regarding the conflict in Gaza.
  • 🀝 He states he has reached common ground with Medie, agreeing that the situation amounts to the starvation of the people in Gaza, including women and children.
  • πŸ’₯ Morgan criticizes the incessant bombing and killing, noting the lack of a clear plan for the conflict's end.

Israeli Government's Stated Intentions

  • 🎯 Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister, is quoted as saying Israel is there to "conquer, cleanse, and remain."
  • 🏚️ Smotrich also stated, "We are disassembling Gaza. We are leaving it as piles of rubble," and that Gazans will have to leave.
  • πŸ—£οΈ These statements are highlighted as evidence of intentions discussed by some observers since the previous year.

Growing Consensus on Genocide

  • πŸ”¬ An Israeli researcher of genocide, Schmal Leman, has changed his position, now stating that what is happening in Gaza "is a genocide."
  • πŸŽ“ Leman reports a consensus among genocide scholars that the events in Gaza constitute genocide, as corroborated by interviews with leading scholars.
  • ⚠️ Former Israeli deputy chief of the military, Yair Golan, stated that a sane country does not attack civilians, kill babies as a hobby, or expel civilian populations.

Shifting International and Political Landscape

  • πŸ“‰ Israel is losing support across the political spectrum, with polls reflecting this shift.
  • 🌍 Europe's tone has become harsher, with the visible suffering of starving children making the situation appear clearly intentional.
  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The absence of a Democratic president in the White House, who previously provided cover for Israel, is noted as a factor.
  • ⏳ Even former President Trump, who might otherwise align with Israeli interests, cannot influence Netanyahu, suggesting a strategy of Israel "biting their time."

Long-Term Israeli Strategy

  • ⏳ The strategy of establishing "facts on the ground" through settlements, particularly in the West Bank, has been a decades-long approach.
  • 🚧 The intention is to make rolling back these developments too difficult over time, by building settlements and encouraging immigration.
  • 🚧 This strategy is seen as being applied in Gaza, with limited aid trucks allowed in, suggesting a continuation of their actions despite international pressure.
