It's really quite pathetic that some people are still defending ths Netanyahu government for their decisions.

It's at this point obvious that unless the goal was a general genocide, the attack has already been a complete disaster by every other metric.

Israel has never been as globally unpopular, its international support has never been on shakier ground than it is now, the likelihood of more attacks in the future on Israel has only increased according to basically every analyst, and even pure unfiltered antisemitism is steadily growing in part due to the behavior and rhetoric of the Netanyahu government.

Netanyahu and his government have managed to turn massive global sympathy towards Israel after the Hamas attacks into global demands for economic sanctions, while making the long term security situation much, much worse.

It's been a long time since the Arab nations have been as united in their animosity towards Israel. The situation of the Palestinians hasn't had this much global sympathy in decades.

US is the only significant supporter it currently has standing on the diplomatic stage, and even they are very close to buckling under internal and external pressure to join in condemnation of Israel.

Unless you count the mass killing of Palestinians and emptying Northern Gaza of it's population as goals on their own, Israel has already lost "the war" in Gaza.

Yet some people still support the Netanyahu policies.

Hamas is three times as popular among Palestinians now than it was right before this latest round of violence started with the Hamas attacks, and looking at all of the above, they are probable very happy with what they did.

Netanyahu has given Hamas everything they could have wanted short of just arming the next wave of attacks himself.
