The America's leverage on Israel is sustaining the cycle of violence in the MiddleEast. Hamas knows that when Israel retaliates to their provocations that America will quickly surrender to international pressure and force Israel to accede to a ceasefire. This America's interference must stop as it emboldens the Palestine terrorist organization to continue its unending provocations, a matter now made worse because Hamas has figured out how to mount a strong and effective public relations campaign against Israel and probably outdid and outperformed Israel during this latest hostilities. They swayed world's opinion greatly against Israel, thanks to new social media which made it possible for news feeds which would have not come out in the past to be easily readily available and seen everywhere throughout the world.
Israel cannot continue in this pattern where Hamas provocations end up being spinned as Israel using excessive force and disproportionate retaliation. Such a narrative paints Israel as the monster and being seen as "killer of women and children" only decreases their friends and increases their enemies in the world. Israel must get back into its strategy room and figure out how to upturn their bully profile and get the world back on their side by clearly defending why they are forced to do what they do in defense of their population from the vicious attacks of Palestinian terrorist organizations. If it means reinventing the wheel, whatever it takes, because they are losing the edge in the propaganda and "explanation" department.
It makes sustaining their position unattainable as the fear is that the growing Palestine influence or rather sympathy, especially among newer generation, the woke crowd might someday force America to have a rethink about its lockstep support of Israel. Politicians are harlotry as all they care about is how to win the next election and if it means throwing Israel to the wolves, so be it. With maximum pressure, they will cave in and abandon Israel and Black Lives Matter anarchists joining the Palestine cause now have complicated the matter for Israel the more.
Even some American people with Jewish pedigree, particularly foremost politicians, who used to openly defend Israel are now very reluctant to step up to the plate and fiercely battle on behalf of Israel. They are now cowering to the woke culture which is ravaging Western societies, particularly America. How long Israel can survive under this climate, with their public relations boat steadily taking water, tilting over and threatening to capsize under the weight of world shifting opinion is but anyone's guess. You know that the table is tipping against Israel when their government is now being compared with the apartheid government of then South Africa. If the world caved in to pressure and changed the apartheid government, the Jewish government will also be replaced someday by the majority Arab Palestinians.
ICHEOKU says maintaining a monolithic society in this modern times when the world is steadily melting into one huge multi racial society is increasingly becoming difficult, so, Israel must review its desire to keep Israel a puritanically Jewish State. Multiculturalism is the new vogue and if the United Kingdom which was formerly British could fall with a Pakistani Muslim now heading the City of London and so many Indians heading so many government departments, it is only a matter of time before the Jewish State of Israel is forced to do away with its Jewishness. Other European countries as well are witnessing the same flash flood ravaging their cultures and it will not be too long before the government in Israel is compelled to reflect the numerical strength of Palestinians.
Therefore, a smart futuristic thinking Israel which still wants to have a Jewish State of Israel in the future, must accelerate the two State's solution and bring it into being now to effectively separate Palestine and Israel to avoid being swallowed up in an Israel without Jewish to its name where a new majority Arabs govern. This is the only option that makes sense in its bid to keep Israel Jewish because the trajectory of world opinion will not tolerate a Jewish State of Israel as it is within the near future time. The pressure to reform is mounting and it will be without let or hinderance until achieved as is with every democracy where the majority rules. Unless Israeli women starts breeding like rabbits like their Palestinian counterparts to saturate Israel with Jewish children, the sustainability future looks bleak.
Alternatively, Israel should wean themselves off America's dependency and paddle their canoe on the choppy waters of the MiddleEast on their own. That way they can empathically refuse and say no to America any time the White House wants to meddle in or dictate their internal affairs domestic policy as it affects Palestine. North Korea has been surviving and getting away with a lot of things and they are still a forceful nation to reckon with as the world is forced to pay attention each time they start firing off rockets and missiles across the sea of Japan. That is what having a position of strength really looks like and not when there is a master somewhere, the puppet stringer, who must be deferred to and which forces you to come to a heel, each time it says stop.
Although being the ever obedient dog comes with the usual treats, but it also comes with a leash and leaves the dog without a choice in the relationship. The dog must always obey to get a treat otherwise it is shouted at and yanked until it cowers to owner's command. Conversely, wolves and wild dogs are till surviving on their own and forcefully latch unto their preys until they bring them down by eating them alive. The choice is really Israel's to make whether they can declare their freedom and start calling the shots on matters affecting their security and eternal survival or remain the obedient dog whimpering at the feet of the White House and craving to be loved, provided for and of course protected by the big master.
So, becoming a fully independent nation in the real sense of it, with the right not to be unreasonably dictated to by the White House, is a decision which Israel must have to make. If they don't, they will forever remain a sidekick of America with the attendant risk that their interest and security are solely dependent on the disposition of the White House. What happens if someday the White House capitulates and surrenders to the pressure from the wokeist leftist ideology which is increasingly becoming anti semitic and in support of Palestine, a new detrimental reality which is starring down on Israel. Why would Hamas ever stop their frequently occurring intermittent provocations when they know that America will always step in to halt retaliatory attacks by Israel and thereby prevent Israel from wiping them out.
ICHEOKU says was really full of expectations that the odds of Israel heeding to another sudden ceasefire this time around was low, but they eventually capitulated, begging the question how much dependent are they really on America that makes them tremble each time the White House says wait a minute, do not proceed any further. It is a sort of weak point for them and the enemies of Israel know exactly how to twist and tweak it against them, using emotional blackmail and international pressure brought by way of the White House. During the whole hostility, nobody said anything critical and condemnable about Hamas for being the agent provocateur of the conflict nor attacked Hamas for killing some children in Israel. All the blame game was placed on Israel and you wonder would Israel have reacted if Hamas did not first shoot rockets into Israel?
Would children have died on both sides if Hamas did not initiate the hostilities, fully aware that there is no children proof bombs and missiles and that children being killed in the explosions was a high probability. But they did what they did anyway and Israel reacted as they reacted too, but now all the chastisements are being placed on Israel for using "disproportionate" excessive force and for "killing" women and children. It does not matter to these anti semitic story tellers that those women gave birth to those terrorists and that those children will some day grow up to join the terrorist organization and become terrorists themselves. But their hatred for Jewish audacity to defend themselves and their Jewish nation took a better hold of them and with it they lost their ability to be impartial in their assessment of the situation.
If Hamas had a superior fire force they would have deployed it maximally without a care in the world how many Israeli women and children died. Israel must wake up now and smell the coffee that time is no longer on their side and that world opinion is changing and tilting away from Israel in favor of Palestine. Israel must do something now or live to someday regret how these constant ceasefires damaged their Jewishness. It is an existential threat facing them and it is now more ominous than ever. It is either Israel accept the two States solution now or they simply wipe out Hamas to deny Palestinians the claim they assert and deny them the spirit to fight on by completely destroying their will to resist. Israel must treat the day of reckoning as if it is already here because their Ides of March has since come, admitted it has not yet passed.
