Gideon Levy wrote denouncing that a journalist who had no idea about his job distributed chocolates to passersby on live television to celebrate a targeted killing, stressing that Israel had never before stooped to such a low level.
Gideon Levy added – in his column in Haaretz newspaper – that another, more important and popular journalist, Ben Caspit, a representative of the false “moderate center”, wrote on the X platform that “Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was crushed in his lair and died like a lizard. A fitting end.” As if he had blown up the bunker himself, according to Levy.
However, the extent of the deaths caused by the 80 American bombs is not yet clear, knowing that the numbers will not have any impact in Israel, whether they are 100 or a thousand innocent civilians. Indeed, even the death of tens of thousands of children will not change anything in the Israeli mood, according to Levy. .
The writer wondered: Was Israel’s situation better on Sunday morning than it was on Friday morning? He said that the mood of most Israelis has improved after a dismal year, and that they have returned to worshiping the military establishment and venerating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but what has changed? If Hassan Nasrallah did not choose to die because he was a sworn enemy of Israel and Lebanon, nevertheless, killing him will not save Israel.
Let’s look around us
In our first week without Nasrallah – the writer says – it would be better to look around us. The West Bank is on the verge of exploding, Israel is stuck in devastated Gaza with no way out in sight for the detainees, Moody’s downgraded the economy to rock bottom, and the mass slaughter that began in Gaza. It moves to Lebanon, where half a million people have been displaced from their homes, in addition to two million in the Strip who are wandering homeless.
It is better not to mention Israel’s international standing, because looking at the United Nations General Assembly during Netanyahu’s speech on Friday was enough – according to Gideon Levy – and the security situation is more shaky than it seems, and a regional war may break out after we made great strides towards it on Friday.
During the past year, Israel spoke only one language – as the writer says – which is the language of unbridled war and force, and it is frustrating that millions of people lost everything because of that. While bombs were bombing the suburb amid the applause of the Israelis, millions in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon were crying. Bitterly over their fate, over their dead, over the disabled, over their lost possessions, and over the loss of the last crumbs of their dignity after they were left with nothing.
Levy concluded that the volcano will explode one day, whether Nasrallah is dead or alive, even though Israel, which depends on America for the massacres in Gaza and the war in Lebanon, believes that it can continue like this forever, and does not see any other option. However, it will not It would be possible without the support of Washington, which will not remain this way forever, given its isolationist tendencies.
