In the face of an Israeli media discourse that justifies the war of genocide and starvation on Gaza, the analyst in the Haaretz Tsafi newspaper considered that the besieged sector achieved an “existential and moral victory” over Israel, not only through his military resistance, but by dismantling the “genetic structure of the state and Israeli society”, threatening an internal collapse without the need for a radical coup or political change.
Barail, an Arab affairs analyst in the newspaper, commented on the statement of the Arab MP Ayman Odeh, who said that “Gaza has won, Gaza will win,” noting that this phrase is no longer only a slogan, but a tangible fact that is embodied daily since the outbreak of the war in October 2023, whether through the scenes of death, destruction and hunger inside the sector, or through the repercussions of the war that tears Israel from within.
The Israeli writer believes that what is happening in Gaza has exceeded that it is a military war to be a changing factor for the structure of Israel itself, while the public discourse in Israel is busy with the manifestations of democratic collapse, Barayel believes that the Gaza Strip, with its victims, hunger and destruction, is making “genetic amendments” to the Israeli society and state, eliminating the need for any internal coup.

Marginal issues
He confirms that the panic that followed the coup attempt before October 7, the terror of the dismissal of the public prosecutor, the shock from the expected appointment of a militant leader at the head of the Internal Security Service (Shin Bet), as well as boycotting the President of the Supreme Court, and the legislation that gives the government unlimited powers, all turned into marginal cases.
He adds, “The struggle that was seen as the last defense of democracy began to lose its meaning, in light of what is happening in Gaza.”
The Israeli writer notes that “while thousands of words are written warning against the death of democracy, Gaza undertakes the mission of the coup from abroad, as dozens of children, women and the elderly are killed daily, just because they try to reach food parcels, and entire families are buried under the rubble, at a time when the Israeli army does not allow them to save them.”
According to Barail, these are no longer an exceptional war scenes, but rather they are justified within the so -called “security needs” and the protection of the soldiers. He says, “The presence of Israel, as it is promoted, has become conditional on the extermination of Gaza.”
“This doctrine divided the war into objectives that seem reasonable:” control of 75% of the sector “,” the fall of Hamas rule “,” the return of the hostages “,” the collection of the population in a human city “, but instead of achieving it, the war turned to itself. Its existence justifies its continuation.

An immoral state
While the Israeli writer is trying to imagine the so -called “complete Israeli victory”, as the militant ruling coalition deems it, by raising the Israeli flag over the mosques of Gaza, denying its residents, eliminating fighters, and paving roads to establish settlements, the following question arises: “With which nation we will celebrate victory?”.
He answers this by saying, “In less than two years, Gaza turned Israel into another country; a state in which the denial of freedom of expression, the arrest of journalists, the expulsion of teachers, the suppression of culture, the strike of the kidnappers, the burning of the Palestinian homes in the West Bank, and the torture of the prisoners.”
“Gaza also distorted the citizens of Israel, changed their language and identity from citizens who appreciated human life, who became named in the name of the Holy Mission to sacrifice the kidnappers, sacrifice their children, and sacrificing thousands of children, women and elders from another people.”
His article concludes by saying that control of Gaza “turned Israel into a disjointed, retaliatory, immoral, and above all, free of hope and ambition, and no victory will be able to come at a high price from the healing and restoration of the deep scar that dug in the history of the state and in the personality of Israeli society.”
