AI Summary:
Palestinians have long been the world’s forgotten people. The dreadful deprivations, starvation, trauma, forced marches, massacres, and many other outrages they have endured no longer provoke shock or much fury among the so-called “international community” – just resignation and shrugs. Benjamin Netanyahu is being welcomed these days with handshakes and honour guards by prime ministers of Greece and Hungary as a “dear friend” “this is our strategy,” says the Israeli captives. “crushing” of Hamas is the rhetorical pretext to destroy all of Gaza and the West Bank, he says. The goal is not, as Netanyahu claims – absurdly – to pressure Hamaas to free the captives, says the odious. Israelis protesting Netanyahu’s refusal to abide by the terms of the agreement brokered by regional governments earlier this year that required the release of all the captives. Their remonstrations are futile since Netanyahu is, by nature and temperament, a rampaging settler in a well-tailored suit. If Netanyahu treats Israelis hoping to be reunited with their loved ones with such contempt, why would anyone believe that he or his extremist government would ever act in good faith with Palestinians? Israeli captives are unlikely to see Israel again. For Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel, “victory” and the new “promised land” are close by.
