972Mag, Orly Noy: We are at war, therefore we are
'“You can’t step in the same river twice,” goes the saying by the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. But apparently you can destroy an enemy you already proclaimed destroyed. Only eight months ago, following the ceasefire with Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that “in the 12 days of Operation Rising Lion, we achieved a historic victory, which will stand for generations.”It turns out this “historic victory” did not last even a single year, let alone generations.'
'This time, the attack came with an added objective: liberating the Iranian people from the oppressive rule of the ayatollahs. For it is well known that one of Israel’s central roles in the Middle East is to rain freedom upon the peoples of the region with fighter jets and bombers. '
'Shocked, I shared the videos from the school on my Facebook page. I confess I did not expect the torrent of hatred that followed.
I already know that, aside from a very narrow fringe, one cannot expect empathetic reactions to the mass killing of Palestinians; that the overwhelming majority of the Jewish public in Israel not only does not mourn but openly rejoices at every Palestinian death, under any circumstances. But I did not imagine that similar bloodlust would accompany the bombing to death of little girls in school uniforms, particularly after so many Israelis rushed to declare that it wasn’t the Iranian people who are our enemy, but the regime.'
'Netanyahu is a cynical and dangerous war criminal. But one thing cannot be denied: No Israeli leader has so deeply understood the collective psyche of Jewish Israeli society. A society that seems capable of feeling its own pulse only in war and destruction; that, if it is not attacking, destroying, and killing, is not entirely certain that it exists. In that sense, Netanyahu fits it like a glove.'
