Israeli Minister Demands More War, World Yawns on Cue
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, according to RT, is pushing to restart the Gaza offensive, claiming 'complete victory.' This isn't a new script; it’s a direct callback to decades of Israeli hardline rhetoric. Netanyahu himself has repeatedly delayed or rejected peace proposals, from Oslo Accords during his 1996 premiership to his 2014 'destroy Hamas' operations that led to thousands of
Palestinian deaths and no lasting security. The goal isn't 'victory'; it's often about maintaining a status quo that benefits hardliners and allows continued expansion. One might wonder if 'security' ministers have ever found a problem a bigger war couldn't fix. The media dutifully reports these declarations as news, rarely providing the historical context of endless cycles of violence. How many
times must one government demand 'complete victory' before the press asks: victory over what, exactly? And at what cost?
