1/ Israel is shocked to hear that our newly appointed military attachè to Belgium, Col. Moshe Tetro, who served as coordinator of IDF civilian-related activities in Gaza, may be investigated for war crimes. He authorized and denied food entry into Gaza. --->
2/ He was also the one who spoke with Gazan hospital administrators to inform them their hospitals will be destroyed and that they must "evacuate" within hours. These are the crimes for which arrest warrants were issued against our PM and former defense minister. --->
3/ Israelis are saying that Netanyahu and Gallant are defending themselves and throwing good men under the bus. The vanity we all share is maddening. There are no "good men". It is no single person's fault. All of us have spilt and are spilling this blood. --->
4/ The same vanity is responsible for our combative approach when it comes to Hizballah's violations of the ceasefire. We violated it, in the most commonsensical sense of the word, about 60 times before Hizballah shot two mortar shells into Israeli territory. --->
5/ That does not count, of course. We were taking care of business, defending our security, preventing Hizballah "empowerment". The reason is that as far as we are concerned, Hizballah and Lebanon and everybode else on the planet lacks a third dimension. They are not real. --->
6/ The Palestinians are the least real of all. We send, to Belgium, an officer directly in charge of the starvation of the Palestinians. This man confirmed the horrid deaths of the weakest, the sickest, the most incapable. We send him. Why? Because we don't care. --->
7/ The trend in Israel now is to waffle about the civil war that Israelis are now fighting between the secular left and the religious right. The former fight for a liberal Israel. The latter fight for a religious Israel. We are all genocidaires. Hence the wafflng. --->
8/ We are genocidaires not just in the death and destruction we rain on the Palestinians. These are the product of a culture built on foundations of dehumanization. To be ourselves we erased our other. We thought we could do this quietly. We were wrong. --->
9/ There is nothing delicate or gentle about humanism. Solidarity should be raucous. It should drown out the fearmongering, isolating drums of Fascism. Solidarity should define and choose between the good and the bad, life and death. Israel is deathly quiet now.

1/ Minor medical dramas (all is well; everything's dramatic when you have cancer) have prevented me from writing for the past few days. Still the downtime involved in being a patient (endless waiting for the healthy ones looking after you) gave me some pause for thinking. --->
2/ I am repeatedly asked why I stay in Israel. I am also repeatedly told that no one cares what is happening in Israel and to Israelis. The logic is similar - Israel is evil. It is a criminal state. All that matters is that it be stopped and brought to justice. --->
3/ No argument from me about the evil and the criminality. No argument about the need to stop us. We should be shunned for a very long time, as speechless as we sought to make the Palestinians. We should be punished for our actions. We have substituted death for life. --->

1/ When asked what the mood in Israel is regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon and whether this is a ploy or an actual attempt to generate stability, my answer remains: Israel is a failing state. We're not smart enough for ploys. We don't know what stability means. --->
2/ The protests against Netanyahu are returning to the streets tomorrow (Saturday) night. They are protests against Netanyahu, not against the war. Most of the good people (sincerely) protesting will say that Netanyahu is promoting a settlement/occupation strategy. --->
3/ Why is this important? Because that means Netanyahu is fighting the wrong war as a result of political pressure. If he only listens to reason Israel can fight the right war! The war, after all, is a necessity. What alternative do we have? We were attacked!!! --->

1/ I don't know what to make of the ceasefire in Lebanon other than the immediate relief that comes with even some cessation of violence. Time will tell if this is an Israeli ploy. I doubt Israel is capable of many ploys at this stage of the game. I do know something else. --->
2/ The ceasefire is a means of continuing Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people. I am happy for my countrymen no longer bombed in the north of Israel. I am happy for the Lebanese no longer slaughtered in their thousands. This only exacerbates the genocide. --->
3/ The return to talk of "realpolitik", of assessing relative gains and losses, of backroom deals made and rejected, all these are also attempts to detract from the horror of Israel's genocide and from the complicity in the genocide by the "peacemakers" of Lebanon. --->

1/ Is the "detachment of fronts", the separation of Lebanon and Gaza, a ceasefire with Lebanon as the genocide in Gaza continues, an Israeli victory? To some extent, it is. Israel has forced Hizballah to accept this. I think that it is also proof of Israel's failure. --->
2/ Why? First, because it refutes Israel's grand conspiracy - all of this is an Iranian plan to destroy us. Hizballah notified Iran about the ceasefire. Hamas acted alone on October 7th, 2023. There was no Iranian orchestration. Leave the "ring of fire" to Johnny Cash. --->
3/ Should we sign an agreement with the Lebanese government we are also recognizing that Hizballah is not an Iranian drone that has hijacked Lebanon. We are legitimizing Hizballah. We are also bringing Iran into the circle. We have lost our singularity status. --->

1/ Following its enabling of Israel's genocide, the redemption of the world lies in the mendacity that lies at the core of this genocide. The lie that some lives are more meaningful than others is exposed by how cheap and riddled with death Israeli lives have become. --->
2/ No need to pity us. We are reaping the death we have sown. But it is important to state clearly that Israel is as weak as it has ever been and it is growing weaker. I've written this previously, but anyone who thinks Israel is triumphant is sorely mistaken. --->
3/ Everything on which we once prided ourselves is gone. We have lost a great deal of the democracy preserved for Jews alone. Our air defense is crumbling under attacks from Lebanon, attacks from an organization we claim to have decimated. We cannot make ends meet. --->

1/ Israel is now applying its genocidal strategies in Lebanon. It destroys and kills indiscriminately. It erases any and all signs of habitation. It spins a narrative of "targeted assassinations", also known as "the destruction of ... (fill in organization)". --->
2/ The genocidal strategies are the genocide. That is, Israel can and will deny any coherent plan to physically wipe out any "group" of people, as per the definition of genocide. Israel wants carte blanche, the ability to kill with no limitiations other than self-set ones. --->
3/ In fact, Israelis relish being accused of genocide against the Palestinians or the Lebanese. "If we wanted to," we say, "we could have killed them all in a week. We've got a nuclear option, you know!" What we want is to know with utmost certainty that we can. --->
