"Total Defeat: Israeli Media Say
 Israel Is Beaten & Terrified Of Iran"

"At least two mainstream Israeli publications have outlined how breathakingly screwed their own government is over Gaza and Iran. This is an interesting story, not only because it nails on just how breathtakingly ruined Israel is reputationally, militarily and internationally, but because this comes from an Israeli news source, the Israeli version of the Guardian, Haaretz, using Benjamin Netanyahu’s oft used ‘Total Victory’ phrase against him in an article headlined ‘Total Defeat.’ If Bibi was fed up with Haaretz before, with threats to shut them down, this story will have him climbing the walls, but there is so much to agree with in it. There really is no way out of this that will restore Israel’s standing on the world stage and any nations associating with them, defending them and expressing their loyalty towards them are only damaging their own reputations at the same time. You can take a stand for what is right and finally deal with this appalling administration, or you can go down with them in Total Defeat.

So Israel is facing Total Defeat according to Haaretz newspaper and an op-ed article written by Chaim Levinson and this article, "Saying What Can't Be Said: Israel Has Been Defeated – a Total Defeat" is anything but pro Hamas, but definitely anti-Netanyahu and puts a large amount of the focus on him and the bats**t coalition regime he has assembled about him as the reason for it as this excerpt shows:

"After half a year, we could have been in a totally different place, but we're being held hostage by the worst leadership in the country's history – and a decent contender for the title of worst leadership anywhere, ever. Every military undertaking is supposed to have a diplomatic exit – the military action should lead to a better diplomatic reality. Israel has no diplomatic exit.

It has a scoundrel for a leader, someone with no capacity for leadership or decision-making, a person who loses his sense of good judgment over a free cigar. Yet the electorate put its faith in the current prime minister to the tune of 32 Knesset seats." Caustic description but true and I daresay many of us would be significantly less polite about Netanyahu here.

Reputationally, Israel has gone from playing the world’s biggest professional victims, a nation so many sympathized with, that uses antisemitism to get whatever it wants, arguing it is racist to oppose them doing what they like and people being too afraid of being labelled as such to disagree, to now being seen as a global pariah state, having been attacked by Hamas and having hostages taken, to now no longer being seen as the victim but the aggressor and instigator of genocide against the entire population of the Gaza Strip and not just Hamas. That isn’t a genie that is going to go back in its bottle, frankly there is no way back from that with the eyes of the world having been opened to save for the government of Netanyahu to fall, Netanyahu and his cabinet being brought up on war crimes as I think they should be and the withdrawal of Israel from the Occupied Palestinian Territories with borders being redrawn at least on 1967 lines."
