The next october 7th is inevitable—And Israel is letting it happen

The truth about Israel is that it has not finished fighting its past wars, and yet it is already denying the wars of its future.

For over 500 days, even after the transition from a Democratic administration to the most pro-Israel government in U.S. history, Israel continues to supply, feed, strengthen, fund, and enhance the capabilities of its enemies—unlike any military force in history. And it does all of this while its citizens and leaders schizophrenically speak of "victory."

The reason behind this bizarre and unprecedented reality is quite clear. Public sentiment in Israel is still thirsty for revenge and victory (don’t believe the fake polls claiming Israelis prefer a deal with Hamas over its downfall).

At the same time, the Israeli government needs the war against a weak and pathetic enemy like Hamas to continue its tanure —because ending the war would mean state investigative committees, and those committees would mean the collapse of the government.

On the other hand, while the government spins fairy tales about a total victory (which would be possible if Israel's leadership cared about Israel enough to listen to Trump, rather than about their own power, which necessitates keeping Hamas alive).

Yet, it also needs the hostage release campaign to act as a sort of smokescreen. This campaign conveniently prevents right-wing pressure for Hamas’ decisive defeat. And as stated, avoiding the enemy’s defeat is crucial, because ending Hamas means ending the war—and that could mean the end of the government itself. It’s a Catch-22 in political form.

But this is not just about politics—it's also about the severe damage to Israel’s national security that is unfolding in the background.

Israel is Failing to Prepare for the Real War

Before Israel has even defeated Hezbollah, Iran, or Hamas, it has already—unsurprisingly—found two of the strongest militaries in the Middle East positioned along its borders: Turkey and Egypt—the two great Sunni empires. And Israel’s readiness for war against them is about as thorough as its willingness to truly defeat Hamas.

Meanwhile, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s rookie replacement, Israel Katz, makes empty declarations every other day. The IDF has yet to conduct an objective, systemic investigation of the October 7th failures, and Israel’s government and military leadership have sealed a backroom deal of mutual protection—"you cover for me, I’ll cover for you." Both are now composed of some of the most incompetent figures in Zionist history.

Yes, credit must be given where it is due: Israel’s handling of Syria has been excellent, and the military’s work in Lebanon has been solid. But on the ground, the situation is deteriorating rapidly:

And if that weren’t enough, the U.S., for better or worse, is now rehabilitating Russia—which means that it will soon be able to do the same for its own allies.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of all? The man who is supposed to be Israel’s Prime Minister, who has Israel's best interest in mind is sitting in Washington, not Jerusalem.
