The Israeli government is against everyone. It is against the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), against the Lebanese Hezbollah, against the Israeli army, and against the people. If it says that Hamas does not care about what happens to the people of Gaza, does it care about what happens in Israel? What happens is plundering, passing money to friends, helping ultra-Orthodox Jews, and ignoring those on the battle front.

With this introduction, writer Yossi Klein opened an article in Haaretz newspaper, in which he said that the fighters in the Israeli army are neither absent from reality nor stupid, and they realize that the government is fighting on their backs and that they are its cannon fodder.

He added that these fighters see where the money is going, they see the extension of reserve service, the inefficiency in dealing with displaced Israelis, and the indifference towards the detainees, and on top of that they see the goal of the war changing every week, from “overthrowing Hamas” in the past to “absolute victory” now.

What is this “absolute victory” for which they sacrifice their lives? -The writer wonders- Laird that the media knows, and the journalists who can analyze every second in the mind of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, know what is happening in the mind of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and they know that “absolute victory” means preserving Netanyahu’s rule, not “the next day” neither overthrowing Hamas nor releasing detainees.

Journalists know this - according to the writer - but they do not convey what the public should know, but rather what the public wants. As for what the public does not want to know, it is that their children are fighting for Netanyahu. The evidence is that the most reliable Channel 1 - according to an opinion poll - is the least watched. Because the public would rather lie to him than to torture him with the bitter truth.

The commentators - as the writer says - do not tell the painful truth in front of the cameras, such as the fact that the detainees are under the barrel of a gun, but rather they present a false scene of reserve soldiers ready to serve for two or three years if that will achieve the goal, and at the same time they cover up the fact that the goal is deliberately ambiguous.

The writer concluded - sarcastically - that the brilliant minds who do not even know how to care for 100,000 Israeli refugees will “know” how to “transfer” 1.4 million refugees from Gaza, and they have continued to bombard them with leaflets asking them to transfer themselves, and whoever remains “may God have mercy on them.” .

At the conclusion of his article, Yossi Klein suggested to the pollster to check the extent of the public’s support for an action in Rafah during which 5,000 elderly people, women and children were killed, guessing that the public would support it, on the condition that they did not see it.
