A fourth front... Israel produced it for itself

The point at which the agendas of the Israeli political forces meet in their struggle and agreement is “intimidation.” Those in power intimidate the public against the opposition, as if it opens Israel’s doors to danger, and the opposition fears that the government is taking policies that endanger existence. As long as there is a government in Israel that fears for itself to fall, and as long as there is an opposition that seeks to win.

So; There is much talk these days that the Hebrew state is facing three fronts simultaneously, and only the current government is able to confront it, especially when Benjamin Netanyahu is its president. The only way out is to get rid of it.

These days, a fourth front has appeared in Israel, but it differs from the other fronts, namely: the Palestinian in Gaza and its extensions in the West Bank, and the Lebanese represented by “Hezbollah” standing with its “accurate” missiles on the direct line of contact between it and Lebanon, and the Syrian, which flares up at times and fades at other times. However, the danger remains. The talk of the government and the opposition about the three fronts has become routine in a way that the public has become accustomed to, and it is almost believable that the Israeli army, regardless of the government that leads it, can confront them and win in them, and the matter is not devoid of citations of past wars, and what Israel considers the victories that it celebrates until now, not to mention the Its massive destructive capabilities in Gaza and the southern suburbs and its geographical extension - the northern front - was not a slip of the tongue when the Minister of Defense threatened Lebanon to return it to the Stone Age if it committed an act that threatened the security of Israel.

However, it appeared in Israel, in the context of its celebrations of the victory of “June (67) 67” on the three fronts, to warn that what was in the year 1967 is no longer guaranteed to be repeated, as many matters and considerations have changed, and the current new is not a literal reproduction of the old.

The three fronts, with their current reality, characteristics and climates, and if it is possible for the political and military leaders to reassure the public of the ability to confront them at once, the one who reassures himself is not reassured. Whatever the capabilities of the Israeli army in confrontation, many opinion makers in Israel remind the army leaders that although it is winning its battles according to its estimates and standards, it has not yet decided one of them. The Palestinian front has not raised the white flag despite the enormity of its losses, and the Lebanese front has not Stop playing with the public's nerves, by talking about the hundreds of thousands of precision missiles ready to be launched when the decision is made.

Examining the seriousness of this type of threat is the prerogative of political leaders, and the information available to them and the assessments they reach. However, the Israeli leaders' repetition of that does not negate the fear that prevails in the hearts of their public, especially where there are adjacent settlements, as soon as a single missile is launched from In southern Lebanon, a large-scale spontaneous exodus begins, as well as on the Gaza border and beyond... which makes the three fronts, and their traditional names, a source of fear and anxiety, and lack of confidence in the Israeli army's decisive capabilities.

As for the fourth front, which is completely different from the traditional fronts, it started from within Israel as a small vine that was nurtured in order to nurture another body, and if its development and enlargement carries a dangerous repercussion for the entire Hebrew state, that is when the number of organized crime deaths in the Arab sector reached one hundred and two. This is double what it reached during the same period last year. What made this tumor, which was kept silent about, more likely to grow, and its disastrous effects on the Jewish state uncontainable, not in terms of image, reputation, and pretense of democracy, but in terms of public security; Because the two million Arab Palestinians live in Israel, each one of whom feels that the rampant crime is not the work of local gangs, but of the work of the state and its agencies, in which they live, hold passports and are called Israeli Arabs.

The Hebrew state, and especially its current government headed by Netanyahu, could not deny its responsibility for it, albeit in an indirect way, when an internal debate erupts about Netanyahu's intention to introduce the "Shin Bet" apparatus to resolve this dilemma, and many respond to him that whoever will assign him to solve it is mainly involved in the phenomenon, so this is an admission Indirect responsibility, as well as an acknowledgment that the Shin Bet, who knows what a Palestinian is whispering in the ear of his fiancée, certainly knows who killed hundreds of Palestinians during the era of organized crime, knows their hideouts, and knows the sources of their arming and protection.

The Shin Bet, which is the state's general security apparatus, either considers the two million Palestinians enemies who deserve what is done to them, or for professional reasons, it will not engage in work that would harm its affiliates and those in its orbit, and in either case... a disaster.

The Fourth Front counts two million Palestinians who do not carry weapons, to direct them to the state in which they live, but rather to bear arms against them, claiming the lives of their children, and filling their hearts with fear that each one of them will be the next number. Can Israel, the deep, “democratic” and civilized state, avoid the repercussions of this front on it? The Palestinians talk about an escalation on their part in the confrontation, some of them suggest handing over the keys to Knesset membership to its people, and some of them call for the heads of local councils to submit their resignations and close the doors of their municipalities, and other things that might happen. After the next meal of the dead, it reaches the level of total civil disobedience, which committees, promises and pacification pills will not solve.

Is Israel aware of the significance of what it did?

Do you realize the size of the rebound on it?

I'm afraid to say... Even if I wake up, and try, it might be too late.
In agreement with the "Middle East"
