Israel is on its death-bed

If the 2006 July War shattered the myth of Israel’s invincibility, this latest war on Gaza has shattered the myth of Israel’s sustainability.  I am not just referring here to the military performance of Hamas, IJ and other groups, or to the demonstrable failure of Iron Dome, but to the ultimately self-destructive nature of Israel’s military strategy of genocide.
When a people have been subjected to such relentless barbarity, there is no worst case scenario that the oppressor can threaten them with. They have everything to gain and nothing left to lose from resisting to the end.
The more ground troops Israel sends into Gaza, the more opportunities it presents the Resistance with to abduct and kill them.
The only thing that is now preventing a cease-fire is Israel’s inability to find a face-saving exit strategy.
Israel’s identity as an invincible power and its physical security are entirely dependent on its ability to commit genocide at minimum human and economic cost, and that is no longer possible.
Israel is on its death-bed, regardless of what a long miserable death it will be.
