Shortly after the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October last year, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu presented the meaning of the current phase of the conflict and, which seemed to be an exaggeration at the time, he called it the Second War of Independence: “The war against the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas is our second war of independence; our partners around the planet realize well that we are fighting not only in our own name but in the name of all mankind, due to the fact that it is the clash of civilization with barbarism.”
Since this declaration, respective months have passed and the course has passed, and even more so, the picture, of this conflict, on the 1 hand confirms that it may actually be the completion of the 1948 War of Independence, and at the same time its result may be different from the result of the first war.
If we look at the media transmission and the sympathy of the public around the world, Israel is no longer supported. These actions he conducts in Gaza many consider war crimes, and any even as genocide. This image emerges erstwhile taking into account the size and structure of the victims among the participants of the clash.
On the part of Israel, so far, 695 civilian casualties and 676 soldiers and police and peculiar services were to be lost. If we take into account the fact that a large part of these Israeli civilians are armed force reservists, any with weapons at home, it may turn out that susceptible civilians are a number among the general victims on the side of Israel.
But if we take the Palestinian side, there would be over 33,000 dead, including 14,000 children and 9,200 women. There are more than 15 Palestinian victims per Israeli victim, most of whom are women and children. Does the elimination of many terrorists justify specified mass sacrifices among children and women?

In addition, for a long time now, there has been a large shortage of food there and the people of Gaza are at hazard of starvation. According to the planet Food Programme (the world's largest humanitarian organization – the UN agency), as many as 30 percent of children under the age of 2 in Gaza may be highly undernourished. Oxfam, an global humanitarian organization dealing with hunger, said that as of January, the inhabitants of the northern part of the Gaza Strip, the 1 most attacked by Israel, have received only 245 calories a day on average. This is the level of malnutrition leading to fast death.
It is worth recalling that, according to the estimates of prof. Tomasz Szarota, included in the work of the “Busted Warsaw day of the week. Historical study", the average ration of card food for an adult resident of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940–1942 was 200–500 calories a day. However, food intake in the ghetto was at a higher level, as it was supplemented by widespread smuggling, so that the amount of food available to civilians in Gaza present and calculated at 245 calories is most likely even smaller than in the Warsaw ghetto. If the deliberate starvation of judaic ghetto residents was 1 of the main elements of the extermination of this population, what should we call what is happening in Gaza today?
Taking all of this together, it is not amazing that many people call the genocide of Israel's current actions in Gaza. More and more people are aware that, in the absence of countermeasures, this could consequence in the extermination of Gaza's population. This even reaches members of the U.S. elite of judaic descent. prof. Jeffrey Sachs is against the United States arming Israel and asks the question:” Do the United States want to be an accessory to genocide?’
Israel itself sees this dramatic change in Israel’s view of the world. Israel’s most popular commercial tv channel, Keshet 12, laments: “Israel has been in the worst situation in the planet since its inception; The planet hates us, the support for us is low, and anti-Semitism has reached a advanced level.
Netanyahu was right, comparing current events in Gaza to the Second War of Independence. However, Israel appears to be losing this war today.
At 1 time Israel did not care about the world’s opinion, for with the unconditional support of the United States, he could treat the remainder with a bar of anti-Semitism, which was very effective in silencing opponents. Now, in the face of what's happening in Gaza, it's starting to end, due to the fact that not only the unconditional support of the U.S. is uncertain, but the anti-Semitism baton has stopped working.
This is best seen on the example of the incidental with Ambassador Jakow Liwne, which was the consequence of his behavior, after the Israeli army attacked the convoy of the planet Central Kitchen charity, 7 people died, including Pole Damian Soból.
The plain tried to reject Israel's demands for work for the attack and the old-fashioned usage of anti-Semitism as a political tool. This time, however, the outrage was besides large for specified a method of blurring work to be effective. Just the paradigm of Israel's perception has changed with us, and specified behavior, which has so far been eluded and accepted by our, trained anti-Semitism, pseudo-elity with its underwrought tail, now no longer functions.
