Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Thursday that no Israelis “in their right mind” are thinking about peace as Israeli officials continue to make clear the onslaught in Gaza will not end anytime soon.
“If you ask an average Israeli now about his or her mental state, nobody in his right mind is willing now to think about what will be the solution of the peace agreements,” he said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Because everybody wants to know: Can we be promised real safety in the future?” Herzog added.
His comments came after Israeli TV reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s current assessment is that the operations in Gaza will continue into 2025. Israeli military officials have said publicly that they expect the fighting to continue through the entire year of 2024.
Netanyahu has repeatedly vowed the slaughter will continue despite the growing international pressure, which includes South Africa accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
South Africa’s case cites genocidal rhetoric from Israeli officials, including Herzog, who said there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone,” the Israeli president said on October 12.
Why would any Israeli indoctrinated into a culture of hate have any moral compass concerning the Palestinian people. These people actually believe the fables of being God’s chosen people, but act like inhumane savages regarding fellow human beings who happen not to be Zionists. Thankfully many Israeli’s do not adhere to all of the propaganda they are fed, and reject the Israeli military and government’s inhumane diktats.
The IDF’s War Crimes Are a Perfect Reflection of Israeli Society
Not that many unfortunately. Not too surprising therefore that their President isn’t able to hang on to sanity either.
The question to solve here is not about Israeli safety, the key to unlock that puzzle is about guaranteed Palestinian safety and sovereignty, freedom from Israeli aggression and oppression. The dismantling of Apartheid in Israel proper, abandonement and international condemnation of Zionism for the racist colonialist ideology it is, equal rights based on citizenship defined and secured in a new constitution that has been cleared of any trace of Jewish exclusivity.
We used to answer “Justice for the Palestinians.”, but now I don’t think even that would do it. The Israeli crimes are to monstrous and of too long duration. The Israelis have to go elsewhere.
Perhaps this interview by Chris Hedges (found in Scheerpost) might be the clincher: https://scheerpost.com/2024/01/15/the-idfs-war-crimes-are-a-perfect-reflection-of-israeli-society/

Absurd .
Shameful.
Words have lost all meaning. A select few interpret benign words for malignant intent.
More than a few, I’m sorry to say.
Right, by this “logic”, “kill kill kill” is supportive and loving. We have reached peak Orwell.
All news is compromised. With the latest TVs, “they” can see you. Next will be the scene from “1984” when Edmund O’brien stands front of the TV (or scanner) shows that he is emptying his pockets, reveal his I.D. badge, pats himself down.
Multiples of exceeded peak Orwell.
The Israeli people are not monolithic.
No nation or culture is.
President Isaac “Werner II” Herzog seems guilty of antisemitism if he’s suggesting all Israelis are hateful warmongerers.
Also, President Herzog and your “(no innocent civilians in Gaza). “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone.”
Your legal team at the ICJ is phoning YOU with the same message they gave your Prime Minister : “F**king SHUT UP !!”

Aprobo !!
The Israeli government is actively attacking and jailing dissidents who are calling for a ceasefire. Strangely the Israeli press is reporting on these events, but the Western MSM is not.
Actually I know at least 2 Israeli dissidents that believe that oct 7th was a Mossad / IDF stand down…allowing it to happen to initate the condoned violence for a greater Israel.
I know one israeli that believes 9/11 was done by aliens.
But you dont see that on MSM, why?
They are hiding something.

“Because everybody wants to know: Can we be promised real safety in the future while still practicing apartheid?” Herzog added.
fixed.
I believe the headline and will also believe it if i read it this way:
Head of Hamas Says ‘No Palestinians/Hamas In Their Right Mind’ Are Thinking About Peace.
“Can we be promised real safety in the future?”
Very stupid guy.
