Fire erupts from the Andalus Tower as it is destroyed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City early on Sunday. Israel pummeled the Gaza Strip with air strikes, killing 10 members of an extended family and demolishing a building housing international media outlets, including the Associated Press, as Palestinian militants fired back barrages of rockets.
This will be a hollow victory, however, as it will only return Israel to a status quo of ever-present tension and threat: in Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, and every Israeli town where Jews and Arabs live in close proximity. The only real winner here is the man who sold Israelis on the idea that this state of permanent war and occupation is acceptable: Netanyahu himself.
Bennett on Thursday said his party could not join a government with the UAL while violence is ongoing in mixed Jewish-Arab cities — a nod to the inherent absurdity of a coalition between Jewish nationalists and Palestinian Islamists. He claims to be working toward a broader unity government that would include Netanyahu, Lapid, New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar, and Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz. There is little chance of this coming to fruition, however.
Meanwhile, by scuttling the prospective change government, the ongoing violence has bought Netanyahu some time to change his fortunes. His rivals are not blind to this: Lapid on Sunday alleged that political considerations were at play in the government’s response to the crisis, noting that “the fire always breaks out precisely when it’s most convenient” for the embattled prime minister.

NettenYayHoo, like our Con Man, is also overdue for prison
israel was a socialist & left leaning nation. For decades. It gave away land for peace. Took all Jews out of Gaza. But Arabs kept waging war on it. It only logical that they would go with someone who won't stand for sh-t.
