Israel has clearly failed to secure any genuine or lasting victory, and the obvious solution is for Israel to be reined in and held accountable for its crimes in Gaza and throughout Palestine.
The inability to ensure basic aid to Gaza will profoundly question our shared humanity for years to come.
Israel itself is acutely aware of this inherent paradox, hence its immediate and brutal choice: the perpetration of a genocide, a horrific act intended to pave the way for the ethnic cleansing of the remaining survivors.
Eyal Zamir, who had already committed that “2025 will be a year of war,” seems less inclined now to escalate the war beyond Israel’s ability to sustain it.
While US activists advocating for justice in Palestine deserve unwavering support and defense for their profound courage and humanity, Americans must also recognize that they, and the remnants of their democracy, are equally at risk.
The fact that France would be among the last group of countries in the world to formally recognize Palestine, speaks volumes about France’s apparent attempt to belatedly align itself with the prevailing global consensus.

Palestine may not be the sole measure by which the Trump administration will be judged, nor the only factor shaping future voting patterns. Yet, it is undoubtedly a crucial test.
It is clear that Israel is now using the Arabs to mask its own vulnerabilities. And though the monkey continues to climb, his tail has never been as exposed as it is today.
