Gaza: Reduced to Quantifying Famine.

Netanyahu knows only too well that Israel is taking a massive hit internationally when it claims that there's no famine in Gaza. Everyone knows that's bullshit. The only open question is whether it's generalized or isolated. There's no famine among Hamas terrorists, while media reports clearly show the suffering of civilians who are emaciated. And then comes the blame game: Israel, Hamas and even the UN bear some responsibility for the deteriorating conditions in Gaza.

Netanyahu remains deluded in his belief that he can end this war by occupying Gaza City. He also thinks he can stamp out Hamas fighters and that ain't happening either. Poor remaining hostages.

Netanyahu is a poor student of history: Israel has failed before both in Gaza and Lebanon. Expect much more of the same. It's like the stalemate and inertia of trench warfare in WWI. Two losers, no winner. Neither side really wants peace and coexistence, so none of this comes as a surprise to anyone.
