Victory is an opportunity for Israel in the midst of crisis

Be worst and mark yourself as an enemy to all neighboring countries? Kinda gambling on infinite military support from the US there, bud.

An actual “opportunity” would be to register the current war as a complete and utter willing failure in de-escalation, intelligence and peacebuilding by the current regime and have it replaced. Properly replaced. Bibi in jail for life replaced. Then maybe after 10-20 years of painful concessions and diplomacy some real peace may begin.

Invading a modern, prepared country is actually quite difficult, and none of Israel's neighbors are exactly military powerhouses. If the US pulled all of our aid tomorrow (God, I WISH), Israel would have domestic political problems, but could still maintain its military spending at the cost of either moderate tax rises (to the chagrin of the right-wing) or moderate cuts to benefits (to the chagrin of what passes for the left anymore). Even if it decided to go it with the reduced budget, Israel would still be a terribly tough nut to crack, at least in a war that threatened the existence of Israel.

Not saying they’d be successfully invaded, but incursions and barrages are going to increase. It’s not a good outcome for them in any way.

True.

Hey guys, just Israeli Intelligence Minister openly advocating ethnic cleansing.

Totally normal.

EDIT: “The international community can assist in the costs of resettlement, helping the people of Gaza build new lives in their new host countries.”

Imagine commiting ethnic cleansing and expecting the international community to pay the bill.
