I’m actually quite positive right now in that regard, like I haven’t been since the fucker killed Rabin: The right-wing vision of security for Israel just blew up in the nation’s face, big time. The IDF was busy backing up settlers harassing Palestinians in the West Bank and thus not on the Gazan border, the whole “antagonise until they give up” approach binds resources needed to actually provide security. Also, Palestinians don’t show any signs of giving up.
If the left goes in with a “security, checkpoints, de-settlement and de-escalation” policy (of course in addition to lowering pudding prices) they might just take the Knesset wholesale.
Because one thing is rather curious about Israel: While the people pretty much bought the ring-wing security vision, that didn’t mean an overall shift to the right. And the seeds for the “we bred that monster” type insights are definitely already there in the Israeli press, even if formulated cautiously. Ultimately the whole current military situation has to be over with before actual politics happen.
