Re: Smotrich: Israel could strike and send Lebanon back 30 years

You are confusing damage to buildings and large civilian death tolls with winning. “Israel” gains nothing economically from buildings in Gaza standing or falling. Even less, “Israel” is not winning by murdering civilians and thereby recruiting new Hamas members who now have an unending motivation to avenge the loss of their family members.

True winning can not ignore the economic impact of “Israel’s” genocidal ambitions…i.e The Southern port Eilat declaring bankruptcy…the loss of productivity from IDF reservists not performing their civilian work…the cost disparity between the Iron dome rockets and the drones they shoot down…the loss of economic input from the 550,000 “Israelis” that have already fled the country…the increased cost of imported goods that must be re-routed through Haifa…the increased costs of law enforcement within “Israel” to control protests by their own civilians…the increased costs of firefighters to extinguish the blazes on the Northern areas…the economic losses by corporations responding to BDS sentiment and cancelling contracts with “Israel”….ALL of which amount to BILLIONS of dollars worth of economic LOSS for “Israel” and resulting in financial rating downgrading and subsequent decreases in foreign investment in “Israel”.

The Haredi are openly discussing a mass exodus from “Israel”…Chinese weapons are now being used by Hamas (“Red Arrow” ATGM’s) WITHIN GAZA….Russian made SAM 7 anti-aircraft rockets have also made their way into the hands of Hamas…Iran ALREADY has enough 60% purified uranium to produce several low yield nuclear warheads and they can deliver them by hypersonic missiles which take 440 seconds of flight time between Tehran and Tel Aviv…and Iron Dome can’t fire fast enough to stop them. Egypt is pissed off at “Israel” about violating the Camp David accord regarding occupation of the Philadelphia corridor…and are amassing tanks on that border who have instructions to “fire if fired upon” (after that incident of “Israel” killing one of their soldiers).

This is not what winning looks like.
