🔥 Netanyahu’s Masterstroke: How to Accidentally Build the Palestinian State You Swore to Destroy

Let us all rise and give a slow, sarcastic standing ovation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the man who, in trying to erase even the possibility of a Palestinian state, might just be the godfather of its rebirth.

Yes, you read that right. According to a biting analysis by Jonathan Lis in Haaretz, the same leader who built his legacy on bulldozing peace talks, starving the Palestinian Authority, and nurturing Hamas like a twisted bonsai tree — has now stumbled into crafting the very conditions that make a Palestinian state not only possible but inevitable.

🧠 The Genius Plan: Sabotage Statehood at All Costs

Netanyahu’s fear of a Palestinian state borders on obsession — like a ghost that haunts him in every diplomatic corridor. His vision? A perpetually fragmented Palestinian society: Hamas ruling Gaza with rockets and iron, while the Palestinian Authority withers in the West Bank under economic suffocation, checkpoints, and public humiliation.

Divide. Undermine. Delay. Repeat.
A state that’s too fractured to stand? Perfect.
A leadership too divided to negotiate? Even better.

🧨 Let Hamas Bloom, Crush the PA

Brilliant strategy: Feed them and strangle the moderates.
Years of calculated negligence allowed Hamas to entrench itself in Gaza — a convenient enemy to justify perpetual siege and avoid peace talks. Meanwhile, the PA — the very body the international community wants to deal with — has been treated like a pest:

Tax revenues? Withheld.
Economy? Choked.
Land? Eaten alive by settlements.
Dignity? Publicly shredded.

And then came October 7 — the moment Netanyahu’s house of cards burst into flames. Hamas, the Frankenstein he helped grow, unleashed a horror that shattered Israel’s illusion of “managed conflict.” The cost? Thousands dead. Gaza in ruins. International outrage at a boiling point.

💣 The Grand Backfire

And now? Netanyahu’s nightmare is rearing its head — not through negotiations, but through global pressure. The world — tired, furious, and traumatized — is looking at the only exit door that’s ever been on the table: a Palestinian state.

The very idea Netanyahu choked, stalled, and sabotaged is now being whispered in Washington, Brussels, and even in Israeli defense circles. Not out of moral awakening — no — but because his policies have made all alternatives look far worse.

Reoccupy the West Bank? Hello, apartheid 2.0.
Let it fall into chaos? Hamas 2.0, this time right next to Tel Aviv.
Keep status quo? That illusion’s been bombed to dust.

🕳️ A Hole Dug So Deep, It Might Be a Tunnel to Ramallah

The PA is now a ghost. If it collapses completely, Israel gets two choices:

Reimpose direct rule over millions of Palestinians — a fiscal, military, and moral black hole.
Watch radical groups rise from the ashes and turn the West Bank into another Gaza.

Either path ends in disaster. Either path brings more pressure for a political solution. And guess what that solution looks like?

Yes. The dreaded, terrifying, monstrous Palestinian state.

(.NOTE : THESE ARE VIEWS AND ANALYSIS OF COLUMNIST OF HAARETZ)

📌 The Ironic Legacy of Bibi the Bulldozer

Let’s not pretend this was intentional. Netanyahu didn’t miscalculate — he misbelieved. He believed division was strategy. He believed humiliation equals peace. He believed stalling history could freeze it.

But reality has a cruel sense of humor. And now, the “day after” every diplomat is whispering about includes phrases Netanyahu fought his entire life to bury:

Two-state solution.
Final status talks.
Palestinian sovereignty.

Netanyahu, the arsonist, may go down in history as the accidental architect of the very state he spent decades trying to erase from the map.

📣 A Final Word

The tragic brilliance of this moment isn’t that Netanyahu outplayed himself.
It’s that in crushing every path to dignity, he made the demand for justice louder.
In trying to erase hope, he made it burn brighter.

What irony. What poetic catastrophe. What a masterclass in how not to kill an idea.

And what a reminder that oppression, no matter how elaborate or militarized, always ends up feeding the very resistance it seeks to destroy.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed.

Delivering the Dead: How the World Watches Gaza Bleed “ I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant. ” That’s not a horror-film script. That’s not medieval history. That is the testimony of an Australian medic standing in a Gaza hospital in 2025, describing what it means to “ practice medicine ” under Israeli bombardment. A nine-months-pregnant woman , decapitated , her body torn open so that the child she carried could be pulled out lifeless — and somehow this is still not enough to shake the comfortable democracies of the West into anything resembling a conscience. We should probably give the Nobel Prize for Creative Euphemism to the politicians who still call this “self-defense.” After all, there’s nothing quite as defensive as severing the head of an expectant mother and forcing foreign doctors to deliver her dead child in the rubble of what used to be a hospital . Bravo, civilization . The tragedy is not just the atrocity itself. It’s the smug perfo...

Docu Drama. The voice of Hind Rajab.

The Red Phone Rings, but the World Hits Mute The world just gave a 23-minute standing ovation —yes, twenty-three full minutes of clapping —for The Voice of Hind Rajab at the Venice Film Festival . Applause so long it could’ve filled Hind’s final desperate phone call to the Red Crescent. Bravo, humanity. We couldn’t save her when it mattered, but at least we can applaud her ghost. This is the new morality play: a five-year-old Palestinian child, trapped in a bullet-riddled car , whispering “please come, I’m scared ,” while surrounded by the corpses of her family. The Red Crescent tried . Paramedics drove toward her and were killed too . Israel buried them in silence . And the “ civilized world ”? It buried her in its news cycle . But now—don’t worry— we have a movie . Starring Hind’s voice. Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania. Produced by an ensemble of Hollywood conscience-bearers : Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Alfonso Cuarón, Jonathan Glazer, Jemima Khan , and others. ...

The End of Zionism? Welcome to the Funeral Nobody Wants to Admit Is Overdue

Of course. Haaretz recently published an opinion piece by Ithamar Handelman -Smith titled “ Some Say It’s the End of Zionism, and I Say That’s All Right .” And what impeccable timing: as Israel carries out a near-two-year campaign of siege, famine, and bombardment in Gaza — slaughtering families, burying aid workers with their ambulances, and literally starving children to death — someone in Israel finally whispers the unspeakable: maybe Zionism, that 20th-century project of “ Jewish salvation ,” has outlived its moral shelf life. Bravo. The house is burning, bodies are scattered in the street, and the philosopher shows up with a garden hose . Zionism: Success Story or Crime Scene? Handelman-Smith argues that Zionism achieved its success : a Jewish state, a safe haven, a fortress against the ghosts of Europe’s crimes . But like every “ success story ” drenched in other people’s blood , it didn’t age well. What began as refuge turned into domination; what was called “ ...

Dockers of Conscience: Italy’s Brave Guardians of Gaza

At a time when most governments avert their eyes , when institutions choose silence over principle, it is often the hands hardened by real work — the hands of dockworkers— that lift the banner of humanity. In Genoa , those hands belong to the members of the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) and the dockworkers’ collective CALP ( Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali ) . These are not new voices. For years they have stood where conscience demands —on the cold concrete of the docks , blocking ships laden with weapons destined for wars , refusing to let Italy’s ports be complicit in bloodshed. USB , born in 2010 out of grassroots struggles , has carried a proud history of international solidarity. Its members have consistently placed labor at the service of justice, from strikes against austerity to protests against militarism . CALP , forged in Genoa’s port , has a more direct history with Palestine: blocking Israeli-bound weapons , organizing boycotts, and declaring, time ...

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Century of Complicity in Disguise.

So we’ve reached this moment: Keir Starmer’s UK “ recognises the State of Palestine. ” Applause lines up. Speeches made. Headlines dazzled. But behind the pomp, the guns, the exports, the intelligence, the training — history rings out in mocking laughter. Because Britain has been complicit since day one. This recognition is not redemption . It’s theatre. 1. The Original Sin: Balfour Declaration Let’s go back. Because if you don’t know your history, you’ll be fooled by the future. On 2 November 1917 , Arthur James Balfour (Britain’s Foreign Secretary) wrote to Lord Rothschild, and officially declared: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object , it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine , or the rights and political sta...
