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

🗓️ July 26, 2025

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.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
