No, Netanyahu it’s not Churchill, as Francesco Cundari rightly wrote on Linkiesta but there are few liberals, to my knowledge, who consider him a defender of Western liberal democracy. On the contrary, and I am among them, they have considered him for years a danger to Israeli liberal democracy first and foremost.
Looking at wars through the eyes of morality brings no benefit to anyone. The war was started by Iran through Hamasthe excesses and crimes of war are a horrible and unforgivable part of that horrible and unforgivable thing that is war. There are international tribunals that will evaluate whether even the minimal rules of war have been violated, and by whom. I do not know whether the violence of these Middle Eastern wars will produce a solution for the future. But only a just peace will heal if not the wounds, the potential for further violence that terrorism and repression have spread in the past and continue to spread.
The right peace. Politics then.
