Netanyahu needs a distraction because the ball was dropped on his watch. His complicity in permitting funding and resources for Hamas to be allowed into Gaza will historically be viewed, rightly, as disastrous no matter how much he satisfies the bloodlust of Zionists today.

It’s the lack of, that arguably led towards the invasion of Ukraine, invasion of the Falklands and in a large degree the Second World War. If you’re deemed to be weak with no appetite for retaliation, you will be, at some point, attacked.

It’s not a pretence though, is it. If there was a two state solution arranged tomorrow, there are very short odds that they government of it would end up being an Islamist Jihadist group funded by Iran ……you can give them any name you wish.
Using the term “ tactics” is very charitable of you.
Don’t constrain yourself, we can go back thousand of years. As far back as when Jews were expelled from the very land they are accused of occupying ( but that’s a rabbit hole best avoided). Israel only has to look better in the defence of its people, no one else.
