I hesitate to suggest anything positive has come out of the attack by Hamas on Israel but......

That doesn't mean their support will go to a Munich style "peace at any price" soft lefty.

It's not a binary choice.

Unfortunately, they'll be no getting rid of Hamas. Anti-Israeli sentiment will only become more entrenched after Israel's counter attack levels Gaza.

Poll Shows Catastrophic Drop Off in Support for Netanyahu​

One issue we’ve discussed since Saturday’s attacks is what effect the Hamas attacks and subsequent Israel-Hamas war would have on public opinion in Israel. Specifically, would there be a rally round the flag boost for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu? As I’ve tried to argue, it was not at all clear this would be the case. There’s been a great deal of anecdotal and reported evidence to the contrary. If you watch Israeli media there’s clearly been a vast upsurge of social solidarity and support for retaliation against Hamas (that civilians in Gaza will pay a heavy price for). But there’s been very, very little evidence of any surge in support for Netanyahu or his government. Indeed, we see signs of a volcanic anger against his government over its responsibility for the events of last weekend. There have been a number of viral videos of members of the coalition heckled in public or shouted down or forced to leave events in response to public anger.

Now we have one of the first polls and it appears to confirm all of that, a vast sea of public anger and catastrophic loss of support for Netanyahu’s government.

So you are cognitively unaware that it was the first time he was correct.

This attack was already carried out to weaken the Netanyahu govt, impossible for the US UK IL intelligences not to know about it. Let alone carrying out such an attack, no one can approach that border region in this way.

I think it was done to disrupt the peace talks between Saudi and Israel.

Mohammed bin Salman also spoke with Iran's president this week, signaling a retreat from the Biden administration's efforts to isolate Iran, which backs Hamas.

Netanyahu failed to protect civilians on his watch. Of course he’s not going to popular after what happened. Having said that he’s the left’s boogieman, as if he’s been an impediment to peace. Total nonsense.

He also failed to uphold his agreement to go after Solemini after training and plans for months with Trump which prompted Trump to diss him. Netanyahu pulled out at the last minute with no notice and we had to go it alone. Apparently Netanyahu was afraid of Iranian retaliation. I really don't blame him but am a bit confused why he didn't let Trump know.

I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

Israelis are united like never before.

Ditto for Americans a week after 9-11.

Plenty of time for recriminations later.

For now... it's War... taking it to Hamas... and probably leveling Gaza along the way.
