THE BEGINNING OF ISRAEL’S DEATH THROES
The final stage is the end of Zionism: Haaretz

The Israeli newspaper warns that Zionists in occupied Palestine have reached the stage of “brutishness”, which is one stage before the end.
Recent internal events suggest that Zionism is on a path to demise, and unless leaders take swift action, the existential countdown has already started, Haaretz warned in its Friday op-ed.
The newspaper mentioned the “Flag March” in occupied al-Quds, which took place earlier this week and saw Israeli settlers storming the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and violating its sanctity, attacking Palestinians and journalists, in addition to other Israelis, describing the scene as “ugly violence during the Jewish supremacy march.”

The writer recalled the words of a renowned philosopher, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, and his words on the steps toward the downfall of Zionism.
Leibowitz says, “The national pride and the euphoria following the Six-Day War are temporary. They will transport us from proud and rising nationalism to extreme messianic nationalism. The third stage will be brutishness, with the final stage being the end of Zionism.”
The outlet continued the report by providing evidence of “brutishness at its peak,” as it described it.
A reporter for Haaretz, who was on the ground during the “Flag March”, said that “the general atmosphere was one of revenge, the main symbol on the shirts was the fist of Kahana, and the popular song was the revenge song alongside ‘Death to Arabs’ and ‘Let your village burn.'”
“The most popular minister was Itamar Ben-Gvir, and the general atmosphere was terrifying,” said Nir Hasson. The newspaper said that Hasson was also attacked by the marching settlers, “who threw him to the ground and kicked him.”
“The reason they attacked journalists is that there were not enough Palestinian victims; Palestinian families stayed locked in their homes,” the report said.
But the Zionists in question are not few or “stray grass or any other expression from the softened vocabulary used in religious Zionism in its full Kahane manifestation,” Haaretz said.

“Brutishness is no longer confined to the margins, settlements, or outposts; it has spread in all directions and frighteningly infiltrated the ranks of the Israeli army, the Knesset, and the government. Ministers and Knesset members joined the thousands who marched, and some even danced to the tune of ‘revenge’,” it continued.
Finally, the report sounded the alarm, warning that “If the Israeli mainstream does not act to push the extremists to the margins of society, eliminate Kahanism, and remove the malignant occupation from the body of the state, it will only be a matter of time before Israel collapses completely. The countdown has begun.”

Full scale war in Lebanon will push ‘Israel’ into abyss: Israeli media
- By Al Mayadeen English Source: Israeli media 7 Jun 2024 11:05
Israeli media discuss the dangers of expanding the war with Lebanon, stressing that this “will push Israel to the brink of the abyss.”
Israeli media discussed the dangers of expanding the war with Lebanon into a full-scale war, stressing it would “push Israel to the brink of the abyss, especially with the absence of international legitimacy and an exhausted army.”
Military affairs analyst Amos Harel, writing for Haaretz, emphasized, “A war with Hezbollah would present an unprecedented challenge to Israel’s home front, with the northern and central regions confronting a level of threat previously unseen.”
He added, “It is increasingly challenging to anticipate positive developments on the horizon, particularly as we approach the ninth month of war.”
Harel continued, citing “a series of discussions held over the past two weeks with officials in security and military circles,” which disclosed growing signs that “Israel is heading towards a multidimensional failure.”
In this context, he emphasized that “Israel” finds itself entangled in all fronts, with the most critical being “the arena of confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon,” facing the looming threat of a full-scale war. He warned that such a war would dwarf all previous events, asserting, “Everything that occurred before would pale in comparison.”
Ceasefire talks
He also highlighted that the negotiations concerning the captives-detainees deal with Hamas are “encountering another crisis,” “despite a brief moment where it appeared that US President Joe Biden’s speech might offer a breakthrough.”
He further emphasized that “the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip, particularly centered around Rafah and the central camps, are unlikely to yield a conclusive victory in the near future.”
Earlier on Thursday, Israeli media highlighted that the hits resulting from Hezbollah’s operation against an Israeli military gathering in Elkosh settlement were severe, deeming it the most serious incident in the northern front since the beginning of the confrontations due to its distance from the border with Lebanon and the extent of the inflicted losses.
The media called for an investigation into the Israeli Air Force’s failure to detect and intercept Hezbollah’s drones.
Touching on the Elkosh operation, the Israeli Channel 14 correspondent said it was “a well-planned and coordinated” operation by Hezbollah, adding that the Lebanese group appears to be escalating the level of its attacks.
