‘Israel Drowns in Gaza’ – Maariv

Yedioth Ahronoth acknowledged that after nearly 15 months since the start of the war on Gaza, Israel continues to pay a heavy price in wounded and dead every time it takes a step forward.

The newspaper continues that “…no one really understands the reason” why the “army takes two steps back.” It noted that every time the army announces the “cleansing” of an area, it states that the “terrorists” (Palestinian resistance fighters) return to it.

The newspaper asked: “What is happening behind the scene? After 15 months since the start of the war, we have proven to ourselves, to the enemy in Gaza, and to the entire Middle East, that we are failing to accomplish the mission.”

The Jewish daily therefore poses the other question and states: “Isn’t it a crime to send our sons over and over again to shed their blood in the same area,” stating that don’t “Israelis deserve senior leaders at the political level who know how to bear responsibility, and know how to determine policy, without excuses and without cover-up.”

This is while Maariv, another Jewish daily acknowledged that “Israel has begun to feel drowning in the Gaza quagmire and intellectual stagnation regarding the future,” adding: “We are paying a very heavy price.”

According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. “It’s on a crazy scale,” one soldier said. “Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.” – The Palestine Project
