A cogent remark by Yoav Gallant:
“We are in a multi-front war. We are being attacked from seven fronts — Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), Iraq, Yemen and Iran,” he said. “We have already responded and acted on six of those fronts.”
Israel’s enemies want to frame this as a David vs. Goliath of huge Israel bombing helpless innocent Gazans, and the world is buying into this false framing. Every time an official says they do not want the Gaza war to “spread” to other theatres like Lebanon they are showing that Iran’s framing is working. Nothing about Gaza compelled Hezbollah, Syria, Iraqi groups and the Houthis to attack different parts of Israel.…
They want to pretend it is “Gaza under attack,” not “Israel under attack,” even though the war started with an attack on Israel and it continues with multiple, multi-front and continuous attacks on Israel.
