Though as brilliant as ruthless, #Kissinger is also mistaken.
As a child of the #FirstColdWar, it is surprising that he should not have thought of this when making this statement (if true, for lack of citation:)

1) In the case of mutually assured distruction / overkill capacity, both/all sides lose.

2)
I cannot go into detail, but it seems self-evident that in the #WarInGaza not only the #Israelis, but also...

... the #JewishDiaspora will be the losers for generations to come.
#Antisemitism is at a level globally not seen since #WWII, for starters. IMO, the chief loss for all #Jews will be that they can no longer claim that they are a special persecuted people (Babylon, Egypt, early Rome, Middle Ages, the #ThirdReich...)

The #NetanyahuRegime, the legitimately elected #Israeli government, has been comitting #Genocide on the...

...innocent #Palestinians. There are hardly any scholars of international law left globally that would negate this statement.

This abominable deed will haunt them for generations to come (probably less than the instigated murder of #Christ by the #Roman invasion force at the behest of the #Jerusalem elite, but still.)

On the other hand, #Israel has been very successful in carrying a scorched-earth strategy in #Gaza.

...generation or so.

Whereas the claims of antisemites and rabble rousers in the Middle Ages Claiming that "the #Jews poised the wells" could, to my knowledge, never be substantiated, this time round, they did poisen all wells, figuratively speaking.

All for the vanity and political survival of one criminal, #Netanyahu, as well as the unsustainable pipedreams of his right-wing coalition...

...partners.

I have to ask the #Israelis at this point: "Where are the hundres of thousands protesters that could (rightly) be seen when #Netanyahu and his allies created a constitutional crisis?"
If not for the warcrimes of the #IDF, or pitty for the miserable #Palestinians, then at least for the
damage this has been doing to #Jews's reputation and the buoying of #Antisemitism...

πŸ‘‰So, also in the war in #Gaza, both sides will lose, maybe even assymetrically so, seen from a generational perspective! πŸ‘ˆ

PS
I have long been very balanced in my posts, given the premeditated, savage deeds of the #Hamas terrorists two years ago.
I'm having an incredibly hard time to see the plights of *both* sides at this point... As well as many #Israeli luminaries recently.
