Depends how you define losing. The antisemetic sentiment is so high and so scarily vulnerable that they are alienating and creating enemies out of those that were previous considered allies/supporters. I think Israel is doing irreversible damage. |
What previous allies? Israel has two allies: the U.S. and Germany. When your sworn enemy tunnels beneath you to harm you and fires missiles at you, you take action to stop it. Jews will always be scapegoated by people who need someone to blame for their own failures and problems. |
Incorrect. According to Wikipedia, the operation began after Hamas launched a higher than usual number of missiles at Israel. |
Incorrect. According to Wikipedia "An escalation of the Gaza-Israel conflict occurred mid-May 2014 following a series of events." Here is a description of those events: "On May 15 two unarmed Palestinian teenagers were killed by the IDF and eight civilians wounded during commemorations of Nakba day. On May 20 video evidence became available showing that the tenagers were posing no threat at the time.[73] The US called for an inquiry. The IDF reported that “live fire” had not been used, a claim refuted by B’Tselem based on bullets obtained from one of the victims’ backpacks. On May 22, as Michael Oren (former Israeli ambassador to the US) suggested on CNN that the boys may not be dead, the UN released a report of a sharp increase in Palestinian casualties over recent periods.[74] On June 9 the body of one of the teens, Nadim Numara, was exhumed and an autopsy performed which found that a live bullet had killed the teenager." |
