There is no shortage of videos testifying to all that is happening to the civilian population of Gaza, and everyone is surprised as to why no one is doing anything about it.
The real problem, as I will shortly illustrate in great detail in a lengthy paper nearing completion, is that all of this, beyond the rivers of words that abound in the various communiqués and heartfelt appeals that crowd the web and social media on a daily basis, goes exactly in the direction of the interests of all the Great Powers and most of the Arab countries in the area. Eventually Likud and Netanyahu will be erased from the political establishment of the new State of Israel.
The reason is very simple: no one wants to have to deal at every turn with the instability that has characterized the Middle East in recent years until now, an instability stemming from the Israeli-Palestinian dispute that has been further aggravated by the Zionist right-wing leadership of Israel.
Neither the United States nor Russia, neither China nor India, neither Saudi Arabia nor the United Arab Emirates nor Tehran, which currently no longer needs Hamas or even Hezbollah to fight its war against the United States since Iran is now part of the BRICS.
At the same time, all the above-mentioned countries need good relations with Israel, just as Israel needs the same in order to take full advantage of being strategically located, exactly in the center of the main communication route between the Far East and Western markets, all the more so now that the New Silk Road is blown up due to the Russian-Ukrainian war that has lost one of its key ganglia, Kiev, precisely.
Not to mention the crucial energy resources in the depths of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (gas) on which not a few have set their eyes.
This is not a matter of being insensitive or cynical, but of understanding how things really are without being under too many illusions.
At the end of the day Netanyahu is just doing the dirty work that no one could do, and everyone hoped someone would do, so that eventually he will be taken out of the way for higher needs and with him his entire establishment that has become, like him, unpresentable.
In the end what matters is only business.
“Pecunia non olet,” as the ancient, pragmatic Romans used to say.
