Nothing seems capable of curbing the madness of a man who has turned bloodshed into state policy. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has surrounded himself with the most extreme Cabinet in Israel’s history — a coalition of ultranationalists, messianic zealots and settler ideologues who treat Palestinian existence as an obstacle to be removed. Together, they have transformed the war on Gaza into a campaign of extermination masked as “self-defense.”

Sometimes Netanyahu destroys hospitals, sometimes his war machine flattens shelters, sometimes he starves families by targeting aid convoys. Now, after killing tens of thousands and turning entire neighborhoods into rubble, he is threatening to unleash his warplanes on Gaza’s remaining high-rise buildings, wiping away the last fragments of a besieged society. His message to the people of Gaza is clear: nothing remains for you here; your existence itself is intolerable.

To understand this campaign, one must understand the ideology of Netanyahu’s coalition. Figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich do not merely tolerate Palestinian suffering, they openly call for expulsion and annexation. Their rhetoric is genocidal, their agenda nakedly colonial. They dream of a “Greater Israel” purged of Palestinians and Gaza is their testing ground.
