While the present invasion of Gaza by Israel in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (October 2023) is still ongoing, I want to alter our attention and ask whether Israel in its present form can survive this latest atrocity in Gaza. Israel’s war against Hamas appears to be the final attempt to eradicate Palestinians from the land first conquered by the British in 1917 following the World War I (WWI), and subsequently settled in 1948 by people of Jewish descent, , fleeing from the German holocaust (1941-1945).
