So far, Benjamin Netanyahu has met with Yitzhak Brick on two occasions. Until now, Brick was an obscure reserve general already in years, in November he will turn 76, who has suddenly become perhaps the most media personality in Israel, for whom everyone is fighting to interview him. The prime minister's detractors, who are legion, claim that Netanyahu is afraid of entering Gaza and is using Brick to protect himself from those who reproach him for three weeks later having still not sent his ground army to the Gaza Strip.

Many wonder what exactly Israel is after in this war and how far it is willing to go. There may be no single definitive answer, and Benjamin Netanyahu may seek several things at the same time, including the expulsion of a considerable part of the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip, which until now numbered 2,3 million. .

The confusion is general and does not exclude the Hebrew media, where these days everything has been read when it comes to interpreting Netanyahu's threat to change today's Middle East for a different one, a threat he launched on the second day of the war, that is, October 8, without being more explicit, although other politicians around him have reiterated it in the same vague terms.

Behind all this is Israeli arrogance. The idea that we can do whatever we want and we will never pay for it or be punished. We will continue undisturbed.

We will arrest, kill, harass, dispossess and protect the settlers engaged in their pogroms. We will visit the Tomb of Joseph, the Tomb of Othniel and the Altar of Joshua in the Palestinian territories and, of course, the Temple Mount: more than 5.000 Jews on Sukkot alone.

We will shoot innocent people, gouge out their eyes and smash their faces, expel them, confiscate them, rob them, tear people out of their beds, carry out ethnic cleansing and, of course, continue the incredible siege of the Gaza Strip , and we will assume that everything will be fine.

The Israeli leaders boast of having an exceptional intelligence service and so it is, an intelligence service that knows up to the minute what is cooking in the most secret offices in Tehran, that is capable of entering an Iranian nuclear power plant and removing dozens of binders with detailed plans for the nuclear development program, or that he is capable of assassinating nuclear scientists in the heart of that country.

Well, that same Mossad, so pampered by its bosses, has not been able to smell what Hamas was preparing for months with the assistance and apparent approval of the authorities of the Islamic Republic, Israel's greatest enemy.
