What will happen is what we’re already witnessing.
Israel is carrying out reprisal attacks and collectively punishing Palestinians by destroying residential buildings and civilian infrastructure
As usual, and has been the case for longer than I have been alive, they will make sure to kill and maim far more Palestinians than Hamas could dream of doing to Israel.
Most of the media and various commentators will act like Palestinians are irrational savages who just wake up and decide to attack Israel for no reason and with no prior history.
On the other hand, Israel will be talked about as if it has been under siege from bloodthirsty Arabs and Jew-hating Muslims since its inception, and this is just another episode where it has to “defend itself” and retaliate appropriately with the predictable full moral support of our Western liberal political establishment.
After a few weeks of violence, it’ll subside and we’ll be back to the status quo of Israel ritually humiliating, brutalising, dispossessing, harassing and killing Palestinians with impunity, and with most of our media ignoring it or rationalising it. Until the next time Israel decides to “mow the lawn” or goads Hamas into an attack followed by its own massively disproportionate response.
This will go on indefinitely, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
