“Pure joy in the air” is how an Israeli journalist describes the mood in Israel right now.

But how could that be?

If the Israelis want, above all, genocide and ethnic cleansing, then why would they celebrate a deal that ends the war with no ethnic cleansing and 97% of the Gazans alive?

“Pure joy” is not what you feel when your deepest ambitions have just been thwarted.

It’s almost as if the goal of the war really was to get the hostages back and oust Hamas.

It’s almost as if Israelis are motivated by a deep, dark desire to…live in peace with their neighbors.
