A harsh argument that Netanyahu's political survival and the Gaza war reflect Israeli society as a whole, not just its leaders — bad news for Israel's standing abroad.

• Netanyahu keeps winning elections despite corruption allegations because voters see themselves in him and don't care about the charges.
• Israel's citizen army is normally a strength, but it means the whole nation shares responsibility if that army commits genocide.
• The comparison drawn is to Vietnam: ordinary Americans couldn't disown the soldiers doing the killing, and Israelis can't either.
• The conclusion is a blanket moral indictment of Israel as a nation, not just its government.

Outlook: Expect this kind of rhetoric to spread further into mainstream Western media, deepening the split over Israel and hardening opposition to US support.
