oatmeal<p>The Disintegration of Netanyahu's Project — The State No Longer Exists</p><p>Qutoing Yoana Gonen on how Israel failed its citizens and operates without moral restraint:</p><p>"[...] The government has completely disengaged from any responsibility towards its citizens, and the abandonment has not only continued – it has been expanded, doubled, and normalized. There is no contract, but rather a violent relationship between a rotten government and exhausted citizens. Not only was there no recovery – even shame barely registered.</p><p>Gonen, argues that the Israeli government, under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netanyahu</span></a>, has fundamentally abandoned its responsibility to its citizens, effectively dismantling the social contract that underpins a democratic state. She contends that recent events—specifically, the U.S.-led release of captive soldier Idan Alexander and the revelation of the circumstances surrounding the death of Tom Godo [*] on October 7th—demonstrate a pattern of neglect, disregard for human life, and a prioritization of political goals over the well-being of Israeli citizens. She concludes that Israel is no longer a state that protects and serves its people, but rather a system where the government operates with impunity and citizens are left vulnerable.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-05-13/ty-article-opinion/.highlight/00000196-c52f-d1bb-a5d6-c7ff24d60000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-05</span><span class="invisible">-13/ty-article-opinion/.highlight/00000196-c52f-d1bb-a5d6-c7ff24d60000</span></a></p><p>[*] Channel 13 revealed on Sunday that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IDF</span></a> killed an Israeli civilian, Tom Godo, on 8 October 2023 while he was hiding in the safe room of his home with his wife and three daughters and covered up the incident. </p><p><a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-forces-killed-israeli-civilian-covered" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">middleeasteye.net/news/israeli</span><span class="invisible">-forces-killed-israeli-civilian-covered</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenocide</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HannibalDirective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HannibalDirective</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OatmealQuotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OatmealQuotes</span></a></p>
