There is no need to emphasize that the “Al-Aqsa Flood” struck the criminal Zionist entity severely and inflicted heavy losses on it on various fronts. The events of this war, with all its dimensions and severe negative repercussions on the Zionist entity, have been receiving extensive around-the-clock coverage. However, the psychological and social aspects—specifically the intense psychological shock that struck the Israelis and the deep cracks that have fatally damaged the structure of their society—have not received the appropriate attention to their immense importance and danger in this context. Thus, this article, based on the Israeli press itself, will analyze and connect these factors, drawing conclusions from them.
1- The Disintegration of “Israeli” Society:
The “Al-Aqsa Flood” was a violent earthquake that shook the organic structure of Israeli society, leading to its crack and fracture from within placing it in a state of confusion and contradiction. This reality is clearly reflected in the writings, which are in fact loud cries, expressed by major Israeli writers, analysts, and well-known figures over recent months in Israeli newspapers and online platforms. They expressed this dire situation, warning of its serious existential consequences in the near future. Here are some examples:
- Under the headline “As Israel Continues Its Collapse, Netanyahu Continues Selling Vile Lies to the Public,” Reserve General Itzhak Brik wrote: “The burning hatred inside Israel, which deepens as the war continues between the right and the left, between the religious and the secular, and between Arabs and Jews, is undermining the state from within.” (Maariv, 25/7/2024).
- Ben Caspit, one of the most prominent analysts at Maariv, wrote in its issue dated 30/7/2024: “Israel is not on the edge of chaos, it is already in chaos. The video clips showing dozens or hundreds of citizens attempting to tear down the gates of military bases while regular soldiers stand on the other side, embarrassed and trying to stop them, are a symbol of our disintegration... The angel of destruction is just one step away from completing his mission—the final and complete destruction of the Zionist dream.”
The “Al-Aqsa Flood” shook the organic structure of “Israeli” society cracking its building blocks.
The situation even reached the point where symbolic posters with significant meanings were hung in the squares of “Tel Aviv,” as reported by Fox News. These posters carried a warning message to the “Israeli” society, saying, with a picture of the heroic leader Yahya Sinwar: “Think carefully who benefits from our division.”
2- The Dominance of Fear and Declining Morale:
One of the most significant losses inflicted by our mujahideen in Gaza upon the Israelis was planting fear in their hearts and subjecting them to a state of panic and terror. This fear was evident on their faces, reflected in their conversations and their confusion. More importantly and dangerously, this state of terror has gripped the souls of thousands of their soldiers and officers. It is enough to read what Dr. Eitan Haiam, former Director General of the Ministry of Health, wrote: “Nearly ten months after the outbreak of the ‘Iron Swords War,’ data from health and security agencies indicate that approximately 10,000 soldiers in active service and reserves have suffered psychological trauma from the current war and have sought psychological help.”
He adds: “It is expected that Israel, by the end of the war and beyond, will face between one and a half to two million people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the problem is that we may not know about many of them at all.” (Maariv, 5/8/2024).
Furthermore, their youth and children have been exposed to psychological trauma of no less severity, which has occupied the attention of their frightened and fractured public opinion. Its echoes have resonated in the pages of their newspapers. In fact, the panic and sense of disorientation that has affected civilians have driven a significant percentage of them to resort to the use and addiction of drugs and sedatives. The percentage of addicts to these substances has significantly increased after the horrors of the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The complete and eternal end of the Zionist entity must be preceded by radical developments on the global stage.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported on this issue, stating: “Drug consumption and addictive behavior in Israel have sharply increased after the unprecedented attack launched by Hamas on October 7, according to healthcare workers. Psychiatrist Shaul Lev-Ran, founder of the Israel Center on Addiction, said that 'as a natural reaction to emotional stress and as a search for relief, we’ve seen a spectacular rise in the consumption of various addictive sedative substances, whether they are prescription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior like gambling.'” (AFP, 11/8/2024).
3- Reverse Migration and the Collapse of the Image of a Safe Haven:
As a natural consequence of the miserable general conditions within the usurping entity, and due to the nature of its formation as an artificial, imaginary homeland to which its people have no loyalty or belonging except insofar as it serves their changing worldly material interests, in a strange and unique relationship between the two parties, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” has led to the emergence of reverse migration—from inside the entity to outside. This has been notably covered by their media.
On June 23, Tani Goldstein wrote on the “Zman Yisrael” website: “In recent months, the media has published numerous interviews with Jewish and Arab citizens who stated that they had decided to leave the country; among them were displaced people from the Gaza envelope and the northern borders.”
In the same context, Israeli writer B. Michael penned an article in which he imagined visiting Herzl's grave, only to find that he had dug a tunnel and escaped back to his original grave in Vienna, from which he was transferred to Jerusalem 75 years ago. They then engaged in a long conversation in which Michael described Israel’s current situation in Herzl's words as: “"A trash bin of racism, nationalism, militarism, hatred, religious fanaticism, misogyny, paganism, cruelty, tyranny, and corruption. Rabbis in the barracks and generals in the temples.” (Haaretz, 14/8/2024).
All these events and indicators show us the extent of the disintegration, contradiction, and confusion within Israeli society, and to what extent fear has filled the hearts of Israelis and terror has gripped their souls. These two factors, along with their human losses, represent the most significant and dangerous losses for this occupying entity in the current war. In fact, the significance of their enormous losses in these three dimensions and their impending disastrous consequences soon outweighs the material and military losses they have incurred.
This is just the beginning of the end for this criminal entity. However, and to put events into perspective, we must understand that the complete and eternal end of this entity must be preceded by radical developments on the global stage that will upend the positions of its major backers and remove their footholds from their domineering, entrenched positions. This must also be preceded by positive developments in the overall situation of the Islamic world, particularly regarding the directions, positions, and conditions of the Arab nations.
