Zionist entity appears to be on verge of collapse
The Zionist entity appears to be on the brink of collapse. After a yearlong campaign of genocide in Gaza, Israel's economy is in tatters, and its stated mission to destroy Hamas has failed.
Before the seventh of October 2023 and the launch of Al Aqsa flood by the forces of the Palestinian resistance, things looked very different.
After a year of pursuing the alleged objective of defeating Hamas, what does the administration of the colony have to show for itself?
First of all, the economy is in crisis.
The IMF had estimated Israel's GDP at $564 billion and the GDP per capita at $58,270 in 2023, the 13th highest in the world, a figure comparable to highly-developed countries.
However, in the last quarter of 2023, according to figures from the regime's Central Bureau of Statistics, it had contracted by 19.4%.
The construction sector, for example, slowed down by nearly a third in the first two months of the war. And agriculture has taken a hit too, with production down by a quarter in some areas.
It is estimated that up to 60,000 Israeli companies may have to close in 2024 due to staff shortages, supply chain disruptions and waning business confidence.
The Port of Eilat in the south of the Zionist occupation entity declared bankruptcy in July due to an 85% drop in activity as a direct result of the Ansarullah blockade on Red Sea shipping.
If the Northern Front is opened with Hezbollah, all of Israel's ports will be inoperative, notably Haifa. The one exception is Ashdod in the center of the colony, though it is easily reachable by missiles from Lebanon and Yemen.
The normalization of the Zionist entity with its neighbors has been thrown into reverse. By December, it was being said that the normalization was now in a reset situation. And in September this year, 2024, even the de facto ruler of the Saudi regime, Mohammed bin Salman, stated that the kingdom will not establish ties with Israel until a Palestinian state has been created.
The deal brokered by China between Saudi Arabia and Iran also pulled the Saudi kingdom out of Yemen, allowing Ansarullah to launch its stunningly successful blockade on the Red Sea.
Perhaps most notable, the image of the regime and its military as sophisticated military strategists has been thoroughly undermined by the launch of al-Aqsa Flood itself, and by the evident fact that, after a year, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza is not defeated.
On June 19, the spokesperson for the Israel Occupation Forces, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, told channel 13 news eradicating Hamas was an unattainable goal.
"This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear, it simply throws sand in the eyes of the public.
Anyone who thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong".

After a year of genocide, Zionism faces defeat.
Changing attitudes towards Zionist entity and growing extremism in Israeli society
Zionism faces defeat in every sphere. The most visible and tangible change in the West has been the erosion of support for the declining entity.
This has manifested, first of all, in a significant polarization whereby the global public has become more pro-Palestinian and more vocal about it. But equally, there is a small counter-tendency of Zionists to become even more extreme in their glorification of the killing of women and children.

Jews in Israel have become increasingly genocidal, with only 19% even willing to say that the Zionist genocide has gone too far.
In Gaza and the West Bank, support for Hamas has increased, while the Palestinian Authority has become even less popular.
Public opinion in the US, UK and the world has shifted towards the Palestinians.
We can see the shift also in the way in which the credibility of key Zionist arguments have collapsed; the so-called right of Israel to self-defense has been pummeled, especially by figures such as the UN Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese.
The idea that Israel has a right to exist, or that it should exist, has also come under attack. A UK opinion poll recently showed that a striking 54% of 18 to 24 year-olds agreed with the statement that "Israel should not exist". Just 21% disagreed.
It is noteworthy that the power of the main weapon of choice used by the Zionists is dissipating. The charge of anti-Semitism has less force and is now openly mocked.
It's clear that the Zionists are attempting to minimize the effects of the genocide by trying to undermine official Palestinian figures for deaths and injuries. It is also routinely suggested that the occupation forces are minimizing their own casualty numbers.
One of the key things that is now different is that the credibility of the regime and Zionism have been badly damaged, mostly through self-realization across the world that Hasbro Israeli propaganda is not truthful.
More damaging than that, however, is the wanton cruelty and brutality of the genocide, and especially, its glorification as shown by so many.
Israel stands revealed as a deeply sick, indeed, terminally ill, society. Zionism, the whole world over, is similarly tainted.
Beheaded babies, 1200 civilian casualties, rapes, all were found to be unfounded fabrications. But worse than that, they were only a fraction of the brutality carried out with joy and quivering excitement by the occupation forces.
It has been startling to so many to see their cheerleaders among the Zionist population of the US and UK joining in.
Zionism is more reviled now than it has ever been. Its end cannot come soon enough.
