Gaza at a Stage When the World Is About to Get Tired

What is happening in Gaza today is no longer like wars that end in victory or defeat.

Gaza has entered a stage where the goal is not to end resistance, but to normalize suffering; a stage where the killing of children, the destruction of homes, and the starvation of people must be repeated until they are no longer “news.”

At this stage, the bombs are not just dropping to destroy buildings;

they are dropping to erode global memory.

There is no ceasefire to build hope,

no full-scale war to clarify the issue;

only sustained, calculated, and exhausting pressure

until the world tires, looks back, and says, “This is how it’s always been.”

In my view, Israel today in Gaza is not looking to “win”;

it is looking to stall for time.

Because:

Military victory did not bring legitimacy

Complete repression was not possible

And the official narrative has cracked

So the temporary solution is:

Neither end it, nor retreat;

Just continue until the pain becomes normal.

But the problem is that erosion is always two-way.

As bodies in Gaza get tired,

The legitimacy of the occupation in the world is also eroding.

And perhaps this is why:

They are afraid of the reporter

Of the simple image of a mobile phone

From the narrative of the mothers of Gaza

Because at this stage,

The most dangerous weapon is the repeated truth, not the rocket.

Gaza today is not a battlefield of armies;

It is a battlefield of people’s patience with imposed time.

And the main question is not: “Who is stronger?”

But it is:

“Who gets tired sooner: the people under the rubble or the conscience that watches from afar?”
