"Low level"... Yeah no.
Low level as in murdering a dozen people there, evicting and bulldozing a bunch of houses over there, that sort of thing, as opposed to like, rolling tanks into the middle of Gaza and opening fire, dropping bombs on them, or like what they're planning on doing now where they've ordered them to evacuate in 24 hours before they presumably march in and most likely just start murdering people. Israel tends to keep up a constant low level attack. It's not one big thing, but thousands of small offenses happening nearly constantly. Hamas on the other hand tends to do less, but what they do is bigger. Bombs that kill or injure hundreds, launching indiscriminate rockets into Israel, that sort of thing.
For better or worse, Hamas attack is exactly what Netanyahu wanted. It's an excuse for Israel to escalate things even further. In many ways Hamas played right into his hands. To be clear, they were absolutely provoked into it, but there's still an inbalance of power at play. Now Netanyahu is going to use that attack to justify even more atrocities, and there's not much Palestine or Hamas can really do about it. It will get very ugly over there before too much longer and both Palestinians and Israelis are going to suffer, but I fear the Palestinians are going to suffer a lot more before this is over. There's a distinct possibility that this is going to result in Israel completely occupying Palestine and them effectively ceasing to exist as an independent state.
"low profile" I think would have been better phrasing
Oh that makes sense.
Less flashy, low profile
Thanks for pushing back against this neutralizing narrative.
