Studios see war as a \u201chistoric event.\u201d But the war from the bunkers isn&#8217;t so glorious\u2014it\u2019s disturbing, it spoils the narrative of achievements, and it reminds us of the hostages. At first, we pity their victims, then we ignore them, and in the end, we get angry at them. Why are you dying like this? Is this Gaza?

The hostages can\u2019t protest his words, nor can the soldiers in the bunkers\u2014because the hostages and the dead are Netanyahu\u2019s dirtiest remaining card, a thorn in the side of the so-called \u201chistoric events.\u201d No one represents them in the studios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"1029\" data-end=\"1911\">They\u2019re exhausted from sleepless nights, worried about earning a living, and they have no tales of heroism. They die when a wall falls on them. In the studios, there is joy; in the bunkers, panic. In the studios, euphoria; in Petah Tikva, rage. This is not their war. The war in Gaza is not their war. Behind it are the same rejected motives and the same lies. But now, <em data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1793\">we<\/em> are the victims.

Wait\u2014that\u2019s another idea! Hang on\u2014soon, we\u2019ll be neck-deep in urine, and then we\u2019ll send five brigades to liberate Mordechai\u2019s tomb.
