Quoting Gideon Levy on how Trump's approval could push Israel towards full-blown genocide in Gaza

[...] And what if U.S. President Donald Trump suggested setting up death camps for the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip? What would happen then? Israel would respond exactly as it did to his transfer ideas, with ecstasy on the right and indifference in the centrist camp.

Gideon Levy argues that Trump is enabling Israel's most destructive impulses regarding Gaza. Levy uses a hypothetical scenario of Trump suggesting "death camps" to illustrate how Israeli politicians might react, suggesting widespread support or indifference. He suggests that Trump's approval of continued attacks and setting "impossible terms" for Hamas is pushing Israel down a dangerous path. Levy warns that the resumption of the "war" could lead to genocide, especially with the potential halting of humanitarian aid. He expresses concern that Israeli society is largely supportive of, or indifferent to, these actions, and that Trump is acting as an "ethical oracle" that could destroy Israel's morality.
