"The Information War: Israel's Defeat and the Future of Western Democracy"

An opinion piece argues that Israel has suffered a total defeat in the recent conflict, stating that the war's objectives will not be achieved, hostages will not be returned through military pressure, security will not be restored, and international ostracism will not end. The author emphasizes the need to acknowledge this reality and its implications for the future, criticizing the tendency to deny the defeat and calling for a more honest assessment of the situation.
