Netanyahu knows that every time a child dies, Hamas gains sympathizers and people willing to join, and yet Israel keeps saying the eradication of Hamas is the only way to secure their nation. This is a forever war.
That's why they're doing the genocide
They don't just gain sympathizers in Gaza. They gain sympathizers globally, especially in ME countries. And the genocide of people in Gaza won't eliminate the Palestinians, anyways. They are a worldwide diaspora now, just like the Jews.
I feel like you skipped a few steps in your conclusion, cause having retyped this comment several times now, it does seem logical (though logically evil and morally corrupt; which nobody's surprised). And I'm not entirely convinced it's just Netanyahu trying to create a "forever war"
I was gonna say that it seems more like "blatant genocide" than a "forever war"... and how can a war be "forever" if one side is obliterated?
But then I thought, "Maybe genocide is just a bonus for Isreal", while also being a 'unique' way to stir-up the concept of "War on terrorism, in the US". Their "War on drugs" has lost some traction (and also serves a different purpose), but maybe they can put a convoluted spin on the "War on Terrorism".
The US is allowing "allies" to commit genocide for the greater good of their own military complex/gain?... because their current "forever wars" have been experiencing downturns? Maybe it is a "forever war" with genocide as a bonus for Isreal?
I can't dispute your statement well, because it doesn't seem too "off key". It just feels like you've made some logical leaps... or I'm just falling into conspiracy-driven-logic. Idk, but I appreciate giving me something to ponder more closely
I would also suggest you read this article about Netanyahu's former best friend and about his using this war as a pretext to cement dictatorial power.

I should have definitely given more context.
