The potential consequences for Israel's response to Gaza

Israel's response to Gaza will cause civilian hardships, shocking the world. Gaza depends on outside sources for food and has a high unemployment rate. Israel needs to control Hamas, which may lead to bloodshed. This would harm Israel's biggest asset, the Holocaust narrative, which puts them in the victim role. The Holocaust narrative is more valuable than their economy, military, land, or people. Israel's other assets depend on this narrative. If Israel acts badly towards Gaza, it could tarnish their image and undermine their entire existence.
