Aljazeera Source Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights that the unfolding events were not driven by instinct or industry foresight, but rather by the daily manufacturing of a case for genocide between October 7 and October 19. He emphasizes the critical turning point on October 12, when within 12 hours, Hamas delivered a significant blow to Israel, causing deep humiliation. Israel, known for its military strength, was shaken not only by the deaths of hundreds of civilians but also by the loss of soldiers and the violation of its military bases and settlements. Bishara suggests that these 12 hours of humiliation were followed by 12 days that would shape the subsequent year, during which Israel and the United States began to build the case for genocide.
