So much for Netanyahu's ability to seek peace.

"In a televised press conference on Saturday, Netanyahu called the conflict an “existential war” that must be fought until victory, despite pressure and costs, and said Gaza would be demilitarised and under Israeli security control. So Israel is fighting for it's very existence, and therefore no limits they can implement to take down their enemy.'

"Existential war is a war for existence, not for status, power, territory or resources, but for existence itself – as a nation, as a people, and ultimately as an individual. When human beings fight for those stakes, there are no limits."

Not to mention that in 1978 Israel was attacked Oct 6, or 7, the Yom Kippur War.
