Benjamin Netanyahu is a prime minister seemingly focused primarily on remaining in power; a PM who allows a large segment of the population to avoid military service in order to maintain his government coalition; a PM who opposes a badly needed state commission of inquiry into the causes of the October 7 atrocities because he might somehow be implicated; a PM who many fear is not sufficiently attentive to our hostages’ plight; a PM who mouths the platitude of “total victory” in Gaza yet gives no indication that he has any plan for “the day after.” Regarding “‘The pains of peace are preferable to the pains of war’” (May 11): Apparently, the organizers of the People’s Peace Summit are totally ignorant of what transpired on October 7, 2023. However, the bottom line is that without such a revolution, we are likely to continue eternal war, with the loss of many of our best young people, the loss of many Palestinians, continued and possibly increased diplomatic criticism and isolation, and continued and possibly increased antisemitism.
