The parallels are clear, but you could make them to any war. States posing as democracies always require a cassus Belli to convince their citizens to killl and be killed.

All too often it turns out that Cassus Belli was a lie (USS Maine, Burning of the Reichstag, Gulf of Tonkin).

It seems we require a victimhood narrative so we can release ultimate destruction.

This victim narrative, Israel has in spades. It is deeply rooted in the psyche.

I predict that nothing other than a societal collapse will stop their headlong rush into ethnic cleansing.

They will not ‘come around’. And I don’t expect any future US or European leaders to apply much pressure.

It’s going to be an ugly tragic horrifying end, one which I expect will be studied for centuries.
