Israel: War as a political weapon
In Israel, war, usually waged on Gaza, can be a means of distraction; a political weapon. And that context is often missing in the news coverage.
Last week Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched air raids on the Gaza Strip, what his government called "a targeted killing" of an Islamic Jihad commander.
However, in political terms, those missiles weren't even aimed at Islamic Jihad.
The real target was Benny Gantz, Netanyahu's political rival.
