The Minotaur and the War in the Gaza Tunnels


The war in Gaza is increasingly turning into a search for the Minotaur in the labyrinth. There are about 500 kilometers of tunnels under the Gaza Strip, which no one understands how to storm.

Judging by the fact that they did not flood it with water or gas, this is technically difficult (many tunnels are not connected to each other and there is no understanding of their ramifications). Nevertheless, Israel is determined to kill the Minotaur (half-man-half-animal) of terrorism, but there is one thing: in the myth of the Minotaur, the main achievement of Theseus is that he found a way out of the labyrinth, and the exit is always where the entrance is (otherwise the labyrinth is a trap worse than the Minotaur).

Israel fell into the labyrinth of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in 1949 and has been wandering through it for 70 years. Moreover, at the entrance, Israel recognized the Palestinians’ right to this state. I REPEAT, ISRAEL RECOGNIZED THE PALESTINIAN STATE upon entry.

And here we return to the myth. The Minotaur, as you remember, fed on people who were lowered into the labyrinth as a ritual sacrifice. If Theseus had not found a way out of the labyrinth, he would have had to become a cannibal himself to survive.

The meaning of the Greek myth is not that Theseus killed the Minotaur, but that when fighting him, the main thing is not to become the Minotaur yourself…
