the fact is, israel now definitely realises that no one believes its bullshit anymore, especially seeing the mass movement and huge shift in narrative in response to its ongoing war against Gaza. this tells israel that the mask is now completely off and the masses no longer believe its claims of being the victim and whatever the hell else.
this explains why the scale of violence has been so overwhelming in recent weeks, considering there is nothing for israel to justify anymore and no pretences to keep up for those who used to fall for them.
there is also the sense of embarrassment; a whole military apparatus with billions in annual aid still could not break a besieged, starved enclave (it never will). we have been hearing about ground invasion this, ground invasion that and we have yet to see anything tangible.
again, the public for the most part has now seen who israel really is; a genocidal, terrorist state, and israel knows there's no turning back from this so it ramped up the violence to cause as much damage as possible before it is forced to halt its current acceleration of the ongoing genocide.
U.S. officials are literally telling israel to "pause" so that people can ease up a little and be lulled back into complacency. always remember this and let's keep doing what we're doing because the tides have really turned.

120,000 armenians are currently being driven from nagorno-karabakh, which they've called home for over 2,000 years, by azerbaijan. they are going to armenia, a small, poor country without international backing. please donate to the armenian food bank, a non-profit operating in yerevan that is providing incoming displaced persons with food, clothes, and hygienic goods. i personally know people involved and i can tell you that your money will be put to good use
