BEN CASPIT is a political commentator who has a daily radio show, regular spots on TV and columns in several Israeli papers and who distinguishes himself in his latest offering on last week’s Great Return March in Gaza by portraying the scale of bloodshed as a triumph for Israeli moderation.
He contributes a piece to Al-Monitor’s Israel Pulse, laying bare what he calls “Israel's Gaza nightmare,” where a mass breach of the border fence could oblige tanks and helicopters of the Israeli Defence Forces to open fire on marching civilians.
“Picture the outcome if they would have burst through the fence, even at a single point, and begun marching into Israel. It would have ended in a bloodbath,” Caspit quotes a senior Israeli military official as saying.
