You're not wrong, but Netanyahu's actions made it worse.

There's a reason why it's in a country's best interests to obey international laws and standards, because not doing so increases the likelihood of your citizens and your diaspora facing

We saw this with Americans in the middle east during and after the second gulf war, we saw it with the Japanese expats during WWII, and we're seeing it with Jews outside of Israel now: in every case, jingoism in an origin country--and the abuses that inevitablt follow--resulted in soldiers, expats and travellers being abused abroad.

The parallels between Israel after 10/6 and America after 9/11 are depressing: both countries suffered an attack that, by all rights, should have garnered them moral, economic and judicial support world-wide, and both countries' leaders pissed away that advantage because their leaders were opportunists who used a crisis for personal gain, and the results trashed their reputation and put their citizens at even more risk.
