"Children of light vs. children of darkness"

PM Netanyahu's office, October 2023, in a since-deleted post framing the war in these terms.

What it signals

Cosmic dualism removes the conflict from law and politics entirely — against 'darkness' there is no proportionality, no civilians, no negotiated end; there is only eradication of the dark.

How to answer

Quote it with its deletion: even the office that posted it understood it couldn't stand. Ask what military doctrine follows from fighting 'darkness' rather than an enemy with civilians around it.
