Are we living in the inferno?

 YOU MIGHT think it would be impossible for the inferno in Israel and Gaza to burn hotter. Yet Binyamin Netanyahu is fuelling three simultaneous emergencies: a humanitarian one in Gaza; a torching of support among European allies; and a constitutional crisis over who controls the security services, army and courts. The pressure on Israel and its institutions is almost unbearable for the country. A culminating moment is probably imminent. 

Quote from The Economist. I respect The Economist's journalists. But living here, I don't see what they see. Should I believe The Economist, or my shortsighted eyes?

P.D.: Only a month ago, The Economist thought Israel was full of hubris, victorious and expanding.
