I don't think that's going to happen. Israel gets it's "mystique" from the fact it is surrounded by enemies and any strategic mistake can mean it's destruction. Also sure, this horrible mass murder and genocide they are committing is just beyond savage and utterly inexcusable, but I don't think any serious journalist could say they were not capable of it before the hamas attack. They have literally been doing it for more than half a century. This will not be their downfall, this is what they are and always have been.
Israel has been claiming they have "The world's most moral army" for decades and westerners just eat that up. What's happening in Gaza is nothing new, western media is just no longer able to control the narrative anymore.
Nobody in their right mind thought Israel was moral in any way for the past 60 years.
