Ritter is a bit of a loose cannon, but I do remember he stuck his neck out to shatter the Iraq "weapons of mass destruction" lies. I do admire him for that.
As for this article, his BRICS stuff is clearly bollocks, but he is not wrong that Israel does face an existential threat as a result of Oct 7 2023. If war does spread, people living in Israel who have an escape route will consider it - Israel as the only safe haven for Jews will have proven a myth. It isn't about Hamas, or the resistance more broadly, being able to "win a war", but rather whether or not the Palestinian will and capacity to resist outlasts Zionism's determination to continue the genocide. That question is not one we can answer but Ritter is not the only, nor by far the most credible, person asking it (apologies if this has already been posted here): https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/10/7/israel-after-october-7-between-decolonisation-and-disintegration Comradely, John On Fri, Oct 11, 2024 at 9:02 AM Steven L.
