And what, pray tell, is “total victory”?

You know… Total as in “Final” and victory as in “Solution”. It’s more polite than saying genocide.

It’s when you win the total war.

Gaza’s army, navy and air force have all been defeated. I guess the rest is winning over the locals’ hearts and minds now, right?

I don’t think my sarcasm shone through to you. The term was used by Goebbels in a 1943 speech inspiring the German people for war until extermination.
