Has Israel ever said anything like this before as a bluff? Or maybe they'll talk big then go in and just declare victory after a few days? They can't be serious about doing this.

That's seems unlikely. Why would they joke about that? They don't care about Palestinians but the issue is the region wide war it may start. It doesn't seem like a smart move.

That's what I was curious about thanks. Obviously I know that Israel can't keep concentrating them tighter and tighter every year forever. One of these days Israel will actually push them all into the sea in a mass genocide. It just feels different this time, like this may be it .

He also said we can back two separate wars and defended it with something like "we're the United States, come on" when anyone paying attention knows both Israel and US dug into their armor lies for Ukraine, then had to start giving Ukraine old unused cluster munitions instead, then complained how Russia was out producing them 7 to 1 on artillery.

He's just doing statesman poo poo. Behind the scenes, the US probably can't back a war past a certain point and the state department is making GBS threads themselves over this spiraling into a regional thing that will overwhelm our capacity

It second up before I. The U/R thread and of course the US will lose WWIII thread, but I think the US doesn't have quite the war fighting capability we pretend to thanks to neoliberal rot and grift

The people in charge have swallowed their own propaganda. I wonder if Israel bothered to consult with the US before starting this operation, or if they just assumed Uncle Sam could easily keep them topped off on missiles and artillery.

We were all raised in the soup of propaganda that constantly bombards us. If you have a friend or family member that supports Israel at this point they either want to be lied to or they are remarkably stupid. I know it's hard to dump a friend but you don't want to be around that kinda lunatic.

Some of you seem to be suffering from the "is - ought" problem. FF explaining exactly how Israel is lying about the bombing isn't the same as him trying to prove they are lying. Discussing the details of how Israeli propaganda works isn't the same as trying to prove it's propaganda. Everyone here knows Israel bombed the hospital and that they also have no intention of actually letting aid thru. We might as well examine the details of how the horrible machine works because there isn't really much else to do.

So what's the smart move for Hezbollah then? If they wait it's looking like the Americans may withdraw support and force a cease fire. If they fully declare war that might bring America back in and garner worldwide support for Israel. An actual cease fire would immediately stop the bombing and maybe they can get some supplies into Gaza. On the other hand Israel will regroup and try again down the road, now may be the best time to force some kind of a change.

The post appears to be about non Jewish Russians and South Africans who go to Israel and try to convert so they can go be settlers and steal Palestinian land. Jokes on them however, because when they die the Israeli state is saying they're not really Jews and can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery. I may be misunderstanding but I don't see what was wrong with that post.

" I guess they really couldn't believe that Hamas had been building their own network.

100%. Supremacists of any stripe are terrible at threat assessment, because they regard everyone else as inferior. Of course Hamas couldn't create their own complexes. Therefore, logically, they are using the ones Israel built and left behind.

I mean of course taking out hospitals is part of the ethnic cleaning plan, but Israel seems to have also bought it's own propaganda about a Hamas command center there, which Is wild.

Part of me has a feeling that the "strategic withdrawal" in Gaza is so that they can shore up defences in the north against Lebanon cause you can't say you are stepping down operations then drone strike a Hezbollah leader. They will also probably step up air strikes again in Gaza while antagonizing Lebanon.

This seems right. Stop offensive operations in Gaza and use the manpower to protect the north.

It's still so incredibly arrogant, like Israel can just say "welp we're done now". I wonder if Hamas has any appetite to raid Israel proper again.

If we're still having this discussion, fascism, by definition of what it is, co-opts and steals from other movements. It insinuates itself into a society. Nazi fascism looks a certain way because, as phillipachtel said, it was a perversion of communism. Modern American and Israeli fascism is a little different, because the "host" that the fascist ideology is invading is different. Exactly how the differences between early 19th century European empires and the modern American empire has influenced the differences between Nazis and modern America or Israel would have to be answered by someone more informed

This temporary port is some real sicko poo poo. Everyone would be right to distrust this, so when it gets attacked the US can claim the moral high ground and have an excuse to engage Hamas directly.

Even if this is really intended to deliver aid, it's grotesque for the US to pat itself on the back for feeding the people that they're helping genocide.

Oh I just saw about the gas field. Of course. We gotta pump that out before our vassal self destructs.

loved the neo-FF text dump but the only thing i can’t shake is that whereas protest did seem to move the needle with the german nazis, there are lots of protests going on with the hostage families right now in israel and that’s not seeming to change anything, if anything they targeted the hostages even more

It could be the situations are too different to compare because of differences in the sources of legitimacy. The Nazis were ultimately beholden to the German people and had no outside sources of support. The Israeli govt is split between being beholden to it's people as well as the US, and more importantly gets massive support from the US. With such incredible outside support, Israel may be able to keep going even in defiance of it's own people, at least until the civil war starts.

I may be completely wrong tho. Going back to that long post, which I would summarize as "even a dictatorship can only operate with the consent of the governed" , I think that despite the protests there must be many more Israelis who just don't give a drat about the hostages.
