R. Mute posted:from the graun article on the protests: yeah, one up-and-coming anti-protest tactic in the IDF over the past few years is to identify people they think are protest leaders or otherwise influential, and then have a sniper shoot them in the legs with live ammo in the middle of the protest. it's gotten very little play in the Western media, though i imagine the tank shell was probably an intimidation tactic in hopes that they could blunt the expected wave of protests that day. by using overwhelming force against some poor random farmer early enough to make the morning news, they hoped to discourage people from going to the protests by flaunting their willingness to use ruthless and brutal tactics against unarmed civilians for no reason

They use overwhelming force on one or two people to stoke these protests, and then exploit their overwhelming bias in Western media to make it look like the uppity Gazans are at it again, and Hamas is just stirring up trouble. It's part of a long term strategy to manage the conflict by riling people up and then putting as heavy a price on resistance as possible.

There were a few times when it looked like staged stuff was happening but other times... uhh... not. So I'm here sitting next to this guy watching Palestinian kids get shot, and any time one of them got hit he'd start going HAHAHAHA and anyways it was really disturbing!

What was so important about the tire? I'm sure that it was some sort of tire bomb and the kid was actually a 45-year old Hamas operative known as "Baby Devourer" but seriously why were those guys braving gunfire for what looks like an old tire?

# ? Mar 31, 2018 13:46 |

Sometimes seemingly useless stuff ends up carrying extreme symbolic weight, and while to any outside observer the tire seems weird I'm sure to them it meant a lot. Anyway, I thought it was odd that the media couldn't avoid the fact that this was a completely one-sided massacre, so I'm sure the way it'll play out in the next few days is that it'll be mostly ignored then completely forgotten when a retaliatory attack happens.

The pro-Israeli FB group take as reported to me by my parents is that they deserved it for trying to cross the border. A highly nuanced take, to be sure.

i dunno if it was just over here in the UK but during the last "mowing the lawn" episode all the papers had just blatant adverts for Iron Dome where I guess the IDF had given them loads of technical specs with the aim of selling it and the guardian etc just reprinted it as news because they're craven morons?
