I get that Oren is a dumb hack but how exactly are they going to "evict" Hamas?

As we've heard over and over, Israel has the most elite badass technically advanced super cool lethal awesome army ever. What exactly are they waiting for?

iirc Lieberman was getting mad at Bibi for not being "tough" enough on Gaza but didn't really have anything to propose. Nukes? Sarin gas?

Despite being an existential threat to Israel, dealing with Hamas will have to wait until after the TV pop music contest.

quote:

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a legal challenge to the military’s rules on when soldiers can fire their weapons amid weeks of violent protests that have killed dozens of Palestinians on the border with Gaza.

Six human rights groups had asked the court to declare as unlawful any regulations that allow soldiers to open fire at unarmed civilians.

But in its unanimous ruling, the court sided with the Israeli military, which argued that the protests were taking place in the context of a long-running armed conflict with the Islamic militant group Hamas which rules Gaza and that weapons-use regulations are subject to the rules of armed conflict.

I’ve heard this poo poo for years. whataboutism is the #1 hasbara tactic. why do people care about Palestine when China/Syria/Russia/etc is doing 10x as bad!!

of course, they never acknowledge that it goes both ways. you want Israel to stop getting bad press? fine. but if it’s just an insignificant little blob the size of Rhode Island, it doesn’t get state visits from the President, doesn’t get billions in military aid, doesn’t get everyone talking about how it’s a StartUpNation, doesn’t get Maxim photoshoots with the Hottest IDF girls, etc.

basically, they want all the perks and prestige of sitting at the cool kids table (Eurovision!) but they also want to fall back on “we’re in a tough neighborhood, okay?” whenever it’s convenient

Frog Act
Feb 10, 2012



the whole "startup nation" schtick really is the most modern way to paper over an ongoing genocide. like, in the early 20th century, pogroms and the holocaust were built on a foundation of Liberal positivism and belief in society's capacity to "rationalize" itself according to a broader ideological scheme, which is why things like eugenics and Nazism were so often framed in scientific language despite being completely insane. the ease with which Israeli propaganda hops back and forth from "nimble entrepreneurial capitalism! small but proud! start up nation!" to "we must destroy the vermin in Gaza" and how easily those things are reconciled into one big poo poo pile is so gross. there doesn't seem to be as big of an ideological interplay between the two contemporary currents I'm comparing to earlier incarnations of fascism but it still gives me whiplash.

Exciting is the wrong word, but I'm definitely curious about how the American media, American politicians, and the Jewish diaspora is going to react when they finally take the mask off.

Obviously liberal publications like The New Yorker are generally "critical" of the occupation to varying degrees. Generally, there's a lot of equivocation, "Israel does have legitimate security concerns", etc.

But when Bibi finally announces, "hey there's no two-state anything, we're taking all of it, and Arabs are now disenfranchised" I wonder what the reaction will be. Obviously Trump, every Republican, and most Dem leadership will be cool with it. But I wonder about the rest of the country and the Democratic base.
