Lol if the WLF was supposed to be the IDF, because they were just set up as torturing totalitarian shitheads who get completely washed by the fake Palestinians and main characters by the end of the game.

Yeah, the rhetoric coming out of Israel in the last couple of days (we've destroyed this many tunnels, we've degraded Hamas militarily by x number of years etc) does point to a managed reduction in activity to go along with the "goals achieved" message.

Even if they could completely wipe out Hamas it would not be in the nationalists interests at all to remove the boogeyman they use to whip up nationalist fervour whenever needed.

Yhe only reason that craven little poo poo netenyahu is not on trial is because the lust for palestinian death and their lands is greater than the will to see him prosecuted.

The WLF is supposed to represent both Israel and Hamas. It's not enough for the game to both sides the player characters and their social circles, it also has to both sides the thematic base of I-P. The assumption that the WLF is representing the IDF is just your own personal bias being read into it, which is the point of every "gotcha" both sides do it liberal conflict narrative ever made. The whole problem with the outlook is that this conflict is rooted in petty personal or religious motivations and isn't existential, when in real life the Palestinians are literally fighting for their right to exist as a people.

It should also go without saying that the "goals achieved" are vastly overstated, and any real damage to Hamas is negligible. Like, if Hamas military intelligence really was blown up in that AP building it'd be a pretty significant blow, but we know it's a loving lie. The problem for Israel right now is that they can try winding down on their own terms, but so long as Hamas and PIJ keep shooting rockets into Israel they're compelled to do some face saving hospital bombings for their constituency. This isn't really a problem that Israel has full control over.

This is why they tell people to stay indoors even though they're more likely to get killed by a tornado on a trip to the US than getting hit by a rocket.

quote:

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki downplayed concerns that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas would curb the Biden administration’s ambition to complete a full withdrawal from Afghanistan.

When asked if troops would remain in the region to potentially assist in peacekeeping missions, as the violence intensifies, Psaki told reporters that the administration did not expect to miss its withdrawal deadline.

“I’ve not been made aware of any concern of the overlapping of an impact on our Afghan withdrawal plans,” Psaki said.

So the assumption from the press corps here is that Muslims are so inherently reactionary they're gonna get uppity over I-P anywhere, regardless of context?
