The ruling class can't seem to decide who the designated evil enemy should be. They were trying to drum up distrust and hatred of China because of the scary social media app; that didn't work, so I guess they decided to settle on Iran.

It’s so much funnier that she’s a sailor, because you have to think people join the Israeli Navy believing there’s no risk of return fire or anything.

The big looming question hanging over all of this is how this could even happen at all, and the obvious answer is that it happened because Israel got too complacent. It's likely that Israeli intelligence DID receive forewarning about the operation, but dismissed them after underestimating Hamas's capabilities and assuming they couldn't breach the border wall. Not only did they breach the fences in several places, they flew over the border wall and BLEW UP THEIR TANK!

The Israelis over-automated their defenses around the Gaza border zone to the point there was practically no mass of manpower to stop any incursion. Instead they set up a bunch of outposts with a single elevated remote-controlled machinegun, and Hamas disabled those with drones too. Without those guns and obvservation posts the IDF was completely blind in the No Man's Land, with no way to shoot at anybody coming into the country. Once the infiltrators got past those defenses the interior of Israel is totally hollow, with nothing to stop them other than beat cops. The IDF meanwhile has been sluggish to respond because they're over-deployed in the West Bank doing police actions, and can only draw down commitments there in case of a spontaneous uprising.

It's unquestionable that Hamas has already achieved an overwhelming victory by spreading so much chaos throughout southern Israel. The Israelis tried to do capital-intensive colonialism on a prison population of 2 million people, and their fancy doo dads got blown up with drones bought off the Ali Baba store. Before this attack Gaza was set on a certain path of being environmentally uninhabitable until it would be ethnically cleansed and annexed by Israel as one big superfund site. Now because of this operation, it's apparent that the settler-colonial project of Israel is unsustainable. It will demand too much from Israelis to maintain the current conditions of occupation, after Israelis have already grown soft and fat off of being lifted up into the imperial core.

Israelis are now committed to the thought that they can achieve revenge, but this purely reactionary stance WILL make the Israelis make even more mistakes, trigger a wider war in the region, and leave them in a situation where they have no choice but to re-negotiate their position with Gaza if not all of Palestine. It's ultimately impossible to maintain vulgar colonialism over a native population full of vitality and desperate to maintain their dignity. These chickens all came home to roost for Europe and North America during the cold war, and now reality is asserting itself in Israel.

May the Axis of Resistance bring justice to the perfumed heads of their oppressors. DTI.

I can see why from an Iranian government perspective they would do this, the country is divided, the economy is poo poo and water shortages are loving up a lot of places. They need something to unite and distract from their own internal divisions and well regardless of what you think of the government you probably hate Israel.

Or after continued attacks on Iran by Israel they responded forcefully. Not everything is a wag the dog PR move. States do act in self defense

We need to come up with some redress in order to sanction somebody at the United Nations level. I also don't think Iran needs to "use" Hamas to attack Israel, they're more than capable.

I'm genuinely wondering what the impact would be even if the IDF manages to do their reprisals and send Hamas back to Gaza. I can't imagine there will be a lot more dance parties in southern israel. Will there even be a lot of interest in living in southern settlements? Will there be a lot of interest in tech conferences in Tel Aviv? A lot of the "wrap-up" phase of this genocide has been about integrating Israel with the larger european first world ecosystem, and if nothing else, that seems like it will be severely damaged.
