it is absolutely disgusting but not particularly surprising

i guess one bright spot is that everyone i've talked to about this irl so far has been surprisingly anti-israel and have been also extremely disgusted by the dehumanizing jingoistic coverage

Same. I - thankfully - have not heard anything about Israel from my friends and family, pro or con. It's setting up an interesting dynamic where the only people who really care are Zionists, evangelicals and establishment politicians of both parties.

Ahh yes Iran, the country trying to hang on for dear loving life to not have an internal revolution, masterminded one of the most successful Palestinian offenses against Israel in decades.

Iran has been backing a number of successful military actions in the region including Ansar Allah (houthis) and large parts of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Force that has been crucial to defeating ISIS. They have one of the strongest militaries in the region and the world.
Idk how involved they were but they certainly have the capability.

*Climbing atop the mountain of dead Palestinians to reach a microphone, tapping on it a few times* Killing civilians is bad and this is why Israel has to defend itself from these subhumans as only they would target innocents like this

There's no history of the conflict anymore. Hamas just up and did this for no reason. I guess that's how 9/11 was portrayed. The ARABS just did a terrorism because they hate freedom. Again, no history. Just the present.

P. much, yeah. It began around 9/11 and the dementia surrounding that and it's just built and built for years. It's the kind of stew that the folks who sign on to be settlers broil in for decades or just grew up in.

It really it awesome to watch the “the left side of media” in the US, like MSNBC, having people on and allowed to say stuff like “I don’t see how Israel can exist peacefully with these savages right over their border” and the hosts just nod along to very clearly calling for genocide

Yeah there's a reason I don't tune in to broadcast media basically at all anymore

Though even more hilarious is how little people actually care care, lol. nfl was trending in the states on twitter yesterday, the conflict didn't even crack the top 20. Even when a lot of people were going to sleep, some loving vtuber thing trended nationally and I/P didn't

I think the Ford, worst case, might just do what the USN did in 1973: hastily spray paint Israeli insignia and transfer their own air group to the IAF. The only thing is, Israel's taken no air losses, so this would just be emotional support I guess?

In terms of direct US intervention, how?

Other than contributing to the air campaign, hoping for a repeat of Libya or whatever, trying to get some punches in on Syria and Iran, what could the US even do at the moment? I don't think any of the Marine air–ground task forces recalled people from leave or anything, not that landing a light infantry battalion in Haifa would make a difference.

think it's to deter anyone coming to the palestinians' aid.

Lmfao is Israel loses this war because they bombed Hezbollah.

I'm a bit confused about why they did that.

Not that Hezbollah is tailored for offensive operations, or at least, it's not the Syrian or Egyptian Army, but they can fire across the border and now that Northern Command has to be put on alert.

It is just the mask comes out when the Empire is under threat, it is easy to pretend you care about the Palestinians when they are weak and you know you can crush them. Once they show an ability to fight back, then all sympathy goes out the window.

Also, Ukraine was a relatively new addition to the empire and somewhat disposable, Israel has been under America's wing for 70 years at least. If Israel folds, so does America's influence in the Middle East.

They just extremely overextended themselves in Ukraine and now it is a panic.

The US' warstocks are clearly low as well. They really don't want a war with Iran or a proxy war against it on top of everything else.

I seem to remember the US has done this before.

Well, like I said, isn't it a marvellous coincidence that both the Iraqi and Syrian Armies were destroyed and the US is forced to maintain troops on their territory to fight ISIS?

maybe in the throes of their enraged fascist panic their units independently decided that lobbing across the border was a safer way to vent their frustration than standing up against the hamas titan?

With any luck the mask won't go back on. I much prefer people to speak directly instead of those politically correct euphemisms we adopted from the Soviets.

Bibi needs to look tough at this point and any response has to be met with an overresponse, and now they are fighting on 2-3 fronts.

I'm thinking back to the Arab-Israeli wars and it seems like bombing everyone around them is practically a reflex at this point.

The reasoning might be "If Hezbollah is working with Hamas, we wouldn't be able to respond to a danger to the north once we've mobilized and sent forces south to Gaza and into the West Bank. Therefore, we must assume the worst case, that they are, and preemptively strike them, before we're vulnerable" or something like that.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

look, if the Palestinians would have just been content with dying quietly in a modest and respectful way, they wouldn't have to completely eradicated in the most violent way imaginable
