i take it these turned out to be fake?

yeah as far as anyone can tell it was a rumor that spiraled completely out of control, boosted by osint accounts and various other internet people, until even the Israeli government and military were treating it as a legitimate threat and air raid sirens were going off and people in dozens of towns in northern Israel were ordered into the bomb shelters

then nothing happened

How are people here handling the atmosphere of censorship around this? Call me a chickenshit, but I am slightly afraid of losing my job if I am too vocal on social media. I am still expressing my opinions where it feels appropriate, but it’s getting hard.

HashtagGirlboss posted:

There’s nothing to be gained by posting about this on social media or talking about it with people who you’re not very close to, assuming at least that you’re in the USA, because you will not open eyes and you will not change opinions, this is overwhelmingly being messaged in a way that it’s best just to keep your head down, idk if I thought it would come to some good to speak up I’d say differently, but there is no benefit and only problems sorry

One thing I have noticed is nobody is even talking about this offline. I have not heard a snip of conversation even from people I hear occasionally talk about Ukraine, idk, nobody seems to want to talk about it anyway and honestly I’d oblige

it's very similar to any controversial geopolitical position like uyghur genocide, russia's unprovoked war of aggression and genocide, assad's genocidal chemical weapon attacks etcetc except with the added detriment that the israel lobby wield a lot of political and institutional power and aren't afraid to use it.

posting too much about it outside of places like SA or tankie twitter is probably not worth the risk and you're not likely to change people's minds anyway. you're better off looking at how to contribute in a group/org if you feel like you have to do something.

What do we define as "lose" here? Unofficial official Israeli policies are... something.

In short: Israel's nuclear policy is to ensure the destruction of the world if Israel is "lost".

Or, at least to phone up the US president and say that is what is going to happen if you don't start loading up every cargo plane you have right now.

The irony is not lost on me that the whole reason Samson was captured in the first place is that he wouldn't stop slaughtering Philistines
