It's nuts that voicing this point of view is accepted in Israel but if any democrat said this in the US they would immediately be kicked out of the party.

Probably the effect of having actual skin in the game. If you're an Israeli, and you're not some cuntface settler who can escape to his other home in long island and the people YOUR country is genociding are within driving distance, you have a big incentive to take this entire situation deathly seriously, and if you're an honest analyst who's really examining the facts rather then losing yourself in a frothing genocidal nationalist fervor, it's tough not to come to the conclusion that maybe keeping people in an open air prison is a bad idea if you don't want them to hit back.

quote:

Dear Editor: I am a first generation, post-Holocaust Jew. I believe that the Hamas violent incursion into Israel this week was a predictable reaction to decades of Israeli oppression.

Israel’s bombing campaign has destroyed schools, hospitals, residences and already killed 326 children. There are no clear military targets — the intent appears to be massive bloodletting of Palestinian civilians. A likely invasion will produce untold Palestinian deaths and injuries.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu perversely said that Israel will turn Gaza into "deserted island" and urged Palestinians to get out. But they have no way out; they are trapped.

Israel has implemented a total siege, cutting off food, electricity, fuel and medicine, confirming that the target of this campaign is the civilian population. Gaza’s health system, already weakened by the earlier blockade, is near collapse.

The Gaza health ministry has pleaded for a safe corridor for the entry of urgent medical aid. Israel’s response has been to bomb the only entry point to Gaza that it does not control: the Rafah crossing into Egypt.

This vicious collective punishment is a war crime by international standards. The Biden administration, having pledged to provide whatever weaponry Israel requests, is now complicit. Biden has a lot of blood on his hands.

The mainstream press frames the Hamas violence as unprovoked. But there is a long history of oppression that dates to the ethnic cleansing in 1947-49 of 750,000 Palestinians and has continued since. The war on Gaza is just the latest, and perhaps most deadly example.

Violent incidents across occupied West Bank
By Imran Khan, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank:

Let me bring you up to date with the multiple incidents going on right now.

In Hawar, settlers are attacking cars. Just outside of Nablus, settlers are attacking Palestinians. In the last couple of hours, Israeli soldiers shot at a car at a checkpoint. A 37-year-old Palestinian woman was killed in that attack. We’re also hearing of an attack on an illegal Israeli settlement where a Palestinian gunman was shot dead at a checkpoint.

There is a complication when it comes to the occupied West Bank. The minister of defence, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is a settler himself. He is angry that he’s not part of the Israeli war cabinet. So he is allegedly calling on his settler supporters to attack Palestinians.

We can’t confirm that but he’s always said Israelis should defend themselves. Now, if that happens, if he does publicly call for settlers to attack Palestinians, then Israel has a huge problem.

This is definitely true. And I’m legit amazed at how large, vocal, and visible the Pro-Palestine sentiment is in the west among the average person this time around. And it’s predictably making the ruling class and their Pro-Israel racist sycophants in the middle/working classes loving pissed that so many people aren’t buying the official narrative anymore despite them totally controlling all the legacy media that’s supposed to control the narrative, and astroturfing the internet as hard as possible. Especially considering that the ruling class has never been more adamant and unified about forcing a pro-genocide narrative than now. I think that’s why we’ve never seen I/P conflict discourse get this venomous in the west before, because it’s the first time the Israelophilia of the ruling class has received such pushback.

The reason the ruling class is so adamantly, instantly, and clumsily pro-israel / pro-genocide this time around has, imo, very little to do with Israel, very little to do with Palestinians or the genocide thereof, and very little to do with popular opinions on the I/P conflict as such.

What's relevant to them here isn't the I/P conflict. It's that the operation by hamas has seriously and embarrassingly challenged the state's monopoly on violence. And not just any state, but what on paper is supposed to be a sophisticated, well-funded, high-tech, western military--the ones who go around and tell everyone else How It's Done when it comes to this kind of police state poo poo.

This isn't 9/11, where a surprise attack inflicted spectacular but utterly tolerable losses without any direct confrontation with military or security forces. It's not ISIS, where militarized remnants of a failed state went up against a hollowed-out Potemkin Arab military widely regarded among the west as totally inept, in a region we had already destroyed first. And, for all the hand-wringing libs do over the theatrics of Jan 6, at no point did that involve any serious violence directed at the security apparatus of the state, nor did it seriously challenge the state's ability to strong-arm its populace.

This goes beyond anything they have seen. A single battalion's worth of insurgents on toy aircraft and motorcycles just marching right into military bases, pulling down the IDF's pants, and kicking them repeatedly in the balls for an entire weekend while livestreaming it to hoots and hollers 'round the world, while the state is completely unable to neutralize them. This has pierced the veil of competence and invincibility not just of the IDF, but of security forces in neoliberal countries everywhere, whose institutions are probably even more hollowed out, at an even lower level of readiness, and with even more inept personnel.

It's a completely unacceptable embarrassment to the very notion that the ruling class and their property are ultimately protected by the state's military and law enforcement. It's an intolerable humiliation, and they need to make an example out of the people who did it, totally irrespective of the underlying politics.

A new Israeli government, formed on 13 June 2021, declared a "status quo" in the settlements policy. According to Peace Now, as of 28 October this has not been the case. On October 24, 2021, tenders were published for 1,355 housing units plus another 83 in Givat HaMatos and on 27 October 2021, approval was given for 3,000 housing units including in settlements deep inside the West Bank.[373] These developments were condemned by the U.S.[374] as well as by the United Kingdom, Russia and 12 European countries.[375][376] while UN experts, Michael Lynk, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967 and Mr. Balakrishnan Rajagopal (United States of America), UN Special Rapporteur on adequate housing said that settlement expansion should be treated as a "presumptive war crime".[377][378]

In February 2023, the new Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu approved the legalization of nine illegal settler outposts in the West Bank.[379] Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich took charge of most of the Civil Administration, obtaining broad authority over civilian issues in the West Bank.[380][381] In March 2023, Netanyahu's government repealed a 2005 law whereby four Israeli settlements, Homesh, Sa-Nur, Ganim and Kadim, were dismantled as part of the Israeli disengagement from Gaza.[382] In June 2023, Israel shortened the procedure of approving settlement construction and gave Finance Minister Smotrich the authority to approve one of the stages, changing the system operating for the last 27 years.[383] In its first six months, construction of 13,000 housing units in settlements, almost triple the amount advanced in the whole of 2022.[384]

Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset. Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich, now the finance minister in the hardline government and leader of the Religious Zionism party, said so himself in 2015.

According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Yeah I’ve wondered that for a long time. I don’t understand how so many people can make such a total break from reality. It isn’t just that there a some liars and some gullible people, it seems like it’s millions of people publicly knowingly living and larping in self delusional improv.

I remember seeing something about it in the Musk/Twitter thread, about how it could be something like conservatives on social media building social cohesion among each other and attacking their enemies by agreeing to the same central lie, like kids on a play ground all agreeing that the unpopular kid actually smells bad. People playing along with the lie are the in group, and anyone who says I can’t smell anything are the out group. So when conservatives start broadcasting their talking points they’re self identifying as conservatives and looking to see who replies back with the right shibboleth.

But it’s still at least a semi conscious decision to accept make believe as the truth. I remember seeing posts about vaccines and 5g, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but what always stood out to me was that there would be posts with lists and some lists besides ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine would have a third and a fourth suggestion unique to that post, and obviously these would be equally inane suggestions that couldn’t possibly work, and the person suggesting them probably never even tried those suggestions themselves. That always really bothered me, because it seemed really clear that they weren’t just repeating the lies they had been told, they were making new poo poo up and posting as though it were real. That’s where I got the impression that it’s like improv and they’re all playing “yes, and”. It’s so jarring because just making poo poo up and pretending the fantasy is real despite being fully aware they made it up is insane. These are some of the stupidest and most childish people. I think stuff like Facebook really supercharges it because of the echo chambers these people gravitate to.

Anyway I don’t understand it at all, and it just seems like this kind of stuff is everywhere on the internet. Like mom forums where they are all posting different essential oil recommendations at each other. Or forums where people pretend to be able to do magic or whatever.

I used to know a guy who was basically a compulsive liar, he was always telling obviously fake, unbelievable stories to seem cooler or in the know. He was a big “my uncle who works at Nintendo guy”, except he was way older than the young children who would normally do that. It’s not like anyone believed him, but most people just ignored him or said, “yeah, sure, whatever”. I don’t think he was ever going to change unless he stumbled upon a little maturity and self-awareness or people started calling him out. In retrospect he seems like a prime candidate for this kind of delusional posting.

Bad faith group think?
