Didn't some Palestinians on the ground say that seeing protests in America was actually really good for their morale?

I get cynicism about protesting because I think it does seem pretty useless for convincing Americans to do anything counter to media interests, but if it helps the good guys hold out that's actually significant. If it makes shithead zionists mad that's just a bonus.

As it is I'm gonna try to drag my old carcass to the next protest around here.

Ya that's fair. Showing solidarity is always worth doing as long as there is a tip of the spear doing the real work somewhere along the line.

It doesn't change the fact that Western leftists need to convert rallies into action. Marching in the street changes nothing if there is no follow up.

And don't you dare quote this message with the Obama vote tweet lol :mad:

At this point the odds of this being Israeli have to be a hell of a lot lower than 1%.

The initial story created such chaos and anger, leading to riots and recriminations and embassies being evacuated. The walkback is a lot quieter.

Also just further underscores that the demented shitheads in Hamas do not care at all about killing their own people.

The demonstrations are important as an epistemological exercise. If the public sphere is completely dominated by pro-Israeli interests, then the only possibility of pushback to that comes from mobilizing a physical presence in public. It's important to maintain a political counter-narrative rather than allowing private interests to completely control the public space. Anybody who thinks demonstrations are pointless because they don't have an immediate policy outcome, doesn't understand the ideological struggle within the political process.

I have to say the idea that the intelligence services 'allowed' october 7 to happen hadn't occured to me, it kind of seems possible but I feel like that recuperates Israel's humiliating defeat.

It also doesn't really matter bc the concentration camp nature of Gaza justifies any attempts to lift its siege, but still. how functional and calculating is the mossad?

Israel allowed itself to be humiliated and defeated completely and utterly and have the reputation of it's army, intelligence and technology sector fatally compromised and its ability to secure settler colonialists destroyed to show the world they could if they really wanted to.

right? that's what floors me about the logic.

The most charitable analysis I can think of is that if Israel allowed it, they thought the attack would be stopped by their superweapons/superzoldaten, and got the humiliating results we've seen

Again its just thinly veiled racism, brown people cannot be smart enough to pull of an operation like that without white/westerners knowing and approving. Its just an ineffable amount of arrogance that Hamas toppled.

If Netenyahu let it happen on purpose, which I don't buy but hypothetically let's say he did, then it's a plan that clearly backfired horribly. His career is probably over regardless of what happens now.

yeah the idea that "actually we knew about this we just let it happen" is bullshit, if they knew the extent they'd have at the very least increased the guard towers or whatever

what's plausible is that they knew hamas is making moves and figured "it's just gonna be the same 10 ineffectual rockets again and we can bomb them some more from this pretext" and ignoring it in their nazist hubris

Not to be confused with meat.
There are a lot of unpleasent things about Israel (being an apartheid state, for example) but one interesting fact about the country is the variety of Arabic words that were adopted by Israelis as slang - like "tzababa/sababa" which vaugly means "great", or "ya Allah", meaning "oh god/oh my god". Another more amusing example is the Arabic word "koos", meaning "vagina", or "koosemek" meaning "your mom's vagina".
