If protests didn't matter, NYT wouldn't downplay them with misleading photos. And again, this situation exists only because decades of Israel's perceived "popular mandate" emboldened horrific action. According to polling, most Americans aren't down with genocide. Biden parroted Israel's hospital libel (in part) because prevailing wisdom still thinks Americans unconditionally love, support, and embrace Israel. We don't. Protests are one way to show that. Unlike some less-successful protest movements, this directly challenges that harmful misconception. But also again, this is a slow macro-scale process that doesn't immediately put supplies where they need to go. But it doesn't do nothing.

double nine posted: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. the reasonable take is that they did get the warnings that they did, and they did see some of the training and the preparation, but they ignored it, which is different from "allowed it to happen" the Israelis are contemptuous enough of the Palestinians that they wouldn't believe an attack of this scale and force was coming, or that it would be successful if they even tried

VoicesCanBe posted: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. What would even be the point of letting it happen? That's the part of those theories that confuses me. What do they think is the plan here? That Netanyahu wants an excuse to genocide Gaza so badly he's willing to destroy his career over it?

gradenko_2000 posted:the reasonable take is that they did get the warnings that they did, and they did see some of the training and the preparation, but they ignored it, which is different from "allowed it to happen" The overriding tone I've been getting from virtually every Israeli state representative speaking/posting to the media (in English, can't comment on the Hebrew content), is a mixture of outrage, contempt and barely-veiled threats. It's bizarre, after all the money spent on propaganda and good P.R. over the years, the Israeli government of today seems incapable of putting forward anyone who doesn't immediately come off as some kind of psychopath. It seems to me, that in the immediate aftermath of October 7th, there was a huge opportunity to really boost international grassroots sympathy for Israel, and it's been entirely squandered because they seem incapable of not being very visibly assholes all the time.* *Also the extremely visible war crimes and open desire for genocide Pookah has issued a correction as of 13:31 on Oct 23, 2023 |

Early crack ping this morning. Someone on MSNBC perfectly straight faced said Israel didn’t think Gaza would be so violent because they were starting to be prosperous and that’s why HAMAS could do a surprise attack.

That Netanyahu wants an excuse to genocide Gaza so badly he's willing to destroy his career over it? had the initial attack been business as usual (perhaps a little more attack than they were used to) and had the retaliation been swift, sure, and brutal it wouldn’t have tanked his career it would have ensured it. To be the man who finally crushed Hamas in Gaza, took the strip for the Israelis, it would secure his legacy. but the Israelis are as proud as they are evil and so they disregarded the attack that turned out to be much more damaging than they thought and they’ve now fumbled the response so badly that the only remaining outcomes are negative for them and it’s entirely their own doing.

I mean... kinda there was an article maybe a week back talking about the deception operation that Hamas was running where they kept a low profile for two years and tried to be very vocal and cooperative with the Israelis offering Palestinians scut labor for poo poo wages and that the Israelis thought that it was working and the Palestinians were really pacifying themselves
