Grimson posted:you might think its stupid or silly (and i agree with you), but its part of a nation building exercise that, as israel is a settler-state, has an end-goal of justifying israels claim to the area. by appropriating the levantine cuisine and saying its "israeli" they're effectively claiming ownership of the food culture in the region and removing the originators who have cooked the food for generations. you see the same poo poo in italy where modern day italy is using food as a pillar in establishing the "italian identity", not to mention how important it is for the italian gdp, and all of the food they're touting as "traditional italian" is either a newly imagined dish or a corruption of an older traditional food. Grandi kicks rear end and makes people mad as hell. But yeah calling all these food Israeli is part of the cultural erasure that the genocide entails. Its the same in spirit as the razing of cemetaries, the bombing of historic mosques and the raiding of the archaeological departments of the universities and museums. Classic colonial things.

Its not because the IDF sucks at rations. (They might but this is not a good faith effort at an actual MRE.) Its because, and steve does mention this in the video, that they have no use case for field rations considering theyre almost never more than 24 hours away from a canteen that is well stocked, and takeout pizza, all thanks to the country being tiny. They dont need to haul these anywhere because they have ample transport. So you get this extremely cost cut box full of cans to tick off a box and thats it.

This is what I heard too, except we've been hearing a lot lately about Israeli soldiers getting sick after eating badly prepared or stored food supplied by random civilians. So it sounds to me that in actual wartime conditions, the canteens are either overwhelmed or simply not there, the rations are crap and the pizza delivery charges are just too drat high.

The Israelis can't get their actual real soldiers to escort their tanks, so there's no way their pizza delivery services are getting within 10km of danger. Maybe at some point they'll designate some battalion level pizza pick up soldiers. Hell, it could be a reward duty - kill your kid quota and get a few hours away from the unaccountably angry locals to get food for the guys.

It's nuts how much the white house has felt like it's on autopilot throughout this crisis. Even where it's taking action, bombing the houthis and militias, it feels like they're making the default decision, what the U.S. government would do automatically if left fully headless. All of the messaging feels like it's meant to buy time, "we're talking behind the scenes we swear". Just displaying no initiative whatsoever, even on behalf of their most monstrous objectives. By contrast, those operating on behalf of Palestine have been very proactive. The ICJ case, the Yemeni blockade, the ongoing resistance within Gaza. Part of what makes their success seem so possible is that they're clearly the side with motivation.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/report-smotrich-trying-to-prevent-banks-from-enforcing-us-sanctions-against-settlers/ Report: Smotrich trying to prevent banks from enforcing US sanctions against settlers Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is seeking to prevent Israeli banks from complying with US sanctions against allegedly violent Israeli settlers, Channel 12 reports. Bank Leumi earlier froze the account of one of the four sanctioned individuals — fearing American legal repercussions if it continues to service him. The report says that Smotrich contacted the Bank of Israel today and asked the supervisor of the banks to issue a clarification that Israeli law does not oblige banks to freeze sanctioned individuals’ accounts. Smotrich is quoted as saying it was “unthinkable” that an Israeli bank should take action against an Israeli citizen over a US decision. “I will take action as the finance minister and do what I must,” he reportedly said, adding that, “if need be, we’ll advance legislation on the matter.” A banking source tells the network the US could sanction banks who continue to serve sanctioned individuals.

It would be pretty funny if these token sanctions end up causing actual damage due to Zionist intransigence. Not holding my breath on it, but then again the whole machine seems to be breaking down in weird ways.
