While this is true to an extent they also have zero issue wielding power against the left when the chips are down.

and one of the reasons they hate the left so intensely and so personally is because they’re angry at having to do that, at having to break decorum, to take the mask off. this could all proceed so quietly and calmly if everyone would just sit the gently caress down and shut the gently caress up.

I am too angry to read fully through the thread to see if this has been posted

https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Israel has a system called "where's daddy" that identifies when the target is home, to kill them with their families, because it's easier and they are authorized to kill "up to" 20 people to get one target, of any rank or importance. Altough they don't have a way of checking how many are in the building, so they don't.

quote:

“I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time. If [the operative] came up in the automated mechanism, and I checked that he was a man, there would be permission to bomb him, subject to an examination of collateral damage.”

His fundamentally bootstrap line was softened by a patina of the rhetoric of authentic community, talk about meeting in kitchens, small-scale solutions to social problems, and the predictable elevation of process over program — the point where identity politics converges with old-fashioned middle-class reform in favoring form over substance. I suspect that his ilk is the wave of the future in U.S. black politics, as in Haiti and wherever else the International Monetary Fund has sway. So far the black activist response hasn’t been up to the challenge. We have to do better.

This is exactly what I was trying to put into words a little while ago, but I got too loving angry to be coherent.

Also, Israel is streamlining the process of dehumanising Palestinians so efficiently. It's not enough to raise Israelis in a constant cloud of hatred and fear of Palestinians so they they will happily kill them, now they can blame the AI for killing them - " I didn't target them, the AI did!

Bear in mind the port was not a new idea when it was announced at the SOTU, Bibi suggested the idea to Biden on October 22 (source: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-791239). The port is a long term Israel objective, it'll be one of the things they point to to show what they accomplished when it's over.

So per this article, this port is the long time brain child of Israel Katz, Likud minister of foreign affairs. He is also the originator of Biden's plan for a rail link from the UAE to Israel.

quote:

https://www.jta.org/2017/04/13/israel/a-futuristic-israeli-peace-plan-minus-the-peace

Katz unveiled plans for the railway to journalists last week at the Transportation Ministry in Jerusalem. The initiative would link to Israel’s growing network of tracks eastward to the border with Jordan, which already has railway links to Saudi Arabia. The West Bank would also be included via train tracks through the northern Palestinian city of Jenin, he said.

quote:

Some 50 right-wing activists have assembled near Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s north Tel Aviv home for their first police-approved protest there since the war broke out.

It was unclear if Baharav-Miara was at home at the time.

Neighbors upset by the noise say this is the second such protest since October 7, with the first taking place yesterday, “by surprise.” A police officer confirmed that a request to hold last night’s protest was not approved.

The neighbors said that earlier demonstrations against Baharav-Miara’s opposition to the government’s planned judicial overhaul had taken place about 100 yards farther away from her home.

Prominent radical Likud activist Rami Ben-Yehuda is on site live-streaming the event on X, telling viewers online that she “supports Hamas.”

Ben-Yehuda goes full-on conspiratorial, accusing Baharav-Miata of protecting a 150-strong ring of pedophiles embedded in her office. Though it is unclear what he was referring to, Ben-Yehuda’s pronouncement echoes the US rightwing QAnon conspiracy theory.

Neighbors and protesters shout insults at each other. Ben-Yehuda tells an uninvolved passerby to “return to his dog and cat and to go f**k himself,” invoking a stereotype about Tel Avivians who often own pets.

Don’t read the Jerusalem post then. They had an article laughing at the Iranians, calling them a bunch of stupid cowards who weren’t gonna do poo poo except launch a few more rockets at them because they are afraid of reprisal from Israel and America. They said that even if they did do something, they had thousands of elite ninja warriors hidden in the country that would immediately activate and destroy them within. Unfortunately I’m only sure the second part is stupid bullshit.

Not sure what they can do. Elections were a wash historically low turnout for them, general internal discontent, and again their economy is not great (if you think inflation is bad here). If missiles do fly you can guarantee that the genociders will start to use nukes on them. So they know whatever direct action they take against Israel maybe the end for their government. However, if the writing is on the wall might as well take the first swing. However, war maybe the one thing that will unite them.
