An Israeli-Egyptian war would topple the American empure, and this happening under Sisi would be very funny honestly.

America would do something very bad to Sisi if he attacked Israel, it's just not going to ever happen.

Remember during the BLM protests people got cancelled as antisemetic for pointing out the real fact that Israel trained US police with neck kneeling compliance techniques they developed in Palestine.

sisi owes his job to america and israel, he is their tool. full stop.

During the 1911 chinese revolution, a pretty common theme was soldiers kicking in the local commander's front door, putting a gun to his head, and telling him he was now in charge of the glorious revolution against the imperial order. i imagine something similar going down for sisi

Nah it's simpler than that. Recently stolen land is still relatively evenly distributed. There's a sense of material future.

And since the people stolen from don't count, the net effect is a feeling of prosperity.

Neoliberalism produced a very peculiar condition of "morality of conflict" that makes actual strategy in the great sense of the word impossible. As in: establishing clear terms of political-economic outcomes, what is required to do so, alternatives to consider etc. But also very importantly, terms of defeat. The concept of strategic loss seem to have vanished in the minds of neoliberal elites (thankfully so).

imo, this is inseparable from the American moral attitude, which craves and seeks the mythologized high of WW2. Everything has become a struggle for civilization itself. The American state seem to never have actually realized, as a whole, that they became imperial. There's this constant rhetoric of the plucky republic against the crown that got amped up back during the tail-end of the 20th century and definitely this one, but it is clearly ridiculous to anyone who knows a bit of History.

Then a Palestine uprising happens. Civilizational struggle, democracy, etc. But one side has an air force and the other doesn't. So doing an Operation Linebacker in 2024 seems a pretty good idea, until it succeeds only in breaking the entire strategic arrangement of the region and making the international order show its own rear end in uselessness, showing to everyone that can see its farcical nature for what it is. Heroic resistance against all odds inspire defiance elsewhere, like the brave Yemeni challenging control of the Red Sea and causes a hell of a scramble. And things keep escalating and people keep resisting and the plucky republic simply is having continuous blue-screens and tries to keep doing the same thing.

By historical measures, Israel and the United States have been already defeated, the question is how much worse they want to make this be. Answering this problem seems to be a critical difficulty for the neoliberal condition, as it requires the admission of a lot of things - especially a reckoning with material-historical things - and the risk of ideological collapse.

Egypt will not allow the Palestinian cause to be liquidated at the expense of Egyptian land. If the criminal Netanyahu thinks about violating the peace agreement and seeks to cross the red lines, this will be a disaster for him and his masters. Egypt is unbreakable, and the land of Sinai is a sacred land that cannot be neglected. Sisi is not alone, behind him is the great army and people of Egypt in the face of everyone who threatens Egyptian national security.

I mean, realpolitik and all, but I would not come out and say "genocide is fine as long as you stay on your side of the border".

not that i'd defend mustafa bakry (he's an incredibly dumb state hawk mouthpiece) but it doesn't say genocide is fine, they just don't care to do anything to help Palestinians unless it impacts the regime's survival even if they're against the genocide
