Maybe some of us milquetoast millennials, but not the youth leading these protests. And to be honest I'm not sure the liberal establishment is capable of superficial concessions and better speechmaking.

What an odd thing to wonder about. It's like wondering if a leaf knows the square root of pi. Completely meaningless.

Is AIPAC going to allow them to make superficial concessions? No. And that's the long and short of it. All policy on israel is driven by a handful of insane, bloodthirsty billionaire donors.

Nah I think they're too intermeshed in American hegemony to be let go too easily. AIPAC certainly helps keep them there, but there's plenty of other reasons (albeit not necessarily good ones) the US backs Israel- mostly that we can't get enough of genocidal settler states

Death to Israel.

Is the phrasing "death to Israel" really what we're saying now?

Like I oppose what Israel is doing in Gaza, and the formation of Israel in 1948 and displacement of Palestinians was a crime against humanity. I'm far from a supporter of Israel, but man that phrasing still sounds kind of genocidal in a way I'm pretty uncomfortable with.

I dunno. I know it's not the topic of the thread, so to bring it back I can't imagine matching with someone who said that phrasing. Is this just pearl clutching on my part?

Israeli forces open fire against suspected drug smugglers at Egyptian border

www.aa.com.tr posted:

JERUSALEM

Israeli forces opened fire on suspected drug smugglers at the Egyptian border on Tuesday, according to the army.

A statement said soldiers operating surveillance cameras spotted several suspects on the border fence in the Mount Harif region.

Soldiers opened fire, hitting several of them, it said.

No further details were provided by the army.

“This is an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel,” an Israeli military source, who preferred to remain unnamed, told Anadolu.

He said the suspects caused damage to the border fence.

There was no comment from Egyptian authorities.

Drug smuggling incidents on the Israeli-Egyptian border are frequent.

I think they're talking about the highly likely scenario of Israelis doing the shooting, but these are not mutually exclusive

Given that Israel has shown they will fire at anyone, including other Israelis and US citizens, to stop aid convoys, I can't help but agree.

But also, given the fact Israel already DID do those things, deliberately, and the US let it slide without any real fuss, the US would most likely just order the troops to at most fire warning shots.

There's not a government conspiracy to start general protests across the country, because they're not that smart. That said, if the goal was to spark general protests across the country, what would they be doing differently?

They'd be raising taxes to pay for it instead of sweeping it all into a big pile.
