Israel is costbenefit analysing the gently caress out of gaza though. With airstrikes and blockades

I do wonder what the IDF puts in the 'cost' column when it comes to bombing gaza

If the tunnels were in Israeli territory why did they have to cross the border at all to collapse them.

VitalSigns posted:If the tunnels were in Israeli territory why did they have to cross the border at all to collapse them. This is something I've wondered for a while. They're aware of the tunnels, they know they're in Israeli territory, why not collapse them in Israel? A tunnel with no exit doesn't seem particularly useful and also destroying the exit doesn't require sending troops into Palestinian territory.

Kim Jong Il posted:What do you call Hamas digging tunnels in Israeli territory then? Gee, I feel like we just covered this question like five posts ago. Main Paineframe posted:If there was in fact a soldier-abducting tunnel going into Israeli territory, and Israel did in fact know about it, then they had plenty of options for dealing with it that didn't involve breaking a ceasefire. Dealing with people tunneling at you without having to send troops overland into enemy lines to seize the tunnel entrance was something militaries could manage centuries ago, usually with far less of a technological and materiel advantage than Israel currently possesses.

Kim Jong Il posted:What do you call Hamas digging tunnels in Israeli territory then? Israel doesn't even claim this. Aside from their reasoning changing from "stopping rocket fire" when it became clear that excuse was bullshit they then relied on them unilaterally stating that tunnels coming within 500m of the border (ie still in Palestine) would be met with an attack. So your question is purely hypothetical and the real actual situation was a tunnel within Palestinian territory. So you tell us what should Israel's response to Palestinian tunnels within Palestinian territory be? Was Operation Cast Lead appropriate for that why or why not?

Kim Jong Il posted:How exactly do you expect Israel to interpret a tunnel after the Shalit kidnapping? It was a naked provocation given Hamas's precedent for kidnapping. As a preparation for a potential future attack - something which is allowed under a ceasefire (just like Israel mustering forces for an invasion during the ceasefire), and which posed little real threat given that Israel already knew the presence and location of the supposed tunnel.

Oh sure "me personally" I dont advocate for attacks against civilians, but when they happen I do always painstakingly point out how they were always 100% justified because of a terror tunnel, or a terror kite, or a terror seagull

Palestinians are simultaneously Israeli residents, hostile militants and foreign nationals, depending solely on which label most excuses whatever excesses they’re currently suffering at the hands of Israel and the IDF. It’s a narrative as old as nationalism if not older.

CNN dropped this guy like he said 'Death to America' after speaking about US aid to Syrian rebels or something.

pro starcraft loser posted:https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/cnn-fires-contributor-marc-lamont-hill-criticising-israel-181130061452765.html It's used as a pro one state solution slogan from the Palestinian side. Israeli one-staters use very similar rhetoric. Whether a one state solution implies ethnic cleansing depends on who you talk to. There's an unfortunate amount of overlap with pro-ethnic cleansing groups using that rhetoric ... so may be wiser to avoid risking the implication.

The phrase in that context basically does mean a one state solution with Palestine in control and his backpedaling from that is kind of weird but I think that's when he was hoping to save his job. The sad thing is that expressing that view is looked down upon but flip it around and have a one state solution controlled by Israel and no one at CNN would have blinked an eye.

How do people get 'he was clearly calling for ethnic cleansing while being super sneaky and is anti-semetic' from him saying he wanted "a single secular democratic state for everyone" in a "free Palestine from the river to the sea" in a speech in which he criticized and condemned Israel's ethnic cleansing? It looks like the only reason they fired him was because he was a public figure who expressed anti-Zionist sentiments where people could hear him.

Why would they? Israel is already a sovereign powerful state that basically controls the whole of Palestine. It'd be like calling for a free Boer Republic in Southern Africa in the 70s.

I guess they never specified that they fired him for that one phrase, and rather for generally calling out Israel being a genocidal rogue state, so it doesn't really matter. It was ADL who recognized the dog-whistle, and plenty of folks already called them and CNN out for being absolutely cool with people advocating for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

naked anti-colonialism gonna get tagged with the gaudiest poo poo cuz that's how the media class and the reactionaries do. their lives revolve around affectation and they weaponize it effectively, so don't be surprised or question it when they try to trap you in the fineries of their shame. no one actually believes the state of israel doesn't lead to the genocide of the palestinian people, they just paint you with their guilt in an attempt to absolve themselves of it.
