The only reason we appear to know about this one is apparently because the Syrians shot a missile back at the planes and set of ye olde rocket alarm back in Israel. It's not really a secret. This happens about once a month. Israel rarely admits when they do this, but sometimes they do, and the reasoning is always the same: they're bombing supplies directed towards Hezbollah/Hamas/etc. Israel has bombed in Sudan several times for similar reasons. This is what overwhelming air superiority looks like.

There was an alternative remembrance day in tel aviv. It was for both Jews and Palestinians. Most of the Palestinians didn't get granted access, but the important thing is that a bunch of right wingers were outside cursing, wishing death and throwing crap at the people on the ceremony, who had bereaved families and soldiers among them. Naftali Bennett tweeted that if they celebrate the death of murderers (I assume because it was for Palestinians victims as well) then they shouldn't be bothered by some spitting, cursing and having stuff thrown at them. The tweet was then deleted and blamed on an intern. He has still not said anything about how it was a lovely thing to tweet, surprisingly.

But the real question isn't whether "Israelis" are genocidal villains, it's whether the Israeli government are genocidal villains. Every group has its shitheads, what matters is whether or not those shitheads are in power and whether or not the people in power are willing to restrain those shitheads.

By all accounts, the truth really is in the middle here - the IBA was a ramshackle, horrendously mismanaged zombie organisation, and Netanyahu is taking advantage of that to increase Likud's control over the media now it's collapsed.

I've seen Israeli right-wingers screaming about Abbas 'supporting violence' by endorsing the ongoing hunger strikes. In what world is a hunger strike a call to violence??

Cugel the Clever posted:I've seen Israeli right-wingers screaming about Abbas 'supporting violence' by endorsing the ongoing hunger strikes. In what world is a hunger strike a call to violence?? The argument is that the hunger-strikers, particularly the ringleader, Marwan Barghouti, were imprisoned for violent crimes, so any improvement of their situation is 'supporting violence'. So there's some logic to it, just not of a sort that has any compatibility with any concept of prisoners' rights.

Gobbeldygook posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/864179329231720450 Why do you think that? It's pretty clear what's going on. Trump promised on the campaign trail that he'd move the embassy, and the Israeli right generally assumed he'd change the course of US-Israel policy in a very pro-Israel direction. A few months into the Trump presidency, though, none of that's happened and there's no particular sign that any of it is going to happen, so the Israeli right is furious. Meanwhile, after spending the last eight years feuding with the Democrats, Netanyahu doesn't want to risk pissing off the Republicans too, so he's forced to play along with Trump's calls for restraint and push the Knesset and cabinet to hold back, which is really disappointing to right-wingers who thought they'd just be able to go hog wild once Trump was sworn in. It seems like Bibi's rivals from the right are trying to harness that right-wing anger by claiming that Trump's failure to live up to the right's expectations is the fault of Netanyahu, who they claim is betraying the right by secretly telling Trump to keep the embassy where it is and so on. Doesn't sound very plausible to me, but I guess it's taking off anyway. Fox News picked it up and reported it, which prompted Netanyahu to release transcripts proving it false.

That sounds about right. Here's my prediction: the parties right of Likud (at least Jewish Home) leave the coalition, Bougie drags Zionist Camp in, unity government until Bibi finds a way to gently caress them over and call an election at an opportune time for him. ZC/Labour barely scratch the threshold next election.

Belay that: according to the NYT, Israel is the source of the information Trump leaked. This basically means that Netanyahu, who tied himself to good relations with Trump rewarding Israel, has lost both the right-wingers (because suddenly he's talking like any other President as far as the West Bank is concerned) and the security people. Yaa'on, Netanyahu's former defense minister and former IDF chief of staff is ready to talk about the submarine misdeeds if no charges are brought. It's all falling apart for him.

So what are the odds that this leads to the US just cutting ties with Israel and the rest of the ME flattening the nation, leading all the Nazis in other nations to feel fully safe that they won't be Mossaded if they try to do their Nazi thing?
