It is pretty blatant that they don't actually see these as "acceptable costs," they just don't see it as a cost at all.

Paladinus posted:The absolute shortsightedness of attacking an embassy amidst growing tensions is staggering. Literally zero strategic reason to do that, pure posturing. Zero surprise that Iran retaliated, and Israel will still try to spin it as an unprovoked attack somehow. It's not shortsighted if history has proven that you can do whatever you want and get away with it.

Frankly it would be irrational of them not to abuse the apparently unconditional support they get from the US.

Pentecoastal Elites posted:I don't think an international führerprinzip is representative of "the best we have", no. If you're saying it's the operational one due to the position of America as the global hegemon, then sure, I agree. Laws are not and have never been self-enforcing, they require people in power to enforce them. Laws that are enforced by people in power are by definition the best we have. Edit: International laws are of course enforced by those with international power.

I mean, the simplest reason that the US backs everything Israel does is that this is very politically popular, and remains that way because of propaganda.

The starvation is not a failure of the system, it is an intentional act by the people in control of the region. As long as they want this to happen, they will find a way to make it happen. Because they don't care about the rules we might impose on them. Preventing them from delaying inspections in one particular way means literally nothing, because they have infinite other ways to achieve the same goal as long as they are charge of the region.

Israel truly wants the Gazans to die, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks because they have the apparently unconditional backing of the US. I hope that helps.

According to polls, the majority of registered Democrats support the US giving aid to Israel, and while they disapprove of the "war", most blame it on Hamas rather than Israel. As in, every time they hear about horrific death tolls, they blame Hamas for forcing Israel's hand and want to support Israel even more. They believe Israel is trying to minimize civilian deaths as much as possible. IE: the propaganda works. There's definitely a large skew with younger voters supporting Palestine more, but not as much as you might think. It's closer to 50-50 than a majority in either direction.

Edit: Never mind, I'm probably not informed enough to comment on this.
