i don't see the child massacre in western media yet. excited to see how they handle this one.

No one will report on it. Or if they do, they will take all the dead kids, add one dead Israeli soldier to the total, and then say 'X Israelis and Palestinians died today during a deadly fight with the terrorists Hamas'. Its the same way theyve reported every Israeli massacre that has ever been

It’s morbid but is there any realistic chance of Gaza not being fully genocided now? I’m legit worried this is the moment where the IDF goes scrorched earth and flattens the strip and every man woman and child in it.

The choice was always between a slow despairing genocide or a quick violent genocide

Not historical but there is that much repeated story about the US War game where the general assigned to the insurgent side did a bunch of tricky stuff with low tech and they effectively won and then the game was stopped

The general involved here was cheating because he was mad at command. He claimed his bike messengers couldnt be intercepted, had 100% success rate, and also traveled at some absurd speed. His small boat flotilla carried bombs that weighed as much as the boats themselves and also couldnt be intercepted. The whole exercise was a farce and the only conclusion that can be drawn from it is that most US war game exercises are probably also farces but not quite funny enough to draw attention

I'm behind by like a thousand posts what the gently caress happened in the last ten hours

Hamas launched a massive coordinated attack on Israel and, at the moment, appear to be winning. So far we've got some absolutely wild poo poo, like Hamas gliding into IDF bases and commandeering tanks, Israel retaliating by destroying whole apartment complexes, calls for the nuclear annihilation of what remains of Palestine, and some very mundane poo poo like the crying from liberals that Palestine was on the path to peace for real this time and should have just kept sitting in their prisons a little while longer and how violence is never the answer

how the hell the current Israeli government survives this I don’t know. looking at the videos coming out of this, it’s catastrophic for the Israeli side. how do you lose military bases and how does your checkpoint into Gaza get overrun with your soldiers not making it out of their bunks?

The IDF are murderous thugs who were only trained to bully others from positions of unassailable strength. They have no idea how to handle someone fighting back when they don't have a legion of snipers at the ready to murder any child with a rock who strays too close.

Look, the murder of children with rocks via sniper or the slow extermination of a people via encroaching settlements and forced relocations into ghettos is just one of those regrettable but inevitable things we all just have to learn to accept. You should think of those civilians and children as 'phased out' or 'surplus to requirements'.

Killing *these* civilians is unacceptable though, because *these* civilians are real people who had a future unlike that other riff raff!

I think they legitimately bought all the racist myths they've been saying about Palestinian people.

This was genuinely a huge win, and saying that Mossad let them do it takes away so much from them.

Yeah, I dont think this is a false flag op. If they wanted to gin up a Hamas attack to justify some kind of massive retaliation they probably could have done something much smaller and still leveled apartment blocks to the applause of the international crowd. It wasnt necessary to have their air of superiority completely shattered on multiple fronts

are they still talking about the rave and ignoring everything else

Id feel bad for the ravers if they werent literally set up at the edge of Gaza for a lurid thrill. Its like when someone sits down next to a bear on some talk show and the bear decides that today is the day and just mauls the poo poo out of them. Its tragic, yeah, but maybe have some caution and respect?

Also its not like Israel has ever shown restraint around civilians, before or after, so gently caress em. Everyone who has ever served in the IDF and every settler are vital components of the Israeli regime of oppression and occupation and are valid targets.

this might be morally unserious, but since i'm being that, and if i distance myself from the politics of the situation, the more it looks like a bad and cheesy horror movie. there's these people on X and they're high af three miles away from this beehive of hamas militants. it's six in the morning and the music is still going and here comes the paragliders. death from above 2023. but people react to it like they just watched jason vorhees terrorize a summer camp. some are horrified, and some cheer on the serial killer just because his prey are so stupid. three miles away. what the gently caress. the whole situation is certifiably insane.

Yeah, I had the same thought while out on a morning walk. Theyre the teens in a horror movie who go to a party at the old haunted murder house, except its the still active murder house and their friends, family, and government are the ones responsible for the ongoing murders. Its just profoundly stupid.


Also lmao about the moral high ground in general. Anyone complaining about Palestine losing the moral high ground was always going to find an excuse to support Israel, and no amount of war crimes or genocide will ever tarnish Israel in their eyes.

I wonder what the command and control is like in Israel right now. Its only been three days and Hamas is still striking in multiple places, and the IDF is only trained to bully civilians with rocks. Maybe they're firing wildly at everything because internally nobody is really in charge and troops are just doing whatever they think they're supposed to be doing

In light of how quickly the extremely poor taste joke was hammered, I'd like to take a moment and thank Speng, Libster Shirt, and the rest for keeping this thread readable.

Property rights have only ever mattered for the ruling class.

Something interesting is happening on arab social media from my anecdotal observation, there is a massive realization happening amongst all classes that the west are actually evil and satanically racist and that all compromises mean nothing, there is a genuine wave of disgust with what the west is up to and a realization (even from the liberal weak kneed types) that the west will never grant them any form of humanity no matter how much they compromise.

There is also a huge outpouring of support from actual gulf social media, the people who were normally afraid of posting anything political in KSA and such have completely overwhelmed the troll bots and are now saying 'all us arabs have is each other, all us muslims have is each other' they're even outwardly saying they hope that carrier group gets blown up, and now there are some pro zionist quislings when they try to scare people point out that their masters made supporting hamas illegal and they will chase anyone who supports them will be legally chased, the overwhelming response from actual saudis and gulf arabs is 'Suck my dick, eat poo poo and die you loving worm'

Again this is anecdotal, but the tsunami of solidarity with palestine and how sharp it is from places I thought were under control by pro-zionists and the sheer rage from average real people is really inspiring. if israel thought they made any inroads to being tolerated by even a tiny fraction of arabs it was completely wiped away with their crimes, the slogan is now uniformly DTI.
