didnt israel do airstrikes against Syria while they were fighting ISIS in the same area?

ISIS fighters also routinely crossed the border and were given medical treatment by the Israelis.

Someone asked before if the DPRK has made a statement about the situation, they haven't, but a couple of days ago the PNA sent them a floral basket.

The system has mostly outperformed expectations up until now, or at least that was the impression I got from reporting on iron dome

The fact that you can just break the system by launching enough rockets is pretty big news

Well, in that case, the Republicans took office and the Dems ate poo poo. In this case, Hamas became a real threat, did violence, and now Netanyahu has air cover from every white country to push all the Palestinians into the sea.

So in hindsight it was only a dumb plan if killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians is something Bibi was actually interested in avoiding

This wasn't his plan, he wanted to slowly and quietly genocide Palestinians by 'controlling the height of the flames.' So no, it was an abject failure. And one that could hopefully see the destruction of Israel.

one seriously important aspect of ideology to figure out (in case it hasn't been noticed or realized) is that human beings are totally contradictory and ideology is loving irrational

and indeed, this is one of the very few advantages a marxist has: the awareness of the ideological condition, that affects themselves as well. reason is a paltry god, it gets totally loving trounced by ideology, which is why nobody gets in a political debate and suddenly "oh wow I totally see it now" and renounces their position and ideas. nobody is won through that way

like well said here,

just skip past any idea of rational discourse and see what's been conveyed through the lines, the vast majority of people think about those situations in terms of absolutist moralism (which in endemic to neoliberalism) and regard those matters simply as "good" versus "evil". People really want to be with the good guys, which is why squaring the circle happens. By taking out from that framing and showing stuff as historical circumstance, that no such conflict is possible because people ultimately cannot be reduced into simply good or bad, is an effective way to foster consciousness

I don't know, I became a Marxist-Leninist through reasoned debate. It was because an anarchist was trying to read Lenin as a misunderstood anarchist, so I read Lenin and realised they were a loving idiot and Lenin was right.

There were reports a few days ago that they'd domestically produced a few anti-air batteries, don't know whether they could take out an F-16, but maybe if the pilot was extremely complacent and used to complete impunity?

I can't imagine it's one they weren't expecting? They were probably a lot more successful than expected, but Israeli terror bombing is always on the cards. If they miscalculated at all it was probably in how little Israel gave a gently caress about killing hostages?

Yeah, but as America and Israel are finding out, it can be an extremely powerful tool to invent reality, but it exhausts itself very quickly once you have built up the delusion. This is why Trots used to make for good neo-cons, they had a basic grasp of the tools necessary to analyse social reality and twist it towards evil purposes. Now no one in power has ever read Marx, let alone any Marxists. It's Rand, Evola or functional illiteracy all the way down.
