Terrorist state. How can anyone think any differently now?
Not a very important footnote, but it’s they/he for them.She was about to receive the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought
Great post, it required a lot of mental gymnastics to defend it at the start but now even some of the most staunch Israel supporters are running out of ideas. If the shooting of unarmed people waving white flags won't convince people the IOF are deliberately killing civilians nothing will.The thread is one-sided because the situation on the ground is one-sided right now. Throughout October and November, the thread was full of pro-Israel or Israel-friendly posts arguing that they were trying to minimize civilian casualties, had not committed any atrocities, and were behaving quite well all things considered. That position is untenable today so the argument is no longer made.
One Israeli poster here said that after October 7th, they just wanted security and didn't care what it took. Another one said that a round of ethnic cleansing was the best option for everyone. These are not far-right politicians.
Thanks for the heads-up. A blunder on my part and I've edited my post.Not a very important footnote, but it’s they/he for them.
I’m really not a fan of their work overall but the article in New Yorker was brilliant.
Horrifying, but hardly a surprise action by the terrorist army.IDF spokesperson announces that three Israeli hostages had escaped their captivity, but were shot and killed by the IDF. I think that reveals an extraordinary amount regarding the extent of precautions taken by the IDF to protect civilians.

And all the big movements / mass deportation of peoples he mentioned came after decades (sometimes centuries) of grievances and conflict. He made it sound like it happened in a couple of months and only palestinians are stubborn enough to keep this going for decades.You’re being sarcastic.. or ironic?
The whataboutism… the wooden delivery… the sycophantic false laughing.
Muslims had an empire hundreds of years ago, so Israels actions are ok? Is that his rationale? Ireland “let it go” so Palestine should?
Watched (out of interest), turned off after four minutes. Something I could imagine Netanyahu saying to the UN …. on a good day
Imagine telling the Ukrainians to just suck it up and accept the Russian invasion as a fact.It's easy to take up the 'just suck it up' attitude when you are the benefactor.
The IDF killed his wife, daughter, son and grandson.
I mean it explains why they've gone with the blank slate approach of levelling the city to the ground, as well as destroying institutions like university, mosques, schools and hospitals. Rendering the whole area inhabitable and near impossible for Palestinians (who have no right of return) to return to of course makes these sorts of plans "not a dream".This can’t be true surely? Because Israel isn’t interested in land grabs, it’s all about Hamas then Palestinians can return?
“‘A house on the beach is not a dream’. An Israeli real estate company specialising in Jewish settlements in the West Bank is planning for the day after. This is beyond aspirational, their staff is already working on plans.”

The thing with we are fighting Hamas shite is it’s only for the dumbest western audiences. Where as in Israel the average Israeli agrees with everything the IDF and in some cases think the IDF isn’t going far enough.Let me guess, /Israel will say these folks are Hamas...
MP live-tweeting a massacre with zero response. Churchill crying tears of joy, looking at the state he wanted, and how far it's come. Finally a lively terror among the natives
Chris Cuomo explains what never again means.

You keep bringing those morons who try to tell us how Israel is doing very little and they should do more and kill more palestanians. Do you know why was this clown fired from CNN?
Honestly, not even the dumbest are buying into this lately from what I can see. Israelis are probably sadly brainwashed. I cannot imagine how anyone could think that it's ok for civilians to be killed - and so horribly. I hope to God I never am that brainwashed.The thing with we are fighting Hamas shite is it’s only for the dumbest western audiences.

Insane society.
I still randomly get annoyed remembering Michael Collins had the chance to punch Churchill in the head and didn’t take it.
