The reason I was so wary about Israel invading Gaza with the aim of totally eliminating Hamas was certainly not out of any sympathy for Hamas, which has been a curse on the Palestinian people even more than on Israel. It was out of a deep concern that Israel was acting out of blind rage, aiming at an unattainable goal — wiping Hamas from the face of the earth as one of its ministers advocated — and with no plan for the morning after.
In doing so Israel could get stuck in Gaza forever — owning all its pathologies and having to govern its more than two million people amid a humanitarian crisis, and even worse, discrediting the very Israeli military that it was trying to restore Israelis’ trust in.
Quite honestly, I thought back to America after 9/11. And I asked myself, what do I wish I had done more of before we launched two wars of revenge and transformation in Afghanistan and Iraq for which they and we paid a huge price?

Blowback happens as a result of rampant and bloody imperialism. What hapenned on October the 7th was in the Israeli's government's hands.

Do you think Netanyahu intentionally let down Israel's defenses?
@9HD6VM55mos5MO
Israel should not attack Gaza to this point, although i understand their reasons.

They just need to finish the job. Chase those coward rats out of their tunnels with as little civilian casualties as possible.
If Hammas would come out to street level and fight man to man this would end tomorrow. But they won’t. They’ll hide behind their people like pussies
@GiddyPear5mos5MO
This is not a blind revenge campaign, it is a campaign to eliminate the military capabilities of Hamas and end its regime, a necessary threshold condition for the communities' consent to return to the Gaza envelope (permanent ethnic cleansing of an entire area of land of Jews>>
@IndependenceMikey5mos5MO
The only lesson Israel needs to learn is that it is an ethnic nationalist fascist Zionist state that has expelled more than 700,000 people and occupies more than 6 million more in its attempt to create a Jewish state.
@Activi5tRat5mos5MO
Hamas is “barbaric” and “medieval” - in contrast to the state violence and cruelties which are presumably more “civilized”?
