Netanyahu says ‘victory’ over Hamas is in sight. The data tells a different story
Hamas is resurging in areas of Gaza “cleared” by Israel, forensic analyses show. Experts say the bombing campaign has accelerated their comeback.
Israel has been victorious in radicalizing at least two generations of Palestinians, eroding global support for Israel, and igniting a regrettable wave of anti-Semitic sentiment.
Good job Bibi!
I mean they were doing a good job radicalizing Palestinians before the genocide, but yeah.
News: “If Hamas is nearly defeated, and you know how to end the war, does that mean you’ll stop killing innocent Palestinians?”
Bibi: “actually quite the opposite; that just means we can build more settlements on the land we bombed into oblivion while displacing more and repeating a vicious cycle!”
News: “ah, good strategy! Happy to hear of your good work.”
I can’t.
that's (CNN) equating zionism with being Jewish which is RACIST
Not just CNN, several US based Jewish heritage organizations, both militant politically and simply community based, have come out saying that zionism and judaism are intrinsically implied on each other, thus making anti zionism, anti semitism.
Which is bullshit of course, but in their eagerness to be able to pull the anti semitism card, they're tying every Jew in their communities to the horrendous shame of what's happening in Palestine.
Not just the Palestinians. For historical parallel, Saladin was Kurdish. Now we don't know where the next person to liberate Palestine will come from, but he may not be Palestinian or born yet. Israel is in a long war with the entire region, and will only end the same way it ended for the Franks.
The, "victory" is not defeating Hamas. It's destroying the entire infrastructure of Palestine - making it impossible for Palestinians to live in. Thus moving forward with the destruction of Al-Aqsa mosque and then building their third temple to usher in their, "messiah".
Ultimately, Greater Israel is the goal.
Exactly, the whole "war" against Hamas is just a fig leaf for the genocide they're conducting by making Gaza uninhabitable.
Yep the goal is to make Gaza uninhabitable so that Palestinians will either leave or die.
I still don't get how a war keeps Netanyahu in power. I get October 7th and going after Hamas but isn't this enough? Have they even thought about who will step up to the mantle when Hamas is rremoved? Doesn't seem like this so called war is really thought out by anybody. And I maybe the only one that does it like WTF is Israel doing?
Wars allow people to justify their power grab.
Look at how this all started.
Israel is one of the major intelligence hub in the world. So how did the October 7 attack happen if that was true?
Netanyahu allowed it. Look at the Wikipedia page. He knew. He sacrificed his own people and allowed it to happen.
Egypt said it warned Israel days before the attack that "an explosion of the situation [was] coming, and very soon, and it would be big."[81] Israel denied receiving such a warning,[82] although Michael McCaul, Chairman of the US House Foreign Relations Committee, said that warnings were given three days before the attack.[83]
That's two countries saying Israel knew days before the attack.
According to The New York Times, Israeli officials had obtained detailed attack plans more than a year before the attack.
The New York Times, who spread propaganda for Israel, said Israel knew.
The Times reported, "Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision." According to The Times, the document was widely circulated among Israeli military and intelligence leadership, who largely dismissed the plan as beyond Hamas's capabilities, though it was unclear whether the political leadership was informed.
The Times is a British newspaper. They said the IDF knew and information stopped somewhere in the chain of command. That's two newspapers outside their country that knew the attack was going to happen.
According to a BBC investigation, surveillance reports suggested that Hamas was planning a significant operation against Israel, but senior IDF officers repeatedly ignored the warnings.[99]
BBC is one of biggest news sources in the world. That's three news sources outside Israel that knew more than one of top intelligence sources in the world. Mossad had spies in Hamas and some how thousands of fighters crossed the border.
Also @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world made a post with an article about how power hungry Netanyahu is. https://lemmy.ca/post/26088769/10725251
He can postpone the elections and the corruption cases for as long as the war is ongoing
uhh the IDF is losing to (the militant wing of) Hamas. Netanyahu will be sent to jail for reasons (corruption and fraud I think) which is why he seeks the US to fight a regional war for them. so basically 9/11 all over again.
That is what Taiwan's minority DPP president William Lai (two sons are already US citizens) has been doing, like a chihuahua, barking at CCP whenever DPP polls drop. But do think you're US’s deep state, not realizing you’re just a pawn? Most young voters do not fight for DPP for DPP’s previous presient Tsai has already made TW living hell with housing price/salary ratio doubling to 20, only next to Hong Kong.
Taiwan is not going to let the CPC take over, give it up already. Why spend so much effort over "face" anyway? It's basically not even for the face of anyone under 70. The CPC should apologize to Taiwanese for letting the KMT oppress Taiwanese and not finishing them off or locking them up or whatever. House prices are an issue of fiat currency literally being infinite while desirable land is finite. I think the only realistic thing that can be done is to appropriate ALL KMT land (a lot of it is in prime locations and they stole it all at gunpoint anyway) and turn it into public housing.
Reminds me of that Iraqi official who, during Desert Storm, kept saying victory was imminent right up the moment the allied tanks came rolling up the street.
Ah, man, Baghdad Bob! I haven't thought about that guy in a while. He was good entertainment.
From what I have read, this war keeps dragging on because Israel can't agree on what to do after the fighting stops. Hamas obviously hasn't been destroyed and Israel either can't or won't do what is needed to destroy them, yet they don't want to agree to a cease fire either.
They can destroy Hamas by giving them no reason to fight. Remove the settlements from the West Bank and end the blockade on Gaza.
