Israel finds large tunnel adjacent to Gaza border, raising new questions about prewar intelligence
The Israeli military says it has excavated a large tunnel shaft in Gaza close to a major crossing with Israel.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's starting to become obvious that Israel intentionally ignored the warning signs, wanting Hamas to go ham, and thereby justify a genocide in retaliation.
Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
Israel is clearly having intelligence failures, their troops are less than stellarly trained, which they were always pretty highly touted, now their military looks like amateur hour when compared to any leading NATO nations troops, there's no excuse for all of the specifically journalist casualties, never-the-less all of the civilian casualties, pure amateur hour bullshit.
This is what happens when corrupt fascist conservative morons gain power, they believe their own hype, because they're usually pretty narcissistic, they have next to no empathy or compassion save when it benefits them, and they ruin the institutions and structures they come to be in charge of and they let these structures and organizations fall to ruin because they're too caught up in their nationalism to admit that they need to improve and adapt, while also being too corrupt to properly fund.
You could argue Hanlons razor or you could believe that there has been a dehumanization campaign going on in Israel for many years. Palestinians are looked on as less than human (how many times have we heard terms like barbarians and monsters being used), pests that need to be eradicated.
The IDF is one of the best funded and trained militaries in the world. I have a hard time believing that they are as incompetent as people are playing them up to be.
Incompetence can be willful though. When you tell your military to shoot at everything they see without identifying targets (which is basically Israeli doctrine), it's leadership Incompetence turned into doctrine.
This wouldn't fly at this scale in any other developed military.
what "dehumanization campaign"? what "looked on as less than human"? i have no clue what ur talking about, and if a few people are of that opinion, i can argue that a few people in USA are literal neo-nazis yet i dont say USA is the epitome of nazism.
I would love to attribute the actions of IDF to stupidity (or both at least) but then I'd be ignoring the decades of evil they did.
