This is Israel's "business as usual" stuff. Mowing the lawn, fake ceasefire, distraction, expansion and greater Israel project let's go! stuff. Stretch goal is to make Iran a failed state. Primary goal is distraction from the very real annexation of Palestinian and Lebanese territories, one war crime at a time.

- karim79 7mo agoIsrael hates negotiations. Netanyahu funded Hamas. And you're writing comedy and I just can't be bothered. You got me. No you didn't. Only a Zionist would call equal rights and the right to self-determination a "maximalist" position. Answer me one thing. Who will be the people who flow into Israel while the whole world sees the ugly state it has become? A weirdly supremacist ethno-state is not a solution. It might seem like a good idea but I don't think it has legs to be honest.
- cm2187 7mo ago> "Netanyahu funded Hamas" I see this claim repeated over and over. You should be aware that it is false. As far as I am aware, Israel never funded Hamas. Israel allowed Qatari money to the Gaza authority to pay for civil servants, humanitarian aid and basic services, while it was run by Hamas.
- iamacyborg 7mo ago> Only a Zionist would call equal rights and the right to self-determination a "maximalist" position. To be clear, this was not Hamas’ position during negotiations.
- boxed 7mo ago> Only a Zionist would call equal rights and the right to self-determination a "maximalist" position They had equal rights and self-determination in Gaza. For decades. They never built a society from it, instead begging the international community for food, and then starting a war they knew they would lose, only for the PR points of losing badly.

- kdheiwns 7mo agoWhere's a blockaded tiny slice of coastal land no more than a few miles wide with no water and no arable land supposed to even get food? Nobody is convinced by the "they're just beggars" racist stuff, man. Those poor people were actively expelled from their homes and continuously oppressed and have had their new homes flattened countless times. The fact those poor people still survive and try to rebuild each and every time shows that those people work hard.
- boxed 7mo agoIsrael managed to build agriculture there, that's why they left all that agricultural gear that Hamas repurposed to making rockets. > Nobody is convinced by the "they're just beggars" racist stuff, man. Nobody is convinced by the "you're just racist" stuff, man.
- kdheiwns 7mo agoIt's physically impossible for land that small to grow enough food to provide for their population. Those people were driven from their land and forced into an incredibly tiny and unsustainable space. And the whole "They never built a society from it" thing is what the most extreme racists and slave traffickers said about Africans so they could justify their treatment of them. It's dehumanizing and absolutely disgusting way to talk about a group of human beings and people should be shamed for saying such things.
- 7952 7mo agoIsrael are unwilling or unable to hold to agreements and that makes them an unreliable partner. The same has been true of America with Iran. Both Iran and America also have a maximalist approach in terms of use of remote weapons and reluctance to accept casualties. That limits the effectiveness of "might makes right". Massively more so in the larger Iran. And whilst Gaza might seem like a collosal defeat it could be seen in a more positive light in a culture that views sacrifice as noble. Again same could be true of Iran.

- Hikikomori 7mo agoNot true. Hamas wanted to do hostage exchange for Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons and truce within the first week. Israel refused.
- boxed 7mo agoOther way around.

- hackable_sand 7mo agoYour arguments directly conflict
- ZeroGravitas 7mo agoPeople really love this "might makes right" stuff till it's their civilians being killed in large numbers, then suddenly it's a problem.

- throwaw12 7mo ago> reason and evidence It was upvoted by so many people actually because of reason and evidence. Also, please stop using race card, no one is blaming a race, people are pointing out to the country who is carrying out these cruelties and majority of government supporting it and majority of army is executing the commands

- helo4362 7mo agoWhat option is there for israel.
- andy_ppp 7mo agoFair. Clearly they need the land back GOD gave them 3000 years ago.
- helo4362 7mo agoI mean realistically what peaceful propsals are there. Every neighbour country is threating what else they can do.
- nielsbot 7mo agoThe best plan is one democratic state from the river to the sea for all peoples governed by the Israel government. > Every neighbour country is threating what else they can do. See above. When Israel finally stops trying to be a Jewish supremacist state things can finally start getting better.
- Matl 7mo agoHas it ever entered your mind that maybe it is actually Israel that is threatening every other country?

- throawayonthe 7mo agoWhat do you mean?
- amunozo 7mo agoWhat are you trying to say? Stop justifying Israel's actions as inevitable. They are not.
- anovikov 7mo agoI mean, other way around is if "Palestine" advances on Israel.
- amunozo 7mo agoIf it is to recover what Israel occupied illegally, good. If Palestine did what Israel is doing, that would be bad. What happened in October the 7th was also horrible and condemned. We really need to deescalate the whole situation and stop the violence. Every one of these violent actions (in which Israel is the main perpetrator by far), not only create suffering and deaths in the short term, but makes a possible solution harder and harder.

- nixon_why69 7mo agoThere's lots of violence towards Palestinians ongoing in both the West Bank and Gaza. While a million(!!) are newly homeless in Lebanon. The complete lack of regard for non-Israeli life says more than any propaganda ever could.

- Rover222 7mo agoRidiculous take. Israel wants a secular Iran, not a failed state. Most Iranians don’t hate Israel. They hate the Islamic regime. But westerners just looove to support all Iranian proxies these days.
- GordonS 7mo agoIsrael does want a failed state - they want to balkanise Iran, letting their ISIS head-choppers, the Uigher terrorists etc at it. See Syria and how that's going.
