I’m really tired/pissed about this narrative/framing. Everything Israel does, it does with explicit support of the US.

Yes, and the problem is that a non-normal relationship with a state keeps helping the lunatics in power. A more collaborative and constructive relationship might also help ease the internal situation in Iran regarding the rights of women etc. Instead of this, the lunatics in power on both sides go to the extremes, because they know that it will help them keep in power.
Nothing helped cementing the Ayatollah’s power better than Iraq’s aggression at the time.

I have a feeling that the Israel retaliation to the Iran attack is going to be initiated on Oct 7th.

I would be incredibly surprised if that was not the case.

Today marks one year since the start of the war and genocide in Gaza.
According to Gaza’s ministry of health:
41,870 people have been killed
97,116 people have been wounded
Over 10,000 people are still under the rubble
For Gazans? Anniversary air raid sirens and more bombs…

Here’s an idea, Joe: stop supplying the chief warmongers with weapons, finance and political support.

This is interesting. I heard yesterday that Israel had lost more than 50k people last year, who had permanently moved away. That might not look enormous at first sight, but most of them are among the elite: doctors, engineers, tech reps etc.
They simply have had enough of seeing their democratic rights drained away by a disingenuous government, and having to live within a permanent war zone. One can bet that if the same situation continues, the exodus among this section of the population will even accelerate.

An exodus of the educated and more progressive elements of Israeli society is just what the current leadership wants. A more malleable/gullible populace will keep them in power.

I do think a large chunk of them would be dual citizens too.

Sure, that’s what Likoud and Netanyahou did when they opened the doors to the ultra-zionist elements coming from Russia and other countries in eastern Europe, promising them new lands to colonize. That provoked a massive shift in political opinions (more religious-leaning than before, with that supremacist touch about it).
Still, when a country starts losing its elite, it does never end well. Netanyahou presumably doesn’t care one bit though. He’ll be dead when things start going truly pear-shaped for Israel. Until then, it’s all about staying in power and not being jailed.

Yup. I know about a German/Israelian doctor who moved to Israel with his family around ten years ago. Now, he’s back in Germany. He doesn’t want his family to live with that permanent threat above their heads.

The UN is now reporting that the IDF is deliberately targeting its peacekeepers in Lebanon.
What will it take for the US to rein in these cunts?

Ah, but don’t you know that these UN peacekeepers are as antisemitic as the UNRWA? Why should they be treated differently?

A Harris victory and a total reset of the whole US / Israel relationship. Before any of that potentially happening , Netanyahu knows he’s got another four weeks to basically do whatever he wants , and if Trump prevails another four years on top.
