Fucking idiots. Absolute bunker rats with limited vision. Instead of trying to reach out, they assume the worst case, and just goes all out without even escalation.
You have a large jihadist faction literally telling them that “hello, we don’t want to wage war with you, you helped us a lot with Hezbollah and we are grateful for that; we don’t mind peace”. And then they enforce terrible relations with this. It’s not as if they could not do this later, if the new Syrian government makes hostile moves. But they do this before hostility, which is a pretty remarkable chess move.
Netanyahou is rapidly becoming a living symbol of hate and destruction. He can’t live without it, and wants to impose it everywhere.
He isn’t retarded, he doesn’t miscalculate, it’s totally deliberate, just as he deliberately destroyed the entirety of Gaza, and a good part of Lebanon. As with all people similarly possessed by demonic forces, it will probably end very badly for him and his accomplices, but I fear that a lot more people in Israel and elsewhere will be drawn into the spiral of destruction he has created, before he gets destructed himself.
By saying that I think that the decisions are “mentally helpless”, I meant that I don’t agree that they are in the strategic interest of Israel. And I read a lot of Israeli journalists and even some political scientists who are (or at least were) very understanding of the Gaza campaign, but who now are questioning “why are we doing this, it will not endanger us” and etc.
It’s a bit strange. I don’t think all of this would have been done if the Israeli government looked differently, because as much as we focus on Netanyahu (because he is PM and is fronting it), he has some even worse, certainly more extreme, parties and party leaders in his absurd semi-fascist government that he has to please.
But it’s awful and it’s fucked up. But yes, I do read a lot of israelis seem to be questioning this. Others are of course right behind it, because Nationalism and etc.
The campaign in Lebanon however, I think that was very sound strategically. It was also a great success, both militarily and most importantly, politically. A rare success for Israel. They won a short victorious war. And Hezbollah technically started it.
But Gaza and now Syria, my god, they are so…I don’t have words for the Masada bunker mentality of these short sighted people.
