Slava Palestine!
Don’t bring these dumb analogies to this conflict. While Israel definitely acts towards Palestine the way Russia acts towards its former colonies, Hamas itself acts like Russian backed “people’s republic”.
This will lead to radicalization of Israel’s politics. The date was chosen to have the maximum chance of shutting down any positive resolution around Palestine.
In other words, this is not an attempt to free Palestine, it’s an attempt to set the world on fire.
I have a hard time believing that the Israeli intelligence community didn't see this coming. Mossad created the fucking Stuxned and can't even see bunch of militants coming to their borders. The only person benefitting from this is Netanyahu as he may use this war as an excuse to further consolidate his power.
Or they could have, I don't know, agreed to a two state solution? If Palestine stops fighting, Israel will colonize them through their settlements. They'll probably colonize them even if they fight, and the West will look back on the destruction of Palestine as a tragic oopsie that "we can't do anything about now." The blame for the violence is on Israel at this point, as the current government antagonizes Palestinians for what little land they still control. At the same time, Bibi works to take away the voice of even Israelis, turning what should be a more secular democracy into a theocratic dictatorship.
Absolutely not.
That situation is way more complex than the one in Ukraine.
........ thats a very incorrect attempt at sparknotes
Don't their borders overlap?
