I mean, I get that, but it seems a particularly dangerous and idiotic thing to do when the militants that you’re antagonizing are, like, a few dozen or so km away from your national fucking capital

Nobody said fascists were smart. They think short-term and end at that.

I don't think they actually think.

Like if we look historically at fascist actions, don't they usually end up with multiple options and almost always choose the one that sounds powerful over actually being powerful?

Fascism is all about appearance, so yeah it makes sense. Doesn't make them less dangerous, but at least you can be certain they'll horribly shoot themselves in the foot sooner or later.

They literally think they're going to kill everyone in Gaza and get away with it. They don't care.

I bet for that kind of people it doesnt look so dangerous and idiotic if it's someone else's blood that gets spilled.
