Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The main use for these decisions right now is to hold libs' feet to the fire. Oh, you're Mr. Rules Based International Order? You think we're the good guys? You think this is a complicated, messy situation but whaddayagonna do? Here's an objective, prestigious international observer saying it's genocide.
Short of anything really cool happening, this is going to end the way apartheid South Africa ended: gradual economic and political isolation plus on-the-ground resistance resulting in some version of the Israeli government deciding the current course is untenable.
Will the US let the Isntreali government decide that though? The whitehouse seems to be extremely vociferous in its backing of israel, way more than apartheid South Africa.
the US' current blank cheque support can't rescue the zionist project, what further escalation is left?
Openly sending US troops in? Crashing Ospreys but in Isntreal?
the IOF can't coordinate not shooting their own guys, the US isn't going to put their troops in that line of fire, and if they did they'd be pretty useless
You think they won't do it anyway though? If there were no Israel, America would have to invent one?
cant invent things twice. Syria and Iraq are examples of what a US effort 'from scratch' looks like, and US power has only declined since
Putting pro-Palestine young people in the US into work camps to revitalize our “defense” industry? Seizing those same people’s assets (and their parents’ assets) to recruit fresh settlers with extra financial rewards?
These steps aren’t materially more helpful than today’s blank check but they would send a powerful message of unwavering commitment to the Zionist colony.
i think you'd need to send prisoners as the colonists Australia-style. Israel is bleeding settlers and i don't think they'll be more disposed as Israel becomes even more of a pariah and its conditions decline.
