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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

with every month that passes, it's seeming more and more likely that this colonial project exists entirely by the constant injection of material supports from the metropole. logistics, security, weapons and cash, sure, but also credit and banking relations.
I think BDS or even a slight drawing down of support for the Israeli government from all limbs of the western hegemony represents an existential threat to its continued existence and the entire thing would fold in on itself rapidly as the various grifters and opportunists feeding and siphoning off wealth from the capital faucet will rapidly bleed out the project and vanish in the commotion of its implosion.
Is this not known fact? The other thing to me is, if Israel lost particularly its military protection and support, I feel like some of its neighbours might be inclined to do an intervention of sorts.
i didn't mean like "if israeli lost all of its military support" or "lost its access to western banking infrastructure"... i mean like, "if there was a credible perception that, instead of material support climbing by double digits, the next 2 quarters will have a level of support stays level or declines by 0.5%"
like, not a hitting the brakes or even taking the foot off the gas. i mean, just a slight reduction in the rate of acceleration, and the ship sinks.
theres also the reinjection of those resources back into the metropole through things like AIPAC
