Netanyahu says ‘victory’ over Hamas is in sight. The data tells a different story
Hamas is resurging in areas of Gaza “cleared” by Israel, forensic analyses show. Experts say the bombing campaign has accelerated their comeback.
You're viewing a single thread.
I still don't get how a war keeps Netanyahu in power. I get October 7th and going after Hamas but isn't this enough? Have they even thought about who will step up to the mantle when Hamas is rremoved? Doesn't seem like this so called war is really thought out by anybody. And I maybe the only one that does it like WTF is Israel doing?
Wars allow people to justify their power grab.
Look at how this all started.
Israel is one of the major intelligence hub in the world. So how did the October 7 attack happen if that was true?
Netanyahu allowed it. Look at the Wikipedia page. He knew. He sacrificed his own people and allowed it to happen.
Egypt said it warned Israel days before the attack that "an explosion of the situation [was] coming, and very soon, and it would be big."[81] Israel denied receiving such a warning,[82] although Michael McCaul, Chairman of the US House Foreign Relations Committee, said that warnings were given three days before the attack.[83]
That's two countries saying Israel knew days before the attack.
According to The New York Times, Israeli officials had obtained detailed attack plans more than a year before the attack.
The New York Times, who spread propaganda for Israel, said Israel knew.
The Times reported, "Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision." According to The Times, the document was widely circulated among Israeli military and intelligence leadership, who largely dismissed the plan as beyond Hamas's capabilities, though it was unclear whether the political leadership was informed.
The Times is a British newspaper. They said the IDF knew and information stopped somewhere in the chain of command. That's two newspapers outside their country that knew the attack was going to happen.
According to a BBC investigation, surveillance reports suggested that Hamas was planning a significant operation against Israel, but senior IDF officers repeatedly ignored the warnings.[99]
BBC is one of biggest news sources in the world. That's three news sources outside Israel that knew more than one of top intelligence sources in the world. Mossad had spies in Hamas and some how thousands of fighters crossed the border.
Also @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world made a post with an article about how power hungry Netanyahu is. https://lemmy.ca/post/26088769/10725251
He can postpone the elections and the corruption cases for as long as the war is ongoing
uhh the IDF is losing to (the militant wing of) Hamas. Netanyahu will be sent to jail for reasons (corruption and fraud I think) which is why he seeks the US to fight a regional war for them. so basically 9/11 all over again.
That is what Taiwan's minority DPP president William Lai (two sons are already US citizens) has been doing, like a chihuahua, barking at CCP whenever DPP polls drop. But do think you're US’s deep state, not realizing you’re just a pawn? Most young voters do not fight for DPP for DPP’s previous presient Tsai has already made TW living hell with housing price/salary ratio doubling to 20, only next to Hong Kong.
Taiwan is not going to let the CPC take over, give it up already. Why spend so much effort over "face" anyway? It's basically not even for the face of anyone under 70. The CPC should apologize to Taiwanese for letting the KMT oppress Taiwanese and not finishing them off or locking them up or whatever. House prices are an issue of fiat currency literally being infinite while desirable land is finite. I think the only realistic thing that can be done is to appropriate ALL KMT land (a lot of it is in prime locations and they stole it all at gunpoint anyway) and turn it into public housing.
Backgroung info here:
Taiwan's housing prices have increased by 80% in the 8 years since previous DPP party’s Tsai administration. The current housing price/salary ratio is 20, only lower than that of Hong Kong (but the minimum wage is less than 1/2 of Hong Kong's), and the vast majority of citizens cannot afford to buy a house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDE2Pto-EX8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4UMerjkBB4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-GfrIM_zyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coLr9mJXNPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coLr9mJXNPI
Or search in YT “taiwan housing price for foreigners”
After 8 years of being the central government, corrupted DPP only got 40% of votes in the 2024 election (president votes more than half -- 50.x% -- only in 1 city out of 16, and got only 4 cities/counties mayors out of 16 in 2022 and 2018 city/county elections). DPP voters are mostly lower educated, over 65 years old ,or live in the agricultural or heavy-industral southern part of Taiwan. The opposition parties are KMT and TPP. KMT voters are mostly over-50-year-of-age mid-to-higher educated. TPP voters are mostly higher educated young people (TW has way more than enough universities), and TPP got the most votes in Taiwan’s Silicon Valley city, Hsinchu. DPP gave away TSMC’s technology to other countries and declined to buy BNT vacs in order to undermine the lives of the capitol and the adjcent city which did not vote favorably for DPP. All this farce ended when DPP’s previous President Tsai yielded to the pressure from top executives of TSMC, Foxconn and Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation (a.k.a lots of voters. Buddism is a major religion is East Asia). So judge for yourself. [Google “wikileaks Taiwan” to know now minority (40% of votes) ruling party DPP’s politicians have been using anti-China and independence (which US does not allow) as apparatus for election purposes (Taiwan’s Netanyahu?). The opposition parties are trying the pass a law to criminalize government officials making perjury before the present parliament -- which have been often common practices by DPP for the past 8 years.
