The ‘second Nakba’ government seizes its moment
The ‘second Nakba’ government seizes its moment
Israeli leaders are explicit about reusing the methods of 1948 in Gaza. But what didn’t quell the Palestinians then will not do so now.
+972 Magazine is run by a joint effort between Palestinian and Israeli journalists. They have been covering this conflict for years, so if you want to know more, it is highly advisable to check them out.

Absolutely love the link dump. More posts need to be like this honestly.
Thank you. I try, I really do. All this reading and posting is exhausting, but I know it is nothing to what these journalists go through as they spread their truth to this world.
I am really happy to hear this feedback because it let's me know that what little I do is not in vain. I usually use the megathread to keep my compilations up to date if you're interested.
Swag overload
Interesting but it makes me apprehensive about the way liberals will cope with these events.
Someone pointed out to me they will just act like Netanyahu was Israeli Trump and this is an aberration of democracy (not to say that is The Take about Trump either lol)
It's probably a mix. To my knowledge, there are three broad categories we can place Israeli citizens in regarding Netanyahu and Zionism:
- Pro-Netanyahu / Right Wing Zionists
- Anti-Netanyahu / Any wing Zionists
- Anti-Netanyahu Anti-Zionists
To be clear for anyone else reading this: Zionism is the idea that there needs to be an ethno-state in the occupied territories with Jewish supremacy. Anyone that believes in a single state where everyone has equal rights even if it means that Palestinians become a majority is not a Zionist. If this was not the case, Zionists would not have been systematically expelling Palestinians to ensure a Jewish majority and supremacy.
Group #1 and group #2 make up the majority of Israeli citizens. Group #3 is a minority that is often branded traitorous. Just because Netanyahu killed democracy in some aspects, it does not mean that he is going against what the majority of Israeli citizens want with regards to Palestinians because they are either Zionists or indifferent. They might not want the Palestinians to be violently bombed and instead might opt for control or slow silent deaths through starvation or occupation. What they definitely do not want is for 5 million Palestinians to join them and become citizens with equal rights.

At this point some of the cooler heads in intelligence or ex spooks who retired to commentariat understand their actions are self-destructive, too noisy. One guy said they should never have drawn attention to the hostages, just killed them.
