Ultranationalist Israeli politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, wore golden noose-shaped lapel pins to a meeting on Monday in order to show their “commitment” to advancing a widely condemned bill to mandate the death penalty for “terrorists” who kill Israelis.

I wonder what Israel’s long-term plan is. Because if they achieve their objective and wipe out Gaza then they’re going to be international pariahs for pretty much the rest of history.

The Israeli government have to know this, civilians living in Israel must know this, yet here we are.
With enough American money, anything is possible. The propaganda printers will go brrrr
Not really. They have a pretty good stranglehold on dictating what others get to think.
The British and Americans have also committed a bunch of war crimes and exterminations of people and are not pariahs. My expectation is, sadly, that nothing will meaningfully happen if they were to “achieve their objective”.
Rhodesia didn’t make it though, so there’s some precedent for real-world hope too, even though I largely agree with you.
They’re banking on making people believe the Palestinians don’t deserve to live, and that enough people simply won’t give half a shit about a bunch of brown people dying. Coupled with plenty in the west hating muslims because of american wars of aggression and propaganda, I think they’ll succeed. Even if in say 3 months, the whole palestinian area is simply wiped out, bulldosed into a giant gravel parking lot, not enough people will give a shit, because they just don’t give a shit about other people.
They’re probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.
I should print free Palestine stickers to put on israel products in stores 🤔
Inkjet printers can be traced if the feds really wanted to (probably very unlikely just for stickers though).
pootin only wishes he could hold a candle to their ability to gather kompromat. nothing will change until politicians are void of greed.
so, never
