  • That's rather obviously been one of Israel's primary goals from the start - to destroy as much infrastructure as possible, to create as much hardship as possible for the Palestinians.

    And rather obviously, that's in service to their longer term goal of taking full and direct control of Gaza. They want to render it uninhabitable, so that they can cast their planned occupation as a practical or even humanitarian necessity, rather than what it in fact is - brazen, and brazenly illegal, conquest.

    The central point to keep in mind as far as all of that goes is that Netanyahu and his hard-right cronies have, at every turn, entirely rejected a two-state solution and any form of Palestinian autonomy. To just the degree necessary to maintain a PR facade, they claim that conquest is not their intent, but if it's not going to be a two-state solution, conquest is literally the only alternative, so it is and can only be their actual goal, and their claims to the contrary are and can only be quite simply lies.

    And not coincidentally, the wholesale destruction of Gazan infrastructure in which Israel has self-evidently engaged fits right in with that interpretation.

  • I think it's long past time for a serious international conversation about profoundly mentally ill politicians.

  • ...Iron Truth volunteers conflating Palestinian advocacy with material support for Hamas...

    So Iron Truth lies.

    How unsurprisingly Orwellian...

  • And predictably, this article isn't about actual anti-semitism at all. It's just another cynical and dishonest attempt to conflate the boycott of Israeli products in response to Israeli government policies with actual anti-semitism.

  • Even when I can see the ROI (I'm sure the money the Israeli government intends to leech from US taxpayers far outstrips the amount they'll spend to support politicians who can be counted on to vote in favor of it), I just can't understand the amorality of it all.

    Are they all psychopaths? That's the conclusion I keep coming back to - that they're just psychologically defective, such that they just don't have any empathy or restraint or sense of shame - that they're as morally void as serial killers, and just exercise their evil in a somewhat different way.

    No other explanation makes any sense. Anyone with even the tiniest shred of common decency would be unlikely to choose to do the things they do, and unable to live with themselves if they did, so it must be the case that they don't even have a shred of decency - that they're literal psychopaths.

    I can't even imagine what it must be like to be that twisted and broken.

  • That entire article is nauseating.

    A fucking group of psychopaths spending hundreds of millions of dollars in order to try to skew the elections so that they can more comfortably pursue their preferred pastimes of murdering Palestinian civilians, stealing their land and slurping up US taxpayer money.

    How does anyone even live like that? Seriously - that's the thing I most don't get. How could any human being be such a reprehensible piece of shit that they can actually get up in the morning and spend their day trying to manipulate an election because they don't want the person who criticizes them for murdering civilians to win - they want to be able to murder civilians in peace? How do these people even live with themselves?

  • Actually, I think it's amusingly perfect that the tankies were hyperfocused on conjectural threats posed by capitalists and entirely missed the much more imminent threat posed by a government.
