Every time my inner lib tries to convince me that maybe I can spare a little sympathy for Israelis, rest assured Israelis will never fail to remind me that no, Israelis in fact do not deserve any sympathy whatsoever. I really need to kill my inner lib already.

God damn I really want to avoid saying things that can come off as anti-Semitic. Fuck, come the fuck on, how do you read shit like this and look at the shit they’re doing and not think of them as some mindless savage horde bent on nothing but violence and destruction!? Just pure malice incarnate.

That’s fucking right

“No longer justified”

“No longer Justified”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO LONGER!? SO IT WAS JUSTIFIED BEFORE HUH!?

Yemen’s already striking at Israel though. This is more about those countries that keep tut-tuting Israel while materially doing nothing to stop them, even when Israel is actively threatening them.

Feels like an incident that would spawn a meme.

Erm. Awkward!

Damn he’s fast.

Proof that the shooting was an act of self-defense.

Not gonna shed tears over the two who were shot, but I’m kind of worried about the repercussions of this.

I’d be surprised if this doesn’t end up happening.

I’m almost morbidly curious to see how far they’re allowed to take it. Can they just start sending soldiers overseas to invade and occupy western states with no resistance? Can they just start launching nukes at China or Russia with no response? Can they murder a president on live television and mock the entire population of a country with no repercussions?

It’s baffling. It’s not like Israel is like, the sole supplier of something important. Literally the only thing of value they produce is weapons and they’re far from the only game in town.

That gets me the most. What the fuck do you even get from them that you can’t get anywhere else?

Hell they don’t even have good media. Their entertainment comes solely from watching Palestinian children suffer and die. Outside of that, all they have is Raid: Shadow Legends (which is garbage). But that’s literally it!

Israeli forces stationed at Jenin refugee camp have fired live ammunition at a diplomatic delegation as it was entering the camp to view the living conditions of the refugees.

The diplomats that visited the camp on Wednesday were from Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, France, India, Japan, Jordan, Lithuania, Mexico Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Sri Lanka, Spain, Turkey, the EU, and the UK, along with representatives from several other countries and journalists accompanying them.

The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates had organized the visit for the international community to witness the Israeli regime’s ongoing aggression against the Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank.

The Ministry had arranged a similar visit to Tulkarem city and the refugee camp in the northern West Bank last week.

WAFA news agency reported that the delegation wanted to enter the camp from the eastern gate, where the regime has installed an iron gate, when the soldiers fired live ammunition directly and heavily at the diplomats and their entourage.

In a statement, the Ministry said, “This aggressive act constitutes a flagrant and serious violation of the provisions of international law and the most basic rules of diplomatic relations stipulated in the 1961 Vienna Convention, which guarantees protection and immunity for diplomatic missions and delegations.”

After the incident, the delegation visited the Jenin Governorate headquarters and reviewed the situation in the camp and the city.

The camp governor, Mohammed Jarrar, explained in detail the city’s disastrous economic condition, the war’s impact on its facilities, and the destruction of infrastructure.

More importantly, he described the extremely inhumane circumstances under which 22,000 Palestinians have been forced to abandon their homes and live in the tyrannical conditions the Israeli regime has forced upon them.

Later, the Ministry condemned the assault by the occupation forces on the diplomatic delegation invited by the Palestinian Authority.

Since October 7, 2023, when the Israeli regime began its genocidal war against Gaza, the number of attacks by settlers and occupation forces on the Palestinians of the Occupied West Bank has increased dramatically.

The Israeli regime has also killed at least 1,000 Palestinians and abducted 7,000 in the occupied West Bank.

Israel’s going to literally be firing on your fucking diplomats and you’re still not going to back off from them. There’s just absolutely no limit to anything they can do.

So this is how it ends? With almost every state valuing Israel too much to ever oppose their genocide in any meaningful way? They’re just going to keep backing them until they slowly grind Palestinians down to nothing, and then shrug their shoulders going “What’s a Palestine?”

Is Israel the fucking lynchpin or load bearer to the world economy or something? Come the fuck on. Are they really that important?

I swear if Israel actually starts rapidly collapsing every state that can barely manage the bare minimum for Palestinians will give Israel everything they have, crippling their own economies even, just to keep Israel afloat. That’s what I expect now.

Civility delenda est

Satanyahu will most likely not get it, because Israel itself is already a malignant tumor.

Came back to some good news.

I hope he has visions of all the Palestinian children he helped Israel murder as he lays dying in pain.

This feels like a point that’s already been re-iterated over and over already.

Mostly the parts about a revolution not falling into your lap, and how there is no organized left in the imperial core. I’ve already heard it before.

Thing is, repeating this isn’t going to get people to go “Oh my god, I’ve had it all wrong all along!” and spur them to go outside to form a vanguard party or anything like that. How do you even make an attempt without knowing what you’re supposed to do? Especially in these conditions?

This is also kind of the reason I believe people tend to fall into adventurism, it’s only the thing they can think of because of how direct it is. The only way they can feel like they can exert some sort of power or control.

And admittedly I don’t have plans to do much, if anything at all. The obvious answer is because I am lazy and selfish. My excuses are I still have too much to lose, too comfortable, and still have obligations to others. That and also not knowing what to do, but that’s a smaller reason compared to the rest.

(Addition: Also I don’t think you actually answered the question of “why these countries are even pretending to care”)

We can only wait for the next crisis of capitalism to erupt. But even if it does happen tomorrow, is anyone even prepared to take action?

If your posts are any indication, the answer to that is no. Precisely why I’ve been losing my will to live.

And if everything has gone according to the U.S. plan, if the U.S. is and always has been 100 steps ahead of everyone else, what’s the point of caring anymore? It’d be more feasible to just disappear and let everything burn.
