          It’s exactly what it says on the tin. It’s evil. They know it’s evil, but they throw up their hands and say, “it is what it is” and engage in evil. The evil has become so banal that it is a matter of course to practice it.

      It will be a limited ground incursion, in the sense that Israel will completely blanket the area with bombs before doing anything on the ground. And they can do it forever, since the US will just give them more bombs.

    The best way to de-escalate a situation that could blow up into a regional war is… uh… Assassinating the leader of one of the main belligerents and then doing a ground invasion. Yes.

        honestly netanyahu made an explicit declaration of intent to ethnically cleanse north gaza; and this may well be both international and logistical cover to bring heavy equipment to the north of gaza and carry that out. They are now in a 21/2-front war and may well have triggered WW3 but nobody ever claimed the zionists were well-grounded in their decisionmaking.

    There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.

    On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.

    Also, from what I’ve heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

      They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.

      Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.

        Iran didn’t really retaliate against israel killing the leader of hamas on iranian soil, apparently this was because israel proposed that if they didn’t retaliate there would be a ceasefire in gaza, a proposal which iran seemed to have accepted, since hezbollah probably knew about this deal it’s speculated that they might’ve relaxed security a bit and left israel an opening to attack them and, of course, there’s no ceasefire in gaza so they lied. And iran believed
