“Death Penalty Bill Mandates Execution for Palestinians and Imprisonment for Israelis for Identical Offenses
Legal and security experts who took part in a Knesset panel on the legislation – including representatives of the Justice Ministry and the Defense Ministry – opposed the bill's wording. They warned that several of its provisions are unlawful and carry 'grave international implications'”
> “Upon this a question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved?
> It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with.”
The moralizers of our age seem to have forgotten Machiavelli's timeless lessons. Luckily for Israel, Bibi was paying attention in class.
“The United States cannot match the volume of China’s lending or its funding for ports and railways, but it does not need to. Instead, it can offer a combination of security guarantees, intelligence cooperation, defense technology, and alliances that is without rival.”
Perhaps the most delusional statement ever!
See Afghanistan and Ukraine for recent proof of that.
Afganistan had a civil war, it's different case. Ukraine never had any US security guarantees, Ukraine was not even a partner country or in the sphere of interests. Japan and S. Korea have binding security guarantees.
What is remarkable is how no one has commented just how much of this article was written by ChatGPT. One excerpt stands out in particular: "Yahya Sinwar and the Hamas leadership sought to halt the momentum of Israel–Saudi normalization and derail the wider regional realignment taking shape around the Abraham Accords. Their fear was not simply Israeli weakness but Israeli integration. Their objective was to break it."
Besides the obvious "not just/simply x, but y" that has come to dominate 50% of the writing on this website, iIt seems the LLM got confused here, as it should say "Israeli strength" for the sentence to make any sense at all. Why would Sinwar fear "Israeli weakness"? Lmao
Such a precise and accurate analysis of realignment taking place around the Tel-Aviv axis. I’m so glad to see these ‘spiritually Israeli’ states finally being recognised for their cooperation with the apartheid state. Thanks for this refreshing take, well worth a read.
Most of what you say comes from leftist media, and CNN is a leftist channel, but ignoring the genocide of Christians in Nigeria by the Boko Haram terrorist group is normal. Those people aren't human, but Gazans are human, and Sudanese aren't human, but Gazans are human. This is the logic of the Islamist left.
I found your piece more convincing in terms of strategic usefulness rather Israel being popular. Israel can only move towards normalising relations with regimes that are undemocratic precisely because it is so unpopular in the region.
Israel has always been unpopular in the region, regardless of what it does, or doesn't do. Basically, that ought to give it a free hand, though it restrains itself.
Israel did not "carpet bomb" anything. They could have, but didn't. Had they actually done that, the Gaza war would have ended two years ago with many more Palestinian deaths and fewer dead Israeli soldiers. But they didn't. Public opinion is indeed against Israel more than it would be if it weren't for so many disingenuous propagandists like you.
Repeating lies doesn't make them true. I think anyone who reads this substack will see your dishonesty (or profound ignorance). It is Hamas that wants civilian death and destruction - it's their entire war plan, just as Israel wants to limit that damage as much as possible. Your last paragraph is particularly pathetic.
Bloomberg concludes that about 40% of all buildings in the Gaza Strip are still intact. That’s not the result of carpet bombing like in WW2, which was meant to destroy whole downtowns without caring about military targets. That’s the result of precise strikes against terror infrastructure.
Carpet bombing, a WW2 term, refers to massive drops of bombs to saturate an area.
Any images of Gaza show only buildings destroyed, with no bomb craters in roads, empty lots or fields as would happen with carpet bombing.
This shows Israel used precision bombing, not carpet bombing, to hit specific buildings. This is corroborated by the large numbers of JDAM and SPICE bomb guidance kits used, which would have been unnecessary in a carpet bombing campaign.
Israeli military intelligence demonstrated its prowess in the campaigns against Hezbollah, Yemen and Iran, so it's highly likely that the buildings hit were credible military targets. This is in full conformance with Article 51 of the Geneva Conventions, which says only that any harm to civilians should not exceed the expected military advantage of the operation.
The only barbarism was exhibited by Palestinian terrorists and civilians on Oct 7, who murdered or kidnapped 100% of the Israeli civilians they found. Had Israel comported itself that way, there could have been a genocide in Gaza.
To its great credit, the IDF was both morally and militarily far superior to its adversaries. May it always be so!
The negativity of US media on Israel is remarkable.

Fuck Israel
Fuck off moron.
I simply can’t and don’t agree with your conclusion.
Where?

Sounds like $8b of yearly savings.

ur a weak genocidal baby killer retard
palestine will be free
hop in the ovens
Interesting that antisemitic bots always have bad orthography
that's because if they aren't bots, they're ignorant morons, and if they are bots, they're designed by ignorant morons.
You think it was a bot? I was taking comfort in what moronic enemies we are up against.
