As many as 80% of Israelis believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must take responsibility for the security failures exposed by the devastating Oct. 7 assault on Israeli by Hamas, a poll in the Ma'ariv newspaper showed on Friday.
There is a certain contingent on the Israeli far-right who are quite comfortable pushing Palestinians into the arms of Hamas and Iran, to better justify harsher repression. If a few hundred hippies in kibbutzim and music festivals have to die, then such is the price of revealing how inhuman (/s should be implied, but I’ll make it clear) the Palestinians are.
I mean, I get that, but it seems a particularly dangerous and idiotic thing to do when the militants that you’re antagonizing are, like, a few dozen or so km away from your national fucking capital
Like if we look historically at fascist actions, don’t they usually end up with multiple options and almost always choose the one that sounds powerful over actually being powerful?

Fascism is all about appearance, so yeah it makes sense. Doesn’t make them less dangerous, but at least you can be certain they’ll horribly shoot themselves in the foot sooner or later.

Nobody said fascists were smart. They think short-term and end at that.
I don’t think they actually think.

They literally think they’re going to kill everyone in Gaza and get away with it. They don’t care.
I bet for that kind of people it doesnt look so dangerous and idiotic if it’s someone else’s blood that gets spilled.
