Disunity and disarray inside Israel’s war machine | The Listening Post

As Israel's bombing of Gaza intensifies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a rift in his war cabinet and growing international pressure.
And yet, this is a war that the vast majority of Israelis continue to support - thanks in no small part to one-sided coverage by Israeli media.

[@h131_1]

It's a strange realization knowing that if the US hadn't caused so much atrocity, I quite literally would not exist due to their coordinated, senseless, violent, war tactics that feeds their greed. The US empire needs to be dismantled and it needs to stop creating more people born in situations that cause developmental trauma across the globe due to post-war displacement.

[@RevTox]

Oh, sure, none of those attacked Americans first or supported/hid those who attacked us? In Vietnam, we tried to save their people from communism. In Iraq, we tried to overthrow an evil dictator who used chemical weapons on his civilians. I can agree that maybe we would have been better off not getting involved halfway around the world or more with those two. Also, our CIA can be very evil, often works against our own civilians, and put Saddam in power in Iraq while causing trouble in South America (making banana republics). Still, I'm not sure we could ever compete with the evil of Palestinians. They always attack women, children, and hospitals while hiding behind their own women, children and hospitals, just hoping for collateral damage they can blame on Israel to get sympathy and support from gullible people who fall for it all. Also, they dance in the streets to celebrate 9-11 attacks on our civilians. Maybe we should be just as trashy and dance in the streets while they get delivered their fate.
