[@sonyjoseph5426]

I remember in the early days of this conflict , Israel said one of its goal is to deradicalize Gaza .. that was a ruse for annihilation

[@DerAptrgangr]

Definitely. "Deradicalizing" Palestinians would be as easy as treating them like human fucking beings. Meanwhile, do you see how Zionists indoctrinate their children into hatred and violence against the people they are oppressing? To say that Palestinians need to be "deradicalized" is, you're right, a dog whistle for annihilation.

[@Uncanny_Mountain]

Same as 2001, they roll out a narrative designed to placate until after the fact, after all, they've never been held to account But once that ruse is exposed, everything they do comes into question, and without trust they have no power, that's the gamble tyrants make And precisely the calculation Hamas made with Oct

There's a couple Frontline documentaries about Netanyahu you should watch. I'm on my phone or I'd give you a link on KZbin. Netanyahu's War is one of them. He always wanted a war against Gaza.
