    I don’t believe those articles saying that Israel have been defeated, while Palestine people still are dying and the West Bank is still being stolen. When Palestine came back to it’s pre 1947 territory, we can talk about how Israel have been defeated.

    I can’t read the article as for some reason the archive website hates my vpn. I was able to read enough to grok it’s a pretty piss-poor take though.

    Whining about “not completing the objective” is just gaslighting what the objective was/is, and complaining about being "internationally shunned"for committing fuggen genocide causes me to believe (at my most charitible) that this author hasn’t grasped the horror of what his country is still engaged in

    The first casualty of war is truth. The author finally learned that. And then they learned that patriotism is a force for evil, at least often enough that you should fear it. What they didn’t say, and I think they are afraid to admit, is that many political and military leaders will always advocate for continued violence and genocide.

    (And this is not a problem specific to Israel. You see this in war zones all over the world.)
