Isnotrealis seem a little bit cooked. What is success to them? The complete annihilation of the enemy? They for sure were successful in being a murderous callous bunch of terrorists like always but even worse. So what changed? How can these people not see that you won't achieve peace by unlimited violence?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

I think it's a consequence of their self-mythologization and national identity. A huge part of Israeli identity and education will have"victories like the 6 day war or the Yom Kippur war at its base: they justify the siege mentality and the outsized presence of the military in civilian life and culture. I believe the average Israeli drinks the kool-aid that their military is so overpowered it will win any conflict decisively in a short time, and their military doctrine shows that, too.
So when a conflict isn't clearly decided quickly and in Israel's favor with minimal consequences to the civilian population, it's a failure to them because that's not how the IDF is supposed to work.
The extreme paranoia required to sustain their society was always going to eat at it from the inside. They are witnessing their actions not leading to desired outcomes and them having no backup plan. Their only other plans were what to do after this plan succeeded.
Well you'd need to present some political or economic benefits to the population make them think they won. What did they get out of the gaza or lebanon or syrian campaigns?
Besides a small amount of highly contested and destroyed territory in gaza and south lebanon, or the overthrow of assad (the latter which is honestly a pretty big win for the zionists), they don't have much to show for the past 3 uears of war and economic disruption.
It's like if a gang of burglars tried to rob a house. They planned a quick in and out operation to break get away with the contents of the safe but the home owner started shooting back now 2 of the burglars are dead. Their only accomplishment after a night of shoot outs is that they occupied the living room. The whole gang is falling apart as they realise that they won't be getting enough dough from this op to get a meaningful return after the split and expenses.
I mean those disgusting and illegal land grabs is really all they could get, isn't it? It is also their goal to grab as much land as they can.
Workers believing they will benefit from war (endless on top of that) is laughable but that's what propaganda from childhood on will do to a mf'er.
The zionists have 3 main aims
- Land grabs. This they got to an extent but the land they grabbed is volatile and they're eating missiles
- Cheap wage-slave and chattle-slave labor. For the zionist petty bourgeoise any gains on this front have been soured by the economic disruptions and closures of their businesses and the mobilisation of reserves.
- Political victories over hamas, hezbollah, ansarallah, the baathists and most importantly Iran. We all know how this has been going.
just keep opening fronts. Bound to win one!
