The prime minister said he won’t allow the Palestinian Authority to take over Gaza, his sharpest comments yet against the White House plan for after the war.
So even tho the PA is basically a puppet already, they’d rather Gaza be in complete chaos so they can directly control it. And they’re going to slowly chip away at the border and absorb it.
They’ll continue to make Gaza a living hell, and then when people rebel, they’ll use it as justification for more war crimes and taking a little more land.
The cycle will likely continue until they control all of Gaza, then they’ll work on the rest of Palestine.
The whole time the chaos and violence they’re creating will be used to keep far right assholes like Netanyahu in power.
The only way it stops is if Israelis start voting for different people while they’re still allowed to vote. Because any day now Netanyahu can claim elections need to be suspended due to the war, and who knows if voting will ever come back after that.
The simple truth is Israel can do all this without America’s money. So if the choice is solidifying power permanently, or using more advanced weapons to commit their genocides…
They can accomplish what they’re doing now with much less money.
What would actually give them pause is flat out saying:
You’re starting WW3 against everyone’s advice, so if you do it, it’s you against the world
Israel isn’t afraid of Palestine, they’re afraid of all the other countries that are only refusing to help Palestinians because they know the US would ally with Israel in war.
I’d support threats to Israel that if they don’t immediately stop what they’re doing, the USA (my country) will invade and occupy their borders. I feel so helpless.
it would be an incredibly poor decision for US to invade israel. our heavy hand in this situation has already done enough damage. tbh no matter what happens from here, the seeds of violence, resentment and revenge planted deep within the remaining youthful population will ensure the cycle persists. just as we are seeing now, the oppressed, when given the opportunity to become the oppressor, will often feel justified in doing so. i don’t have answers but it’s pretty obvious that Netanyahu’s long established iron-fist policy in regards to the treatment of palestinians is and has always amounted to a powder keg. i am ashamed at my country (also US) for many things, but our mixed messaging, ignorant elevation of the zionist ideology and luke warm action (at best) on preventing the mass slaughter of innocent human beings has elevated that shame to disgust.
Tie aid to this and watch him flip
He won’t.
They want to keep Palestine fractured.

Have you been in the military? If so, then your suggestion baffles me even more.
The switch for the nukes.
