    Okay we all knew Israel was genuinely a fascist hellscape, but I honestly wouldn’t have guessed they’d be open firing on their own civilians, such as at the kibbutz where survivors were talking about how the IDF just began a firefight with the hostages between them and Hamas.

    I knew Israeli authorities were absolutely fine killing every last Palestinian if they thought it would get them even one Hamas guy, but I honestly thought they wouldn’t risk their own people. I understood in theory that this is normal practice for fascists, but I never really expected it to play out this way in the modern day; I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (as it makes more and more sense): Israel is a snapshot of Europe circa 1930’s. This is probably exactly what people are talking about when they say they want to make America great again.

      Think of all the cop shooting cases in the US where they’ll blame the dead robbers over the dead civilians down the road caught in a pray and spray barrage of police fire. Lots of those precincts are trained by Israeli instructors and bring in that mentality. That’s my hypothesis.
