Honestly I think it would be leagues more unpopular in America if Hamas videos come out of troops eating sniper rounds than in Israel when IDF troops were eating them. This war would be shockingly unpopular and I’m certain he knows it and won’t chance it.
I can think of another way but I’m not typing it
censorship
I wish I believed it was censorship; the way they talked, it was complicity.
Anyone here think journalists will finally be allowed in to extensively study everything, or do you think Israel will still prevent them going in? I can’t imagine Israel would be stupid enough to allow in journalists from around the world to confirm that yes, this was a genocide, especially not with an arrest warrant already out on Netanyahu and the defense minister.
Gonna be honest, despite me having no faith in Israel, I think they genuinely did not want this ceasefire in the first place unlike in Lebanon; I still think everything will be bad going forward, but at least there will probably be an end to the missile strikes. The fact that they’re doing this ceasefire tells me that for some reason they’re scared of Trump (and I genuinely don’t know why; he honestly does not strike me as anti-Israel in the slightest).
There will definitely be zero restitution, and I think even if Trump is going to put his foot down on this ceasefire, even he won’t demand restitution.
Genuinely speaking, Palestine has lost so much compared to what they’ve gained (the eyes and ears of many around the globe), but Israel has certainly lost any goodwill they had except with Germany and the American government (I’d like to think most of us are firmly pro-Palestine at this point, or at least not pro-Israel). I think any government that continues to support Israel at this point are at least under no illusion that they’re helping some poor, weak country that needs salvation (and by illusion, I mean they can’t even lie to themselves anymore about it).
To be honest I had my own doubts even when I posted that. The IDF have been very thorough in their murder of journalists, so there’s going to be a huge lack of footage (and tiktok is apparently censoring pro-Palestine content).
