Well, so apparently the first possibility I noted is not the case, and the early reports weren’t just yet again blowing smoke.
So we’re down to two alternatives - it’s a legitimate deal that cedes at least some significant Palestinian autonomy, in which case Netanyahu will, as he already has in the past, sabotage it, or it’s just a long term con job that will leave enough of an Israeli presence that they can shift to West Bank style incremental conquest.
As if the oligarchs give a shit about international law enforcement…
Huh… that’s disappointing.
It was entirely predictable from Vichy Twitter and Meta, but I didn’t expect lemmy - even .world - to kowtow.
Oh gee, would you look at that - the country that’s so eager to torture Palestinians that they actually had riots when someone dared to say that their soldiers should not be allowed to rape prisoners, and that has been criticized for consistently targeting and destroying hospitals and thereby guaranteeing the deaths of that many more Palestinians, has suddenly trotted out some prisoner to try to make the case targeting hospitals is justified.
How… convenient.
It’s not so much what Trump will let them get away with, but what Putin will let Trump let them get away with.
Just left to his own devices, Trump, strongman sycophant that he is, would let Netanyahu get away with anything. But there isn’t enough Israeli support for continuing to just grind away at murdering Gazans, which is why Netanyahu tried to expand it out to a regional war. And the problem with that is that any regional war is going to draw Iran in, and Iran is allied with Russia, so Putin isn’t going to stand for that. And Trump is Putin’s lapdog.
