Rolling ever closer to a wider regional war
This is a revolutionary and decolonial war that we can win. I support the struggle to eradicate Israel
On the one hand, I agree that someone has to stop Israel from continuing to genocide the Palestinians because they're not going to stop themselves. On the other hand, I have very little hope that a regional war will actually make things better
Short term it will likely be worse, long term peace is only possible with the destruction of the genocidal ethnostate
the Nazi concentration camps only really became systematic death camps as the war took a turn for the worse for the Germans on the Eastern Front, before that they were primarily labor camps. Does this mean the Soviets should not have pushed into Germany and destroyed the Nazi state? Allow them to keep permanent labor camps of jews and communist dissidents? Historical justice demands victory and unconditional surrender of our enemies. Anything less is a failure of justice. We are not responsible for the reactionary nature of capitalists, they do that themselves.
how do you think israel is eradicated without a regional war?
They have nukes and I fully believe they're bloodthirsty enough to launch them.
So? So because they have nukes we all have to sit by as the colonize and genocide forever? That's really the plan? Fuck them I would rather the world burn
Plan? I don't have a plan. I'm just a dummy on the internet, seeing death and destruction on the horizon for a whole lot of people. Again:
Lots of wars, including decolonial and revolutionary ones, need to happen and when they start in earnest, need our full support not dooming woe is me stuff. The moment the US involves itself in this regional war we need to bring hell upon the state as a fifth column, prepare for that don't sit around dreading the future that is inevitable
Imagining myself as a 5th columnist is very funny, so thanks for that mood booster I guess
it's the season for treason
If they're stupid enough to use nukes, they can say goodbye to their nuclear plants, including one that's placed right at the center of the Zionist entity, and their desalination plants. Their entire settler-colony will be Chernobyled with no ability to produce drinkable water.
Well damn, someone better do something about that.
It's a tiny country surrounded by enemies with more than enough missiles to reach MAD with Israel. Israel is not viable in a regional war the US can't defend their reactors as clearly and politely indicated by Iran's warning shot after the Damascus embassy bombing. Israel will be the most politely destroyed country in history I think.
Samson Option
If Israel is holding the world hostage with nukes while genociding and colonizing everyone around them I prefer we call their bluff and force them to nuke. The alternative is surrender
doesn't matter, they can't defend their nuclear reactors. Hezbollah in particular has a truly mind boggling number of missiles ready to go. they are in a mutually assured destruction situation
That's assuming their nukes even work. We've seen that they're a paper tiger in many ways.
So?
