Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don't believe it until I see it. Remember how the Lebanon ceasefire went and every other "oh there's a ceasefire agreement!" Run went. Israel always fucks it up.

Could just be a political posturing for Trump's inauguration. I hope it sticks but I have no faith in dealing with the Zionazis.

Thank you comrade Trump!

Feeling very cautiously optimistic. Alhamdulillah. The resistance has achieved something truly incredible and I think regardless of whatever happens in the next few years, the Zionist entity has been dealt a fatal blow.

... the Zionist entity has been dealt a fatal blow

tiktok is getting banned; .world is getting american agitprop'ed into defederation; and legacy media is telling people that trump won because democrats abondoned the working class to hide the fact that they didn't win because of the genocide .... it sure doesn't feel like it.

The Iron Dome has never looked weaker than the day of Operation True Promise II. The Zionists got crushed in Lebanon despite their radio attack and the decapitation. They galvanized anti-zionist sentiment across the entire region and beyond, while achieving very little strategically. Their most important achievements were the decapitations, and I think Hamas is organized well enough that the loss of the martyrs shouldn't impede their operations in the long term. Nasrallah's assassination is much more concerning to me, but I think weighing it against:

  • The failed ground incursion in Lebanon
  • Iron Dome's failures against hypersonic missiles from Iran and Ansarallah
  • Massive, massive loss of morale among the IDF and other Israeli settlers
  • Strengthening of the axis of resistance

I seriously think Israel isn't long for this world unless they're ready to make meaningful concessions to the Palestinians.

Massive, massive loss of morale among the IDF and other Israeli settlers

Is this the case? Curious what you've seen that points to this, I had the impression that Israelis were happy about what has been happening

Something like 26% of isntrealis live in abject poverty currently.

Settler-colonialism only works if the settlers get something out of it, and it seems like they're about to implode from within.

The Ultra-Orthodox have never been in more acute conflict with the state over whether to get drafted. There were massive protests, remember the ones where they stormed the courthouse trying to protect the soldiers who had committed SA? And the other one where they were protesting the draft? The huge Haifa evacuations, all the terror from the Palestine 2 missiles sporadically coming down thanks to Yemen, and multiply that by 100 for operation True Promise II.

To be fair to the Zionists, which we absolutely shouldn't be, their probably biggest win in this time was Syria but they could've probably had that without the genocide.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

because democrats abondoned the working class to hide the fact that they didn't win because of the genocide

Promoting and enabling genocide is anti-working class...

Yeah, but usa media doesn't work off the marxist definition of working class and also doesn't treat foreign workers as if they share their class with american workers. They feel no confusion at defending a genocide while also believing that's happening to a completely distinct group from "the working class" (white rural blue-collar etc americans)
