If you told me there was a country out there that was bombing civilians, staging ethnic cleansing in its own borders and doing so while its leader was facing trials for bribery, fraud and corruption, I'd say you were talking about a real banana republic and I'd be right.

It's become customary to kill a bunch of Palestinians every few years for fighting against land left, but this latest seems to be more of a wag the dog situation for Netanyahu.

Agreed. Pretty horrifying brand of cynicism when you can stoke up support for yourself by initiating a fresh conflict and killing a few hundred people.

What's really interesting is seeing how the usual Hasbara bullshit from Israel and its proxies isn't really landing anymore: mass demonstrations in cities across the world, social media tides seem solidly in the pro-Palestine camp. I wonder if the BLM protests have changed the way people look at oppression and settler colonialism outside of our own context.
