Global Politics - General Chat

Presence of people like Greta is why it doesn't get bombed or why the people onboard won't face more severe consequences - PR damage control. They will be deported to their countries quietly, and the world will move on while the genocide unfolds.

All attempts are rationalizing the Israeli response with October 7 should be met with revulsion on the simple basis of armed resistance being the right of every occupied people. It's not worth engaging with any bootlickers on their own terms.

Yeah, not just everyone has a prerecorded message that gets sent to major news outlets upon being kidnapped by a death squad. The only thing the Flotilla managed to accomplish will be that those onboard will most likely report what they experienced in Israeli detention. Liberals/Westerners clearly don't give a fuck about the brown people experiencing it, but they'll listen to some other white people. But even then, they will not have experienced the same prison system that the average Palestinian experiences; nowhere close.

Tangentially related to what you said about every occupied peoples having the right to armed resistance, at this point, the inevitable is falling into place. Hamas is still fighting and evolving their tactics. The war will be reaching two years soon and still they are planning and executing ambushes. The actual fighting takes place purely on their terms, like France/US in Vietnam, all Israel can do is bomb the shit out of everything and hope that kills some men with guns. But they still come out of the tunnels, and they always do so when Israel isn't looking. They are not running out of ammunition, and they are not running out of fighters. In the recent rounds of negotiations, Hamas said they're willing to give up governance but will not disarm. They are becoming the de facto state military of the Palestinian people, and there's not a damn thing Israel can do about it. 

The Viet Minh becomes the North Vietnamese Army before our eyes, but the road to Victory Day is absolutely fucking excruciating.
