I feel like I need to completely tune out or I’m gonna actually lose it man. Glad I have therapy this afternoon lol. I’m not sure how anyone with any humanity can live through this without reaching a mental breaking point. It’s all I can do to prevent myself from fedposting, that’s where my head is at lol.

Just remember: they aren't finally telling the truth they're admitting they can't lie about it anymore. This is a good sign. This is a sign of weakness. They're pivoting so as to not appear weak. They're taking up a new defensive posture. I'm not trying to sound overly optimistic - they will likely be very successful with their pivot. They've done the pivot before on things like waterboarding or the 2003 Iraq war. But the fact that they are pivoting shows that they are unnerved.

Great comment. This is what I’m trying to hang on to. That ultimately I believe this is the beginning of the end of Israel. But while that’s the ultimate goal, some god damn justice for the crimes that have been committed would be nice.

They will be less successful with this pivot than they've been with every one beforehand. Look at the opinion polling - without a single American troop killed, the opposition to this war is greater than it was for any previous war where Precious American Lives were at stake. That suggests a pretty dramatic break in the American tolerance for imperial crimes even when nothing is at stake for them or their communities personally. Trust in the media and the political class are at an all-time low.
