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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

MODERATORS
It's a question of explicitness, both of expression and in thought.
The out-and-out fascists have always being saying this.
More polite nationalists, conservatives, and the more reptilian liberals who were previously quiet on that front are now frothing in bloodlust like clockwork.
The liberals who present themselves more as progressives, and self-described soc-dems, include many people who, consciously, were not thinking this. What is significant, though I agree that it is not at all surprising, is that their conscious, explicit position is now aligning with the rest of the mainstream Israeli far-right view.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
It's also worth bearing in mind that while Israel does not have a massive population, and relies fundamentally on its air-power, once it has fully mobilized it's society for war, which is striking me as a distinct near possibility, it will not take them very long to be ready to launch a massive ground operation, leading to urban warfare in one of the poorest areas of of the world with high population density and a very young population of increasingly desperate, traumatized, people, notably young men.
Now that there are countless videos circulating of Israeli hostages being beaten, soldiers begging for their lives next to the bodies of other soldiers, videos of women being put into cars and reports of not only killing but torture and sexual violence, the Israeli point of view is rapidly radicalizing further and is only going to continue to do so.
