So according to the Israeli government, Hamas is both strong and weak at the same time?
They're defeated, we're just going to have to keep fighting them for years

The quote
In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

When observed, they function more like a wave. When unobserved. They're more of a particle
something something umberto eco ur-facism
Here’s an idea: maybe if Gaza wasn’t being turned into a genocidal open air prison by Israel, young Palestinian men wouldn’t be spurred to violence.
Boys who are now in middle school will still fight in the Gaza Strip
Hmmmmm, I wonder why that’s going to happen.
Where is their middle school?!
I always forget how early on that was, it was May 1st, 2003 when he did that stunt lmao
He wasn't wrong. The Halliburton and PMC contracts were already signed.
all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
Hamas are defeated
Fighting against Hamas will take time
"Mission accomplished!" Israeli style
Bibi has been running this bullshit about Hamas militant "battalions" being eliminated everywhere except the south for weeks now. It's obvious propaganda to ease the minds of liberals "ok ok just let him bomb them super hard again and then it'll be over guys!"
Meanwhile while he's claiming victory the IOF loses a dozen soldiers in one fight a few days ago. That surely spells out "we are in control of this territory now." Surely they aren't fully and completely full of shit and lying... again.
Like who the fuck even believes a word from any Israeli gov or military person at this point. Literally everything the fuckers say is projection or a lie
"From a military point of view Hamas is defeated. Its fighters are eliminated or in hiding," he said
He then ducked and half crouched, his eyes darting around, ears straining to hear the slightest sound of a resistance fighter's foot
"Middle school" must be a euphemism for their age group because I doubt there are many actually standing middle schools to go to
Fuck Israel.
Didn't four IOF bozos get got like yesterday?
Oh it was a lot more than 4:

Israeli War Ministry issues statement it is not owned, denies reports it is shrinking into corn cob
