The nearly two-month ceasefire in Gaza has been shattered as Israel carries out a second day of intense airstrikes. At least 27 Palestinians were killed in overnight strikes Tuesday night. This comes a day after Israel killed over 400 Palestinians, including at least 174 children. The bombing is “the most savage attack that Gaza has witnessed in over a year,” says Muhammad Shehada, a writer and analyst from Gaza. He says the renewed assault in Gaza is linked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal and political challenges at home. “When you’re in crisis, nothing would unite your government, nothing would suppress any sort of protest or opposition, more than killing Palestinians.”
Not at all defending Israel s actions, but it’s really easy to radicalize a group when all of the nations that surround you want to wipe your nation off the map. It really isn’t a surprise how many people are okay with the genocide in that context. The whole situation is a shit show.
I’d wager that if you want to improve your relations with your neighbors, perhaps setting their tool sheds on fire and killing their pets over and over and over and over and over and over while screaming the whole time “I’M DEFENDING MYSELF” isn’t the best course. But hey, I’m not a diplomat.
Nothing demonic about it unfortunately, just plain old brainwashed radicalised humans…
