Gotta say, an ouroboros of "what if we responded to war crimes with our own war crimes" does not lead to great results.

IDF soldier: "What, so if the Hamas raid had crossed the border in ambulances instead of technicals, we'd have had to sit on our hands while they murdered us??"

*uses an advanced drone to track a Gaza ambulance in hi-res 8k, watching it pick up injured children from the unrecognizable devastation of their home, then make its way to the front gates of a hospital overwhelmed with abject human suffering*

IDF soldier: "Would you constrain our ability to defend ourselves from extermination??!"

*reaches lazily toward a big red button, waiting for responders to rush towards the incoming emergency vehicle before pressing it. Outside the hospital, the lives of the last members of a once large family are snuffed out, alongside those desperately trying to save them*

IDF soldier: "These barbarians only understand violence."

Israel's neighbours are all a stiff breeze away from being failed states, there is zero risk of Israel having to fight a conventional war and in fact it is far more likely that the trend of normalisation continues after current events settle down because the primary foreign policy goal of everyone in the region is dealing with the psychotic theocracy that's handing out weapons to every reactionary terrorist group it can find.

You do know that most Israelis are of middle eastern descent, right?

Trying to frame an ethno-religious conflict on the other side of the world from an American context in the name of anti-Imperialism is like peak irony.

e: Let me preempt a bunch of posts here by explicitly saying that I'm taking issue with the extremely reductionist and American-centric assertion that all Israelis are white. I'm not responding to the semen thing, which I agree is a very weird thing for an official government account to be posting.

Oh good

I think that's a pretty narrow view on the realpolitik side of it.

While not exactly friendly, Israel still offers a counterbalance to Syrian government forces, and generally does not harbor the geopolitical opponents of US and EU. It also has provided plenty of testing for weapon systems in combat against its neighbors, and can be trusted to an extent to not sell that poo poo forward. That's just to name a few.

Maybe the easiest way to get generic diversity is to not have anti-miscegenation laws and welcome immigrants from populations outside your narrow conception of "acceptable" DNA.

Nah, why not just march in the streets with tiki torches chanting "Arabs will not replace us" and collect dead soldiers' pure balls?

Shim just shimposts, and there are sometimes nuggets of truth or enlightenment in the post. This is the way of things, as it has been, as it shall be in the future.

Shim's advice to the wife of an intel geek in the air force years back was legendary, and also 100% factual for how a typical SCIF rat's career goes.

I'm not watching that video, but seeing Jake Shields, MMA fighter of some minor note, on that list makes me think that these people aren't overly influential. Or so I hope.
