- Israel’s army is quite small and can’t draw on a large population to replace losses
- It can’t use its entire army to combat Hamas, because it needs to maintain a strong presence along its northern border to hold off Hezbollah, a militia that is far stronger, far better equipped and more experienced than Hamas. It also can’t withdraw all troops needed to keep the West Bank from rising up.
- Israeli soldiers receive poor training. (They’re too busy dancing on Tik Tok like the IDF soldiers in this picture)
- People with dual citizenship are flying in from all over the world to ‘defend’ Israel, but these people are not soldiers and are usually not in the right physical condition to go running around in full battle gear with 40 to 60 pounds on their back with Hamas fighters popping up out of tunnels and targeting them
- Urban warfare is one of the hardest challenges any army can face and the Israeli army has no experience in this. We have seen in Ukraine what a meat grinder a ruined city can become for the attackers
- By bombing Gaza the Israeli is creating the perfect citadel for the defenders. A city full of rubble is easier to defend than an intact city. The rubble makes it harder for tanks to move around, the city becomes a maze and defenders can take cover in the rubble, the destroyed layout of the city also makes it harder for the attackers to orient themselves
- when Israel needs to mobilize a substantial segment of its population its economy suffers, Israel can’t handle a long drawn out war
- the conflict makes it impossible for thousands of Palestinian workers that are a key component of the Israeli economy – in construction for example – to work in Israel. Israel may try to replace these with workers from India. Israel has quite a few fanatical racists in its ranks, so the arrival of thousands of Indians would create even more tensions (am not kidding, you can find Israelis tweet the most abhorrent messages to Indians who voice support for Israel!! Yeah, Indians hate Pakistan and they somehow think Pakistan and Palestine are the same muslim shit and should be hated equally)
- Hamas has not been hit in any vital way by Israel’s bombing campaign. Israel is really killing, maiming and starving the innocent population (1 million of them children)
- With each child Israel kids its credit it has among western nations erodes further. This is exactly what Hamas – cynical fucks that they are – was counting on. Israel is doing PRECISELY what Hamas wished for when it waltzed into Israel unopposed
- the Israeli military is butt hurt because it completely failed to stop Hamas from playing smash with Israel for at least 7 hours without Israel being able to stop them. On a strategic level this is very bad news for Israel, because angry people make a lot of mistakes when they are caught up in their rage. This bombing campaign for instance is a severe strategic and political blunder AND one of the worst crimes against humanity this century has seen. ‘The terrorists made me do it’ is a ridiculous excuse for ripping thousands of kids apart and burning thousands of other in an area where the healthcare system has broken down and the water has been cut off. This is Israel stupidly and arrogantly walking into the trap that Hamas set for them. Israel fails to understand that you don’t get praise for reacting to bad thing by doing the same bad thing over and over and over again with the full might of the most modern mass killing systems… Israel will forever be stained by this obvious disregard for the lives of innocents (their own citizens included). It fails to see that losing 1,300 (the number reported by Haaretz at the time of writing this article) people doesn’t justify killing and wounding hundreds of children, women and men a day. It has now killed more innocents in a month than Russia in almost two years…. Especially since it’s clear that Hamas is alive and kicking underground and is managing to take out Israeli tanks… What Israel is doing is one of the most criminal military operations in modern history and it will damage Israel for a long time to come. Even the mainstream news has started crumbling and has allowed pro-Palestinian voices to speak freely… On social media support for Palestine is massive…
IDF Tik Tok dances are not going to get Israel any brownie points…
And the US leadership has managed to lose the last fig leave of credibility it had. It condemns Russia for commiting genocide in Ukraine, but when Israel kills more innocents and way faster, then it’s not genocide and it’s actually perfectly ok.
The lesson: you can commit genocide if your commiting genocide somehow serves our agenda. If you are not in line with our agenda then you may not slaughter kids.
Wanna kill some kids? Then better offer us some strategic advantage or access to lots of natural resources. We will then greenlight your genocide. If not, some of our officials will choke up and fake cry over your victims.
And then some people wonder why Israel is receiving so much pushback…
It’s not anti-semitism.
Lots of jews are standing up against Israel.
It’s people not being ok with murder.
Israeli army on shaky ground. IDF is a paper tiger and it has walked into the trap Hamas set for it. Here’s why
