God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining

    I was grinning ear to ear at first. Isreal obviously must fall and the Palestinians have a just cause. But then I remembered that this isn't a goddamn Marvel movie and this won't go without the IDF and US gunning for wholesale civilian slaughter. Now it's just hope and worry.

      The only alternative to this kind of offensive is for the Palestinian genocide to continue without resistance. Netanyahuh will be weakened by this failure of his regime's defense.

        Considering the violent nature of Israel, they'll just double down on full scale genocide because the US will back them even if they start death factories and start gassing Palestinians. They suffer zero blowback except for when Palestinians fight back.

        its an ongoing decades long disaster of a war. its merely flaring up today to the unexpected temporary setback of the aggressing party.

          Probably both. The Gazans will obviously suffer an invasion of their land by a vengeful IDF but urban fighting is extremely dangerous and is exactly the kind of situation where a determined irregular force can come out on top of a more well equipped invading force

          The IOF is staffed by yellow-bellied cowardly conscripts who wish they could be on the flight back to the US and Europe or be part of the psyop branch making thirst Tiktoks in the studio at Tel Aviv. They will be eaten alive if they dare to set foot in Gaza.

        What do you think has been happening in occupied Palestine for the last 50 years? Israeli invasion and occupation is a yearly affair
