    I find it plausible that Israel leadership didn’t care. As if it’s impossible, whatever. If it was real, they could capitalize on it to push for genocide at a faster pace via playing the victim. As it was never going to take over the country.

    The only surprise was that this time, a huge number of people aren’t buying the revenge is okay story.

          Turning it into a hyperbolic comparison immediately diffused just how apt the comparison is in other ways

            fucking genius to go "this is just like 9/11" to get ahead of your critics who will be saying "this is just like 9/11" a month later

      oh no, we're under attack. Guess we have no-choice but to annex gaza. That's the last thing we wanted to do

        They love “Shock Doctrine” as a business advice book.

          Is that when you shove a cattle prod up a corpse's ass to shock its prostate and harvest the sperm?

      Not only didn't care, but saw it as an opportunity (the article does not say this, of course)
