Rafah is considered to be the last stronghold of Hamas, and Israel has just invaded it.

I was expecting this whole operation to result in the destruction or near-destruction of Israel, but it seems to not be the case. There isn't enough being done by other nations to stop Israel. Even the actions of the Houthis aren't enough.

    I disagree with you. There are lots of factors involved here, but consider some things

    1. A War is about politics. What Hamas did put Israel regime under a lot of pressure in a moment when they were already not doing well. Now israel has a hard internal and external situation.
    2. As some put, "if a guerrilla doest lose, it already won". Israel is doing very well in its genocide campaing, but they are not winning on the combat with armed people.

    Even if Hamas lost the combat tomorrow, Israel is politically too fragile. In time, this will result in serious consequences. Look at Iraq right now: the usa position in this country was very fragile, and now that this crisis arrived, they are being taken out. And the end of all of this, they (iraqs) will emerge as a more sovereing country. Wait and see what will happen in Oman and Jordania.

    That being said, i dont think Hamas will lose military as things are, but Burguersam can always interfere. Theres a reason why Israel is trying to start a war with lebanon, they want things to get "out of control" so that the usa "needs" to intervene. Why?

    Look at Vietnan War history. Look at the history of the palestine combats. Look at the history of south africa, chinese revolution, Leningrad, cuban revolution etc. The history of glorious Haiti defying fuckin Napoleon. You dont need to have faith, you need to know history better to undertand The Power of resistance

      And even then, Israel (and the West in general) has completely and permanently lost any facade of "civility.". The aging imperialists in charge are trying to recycle the same strategies from Korea, Vietnam, Panama, East Timor, and so on, except this time the entire world is watching and remembering. These massacres aren't just something being read about in the paper. These soldiers are gleefully making tiktoks of their depraved war crimes while a senile American president fails to gaslight the rest of world that its not happening.

      Even if the Palestinians are completely displaced from Gaza, it's just a matter of time before the Israeli state is in ruins. The most powerful tool that imperialism has is the mask of legitimacy that upholds its narratives. And the US and Israel, as regimes in decline, will never be able to restore it. While things are pretty bleak and are bound to become more violent in the shorter term, the writing really is on the wall for the yankee empire.
