@liangshikai1990 @pazarts97 There’s an Arab civil war in any case

One major stumbling block re river-to-the-sea “success” is Israel’s nuclear arsenal, which probably exists in this what if scenario too

@willsolfiac > E.g. the demand for a male 'family wage' that a husband could support a whole family on.

Popular in a many contexts but especially in rural North American mining and farming towns

“Reddish” radicalism died out in a lot of those places

[BeefiousT @AUserofNoImport]

@doctoradmiral Some similarities, yes.

In other respects Gaza is a very different kettle of fish from Ukraine and in particular Syria, both of which saw unprovoked heavy-handed atrocities from Russian and Russian-backed forces.

Each war is miserable in its own way.

@nobodyknows2322 > anti-American

Anti-Israeli, anti-British, etc.

“Anti-Western” in a broader sense, which includes a fondness for illiberal politics generally.

[BeefiousT @AUserofNoImport]

@connerelislone @ShitlibSupreme Gaza being an “open air prison” (with night clubs and beach stands and cafes, much of which are still around after 2+ years of urban combat) is chiefly the fault of Palestinian jailers like Hamas.

But blaming Israel for Arab-caused problems is a lucrative business.

[BeefiousT @AUserofNoImport]

@connerelislone @ShitlibSupreme The best evidence of systematic murder of “non-aligned” populations anywhere in the Levant in the last eight decades is probably at Dhumair and Qutayfah.

The problem for far left anti-Israel folk is that these sites are in Syria.

[BeefiousT @AUserofNoImport]

@liangshikai1990 @pazarts97 > Who wins in that war?

Probably still the Israelis, given that the different Arab state leaders actually had varied end goals and were just as likely to posture and fight against each other.

@CMArchibald @HamawyForNJ > “deploying to wars *we* started”

> “war hero doctor”

This is pretty slick from a former defence contractor

I get that you watched The Lobby and are now more kosher than the rabbi, as it were, re Gaza. But this guy denying Hamas embedding at hospitals is bad news

@connerelislone @ShitlibSupreme Good comeback homie really selling that degree

The better question is why ostensibly educated folk like you take a guy who screams “Israelis are literally Nazis” with anything other than a pound of salt

@VivaldiVril > The concept of attrition warfare was alien to them.

Maybe for the Navy.

Port Arthur cast a long shadow and gave the Japanese a big push to the negotiating table at Portsmouth, even after their crushing victory at Tsushima.
