    Several hundred Israelis now dead, many captured, many barracks and depots and entire neighborhoods captured, many tanks and other armored vehicles destroyed, more and more fighters streaming in. Several very high ranking Israeli officers dead or captured. Defense systems malfunctioning from being overwhelmed. Utter chaos trying to deal with multiple fronts, as well as dealing with the constant rocket fire. Very few Palestinians killed, relatively, especially compared to the usual ratio. This is a grand operation, not a blind rage retaliation to the mosque…although the rage is certainly helping.

    This is amazing. History in the making. Sucks to reap what you sow innit? Big rip major bozo nation🙏

    I hope this goes well for Palestine but I feel like they don’t have the support to actually succeed and Israel will continue their genocide in force

      I think, like many of the actions taken by the global oppressed these last few years, their success may have seemed impossible a few decaded ago but has a better chance now than ever before. ESPECIALLY if Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iran, or any other Arab nations take a risk and get involved. We can look to Niger’s defiance of Western imperialism as a clear example of how deeply things have changed; just recently, the US would have swiftly rallied all resources to crush them with impunity. And yet, they could barely get ECOWAS to lift a finger. Them having to resort to using Kenya as a proxy force to re-invade Haiti, and with such pitiful numbers, is an even clearer example of this. Ukraine has absolutely bankrupted the West.

      That is not to say the Zionists will not retaliate as savagely as they can manage, they have already begun bombing northern Gaza civilian neighborhoods in a blind rage. Many innocent people will die. But the ultimate outcome of this new intifada has much better chances than the previous ones. We need to discard doomerism and take some hopepills comrade, we live in truly optimistic times for liberation across the whole world.

      A worthy cause for a brief return. Hope you’re doing well out in the fields/with the masses.

        I’m feeling a lot better. Decided to get some thing in my life back on track. Got my appartment back in order with some new furniture, found a therapist to deal with anxiety, finished writing my part of the party programme. Also accepted that I need a better balance between regular life and politics. Ditched Reddit for good.

        But overall I feel like getting back at it again with the politics.

    Hell yes… wonder why the narrative on resistance is gonna be different here for the people who aren’t “relatively civilized, relatively European” (I think the two situations are different, but according to the liberal narrative they shouldn’t be)

    I think the Israelis should be like MLK Jr and ghandi and turn the other cheek.

    There are pictures and videos on Twitter and Telegram that I’m not going to share. Safe to say the “IDF” is in complete disarray and everyone was taken aback by the scale and urgency of this operation – the occupier among them. News and videos are still coming out so I’m holding off on the body and injury count, but yes there is visual confirmation that the resistance completely liquidated IDF barracks before the soldiers even got out of their beds. Settlers fleeing to airports. At least 4 settlements occupied with everyone essentially driven out, but I have no idea what the situation is like right now. Several POWs taken by the Palestinian resistance as well and brought back to Gaza.

      They did not infiltrate anything as you cannot infiltrate your own occupied country – just a small correction because NPR is a public broadcaster and obviously will push a Zionist line.

      Otherwise yes they did start with paragliders, though I have to wonder how they managed to get past the checkpoints and snipers. Maybe they thought they were tourists?

      They also cut a hole in the fence and convoyed motorcycles through. But it seems the gliders were sent to secure an opening for more fighters to follow.

          It’s really clever actually, it’s so low-tech it’s not going to be picked up by all the high-tech equipment. Only way they could be intercepted is by troops on the ground, which evidently did not happen and I really want to know why, I hope we’ll get the answer. Planes fly too high and too fast to intercept, radars don’t pick this signal up…

          Really using the 11ft ladder lol.

        you’re still infiltrating a security device even if the people who put up the walls or locks did so illegitimately. that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Clearly NPR was not talking about infiltrating a wall or lock, but about infiltrating Israel.

          that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Not sure what you mean by that.

            the specificity you’re demanding for “infiltrate” to apply is prescriptivist, and it’s revision because it does not reflect common usage in american or commonwealth.

            anyway, you’re still infiltrating a security device something even if the people who put up the walls or locks fortified border did so illegitimately.

              The comrade was being slightly pedantic in objecting to the use of the word infiltrate to make a point, but you are just being an annoying debate nerd for no reason. What do you think you are achieving with this?

        Libs in copium mode right now.

        I want them, instead of downvoting, to explain right now what exactly is their problem with this operation. Everything Palestine did today is lawful and protected under UN occupation law which the UN decided applies to Palestine.

        What they did today was completely in the right, allowed by international law, and NOTHING in comparison to all “Israel” has been doing to Palestine for decades.

        If you don’t want to live under threat of fire then don’t be a settler. Simple as that. You can leave anytime you want, your “Israeli” passport gives you access to most of the world.

          Not being able to see downvotes means that cowardly libs have nothing beyond responding, which they are afraid of doing.

    Inspiring. I hope this encourages more resistance. I hope the settlers are overwhelmed and handed a humiliating defeat.
