  • Has long as the Palestinian people exist, and as long as their land remains occupied by settlers, their struggle will not be over.

    I was expecting this whole operation to result in the destruction or near-destruction of Israel

    How? That is simply not realistic considering the scope of this conflict. Israel has infinitely more resources and more manpower, this has always been a case of asymmetrical warfare.

    There isn’t enough being done by other nations to stop Israel.

    This is being done precisely because NATO and the US supports Israel and sends them weapons and funding. They value their own interests in the region more highly than the lives of Palestinians. In fact, Israel wouldn’t even exist without foreign support.
    This conflict will only be resolved when supporting Israel becomes more trouble than it is worth, either because of the political turmoil at home is not worth the benefits, because the money spent on it outweights the profits, or simply because the crumbling empire no longer has the means to support it’s vassals.
    It’s imperative to organize at home and to agitate against Israel if you’re an USian, it might not seem like much but the more you pressure your government to stop supporting genocide abroad the closer we are to resolving this conflict.








  • No he didn’t, he said the election was stolen and then his followers turned into doomsday cultists, camping outside national congress and military bases (while begging the military to “do something”, as in, install Bolsonaro as a dictator), as well as blocking roads. Eventually he fucked off to the US because he didn’t want to hand over his post to Lula in person and because he was scared that he was going to be arrested for attempting a coup.




  • The real reason why no one builds railroads (except for china) is because of automobile industry lobbying. For instance, Brazil used to have a functioning rail system until around the 60s, until a bunch of car factories moved in and started pressuring the government to not only invest more on roads, but to abandon passenger trains altogether as an “incentive” for people to buy cars. It’s also the reason why so many right wingers are so against walkable cities, they pretty much just gobble up corporate propaganda and think cars are freedom machines.
