Netanyahu's entire network of graft and political control is now more unstable than a house of cards, and the only thing that could possibly prop it back it up is a military victory over Hamas.

Bombing refugee columns isn't enough, they need boots on the ground.

The Israeli security state has a reputation for competence. I wonder, were they also hollowed out be decades of neoliberal policies'?

Probably doesn't help that the political leadership consists of a bunch of guys who had to pull every dirty trick to keep themselves and their friends in office, because otherwise they'd be in prison for corruption.

There's very little engagement to be had from the site anymore. There's a narrow range of acceptable discourse, and anyone going off message is quickly censored.

The news subreddits got hit worst of all. It's pure propaganda , and you can only read so many comments about the great Biden economy and the removed Russian orc before your eyes start to glaze over.

Yeah, vehicular homicide is basically legal in the US, so long as you don't flee the scene.

Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.

This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.
