    ❗️Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

    • “There will be a final diplomatic round in Gaza that will expand our borders.”

    • “There will be a final diplomatic round in Lebanon that will expand our borders up to the Litani River, making them defensible.”

    • “There will be a final diplomatic round in Syria… in Quneitra, Mount Hermon, and Hauran… at a minimum.”

    My general thoughts

    I took a break from posting for today due to other responsibilities.

    Regardless, Israel continues to dig its own grave, and I await the day to celebrate their final destruction.

    I’m still not entirely sure what the US is going to do. They’re obviously not abiding by the ceasefire but it’s not as if anything has changed to make the field of war more favorable for them.

    The simplest solution would be to cut their losses and leave Israel to its fate but the empire has clearly shown its unwillingness to abandon the zionist entity. A ground invasion is obviously going to be a slaughterfest disaster, which only really threatens to worsen the current situation further. A nuclear weapon is an option but it doesn’t actually help achieve any of the goals that the US has while also threatening response from other nuclearly capable states. There isn’t really a way out for the US that doesn’t eitheir humiliate them or accelerate their decline.

      The superstructure of Fascism, built upon the economic basis of seisure and deprivation of the fruits of labour of others, can only sustain itself by continuing the only economic activity that fits them, namely the othering, deprivation, and slaughter of other non-self members of society.

      Without constant external conflict, they turn upon themselves and attempt to continue that exercise of deprivation upon people they formerly considers to be members of the collective. In other words, without an external enemy for them to tear into, they will fracture into a million sub-groups that tear each other apart. Even with the constant search of an external enemy, eventually the Fascist collective will stumble upon an enemy they do not have sufficient resources to kill, and thus will either die trying, or halt and tear themselves apart from the internal dynamic.

      Capitalism adores these death cults because they are not only a pressure valve that will divert class conflict away from their class, can serve as henchmen for the Capitalist class for minimal lip service to their superstructure, and are also a problem that will “sort itself out” as they lodge the working class in a permanently disadvantaged position from the constant upheaval and conflict.
