When you turn cities into rubble and indiscriminately target civilians, only to find yourself bogged down in an asymmetric war.

Tangential but there’s a certain exchange from the Battle of Algiers movie I keep thinking of.

Journalist: M. Ben M'Hidi, don't you think it's a bit cowardly to use women's baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people?

Ben M'Hidi: And doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets.

I hope everyone in the iof lives in constant fear of a tunnelchad popping up behind them to place a stick of dynamite in their back pocket, looney toons style. I also hope they have enough time to put up their "uh oh" sign for the camera.

Comparing yourself to a lion and your enemies to rats.

thinky-felix Where have we heard that one before...

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

See, that was different.

Those guys compared themselves to a black eagle.

See? The comparison is not 1-1, therefore you are wrong and also invoking blood libel. Checkmate.

One of my favorite currents of zionist propaganda that never really caught on outside of the most bloodthirsty is the idea that tunnels, as like an architectural concept, are morally repugnant. Most people wouldn't be able to find a problem with the tactics described in the tweet, but the settlers have given themselves a pavlovian response to hear the word "tunnel" and think the word "subhuman".

I remember reading about WW2 German troops complaining that the Soviets were using dishonorable gangster tactics. Guess it's a fascist thing where you act tough and invincible but then moan it's unfair and cry for the hall monitor when you get their shit kicked in.

Israel would more or less collapse if it faced half the resistance from its own population (whether the soldiery or the civilians) that the US did in 1968.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Absolutely
