  Which is one of the main reasons I pointed to when people would shout me down for sounding the alarm about the Palestinian Genocide because it was an irrelevant to US politics. The Palestinian Genocide is just a preview of our future, the signs are clear as day, our police trained HEAVILY with the IDF which is not really a functional military more like a police state apparatus.

  The IDF has no idea how to do an armored maneuver against a near-peer enemy that also has armor, AA and artillery, it only knows how to enclose people in literal and surveillance prisons and push “soldiers” to acclimate to killing innocent civilians.

  Not a war, a GENOCIDE.
