Yup. Young men pretend to be Haredi for a few years to avoid service so now they only have the ultra theological nuts to draft from.

It's:

1. I want war crimes done by ME.

2. I want war crimes, but just enjoy watching not risking my life on them.

Yeah, the CIA isn't just going to give out info for the sake of giving out info. I dont know what the thought is, but there's something behind it.

Seems like many prominent politicians are aging, nearing the end of their lives and just want to go out with a bang.

The central isreal agency?

One side wants to genocide harder while the other prefers a more "civilized" genocide.

This is exactly what I thought. What are they going to fight about exactly? Who gets to genocide the locals first? In Israel you have the far right and the farrer right

Yeah, this is just some red-teaming of possibilities.

The last place youd expect!

Yes, very forward looking and specualtive...

Like assassinating Castro with exploding cigars. .

That's what I said, out loud, as the comments loaded, right at the instant before this popped up.

I had to read it twice because the first time I read "millenials" and was like wtf? Then I reread it and saw it was saying millenialists.

Definite popcorn time watching those two groups respond..

Yeah if you think Lebanon's political breakup was messy...

This would make that look like child's play.

They'd pick the worst one. They already did, after all.

Probably too much to hope that they all kill themselves. I've been waiting to see Israel get theirs since it came out in ~2005 that they were conducting medical experiments on prisoners, including children.

Interesting variation on history repeating itself. Who is Bibi in all of this? Herod Antipas?

For 1200 years under the Ottomans, the Ottomans owned everything, and the local inhabitants were simply allowed to reside on the land

Not true again, read about the Ottoman Land Code of 1858 for instance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Land_Code_of_1858

In 1858 the Ottoman Empire introduced The Ottoman Land Code of 1858, requiring land owners to register ownership. The reasons behind the law were twofold. (1) to increase tax revenue, and (2) to exercise greater state control over the area.

Opposition

Small farmers, however, saw no need to register claims, for several reasons:

Land owners were subject to military service in the Ottoman Army
General opposition to official regulations from the Ottoman Empire
Evasion of taxes and registration fees to the Ottoman Empire

Outcome

The registration process itself was open to manipulation. Land collectively owned by village residents was registered in the name of a single landowner, with merchants and local Ottoman administrators registering large stretches of land in their own name. The result was land that became the legal property of people who may have never lived there, while locals, even those who had lived on the land for generations, became tenants of absentee owners.

These were the large tracts Jews bought. Non-Jewish "owners" sold out their own "people" for profit in Jewish money. Later in the Ottoman era, when buying inhabited land became troublesome due the land containing existing inhabitants, it became more common for such purchase agreements to stipulate removal of occupants before payment. Owners- even Arab owners- willingly complied with this contractual stipulation, for Jewish cash. Laws can read one way, but the way they are put into practice in reality can hobble them or completely reverse their intent.

The sequel.

I don't think it'll be a good time in the short term.

Long term, maybe. I don't know. But short term it'd result in massacres with no restraint whatsoever, not even what little restraint they have now.

I have no lost love for Israel but this site is one of the worst propaganda rags I've seen in a while. This is the same site that tried to claim protesters in Iran were actually being shot by Israel. These people will print anything regardless of how much it smells like bullshit.

Israel is politically unstable right now but hardly at the edge of civil war.
