BREAKING: Israel has just killed Dr. Marwan Sultan in Gaza. They dropped a bomb on his home, murdering him, his wife, and their children. He wasn’t a combatant. He was a doctor who devoted his life to saving others.

They weren't even bombing a hospital this time, where apparently all the combatants usually hide. They bombed his family home.

    Israel has killed 70 healthcare workers in 50 days. And they've been doing this for years, every time claiming it's not a deliberate policy. The world can see what Israel is, and its words are worthless.

    Doesn’t matter. As long as the US supports the insanity, it won’t end.

    Pretty sure the real goal of Israel is to do enough damage so that even without the support of the US they can maintain control over the region.

    With the recent attacks in Iran I'm not sure it will end even if America ends its support.

    The Iran situation only ended because America got involved. Israel was running out of air defenses and couldn't establish air superiority over enough of Iran to stop Guerilla style launches despite getting air superiority early on due to their initial surprise opening. Even before we "got involved" with the bombs, most of the missiles that got shot down were shot down by American systems iirc.

    If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.

    Call me pessimistic but I don't think the "Iran situation" is anywhere close to being over.

    I don't think air superiority was ever in question. If anything Israel might be running low on anti-air defense that currently allows them to strike without receiving any meaningful retribution.

    When talking about achieving air superiority it usually refers to being able to provide combined arms air support for ground troops.

    If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.

    Maybe if it happens right now.... but with trump in the White House I wouldn't count on it. I think another three and a half years of support maybe enough to where they could mobilize to a wartime economy and commit it's population to total war. Israel is currently trying to straddle a somewhat normal economy in the hopes they don't spook the civilian population into unrest. But who knows how crazy they're going to get in the next 3 years.

    Genocide is not control. Control is what they made efforts on during Biden. This is not control. This is elimination.

    So Gaza aid was outright denied under Biden?

    So weapon shipments weren’t threatened to be removed under Biden?

    So Palestinians were shot at Gaza aid stations under Biden?

    Israel was blatantly seeking full annexation under Biden?

    The “hostages” were conveniently ignored under Biden?

    The settlers were so brazenly hateful and emboldened that they shot at IDF forces under Biden?

    Iran was preemptively attacked by Israel and reinforced by the USA under Biden?

    Yeah, Biden did a crap job with the Middle East but he at least didn’t take the extermination with glee and advertise hotels in the West Bank.

    You are no different than those Abandon Harris clowns.

    Read the amnesty international report finding that Israel is committing genocide and their reasoning.

    Which came out while Biden was in office.

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/12/amnesty-international-concludes-israel-is-committing-genocide-against-palestinians-in-gaza/

    TLDR: Yes. It was literally the same Genocide under Biden. You just didn't care then unlike the rest of us.
