    It’s attempted genocide, pure and simple. Netanyahu is a war criminal that deserves to hang. He’s proving that Israel was a mistake.

      attempted

      Looking back at the almost-a-century of Israel’s policy on this I’d say we’re way past calling it “attempted”.

      There’s plenty of proof that Netanyahoo - and not only him - want the esacalation, so they can justify their atrocoties:

      “They’re fighting back? Good, start phase 2.”

      It’s going to be like with the Native American genocide: 100 years later everybody will be on their side and say it was a big mistake what happened back then, if only we could turn back the clock…

    If whatever they’ve been doing isn’t considered “mass-scale”… this is just the same thing with masks off.

      So far the West Bank has been loosely organized militias (with support from IDF, presumably, but in a more backseat role).

      If they begin striking the West Bank the same way they pummel Gaza, then things are going to escalate quite a bit.

      It will not be the same thing that’s currently happening in the West Bank. It will be far far worse.
