Okay we all knew Israel was genuinely a fascist hellscape, but I honestly wouldn’t have guessed they’d be open firing on their own civilians, such as at the kibbutz where survivors were talking about how the IDF just began a firefight with the hostages between them and Hamas.

I knew Israeli authorities were absolutely fine killing every last Palestinian if they thought it would get them even one Hamas guy, but I honestly thought they wouldn’t risk their own people. I understood in theory that this is normal practice for fascists, but I never really expected it to play out this way in the modern day; I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (as it makes more and more sense): Israel is a snapshot of Europe circa 1930’s. This is probably exactly what people are talking about when they say they want to make America great again.
