U.S. intelligence raises fears of civil unrest and state breakdown in Israel ahead of October 27 elections.
Personally I find it far more likely to happen in the US currently.
The one time in my life I hope to god the CIA is right.
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.
There’s already a civil war right next door in Syria, with Turkey, USA, Russia, Israel, Kurds, too many to list fighting. Hundreds of thousands of people dead, years upon years of war.
SUPER WAR
Good. It’s what they deserve
And the US will be there either in 26 after. The elections, possibly, or in 28 after the elections.
That’s what I said, out loud, as the comments loaded, right at the instant before this popped up.
If that actually happens, the evangelicals and Millennialists are going to flip out.
Time to stock up on popcorn.
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.
After I posted it, I realized that it could easily be misread but I don’t know of another term to use to describe Christians who believe in a post-apocalyptic millenium of peace & happiness (as long as you believe in Jesus, that is).
Definite popcorn time watching those two groups respond…
insert Michael Jackson popcorn meme
One of the deepest fractures in Israeli politics has emerged not over opposition to the country’s war crimes—but over who is expected to fight and who is exempt.
In case anyone’s confused the contradictions include regrets over what’s been done in Gaza.
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:
-
I want war crimes done by ME.
-
I want war crimes, but just enjoy watching not risking my life on them.
-
Hopefully we see a repeat of the famous kingdom of Israel and kingdom of Judah split
Interesting variation on history repeating itself. Who is Bibi in all of this? Herod Antipas?
One of the best scenes in WWZ (the movie at least) was watching Israel fall under the zombie weight of their own hubris. Nukes included.
Government, meet the consequences of you own actions. Happy to introduce you.
Finally, some good news
The end result of any fascist state is them turning on themselves.
