Not your fault. A lot of people worked very hard to make sure you had the wrong idea.

Sorry, but no, that’s not right.

Your perception of Israel has done a complete 180.

Israel, however, hasn’t changed. This is what it’s always been.

It’s asymmetric. The weapons you need to take out a swarm of drones are orders of magnitude more expensive (and complicated) than the drones.

So, any horde of such weapons cannot be replenished as quickly as the drones can.

It’s not a name. It’s literally just the word “God” in Arabic.

Trump is full of shit.

There’s no other place for the Palestinians to go.

Egypt and Jordan aren’t going to take Palestinians from Gaza, so all of his talk is just bluster meant to appeal to Israeli right wingers.

Thanks for linking to the video. There is an auto translate option for it buried deep in the CC settings (at least there was for me).

My impression that I was left with is that the guy speaking is basically panicking because he doesn’t want to look bad.

My reaction is “Good. Let the bastards squirm!”

The German government has gone out of their way to silence any opposition to genocide. Fear of looking like a Nazi is the closest they will come to self awareness.

This was in line with my immediate thoughts too.

It seems grossly unfair to judge Japanese people on their ability to speak English.

Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?

Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.
