They didn’t see committing an actual act of war as a provocation? Lmao

I mean they regularily bomb other countries without any repercussion so they really might thought so. Being protected by Uncle Sam tends to erode brains in power.

even if it wasn’t a bald-faced lie (it is), anyone who actually believes that is too dumb to be allowed power

Oh yep. Here we go:

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal. < WE ARE HERE.

And if it is, that’s not my fault.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

Seems like we are at “And if it was, I didn’t mean it.”

Maybe it’s like the five stages of grief where they don’t necessarily have to be in order

israelis are completely disconnected from international law, they’re just completely out of bounds and they are clueless about it. they actually are stupid and spoiled enough that they think are immune to everything

No theory of mind, they have yet to realize other people are real too, and are capable of acting independently.

Okay, give up your nukes then. If you don’t think that you striking an embassy is a provocation, you cannot be trusted with nukes

if your justification for an airstrike is that you were an eepy lil country who doesn’t know the rules of war, you don’t get to have a nuclear option. You’re trying to have it both ways. You can either be the smol bean enclave state that is just so so anxious and doesn’t mean it but lashes out sometimes and you can’t blame them for it or you can be an entity with the power to immediately dissolve a city

Goodness gracious, the amount of tiptoeing the “free press” has to do when writing about Israel…
