Israel desecration statute of Jesus
Personally I have been sounding the alarm over Israel's hubris but Israelis keep brushing things aside and thinning out the miniature little support that they still have. It is so tiring. Why would IDF do such a dumb thing when they know right now things are hanging by a tiny and fragile thread? Honestly?
I have ignored/rationalized some IDF behavior but the smashing of the statue (whether the statue was fake or real or rigged with bomb) was extremely stupid and points to a serious issue in Israeli chain of command from the top to the very bottom.
The PM should tell the Generals that religious symbols are out of bounds, especially Christian symbols. The message should then flow downwards until it reaches the foot soldiers and vigorously enforced. Right now people are tired and moody and are actively looking for any reason to say "see, we told you" and Israel dumbly gives them the needed ammo to do so. Israel willingly proves them right. Honestly???
Why doesn't IDF ban phones in the combat zone and restrict phones to only button phones? Why does IDF allow soldiers to post pictures online (since 2023, this is open ignorance and hubris). Why doesn't commanders enforce discipline?
That guy Tirawi has been leaking photos since 2023 and I thought IDF would learn but IDF and Israel in general think they are in a pre 7/10 world. There are too many signs to ignore and/or sweep aside.
All Democrats Senators who have presidential ambitions voted with Bernie to restrict support for Israel. Trump is facing extreme pressure from his camp and the next guy who is Republican nominee is an anti Israel hack.
If Israel continues being dumb, I would honestly drop my support for them and focus on my country problems (there are many). I won't support Palestinians though, their positions aren't any much better than the IDF they are crying about and they have issues with terrorism.
