Birthright Israel & The IDF: The B-Side (PREVIEW)

And I think it looks like Israel might be launching an attack on Iran, like as we speak, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Like I said, we're recording this at around 2 p.m. Eastern time, which means it's around 9 p.m. in the Middle East.

Which means...

And this is around the time that they usually tend to start that shit.

And there have been a lot of news articles.

Al Jazeera is currently reporting that basically all of the West Bank is on lockdown.

Um... they're pretty much like iran is now in a full defensive position it's uh it's great we yeah it's i

i feel like they're probably just because it's been like this a lot of of like through the iran war where they wait till the united states markets close to close just so the stock markets don't wildly immediately react so i think by the time we're done recording this episode like the By that time or an hour after is probably when they're going to, like, sadly re-engage and launch back.

I think especially because it's like the Israeli election is coming up in, what, four days now? It's taking place on the 27th.

And something that I don't think should be too surprising, but something that I had been paying attention to a little bit is that like every single opposition party to Netanyahu is like he's weak on Iran.

He's weak on Palestine.

He's he's not taken our best interests into the office.

So I think him doing that, of course, Netanyahu is like a strategy is a very intentional strategy right now to like, oh,

yeah.

bring that support back to rally the base and maybe get him over the line because it's not looking too great for him, but I do think...

I don't know.

It's not in Yahoo.

He's been a leader for 30 years.

Also,

if he does end up... losing the election, it's just going to be in favor of somebody else who's going to try to continue the war and the genocide in an even more horrifying way.

Like, maybe not even more horrifying, but there are degrees of horror here.

The underlying logic, I guess, is not going to change.

There is nobody who has a significant shot at winning the election who is in any way, shape, or form concerned with the health and well-being of anybody other than israel

basically yeah like the the only the the the person who's like the the coalition the the people who are most likely to win the election are much more extremist on this so in this scenario of the like two likely possible like possible situations not in yahoo is the moderate which is horrifying that is a horrifying reality

here It's just going to be so funny, too, if he does end up getting unseated in favor of an even more aggressive party, because then all of these people who have been like, well, Netanyahu is the problem.
