1. When the latest seige began after 10/7 many of us

said the real end game for the criminal Netanyahu and the rabid right in Israeli politics was to basically completely destroy Gaza and then do an annexation/takeover. We were assured by so many people that we were wrong and that as soon as the hostages were released everything would become a land of milk and honey. Netanyahu tipped his hand in the middle of the seige and said even if the hostages were released he was going to keep on his bombing and destruction. Some of us said that proved what we had been saying. Many people again claimed that his words didn't mean what they were.

So now here we are after a once again phony agreement and claims about a 2nd phase and lies told to the Palestinians by the West and Israeli negotiators about how this would be a way towards "2 states", a "peaceful homeland assurance" etc. All lies in order to get to a certain point and then break the promises. Again. It is no different in Lebanon. The IDF will not completely withdraw by 2/18 and nobody will do anything about it. The IDF will never withdraw from the additional territory they took in Syria after the fall of Assad.
