    I often wonder in situations like these if they aren’t engineered by isn’treal itself so they can escalate with impunity

      I can’t begin to imagine what in the year 2025 would lead you to believe that the occupation is constrained by the need to “justify” their actions to anyone.

        it just greases the wheels from time to time is all… they don’t explicitly need to justify shit but it doesn’t hurt, especially if they want to escalate

        Well I suppose it can depend on what they’re trying to justify and to whom. Blow up a hospital? Of course not. But there’s always something just beyond the pale

      They definitely have allowed things to happen to this end but hard to say about this instance because it also makes them look weak when they fail to intercept missiles
