    Watching the MAGA loyalists assemble into their usual cheerleading formation to praise this -- a slightly more chest-thumping continuation of Biden's policy, which they uniformly hated -- is one of the most vivid illustrations of partisan brain-damage you can ever hope to witness


    Oppa Biden hat das einfach nicht so verkaufen können, dass man sich geil dabei fühlt.

    Far-right Otzma Yehudit returning to the government after resumption of war in Gaza


    ‘Together in strength, for the sake of the people of Israel,’ Ben Gvir exults following end of two-month stint in the opposition over party’s objection to ceasefire deal

    Zitat

    The 2025 state budget must be passed by the end of March or the government will automatically fall, triggering early elections. However, with the return of Otzma Yehudit, the ultra-Orthodox lawmakers have lost their leverage, further diminishing the already minuscule chance that the bill will be passed in the near future.


    Ich denke es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass die israelische Regierung den Krieg wieder aufgenommen hat, um ihren Haushalt in diesem Monat durchzubringen und damit Neuwahlen abzuwenden.

  • A propos "Faschismus"...:

    Israel ist wirklich ganz weit vorn. Report der Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel:

    The Commission’s report finds that the destruction amounts “to two categories of genocidal acts in the Rome Statute and the Genocide Convention, including deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians and imposing measures intended to prevent births”.


    Head of the Commission, Navi Pillay, said in a statement that the targeting of reproductive healthcare facilities including “direct attacks” on maternity wards and the IVF clinic, “combined with the use of starvation as a method of war, has impacted all aspects of reproduction.

    She added that the violations “have not only caused severe immediate physical and mental harm and suffering to women and girls, but irreversible long-term effects on the mental health and reproductive and fertility prospects of Palestinians as a group.”

  • Bei der Gelegenheit, ich hätte fast Schumers Interview vergessen:

    The Interview
    Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat

    Zitat

    One final thing. This is very important. Jewish people were subject, at least in my judgment, to the worst genocide ever. I put in the book, on the day they got Kyiv, the Nazis asked 33,000 Jews to line up by a trench, strip naked, and they shot them all dead. Every day Auschwitz killed 20,000 people. My family was killed from a place called Chortkiv in western Ukraine. And this was vicious and horrible. And it is vicious of the opponents to call this genocide. Criticize it? For sure. Say Israel went too far? For sure. And you know what it does? It increases antisemitism, because they’re making Israel and the Jewish people look like monsters, which they are not.


    Mal abgesehen davon, dass er mit dem Hintergrund vielleicht mal kritischer mit der Erinnerungskultur in der Ukraine sein sollte, wo ist das Argument? Will er sagen, aufgrund der Dimension der historischen Verbrechen an jüdischen Menschen verbietet es sich einen Genozid, den ihre Nachfahren bzw. nachgeborene Mitglieder der gleichen Gruppe ausführen, als solchen zu benennen?


    Dass es Antisemitismus fördert, kann ich mir gut vorstellen, zumal er antisemitischer Weise Verbrechen der Israelis großzügig auf alle anderen Juden umverteilt, die man dann für ihn offenbar sehr naheliegend (und vielleicht denkt er hauptsächlich an sich selbst, was mit dem mutmaßlichen Abstimmungsverhalten noch Sinn ergibt) mit so einer Kritik auch zu Monstern erklären würde.


    Wie auch immer, erinnert hatte ich mich wegen dieser hilfreichen Einordnung, die die vorgebrachte Darstellung natürlich vollkommen entkräftet:


    Zitat

    [NYT:] I will say, it’s a word that a U.N. special committee has used.


    [Chumer:] Please. The U.N. has been anti-Israel, antisemitically against Israel. [...]


    Pleeaaase.

    Israel’s ‘forever war’ stretches IDF to the limit


    Reservists warn of growing attrition as country moves closer to renewed full-scale conflict in Gaza

    Zitat

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and new IDF chief Eyal Zamir have threatened to follow up their air campaign in Gaza with a ferocious new ground offensive if Hamas refuses to release more Israeli hostages.


    Yet it is unclear how much more Israel’s armed forces can take. For much of its history, Israel chose to fight short and decisive wars, with most campaigns measured in days and weeks, to minimise the burden on the reservists it would call up to augment the regular army.


    With no end in sight, defence analysts and reservists have begun to warn of growing attrition on the fighting force, with jobs, families and lives put on hold.

    Zitat

    “For the first time [since the start of the war] there may be a chance some reservists won’t report for duty,” said Amos Harel, the defence analyst for newspaper Haaretz and author of a book on civil-military relations.


    “This could become a bigger problem if there’s no consensus behind the war.”


    Meines Erachtens ist ja ein relativ großes syrisches Gebiet besetzt halten, insbesondere wenn es dort erstmal zu stärker organisiertem Widerstand kommt, etwas, dass sie sich eigentlich nicht leisten können. Die Aufstockung um 10000 Soldaten war zudem das Ziel vor dieser neuen Besatzung:


    Zitat

    Israeli military officials argue that 10,000 more soldiers are needed — especially new armour and infantry brigades — in order to better defend Israel’s borders and “indefinitely” hold buffer zones inside neighbouring territory.


    But analysts warn that such changes to the IDF’s organisational structure will take time to develop. And plans to expand the army will bump up against a bigger challenge: the issue of whether or not to conscript young ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jewish men. [...]


    Ernsthafte Bemühungen diesbezüglich gibt es weiterhin nicht:


    Zitat

    Netanyahu, whose coalition depends on Haredi allies, has made clear his government does not intend to forcibly conscript the ultra-Orthodox. Only a few hundred Haredi men have enlisted over the past year, out of over 10,000 draft orders the IDF sent out, according to official figures.


    Und das ist natürlich nicht nur ein Problem, weil sie nicht genug Soldaten zusammenbekommen, sondern weil es beim Bevölkerungsteil ohne diese Ausnahme zu Unmut und weniger Bereitschaft zum Dienst führt:


    Zitat

    According to a Reservists’ Wives Forum poll last November, some 80 per cent of respondents said their motivation to serve had decreased since the start of the war due to both the lack of conscription of ultra-Orthodox and personal difficulties.


    Zu den Auswirkungen hatte ich ja schon vor einer Weile einen Artikel, hier wird ähnliches berichtet:


    Zitat

    Several reservists who spoke to the Financial Times said that, while it is rare for a reservist to fully quit their unit, they are now more likely to miss a call-up for training or operational duty due to personal reasons.


    One reserve officer stationed for months near the Gaza border said the reporting rate for some reservist units has become “less than half”.


    This rough figure was corroborated by Harel, the defence analyst, who added that the wider debate about the direction of the war would be likely to compound anger.

    Defense Minister Israel Katz confirms the IDF "successfully eliminated" senior Hamas official Ismail Barhoum in a strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza's Khan Younis this evening.


    Katz hails the IDF and Shin Bet for the strike on Barhoum, who he says was "the new Hamas prime minister in Gaza, who replaced Issam Da'alis, the previous prime minister who was eliminated a few days ago."


    The defense minister says the ongoing offensive against Hamas is "expanding," and vows that Israel will continue its strikes until the hostages are released.


    Laut Hamas war er dort in Behandlung.
