Nothing suprising here, didn't Financial Minister Smotrich say that Gaza should be nuked months ago?

Trump's team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:

Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.

Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can't control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That's just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they're not that stupid.

Never doubt a true believer

I'm sure some people want it to happen, but Netanyahu isn't suicidal. He's not going to destroy Gaza just so he can die of radiation sickness.

There's no doubt that he went into Palestine to distract from the fact that he declared himself supreme dictator just a few months prior. It's difficult to opposse a populist wartime leader

I've been saying the same thing. He needs a forever war to maintain dictatorial powers. He's not going to risk that either.

The riff-raff are the true believers (in Israel, most being brainwashed since childhood with racial supremacist beliefs).

The leadership are just Sociopaths.

Sociopaths do what they do, no matter how abhoring, for their own personal gain and satisfaction, and dying from radiation poisoning ain't good or satisfying.

ROFL I cannot take anyone seriously when they claim Israelis are brainwashed since childhood

Utter rubbish. You wanna see brainwashing? Search YouTube for “Palestinian children’s show”, 6 year old girls talking about the “glory of martyrdom” (aka how awesome it is to be a suicide/homicide bomber). THAT is what brainwashing since childhood looks like

That doesn't mean what Israel is doing isn't brainwashing. You know, maybe multiple things bad?

Also, congrats to Israel on creating conditions necessary for the rise of radicalism by forcing misery so bad people would rather become terrorists.

It's a bit like Finland and Russia; we're the one country they wouldn't nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.

It's almost poetic, really.
