    Alright, but do you see this playing out positively for them longer term? Unless we assume there would be no consequences for Israel. Also I think there are probably going to be bad consequences internally assuming a non-insignificant part of the Israelis come to terms with the atrocity committed in their name. I think that would create a struggle between the fascists and the rest that can go either way. A further descent into fascist militant Zionism along with repression of people and democracy. Or a rejection of the elements and culture that lead to this atrocity.

      Israel hasn’t been thinking of the longer term at least ever since Palestinians got internet access. That was the beginning of the end for their control over Western public opinion, (edit) and you’d have expected them to learn but nope.

      Don’t expect too much. To most Jewish Israelis (which are, let’s face it, the only ones that matter) Palestinians are subhuman barbarians whose only purpose in life is to be killed for Lebensraum. And their share of the total population is going up, not down. So yeah, don’t expect any soul searching in that department.
