    A former head of the IDF admits he was wrong and says the thing no one is allowed to say without being smeared as an antisemite or self hating Jew. Can we please just take the fucking win?

        It likely influences the conversation inside Israel, which is a good thing.

        I’ve noticed, especially lately, that Israeli media seems to cover their genocide more objectively that US media does. So it’s likely this will get traction there.

            Israeli media is not a monolith, and Fox News is (unfortunately for the rest of us) far from the most batshit reactionary media in the US. Have you seen Newsmax or OAN? That’s where all the MAGAts are these days.

          Most of israeli media platform war criminals. Very few are critical like Haretz

          Former prime minister Menachem Begin admitting that there was no proof that Nasser was about to attack them did not change israeli public opinion of the war of agression

        Yeah, that’s what politicians do. Israel isn’t unique that regard.

        I’m not saying I want to give the guy a medal. I’m saying it’s unreasonable to expect someone in his position to go full .ml
