To paraphrase: Israelis are stupid and propagandized. There’s no danger here for Israel. Only a simpering idiot would look at the modern Middle East, at the genocidal promises and well-laid plans of their enemies, and not understand that it’s all just a big misunderstanding, and that Israelis are anyway invincible, like a hairy version of Superman. I’m ashamed to say that we actually used to think like this guy, more or less. We used to be this smug and nearly this clever. Not anymore. Now we’re stupid. If an enemy promises something, we believe him. Like idiots. If they arm to destroy us, we go after them, fools that we are. No more threat postponement. Now we go for threat removal. Like knuckle-dragging dimwits. And that’s turned out to be a terrible thing for our enemies. And a bit inconvenient also for the sort of Western genius who, wherever he looks, by some magical turn of his inner mental lens, sees only his own politics. https://bird.makeup/@mattduss/1858123941115519267
