I know which of these is more important. Do you? Too many people seem to get their takes from Ryan Grim.

    Well that’s a fun (by which I mean the worst possible thing to imagine) hypothetical and much more interesting than being literally asked on a supposedly Marxist website “why would the US support Israel past the initial stage of colonization there’s no reason therefore it is all mossad blackmail” which was more my focus w OP. If there is a way out of this nuclear scenario it lies in cutting off the economic base of the Israeli occupation that being US & Europe etc.

    I mean what are you trying to tell me that there is just no way out of this other than nuking Israel and anything else is irresponsible? That’s where your train of thought is taking me tbqhbbqf

      Not all Israelis are settlers, some of them are actually indigenous to the land. For those Israelis, their material interests are aligned against ever using the Sampson Option and if they were in charge it would change the entire political equation from ever using nukes. What gives me hope is that we have seen 145,000+ Israelis leave the region in the past few years. Perhaps, through low level economic pressure, it would be possible to slowly drain Israeli society of everyone that would choose to abandon the land until the people with no other land become the dominant political force.

      It’s a tough needle to thread, though.
