Rafah is considered to be the last stronghold of Hamas, and Israel has just invaded it.
I was expecting this whole operation to result in the destruction or near-destruction of Israel, but it seems to not be the case. There isn’t enough being done by other nations to stop Israel. Even the actions of the Houthis aren’t enough.

Hamas just fired some rockets from north gaza this morning, Rafah isn’t the last stronghold of Hamas, it’s the last stronghold of Palestinian children and women
I disagree with you. There are lots of factors involved here, but consider some things
- A War is about politics. What Hamas did put Israel regime under a lot of pressure in a moment when they were already not doing well. Now israel has a hard internal and external situation.
- As some put, “if a guerrilla doest lose, it already won”. Israel is doing very well in its genocide campaing, but they are not winning on the combat with armed people.
Even if Hamas lost the combat tomorrow, Israel is politically too fragile. In time, this will result in serious consequences. Look at Iraq right now: the usa position in this country was very fragile, and now that this crisis arrived, they are being taken out. And the end of all of this, they (iraqs) will emerge as a more sovereing country. Wait and see what will happen in Oman and Jordania.
That being said, i dont think Hamas will lose military as things are, but Burguersam can always interfere. Theres a reason why Israel is trying to start a war with lebanon, they want things to get “out of control” so that the usa “needs” to intervene. Why?
Look at Vietnan War history. Look at the history of the palestine combats. Look at the history of south africa, chinese revolution, Leningrad, cuban revolution etc. The history of glorious Haiti defying fuckin Napoleon. You dont need to have faith, you need to know history better to undertand The Power of resistance
And even then, Israel (and the West in general) has completely and permanently lost any facade of “civility.”. The aging imperialists in charge are trying to recycle the same strategies from Korea, Vietnam, Panama, East Timor, and so on, except this time the entire world is watching and remembering. These massacres aren’t just something being read about in the paper. These soldiers are gleefully making tiktoks of their depraved war crimes while a senile American president fails to gaslight the rest of world that its not happening.
Even if the Palestinians are completely displaced from Gaza, it’s just a matter of time before the Israeli state is in ruins. The most powerful tool that imperialism has is the mask of legitimacy that upholds its narratives. And the US and Israel, as regimes in decline, will never be able to restore it. While things are pretty bleak and are bound to become more violent in the shorter term, the writing really is on the wall for the yankee empire.

By who? There’s a great argument that this war exposed Israel’s intelligence as sorely lacking, and they have a vested interest in declaring victory.

I think it’s far more likely we see a resolution closer to post-apartheid South Africa.
The Zionist entity is trying to pick a fight with every neighbor, and the US is trying to provoke Iran. I wouldn’t assume this is the end if I were you. Decades happening in weeks right now.
Like the Yemenis said “we don’t care we don’t care make it a third world war”
Remember that “Israel” occupied all of Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank, for many years after the 1967 war and it still wasn’t enough to destroy the resistance.
I don’t see this ending in occupation, but expulsion. Israel wants that land and doesn’t want the people, it’s an obvious next step.
All they need is a partner to take expelled Palestinians and they crush resistance forever.
That’s genocide, sure, but that won’t stop them.
It takes one collaborator Arab government to collapse for there to be another Yemen. If that government is Egypt or Jordan, Israel is done for. It’s hated by everyone in the region, it will always be resisted
What you have to remember is that the US deliberately parked the Navy right off the coast of Palestine for the sole purpose of keeping anyone from sending a force to intervene. All the lack of help for Palestineans is part of the plan.
I don’t consider them to be in a favorable position. I’m not sure many positive changes in the world happen from favorable positions, though.
