I just cannot wrap my minds around how anybody can believe that Israel are the good guys.

I mean I understand these people are nuts, but they must have some way of rationalizing their worldview to themselves. And I just can’t see how.

What’s happening in Palestine and the position people and world governments take on it is a litmus test of good vs evil.

Absolutely true, but it’s getting much more blatant and easier to see now than it has been over the last decades

That’s one way to align America’s interest with Ukraine’s

This is interesting to me from a consequence perspective. I think hitting datacenters is going to be the next big thing. I just posted the following in another thread:

Louisiana’s new META datacenter is estimated to cost $140-$250 billion dollars once fully deployed (~$100B for the AI accelerators alone) [1]. Imagine being able to destroy $140B-$250B with a missile strike! There would be ripples through the whole world economy.

[1] Sample price info source where cost can be extrapolated: https://epoch.ai/data/ai-data-centers/directory/meta-hyperion Scaling its $61.8 billion projection from 1.63 GW to the full 5 GW produces approximately $189 billion.

How is this a punishment? I think public sentiment in Britain (and almost everywhere else in the world) would prefer it if the embassy was closed completely.

The mental gymnastics required to see Israel as the good guys are mind boggling.

Are there ever any actual consequences for this sort of thing? I understand when enemies spy against each other, but what happens when allies do it?

You would think this would change the relationship, but you see it happening over and over again with no noticeable response.
