Israel is always going to be at war because it’s always expanding and repressing the subject people whose land it captures, and its endless wars are hugely useful to authoritarians, reactionaries and white supremacists, for kicking leftists who say the endless war and destruction is bad.

Counterpoint: You know, as does everyone else perpetuating this murderous farce, you just don’t want to say it aloud, because as with the others, it would offend your carefully constructed image of Israel, its military and, indeed, yourself, and even now, that is worth more to you than their lives.

Sound it out
In Gaza, the amount of approved NAZA depended on the seniority of the target, reaching hundreds of innocent civilians, according to the interviewees. Even if 20 NAZA, which became a benchmark, was applied to each of Israel's tens of thousands of targets, "you end up with all of Gaza", one of the soldiers concedes. "I just don't know what to do with this understanding," he adds, confronted with the reality of what
"accomplishing the task" actually implies after having disciplined his imagination not to dwell on this reality.

Do you note how “we’re going to round up and mass deport a million people” is rarely received with either visceral disgust or screaming, puking fury? How it’s considered instead in terms of its potential appeal to the public.
Confirmation that a Reform UK government would mean Ice-style mass roundups and deportations. In fact, in one way the Reform plan would go further than Trump, in retrospectively stripping rights from people granted asylum as long as five years ago and tracking them down for removal. 1/2

It's another policy which feels most likely to appeal solely to the 20% or so Reform core vote, and also to harden other voters' resolve to vote however is needed to keep out a Reform government - as do many of their recent announcements.

Yeah, this is kind of the problem: whatever the original idea was, the state we “must support” now has a fascist government pursuing expansionism, torture, ethnic cleansing and genocide with full public support, and any possible government will pursue the same project.

We already have proof of concept: it is entirely possible to sell genocide and ethnic cleansing to the British public, and to simply crush any opposition. Whether that could now move on to e.g. black vans and roundups here is another matter, but that shit is well underway in America. So, why not?
