      For context, Netanyahu’s “opposition” Eisenkot invented the Dahiya Doctrine, of maximizing civilian casualties by bombing civilian apartment buildings in areas the resistance fighters are from to kill their families.

      They’re all on the same team playing a game where they say “I’m going to murder you” then break your leg instead so people think it’s a win, but the plan all along was to break your leg lol.

      It’s a very common tactic to make things look worse than what they are currently trying to do so that when they “back off” into their real plan you feel like you won.

        I mean shit, it’s good cop bad cop. It’s haggling. It makes me insane when people don’t recognize these very common manipulation techniques.
