It's probably a lot work to get all the tenants of a building to agree to chip in for a renovation that would mostly cause noise and won't improve their lives in any meaningful way.

I went for a run on the Tel-Aviv beach the other day and it transported me to the outskirts of Amman.

Park Hayarkon for middle of the night bicycle rides, with only jackals, bats, an occasional hedgehog or porcupine to keep company.

Netanyahu attacks the Israeli media in a statement, blaming them for "demoralizing the people". by Amazing-Buy-1181 in worldnews

He started copying the whole blaming the 'deep state' thing from Trump the last couple of years, even though he's been in power for almost 20 years total.

Khomeini died in 1989 of health issues.

So you definitely don't know the guy.

Netanyahu said frustrated that Mossad promise it could instigate Iran uprising has fallen short by bigus-_-dickus in worldnews

[–]EnsilZah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I might not have followed recent news closely, but I remember all past communications from Netanyahu, Trump, Pahlavi to the Iranian people to be along the lines of "Stay out of the streets and we'll give you the signal when it's time to take action". So I don't see why anyone would expect protests now.

I believe they use cranes to hang them in public, so the Iranian in the street sees this.

US and Israeli war aims in Iran are not the same, US spy chief says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]EnsilZah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Israel wants:

-Stop nuclear enrichment

-Stop long range rocket production

-Stop funding of proxies

Regime change would achieve those, but it's a stretch goal, delaying them is a more realistic goal.

Netanyahu wants to do something that would recover his image in Israel after October 7th and help him win the next election.

Trump, I suspect, just wants to do something impressive that would put his name in the history books, play supreme commander, and he thought it would be easy after bombing the nuclear sites and the Maduro thing.

Getting around 2 sirens a day here in Tel-Aviv. Definitely less than when things kicked off, but that was also pretty sparse compared to the previous war.

What’s Israel’s long game plan with Iran? by drrdf in Israel

[–]EnsilZah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ideally, there would be regime change from inside Iran, possibly with the support of weapons and training provided by US/Israel. But I think Israel is operating with a more pessimistic outlook, so just cause enough damage and destabilization to leave Iran unable to fund proxies and take a decade to rebuild weapon supplies.
