If you’re watching this apocalyptic genocide unfold before your eyes and you feel powerless to stop it, please read. 🧵
Al-Aqsa Flood was a meticulously planned operation by a group with intimate knowledge of their enemy
What that means is the planners did not only anticipate Israel might retaliate with this current level of unrestrained brutality, they were counting on it
So what are its goals?

Goal 1: Expose the weakness of the IOF
The IOF relies almost entirely on air superiority. They cannot fight on the ground.
By repelling IOF ground incursions, Gazans are demonstrating to their brothers and sisters in the West Bank that Israel is a paper tiger.

Goal 2: Draw in the participation of Iran
Iran’s geopolitical survival rests on Hamas’s survival. Iran’s two-decades-long strategy of regional integration with Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen falls apart if they are seen to be abandoning one of their key partners.

Goal 3: Strike when the US is over-extended
US global hegemony is the weakest it’s been in a century. Israel cannot persist without massive and continuous aid from the US, and the timing of the Al-Aqsa Flood was chosen for a period of American financial and political precarity.

Goal 4: Smash settlers’ sense of safety
The Israeli colonial project ceases to exist without a steady influx of settlers from the west. By attacking these settlements, Palestinians struck at the heart of Israel’s image as a colonial safe haven.

Goal 5: Radicalize youth worldwide
An entire generation is being exposed to the true nature of Israel for the first time, learning its real origins as a violent settler colony with the full backing of western govts, sparking one of the largest waves of protests in history.
