Like the USA, they've become overdependent on using proxies, on using imports of soft, lazy, parasitic industry lifestyle, overseas passport holding Jews to inflate their population numbers in a race to stay close to the Palestine population levels. These people have no apatite for anything more than the vicarious thrill of watching Mizrahi hardliners to the dirty work and take the risk of beating down the Arab civilians in their ghettos. Even in the West Bank they outsourced critical parts of their suppression to the PLO/Fatah, just as Gaza was outsourced to AI, remote signals intelligence, and aerial bombardment.
There is one serious risk factor, which is if the USA can pressure Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States help funding the effort to keep buying off the UN and complete the genocide. Unlike Cambodia under US proxy Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, Israel is too far away from any state that has both the power and moral fibre to come to the direct rescue. Now it's a question of the power of non-state actors, will they make the move before Egypt is purchased.
I'm not sure Egypt is exactly playing along according to Israeli hopes - closing Rafah after its destruction and controlling it so Israel is not able to get rid of Palestinians is not playing into their hands. They want the land empty and Egypt refuses to allow that. I am not, however, giving Egypt any great credit.
It's good to take a step back after the despicable and cowardly POW retrieval mission that used humanitarianism as cover and left a sea of blood in its wake. 250 days in, and the most moral army continues to plunge further beyond every conceivable abysmal low.
I have been trying to use resistance strategy as a guide in encampment strategy. Same premise: encampments are far weaker, underresourced, and vulnerable collectives working to find cracks in an implacable foe that controls mainstream discourse, legitimacy, and sanctioned violence.
I've been thinking about modern drone and missile warfare - the idea of sending lots of weak nothingburger strikes that nonetheless force the other side to respond, expensively so. Cheap attacks taking up time, money and resources. Administrations don't (for the most part) care about ethics. They care about the bottom line. And they have to follow procedure. So my thought is that lots of persistent and polite, unlikely to succeed salvos, using every procedure possible, to harass university administration over the long term until it is not longer worth it for them to resist divestment. Couching the divestment as being against war rather than Israel so the university maintains its figleaf neutrality before donors. And being ready to settle in. We are fighting an enemy that cheats and has no moral compass. It will take longer than anybody wants. But they are going to lose.

I'm starting to get a bad feeling about Egypt, it's too quiet.
