    The CIA also spent 13 years hunting Radovan Karadžić, a Serbian who was living a public life in Serbia.

      For 1200 years under the Ottomans, the Ottomans owned everything, and the local inhabitants were simply allowed to reside on the land

      Not true again, read about the Ottoman Land Code of 1858 for instance.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Land_Code_of_1858

      In 1858 the Ottoman Empire introduced The Ottoman Land Code of 1858, requiring land owners to register ownership. The reasons behind the law were twofold. (1) to increase tax revenue, and (2) to exercise greater state control over the area.

      Opposition

      Small farmers, however, saw no need to register claims, for several reasons:

      Land owners were subject to military service in the Ottoman Army
General opposition to official regulations from the Ottoman Empire
Evasion of taxes and registration fees to the Ottoman Empire

      Outcome

      The registration process itself was open to manipulation. Land collectively owned by village residents was registered in the name of a single landowner, with merchants and local Ottoman administrators registering large stretches of land in their own name. The result was land that became the legal property of people who may have never lived there, while locals, even those who had lived on the land for generations, became tenants of absentee owners.

      These were the large tracts Jews bought. Non-Jewish “owners” sold out their own “people” for profit in Jewish money. Later in the Ottoman era, when buying inhabited land became troublesome due the land containing existing inhabitants, it became more common for such purchase agreements to stipulate removal of occupants before payment. Owners- even Arab owners- willingly complied with this contractual stipulation, for Jewish cash. Laws can read one way, but the way they are put into practice in reality can hobble them or completely reverse their intent.

    One of the deepest fractures in Israeli politics has emerged not over opposition to the country’s war crimes—but over who is expected to fight and who is exempt.

    In case anyone’s confused the contradictions include regrets over what’s been done in Gaza.

      It’s:

      1. I want war crimes done by ME.

      2. I want war crimes, but just enjoy watching not risking my life on them.

      Yup. Young men pretend to be Haredi for a few years to avoid service so now they only have the ultra theological nuts to draft from.

    “As we’re moving forward with further integrating our military-industrial capacity with them, there’s deep frustration that we’re doing this for a country that dragged us into a war we’re losing, a country that spies on us.”

    Then fucking stop!

    CIA reports what Isreal wants them to report. So Netanyahu wants you to think the country is close to collapse. So that he can justify emergency powers to keep himself in power indefinitely.

    It’s a stretch, as it is based on resentment among genocidal supporters for ultra orthodox faction not joining IDF. Though, afaiu, they are part of settler violence/theft, and no genocidal faction resents the settler actions, or sides with international condemnation of IDF/settler genocide/theft.

    Well, I predict LOTS of civil wars in LOTS of places, especially as the environment collapses and basic needs aren’t met.

    Over what? Half the country likes genocide and the other half likes genocide, too? All these terrorist countries like Israel, the USA and Russia can all go to hell.

        I think it’s more of a one side wants to genocide and participate in it and the other prefers to just watch and not enlist and risks itself.

      This is exactly what I thought. What are they going to fight about exactly? Who gets to genocide the locals first? In Israel you have the far right and the farrer right
