Israel suffers heaviest combat losses since October, diplomatic isolation
www.middleeastmonitor.com
Israel announced its worst combat losses for more than a month, on Wednesday, after an ambush in the ruins of Gaza, and faced growing diplomatic isolation as civilian deaths mounted...

[The neocolony] reported 10 of its soldiers killed in the past 24 hours, including a full colonel commanding a forward base and a lieutenant-colonel commanding a regiment. It was the worst one-day loss since 15 soldiers were killed on 31 October.

(It could be an undercount, too.)

    neocolonialists??? these are straight up colonists, neo colonialism is what the US is doing in Puerto Rico or most African countries for example this is just straight up old school plainly genocidal settler colonialism.

      To begin with, as a successor to the British colonial régime and like many other ex-colonial developing countries, the new state of Israel is essentially neocolonial. It is tied by an umbilical cord to the capitalist world on whose continuing military, political and economic assistance it is dependent for its very survival.

      […] the Arabs for whom the “Zionist entity” is a neo-colony in the Middle East.

      As in any other neocolony, the Israeli authorities understand that you have to do something […]

      The Zionist régime is formally independent; it has its own language, its own symbols, the appearance of autonomy, and so forth, but it is clear that Washington, through its financial power, has the final say on its matters, even though the régime is not its property in the same way that Puerto Rico is. In these respects, the Zionist régime is comparable to prerevolutionary Cuba (commonly known as the ‘neocolonial republic’). That is why I call the occupation of Palestine a neocolony.

        I see ur point that israel is a neocolony of the west, and i suppose i miss interpreted what u meant when u called israelis neocolonialists, i thought u meant that Palestine was a neocolony of israel which i would disagree with, their relation is much closer to what the us had with indegenous nations in the 19th century.

      Puerto Rico isn’t “neocolonialism” it was literally a colony and now a territory. There’s nothing “Neo” about that.
