Last year in Oct, the combined active and reserve for the IOF was ~700K people

I assume that Israel is lying and underplaying the numbers here because they always do for their own injured. But even going off their own numbers, 100K out of ~700K is catastrophic. And 100K injured out of a population of ~9.4M (in Israel), which will mostly be young people like 18-40-ish because that’s who is in any military, also seems insanely high. That’s like 1% of the total population, young people who were likely to do some form of labor for another 30-60 years, depending, now will totally unproductive or less productive. They’ve created problems that will haunt Israel (in more ways than one) for generations.

Not to be full capitalist brained on this or whatever. Just thinking about the long term ramifications of a genocidal state and how badly it’s fucking itself while also doing a genocide. Something people have been warning the right wingers about since Oct 7 and many years before…

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .
