10 months agoUS troops occupying Gaza? That’s what they want? How about a giant no. It’ll make the worst years of the Iraqi occupation look like fucking sunshine and rainbows.

The UN? Why they’re practically Hamas. And you wouldn’t trust Hamas, right? /s
Might be something similar to what they were linking to.

There was an entire Hezbollah headquarters inside the trunk of the car.
Yeah my dad passed just when COVID was at its worst, and we just didn’t feel comfortable having a service, and i still sometimes feel guilty about it. And I’m not religious at all anymore, and even my family’s religious background it’s not like there’s anything special that must be done. I can’t imagine how shitty it feels when you do have specific beliefs and practices that you’re really supposed to observe. On top of them just being tossed in a pit somewhere with so many others.
From what I understand Egypt by treaty isn’t in full control of what comes into Rafah. Normally goods aren’t allowed in at all and must first cross into Israeli-controlled territory and then into Gaza through a different crossing. Worst case scenario Egypt sends in aid and the trucks get attacked.
At this point I kind of agree that it’s pointless to argue about it as the word’s connotations have already changed.
But again the Ayn Rand as a Libertarian is still viewing the word through the altered meaning that rose to prominence in the US. Previous to that change it indeed was a wing of anarchism, a left-wing ideology.
They mean they’re going to cut the water and power for good. The blockade I’m sure will remain in place.
China has always kept their nuclear force rather limited in number. Only recently have they started expanding their stockpile.
I’m guessing it’s as simple as goading Israel to overreact, which blows apart a main US geopolitical goal of normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab states.
The chips are manufactured in Taiwan. Many of the graphics cards the chips go into are made in mainland China though – which is where they’re going to have issues.

I don’t know about that. For instance, this is what a US JDAM sounds like despite just being a gravity bomb with no propulsion of its own. Not sure what the Hamas/Islamic Jihad rockets sound like in their terminal phase.
That’s the sound a
makes.
Yeah I found it just now. I know people here usually prefer Piped, etc but the Piped link to it was acting flaky for me and not playing.

And yeah here’s what a JDAM sounds like, like you said:
It actually sounds like a JDAM which is a bomb, not a missile. Here’s what a JDAM sounds like:

And here’s the YouTube link to the video above since the Piped version seems to be acting flaky:
There was also a video clip I saw that starts with a chain link fence and then you hear a sort of whistling sound and something slams down hard with a pretty big explosion. Ofc I’m not sure it’s verified or not but sounded and looked more like the impact of something like a JDAM instead of what you’d expect from the rockets fired by Hamas/Islamic jihad. Which although I understand are deadly, especially in large numbers, I don’t think have the explosive charge anywhere close to the impact in the video (which also seems immediate and not a bunch of secondary explosions.)
They don’t evict Palestinians, though.
The only thing I can think of is that some of the more moderate Arab states put some pressure on the Biden administration. Because initially the posture seemed more like they were going to be 100% on board with whatever – even directing the State Department to not talk about things like ceasefires, de-escalation, and the normal stuff that the State Department should always be talking about. And it really seems like that has changed a bit since the end of last week/this weekend after Blinken was meeting with some of them.
At least with the air defenses the weakness that was exploited would be common to all air defense systems. It’s a failure of tactics/strategy instead of a technical issue with the system.
The Ukrainians started throwing tons of cheap drones at targets and forced a dilemma: 1) Engage the drones, exhaust the air defense systems’ capabilities, and then the air defense systems get targeted by cruise missiles/air strike or 2) don’t engage as many drones, which lets them reach their targets.
Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome system was also overwhelmed with the sheer amount of relatively cheap rockets from Gaza during the Oct 7th attacks, but obviously Hamas lacks the sophistication to follow that up with attacking the systems themselves.
