Or you know, Israel has turned the Star of David, a holy symbol throughout Judaism, into a hate symbol because the gazan’s they oppressed decided they had enough and struck back.
Look, neither side is the good guy. Both have hurt and murdered civilian populations.
It needs to stop. Lay down arms and talk. But this blood fued is older then all of us, and reason had never prevailed here.
Its a terrible loss for both sides, and the world at large.
I feel both sides will feel cultural backlash, to the point of outside violence, before this is over.
Actually, if Israel actually does launch a nuclear strike against Gaza, that will firmly put them in the “bad guys” category and justify every stupid fucking goddamn horrible thing that Hamas has ever done. Straight up.
There’s no hate behind my words, I like Israel and I have nothing but respect for the Jewish people, but if the Israeli government is allowed to just do that with no consequences, then it means evil truly has triumphed over good. I greatly fear to see what kind of a world such an action would create.
He has been censured by the Israeli government and stripped him of his ability to be in briefing meetings. Many in the Knesset are also now working to have him removed. The prime minister immediately released a statement that this was completely inappropriate and contrary to the way in which the IDF operates in accordance with the rules of armed conflicts.
Always has been. No one spews sulfur against the Jews like a Zionist. You are either with the right wing ethnostate nationalists or you are an antisemite, specially if you are Jewish.
Well it would be nice if our pathetic US government can finally start calling it what it is and maybe reconsider our involvement now that those within Israel are calling it by name…
But Raytheon aint going to sell those bombs themselves! :/
This is an interesting attack from an economic standpoint. While the cruise and ballistic missiles were worth the cost of interception, the shahed drones cost much, much less than the cost if intercepting (a fact frustrated Ukrainian air defense could talk all day about). Since about the 1990’s we’ve been in a situation where often the missile costs less than the enemy aircraft intercepted… but the cost of the missile va the drone cost has created a huge economic disparity in war. You have to pay the price to prevent death and damage, but a drone can now bleed a country in the pocket book without killing a person.
When viewed from this perspective, the iranian attack takes a new light. Sure, they announced the attack, and then made it, and the weapons were mostly downed. But at the end of the day, israel will spend 5:1 (at least) for the victory. A few weeks of this, and israel would run out of interceptor rounds and be taking serious hits… the answer to which, is… pay millions and millions to avoid this possibility, by overstocking interceptor missiles.
Hamas and Hezbollah have been launching near daily rocket attacks on civilian targets for over 6 months now. This attack is larger than the usual daily salvos, but still smaller than what Hamas launched on the first day.
It will be incredibly interesting to see if they continue to launch rockets after Iron Beam is deployed operationally with a marginal cost of interception far lower than the cost of a rocket or drone.
Funny how a bunch of non-governmental institutions uphold colonialism and anyone who wants to partake has to play ball… it’s like as if there’s an empire, an empire with flags from China, workers from Mexico and intellectual property made by Indians… but I can’t quite put my hamburger on it…
