How is Israel supposed to survive this? I have to imagine that if a war breaks out that isn't just a one-sided genocide, Israelis will leave the country in droves because many of them can, more so than probably any other nation on Earth. Highest rate of dual-citizenship on the planet and most of them are only 1-2 generations removed from European/US ancestry, many of them will have family in Western countries. They're already leaving and it's not even raining bombs yet.

Hamas is nowhere near destroyed. Israel is already being forced to conscript its ultra-orthodox population. Now they wanna fight Hezbollah? What is the plan here? Why does the US allow this to happen? How does Israel get out of this?

Back in the day, the US would at least make up some grand lies about whatever Arabs they designated as enemies. Weapons of mass destruction, throwing babies out of incubators, whatever.

With the Yemenis they're literally just like "yeah they're making number go down so kill them for us, peasants" and Americans are like "Ok!"

Have some self respect, come on.

Sending in so many tanks with no infantry support really was such a collossal L for Israel. Not just because of military tactics, I don't know anything about that and am kinda just parroting that part from others, but from a PR perspective.

In all the military footage that Hamas releases, Israel effectively dehumanizes itself by only being present inside these huge, bulky war machines while the Hamas fighters are small and more importantly, humans. When you see a group of actual people fighting a tank, you'll instinctively root for the humans. Seeing a human killed by a tank is shocking and disturbing, seeing a tank blown up does not have nearly the same emotional effect, even if you know there's a person in there.

Since Hamas released the footage of the guy running up to the tank, I've seen a noticeable shift from people going from just pro-Palestine to outright cheering for Hamas. The fact that it was always "Tanks vs Humans" made it much easier to root for Hamas as the brave underdogs going up agains the cold, overwhelming, unfeeling war machines. Had there been actual Israeli foot soldiers getting killed in those videos, it would've felt much more symmetrical and visceral, much less black and white. Like I said, Israel effectively dehumanized itself in the eyes of onlookers.

Let's say a billionaire wants to watch 456 poor people from Korea compete in winner-takes-all blood sports until only one participant is left, that winner receives ₩26.9B. All participants agree. Should this be allowed?

Me, the week after October 7th: Yes, Hamas is terrible and there is no justifying the attack, but Israel is a terrorist state and their uncritical endorsement by the West is criminal to say the least

Me, nearly a month later, completely jokerfied: Inshallah our brave Hamas fighters will bring an end to Israel in righteous jihad

I fucking hate Germany, I fucking hate Germans, dumbest fucking people on Earth, dumber than Americans by far, holy fucking shit. We truly never moved past the Nazis, it must seriously be in our blood that we just love genocide so fucking much. The people in this country actually still defend Israel, not even the American people are this fucking dumb and gullible to their state propaganda. Unironically posting takes such as "if we give food to the gazans then Hamas can focus on their terrorism" holy fuck.

I'm so fucking angry at this country, a country full of pathetic, genocidal maggots. Stalin should've flattened the entire state, the world would be better off for it.

Both her tits are literally the size of the baby.

Another one?

How detached can you be? Like sure, better training might be believable if you don't know any better, but a head taller than the French soldiers? "Weakest American soldier stronger than the strongest French soldier"?

You're from fucking Burgerland, you bozo. You're like a handful generations removed from Europeans at most, genetically speaking. You're the same fucking people.

while the other half parrots more Chinese propaganda (that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime).

Under liberalism, there are no good or bad actions, only good and bad teams

We did everything right and they defederated us, folks
