2023 Israel-Palestine Armed Conflict

The Internet Dick said:
Imagine you're an intelligence analyst or a section chief and you're sitting at your super-duper, ultra-modern, futuristic-looking console in a command center somewhere with an array of multiple monitors giving you real-time communications intercepts, satellite feeds, social media chatter, telephone conversations, photos, profiles, maps, movements, assessments--a flood of data so vast and fast-moving the feeling must be almost godlike. You see all, know all. Except you don't. Your enemy knows you over-rely on tech and blow off HUMINT. Unlike you, he adapts. He improvises. He knows he's not playing a fucking videogame and he's in it to win it.

I posit greater technological complexity in any given weapons or intelligence-gathering system is more susceptible to failure than more primitive but also more direct methods and means. I stick to iron sights on my favorite rifle because I know those sights, spartan as they are, won't fail me. I prefer a snubby revolver over a semiautomatic as my EDC because I trust the revolver to go bang every time. Reliability is preferable to any other quality when it comes to either weapon or approach.

Reliability is always Important and if something is crude but it works then that crude object is a working object. I don't shit on people's gun choices because any modern firearm is deadly in the right hands. A few men with rusty rifles and surprise tactics can surprise even the best equipped troops.

I disagree on your EDC carry of a revolver but then again I prefer capacity and check my guns.

Not a femcel, sport. But as I said, I’ll discuss elsewhere. There’s a war going on, and your gratuitous, opportunistic efforts to bitch at women who do in fact fucking know what “real rape” is aren’t apposite here.

Look I get where he's coming from even if the spergy nonsense is dumb. It gets frustrating when you're dealing with actual war crimes and genocide and people being raped and murdered to make a point of we hate you often gets conflated with things like unwanted sexual assault ranging from the stealing of a woman's panties to date rape is the same as violently raping someone with a knife and rifle barrel to appease Allah. Like we need to have a gradient to understand certain crimes are more heinous then others.

interesting to note how middle of the road boomer liberals/democrats/moderates who would generally be anti-Israel are now backed into a corner where they're forced to raise lighters to "Stand in solidarity with Israel." I wonder if mainstream MSM like oliver/colbert will go so far as to try to give Israel the Ukraine treatment this week and convince us this is some kind of moral crisis or something. probably.

I wonder if Israel and the neo-cons back Donald J Trump after this shit show and the milqtoast response from the Whitehouse in 2024. We might even see the adl start trying to reach out to pro white organizations and work together. But that's optimistic thinking.

They can't ignore it. It isn't straight Israel Vs. Muslims common noise - It's now an international incident where people of all nationalities and ideologies were slaughtered pointlessly by "freedom fighters".

Shit is fucked. Even the most diehard progressives are going to walk on eggshells about this. I bet you right now countless social media posts as we speak are getting scrubbed.

Im genuinely surprised. Most of my friends share the same opinions on stuff (i.e. mainstream lib). But this looks like a solid 50% split opinion.

Indians love sucking up to whoever they view as their better. It's in their DNA

And good thing they do, too. A humble Indian tends to be very hospitable, very welcoming, very kind. If you are White and have blue eyes, you will be treated very well among Indians! It's when Indians feel they are the superior of another that their behavior becomes intolerable. Providentially, White Supremacy is baked into their DNA.

Anyway, I don't see how much your 'sheltered-ness' factors in to your ability to acknowledge the multiple seventies of rape, and to sympathize in turn. This dude is real & honest, hardworking, battlehardened MAYUN, we assume, so his brain must be wired differently. Getting a nice clean shot to the head vs. Being slowly ripped apart by a woodchipper. One is clearly more preferred to the other, but you are still getting murdered.

This is one of the rare occassions where both lefties & righties are having a genuinely difficult time coping with the fact that this conflict cannot be neatly boxed into 'nice progressive side vs. strict conservative return-to-tradition' The copenseethen will be absolutely delicious to watch.

The Western world needs actual nuanced problems like this to snap it out of this retarded lefty vs. righty obsession. Of course it's optimistic to think that'll result from this event but it's surely a taste of what's to come.

The late night turbolib people are the least likely to give Israel the Ukraine rub.

Those two especially, along with Jon Stewart, are far left enough and have bought in to racial identity politics enough that they're on the pallies side for sure. Gotta support the brownest people in any conflict. Maybe they can't straight up support the attacks, but they think that they are simply the inevitable result of "Israeli colonialism," and this is Israel getting their just desserts.

Got a call at 5 in the morning I'm going to reserve duty. I don't expect to be in any danger zones but if I stop commenting then know I died for glorious nation of Israel. Also it already puts me at a higher position than most internet tough guys.

Think of the book opportunities, "A Kiwi Goes to War". But it's not about a new zealander.

Yeah... that woman in the video we saw is dead now. 100%. You're bringing up gender politics about a woman raped to death.

Dunno if anyone brought this (Article) up before, but a bit before the attack some American destroyed some Roman statues. Specifically, he destroyed two statues; one of the goddess Athena, and the other one dedicated to the goddess Nemesis.

"Police say the man damaged the statues because he said they were "against the Torah", Judaism's most important text.

His lawyer has denied that he had acted out of religious fanaticism, according to the AP news agency."

Listen, I'm not Greek. Or Roman. But realistically, these are probably the worst two deities to get on the bad foot with in anyone's position, least of all in the state of Israel.

Edit: For context, Athena is a lampshade goddess of multiple things including warfare, wisdom, and specifically for this instance revenge. Nemesis I don't think I have to explain much about, it's in her name, but the extra spice to it is that she "personifies retribution for the sin of hubris: arrogance before the gods". Also, they were dated to be from the second century.
I'm fucking sneeding.

So. Jews deface the statue of a goddes of warfare and she returns the gesture with a horde of dunecoons.

Heh.
