2023 Israel-Palestine Armed Conflict

I'm sure the rationale was "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!"

Off camera you also heard live rounds being fired. I would assume at the locals who were starting to congregate angrily. If this is how the IDF is acting in the West Bank which is ostensibly run by the collaborationist Fatah Organization, I don't think Gaza is in for a good time once the ground offensive starts.

I have a gut feeling some expat Palestinians are going to target Synagogues and possibly churches or rallies.

Eventually, they will. Especially if the US/Europe will be dragged into kinetic war in the ME. Expect mass shootings, bomb attacks and a lot of dancing Israelis in the streets (esp. if your country is reluctant to send the forth the best ye breed to die for Israel).

it is almost like having a large multicultural city full of vastly different cultures and religions who oppose each other and can barely get along even on a good day might not be such a good idea.

I'm unfamiliar with Israeli law. What is the legal process and reasoning that quickly was able to determine this punishment was appropriate?

israeli law is might makes right, unless it is someone else who is stronger. their view is that whatever they can get away with is suitable punishment.

Why is it that entertainers and other mostly useless folk feel the need to even state who they support in things? Staying quiet is free, and it's less effort to not post stuff online. Am I missing something?

Sounds like you've missed social media since about 2016. "Your Silence Is Violence" etc etc. There is an expectation on some public figures that they need to make a public statement on the left-wing cause du jour or else they must obviously side with whatever the worst possible take is, and if they ever speak out about anything else they'll get harranged by "y'all were awfully quiet when (insert aggrieved group) folx were dying but now you saying this?". There's also celebs that will just basically post "uncontroversially awful thing happened, thoughts and prayers".

Given how messy Israel/Palestine is and how horrific the videos have been (to the point they've broken a lot of the conventional leftist group consensus on who the "good guys" are, from what I've seen) a lot of these public figures could have probably gotten away with shutting the fuck up, but they + their PR agents are so primed for the cycle of discourse now. That joke video about an actor not knowing which flag to post that was posted upthread wasn't really too far off the mark.

My personal recent favourite has been Jamie Lee Curtis accidentally posting a picture of Palestinians while trying to express solidarity with Israel

although I also enjoy how Bruno Mars literally just left Israel (he was booked to play Tel Aviv when the invasion happened) and has seemingly had no opinions about it since.

yeahhhhhh tomorrow is gonna be bad. This is going to reach BLM riot levels.

The BLM riots acted with impunity because they did so at the direction of the State. The pro-Palestine protestors do not have the protection of conducting a state sanctioned protest. Even so, I eagerly away the crowd of woke idiots protesting for Palestine with the assumption that its just another cause. More the fools they. The State allowed their youthful excess when it suited their purposes. Now that it no longer does, they will be punished severely for it.

Weep not for them though Kiwis. This is not a Grave. It is the future they chose. I will publicly cry and wail, and gnash my teeth at seeing the right of protest so cruelly punished. While internally I will laugh. As long and as loudly as I laughed at the video of the BLM protestors run over by cars they tried to block on the interstates.

I have a question about the water situation because to me it seems like it might be very serious.
Does the gaza strip have other sources of water? Humans can only survive maybe a handful of days without water, especially in the 80f weather that Gaza would have. I don't know if they have any water wells, and I don't know if they have the capacity to do desalination in enough volume.

If the gaza strip hadn't stockpiled water or have access to other sources, then it may be just a matter of days before the vast majority of it's population just start dying of thirst. men, women, the elderly, children, babies. all would suffer, with the weakest dying first.

Seems like it could be a reoccurring issue

i think it rained the day after letting them collect water because god hates the jews
