2023 Israel-Palestine Armed Conflict

Probably a retarded question but how are the goatfuckers still constantly producing, editing, and posting content online if the region’s electricity and internet has been shut down? Does Hamas have some kind of work-around for it that the rest of the general public in Gaza doesn’t have? Are they just using like generators and cellphone hotspot wifi? Or is their content made and posted by someone who currently isn’t even in Gaza?
(just curious)

Is Israel pretty much a lolcow country at this point? It seems nobody at all either Jews, Palestinians or any other associated forces have ever benefited from its existence in modern history at all.

If Muslims had full control of Jerusalem and Nazareth, people from other religious groups would not be allowed to visit and pray there. Under Israeli control, anyone can go.

HAMAS with a message to the IDF: “A message to the ground forces: This is what awaits you when you enter Gaza”

Also just noticed that the RPG didn't even dent the armour. This is not the win you think it will be, Hamas.

Realistically Israel has never used its full force in a modern conflict with Hamas directly. Previous engagements were much, much different even compared to 10 years ago. It's really hard to guerrilla warfare when the IAF/IDF is going to have zero issues over just flattening any position that a terror cell is even remotely thought to be digging in to.

Unlike before, UAVs are much, much more compact and can zoom in and out of buildings and tunnels. Gaza isn't a geographically rich area like Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. It's literally smaller than most western cities and their extended suburbs. It has never been a meme that the IAF could wipe it out within a few days if they really wanted to.

Unlike before, the nature of this war has completely changed against Hamas' favour. The Israelis will be bloodlustful. They will be validated in shooting everything and anything they consider to be between them and Hamas' leadership. This time there is no mass condemnation from major governments -- every government is crying for poor civilians while at the same time not asking Israel to stop. There will be no Egypt to save Gaza either, and Lebanon is too factional to really offer much help.

The entirety of Gaza is likely going to be considered a hot zone and after the evacuation order has been given the IDF can now use the excuse of Hamas trying to force civilians to stay as an excuse as to why there will be significant casualties.

Nothing would have been literally better for them.

The drone swarms are starting up again and there are more sounds of traditional manned aircraft than before. If the IDF is going in tonight then there will be a massive barrage of artillery and strikes leading up to it. Right now the IDF has been mostly reserved in their total use of force compared to what they're really capable of. Once it starts it'll be pretty much a wipe out. Hamas doesn't have the man-power, equipment or support to fight an all out war and now that more and more civilian captives have been discovered dead the only real thing stopping the IDF from turning the area to dust is gone.

Livestream here;

Drone swarm heavily heard in stream.
More traditional aircraft heard overhead compared to normal.

Can't wait to see these fucking idiots try to "sneak up" on Israeli armoured columns.

Yeah, they had success in the surprise attacks because you had lone tanks out there. It will be a bit different this time.

Navy female fighters spray with mags, fighters drop depth charges and shoot the Bee and the Wasp with their personal weapons at point blank range. Much more will be said about the battle conducted by the men and women of Squadron 916 from the Ashdod base, at sea, while simultaneously firing and maneuvering against anti-tank missiles from the shore. A battle that prevented an invasion by Hamas terrorists on the shores of Ashkelon on Saturday morning

The 916th Patrol Squadron is apparently the IDF unit responsible for the ongoing security of the coastal vicinity of the Gaza Strip.

I wonder what the lethal radius on those little depth charges is.

That's simple - they aren't. They'll have supporters/leaders in other countries producing it.

Also the roof knocking has started. Expect strikes within 15 minutes.

Not validating a trans person as hecking valid is genocide now, friend.

But in seriousness, I think people see this as a hallmark of or precursor to genocide because there are factions in Israel who do want to genocide the Palestinians, and the 10 stages of genocide meme explictly acknowledges ethnic cleansing (and especially that recent announcement that Israel expects territorial gains in response to Hamas) as a key stage in the run up to a genocide

This is in part related to how the Jews got forced into ghettoes before the real killing started. Obviously it's in no way 1:1 as Israel is pursuing enemy combatants as a background, but you'll see them touching on all the greatest hits.

Hmm, a well thought out response.

So the answer would be that at present they are not doing a heckin' genocide, but it could become one pretty easily from this point.

Off the cuff I would bet it to be some sort of satellite internet.
Starlink or a competitor yeah?

@AssignedEva

It's not really that surprising it didn't turn in to a riot. We almost never have riots here in the UK. I'm not sure if it's the general stoicism that infects everyone who lives here long enough or the fact that the police just kinda treat these people like children to the extent that they're almost invisible to protestors.

I've taken part in some demonstrations in my life here and the Police may as well be furniture for the amount of notice you give them during it and the same level of chimping out doesn't happen all that often. Most ethnics here usually have jobs and shit to go back to on a Monday.

The UK is fucked for a lot of reasons but (somehow) our politics and protests almost never descend in to something particularly violent; there may be a few clashes with police here and there but overall I think most people - even the hardlners - know its worthless to catch a charge over something happening thousands of miles away.
