2023 Israel-Palestine Armed Conflict

BREAKING: Foreign national Palestinians can cross from Gaza into Egypt on Monday, officials say, when the border opens to also allow in humanitarian aid.

I asssess Israel likely accepted that a small number of Hamas members may be able to slip out of Gaza. Key members of the organization have held U.S. citizenship. See: https://longwarjournal.org/archives/2021/05/hamas-fighter-with-american-citizenship-killed-in-recent-gaza-conflict.php

No, that's what belts are for. Military pants have belt loops for belts. If your shit is "tailored" it will probably rip the first time you have to climb a fence or sprawl on the ground to get behind cover.

It's like you've either never worn pants or never done anything remotely physical while wearing them.

Look, 1) quality tailoring fit for purpose (“fit for purpose” = appropriate to the use) doesn’t rip anymore than the original seams, and 2) if clothes are created for a male body and you have a female body, then a belt is just going to create a bunchy mess that’s going to be distracting; better to have pants that don’t require extraneous elements in order not to fall down.

FFS, people getting exercised about someone getting clothes tailored to fit and not fall down when you’re supposed to be focused on more important things.

Of all the things to get weird about.

If you want military to be laser-focused on the mission (yes), then don’t be a dipshit if they mildly modify the state-issued gear so that they don’t have to hitch shit up when they need to focus.

Tl;dr: tailoring clothes removes the need for additional elements or being held back by stupid clothes falling down. A uniform that actually somewhat fits means that the person wearing it doesn’t have to be distracted by it when doing their fucking job.

(It’s like you’ve never had a waist or hips. There’s a reason women’s clothes are designed differently than men’s.)

Thats what has the Israel govt so shook. They thought Hamas was hopelessly infiltrated and could never be a real threat. They thought Hamas were *their guys* which is why they supported them against the secular PA which you can read about here:

The West and its allies have been faceplanting hard in the HUMINT department. Seems they thought their technology was a magic oracle that would let them know the thoughts of anyone on Earth. Ironic that Peter Thiel called his data-harvesting tool Palantir, because the use of such technology is leading to the same disastrous tunnel vision as in LotR.

Israel likely supported Hamas because their focus on violence made them easy to vilify - as one Israeli wrote, Palestinians launching a South Africa-style campaign for voting rights would have ended Israel. They chose to frame the conflict as one that could only end in violence, which worked when they had the powerful militaries of the West behind them. Now the West is crumbling thanks to their cultural subversion and they're staring down potentially hundreds of millions of pissed-off Arabs.

Santa Claus comes from a combination of Saint Nicholas (receiving presents from him is a custom going back to medieval times) and the English folk figure of Father Christmas. Father Christmas has also been around for centuries and has particular ties to the Germanic festival of Yule, which got incorporated into Christmas when people became Christian.

Santa Claus is Odin, in his capacity as lord of gifts along with a kind of reinterpretation of the Wild Hunt.

Sorry the Jews are replacing worship of the King of the Jews with European traditions, bro, that sucks.

How horrible! Remember to take breaks from reading the news and from investing yourself into current events. Importing and acting out someone else's blood feud makes you retarded!

I see what you mean and I agree but I know women in the IDF, many will go the extra step to make sure they look good. Hey I'm not blaming them, they are forced to be there, get paid shit wages while all their foreign friends are in college. They're bored, in really good shape and surrounded by men who are their age and also in really good shape. For many the idf is like us college, they live in dorms and it is where many meat their first girlfriend/boyfriend and have sex for the first time. It is legitimately exactly how many college aged girls in the usa will wear skimpy clothes at parties while the older college aged girls don't dress like that at the same parties. Finally because the idf is a draf army there are models who serve and those are the ones people in the west see.

I'm going to carefully update my notes and add 'do not live in an area where "emergency room" is a bomb shelter in the apartment building.'
