Those calling for total victory from one side are echoing a sentiment I’ve recently been thinking about. This whole situation makes the case for finishing the fucking job when you start an ethnic cleansing.
That being said, whoever wins, the victor group will split up into other groups and they'll all turn on each other, starting it all over again. Even other Islamic countries don't like Palestinians and are just using them as proxies to murder Jews and don't give a fuck if Gaza gets the shit bombed out of it in the process. When Hamas won elections there they could have actually done something to improve life for the average person living there, but no, they had to act the fool and get their country shut down with their violent behavior.
The Israeli army is a 5th rate conscript force with 2nd rate weapons (1st rate now that they're realizing they need actual guns instead of tavors) that routinely gets in spats with 6th rate conscript forces with 6th rate weapons. (one of the under analyzed things about hezbollah is that volunteer armies tend to perform much better than conscript ones on average, this may be a contributing factor their outsized success, IDK, no ones done the analysis. Conscript forces suck generally, see ukraine and russia for multiple examples)
I'm not impressed they managed to eke out a victory with WW2 surplus on retards considering everything 3 years prior.
It's almost as if wanting to fight and being motivated to win make some degree of difference. There is a lot of institutional rot in the IDF as well, and I've noticed a lot of their gear is decades old and often US surplus. It is their ancient homeland though, granted they got largely driven out by the Romans and again by the Crusaders and clashed with their neighbors even before the British screwed the pooch by putting the Jewish settlers in charge of the whole thing, but muh Holocaust of course.
Muslim Americans are the real victims in all this, you guys.
Wrong, Twitter users are the real victims for having their retarded takes on Middle Eastern affairs mocked despite being experts for days.
If they were worth a shit the israelis would use them as a full on service weapon.
I have fired a Tavor clone, it's okay but I wouldn't get one for myself, maybe because I'm a Kalashnikov guy but the $2000 price tag at the time just says "I'm for serious collectors" as well. If you really want a Jew gun I'd rather have a Galil clone. Israeli made stuff is better than average overall and their ammo is cleaner and more consistent than Lake City.
If the world walked away and let the war play out then they wont like the outcome.
Letting it play out means Israel gets wiped off the map. They are a spec in the middle of the Islamic world. A spec that needs constant infusion of money and weapons from their Greatest Goy to keep their little bunker secured.
Israel can go Total Gaza Death and it still wont end. They are still completely surrounded by people who want them dead. The endless cycle of violence will continue to be endless.
People keep calling this part of the world things like the Holy Land. I think they are wrong. Its actually cursed by God, not blessed. Nothing but endless pain, suffering and death has been happening there for 2000 years.
At this point I think the US should say "Fuck the Middle East" and pull themselves out of the bloodbath that they've contributed to for decades. Then again, it's the only relatively democratic country in a region filled with warlords, autocrats, and people who hate Jews to the point where they're willing to sacrifice their own children as proxy bombers in schools and daycare centers, all while crying about how they're "so oppressed" and getting morons on TikTok to fall for ten second edits of it.
yeah the cutting off water and power thing to Gaza sucks for any innocent civilians, but that's just a war tactic likely as old as war itself. Like have you never heard of surrounding a city and cutting off its supply chain to starve the city out? This is incredibly common throughout all the world in mankind's history. Sure it's a medieval tactic, but it's not like this is some new "war crime" the Israelis pulled out of their ass as an extra "fuck you" to the Gazans
And anyway, Israel turned the water back on in southern Gaza as a way to incentivize people to gtfo and evacuate
I just love how giving a warning to civilians and letting them evacuate to the area you don't want to strike is somehow morally equivalent to massacring entire families on a kibbutz, according to Twitter.
I think that's unfortunately a consequence of the culture degenerating to the point where there is no shared history or philosophy that people can effectively appeal to outside of Latest Consoomer Product.
That being said, why does a democratic nation like the Galactic Republic flirt with a religious order like the Jedi Temple?
Admittedly I've only handled semi-auto civilian versions in gun shops (and haven't fired them myself), but out of just simply handling them I've personally found the Croatian VHS rifle to be most well balanced feeling bullpup that's out there, being a lot less back heavy and having a smoother trigger than either the Tavor or the AUG.
I've live fired, it's okay but I'm not a bullpup person.
How quiet and quaint would Britain be right now without the foreigners there.
Indeed, We live in a period.
Importing a bunch of people who don't want to get along with the local culture is paying off well, I see.
Sounds like the excuse that black people make whenever they throw a riot.
At least they usually burn down their own neighborhoods and leave other areas alone. Then they bitch about businesses leaving and never coming back. In fact it's gotten so bad in Chicago there's talk of setting up government owned grocery stores to replace the ones idiots looted and burned.
Blowing up journos is a public service however, so it balances out.
No sympathy here especially after years and years of fucking lies. The New York Times might as well be Pravda for their blatant lies about recent happenings.
Fucking really. The last shipment I got from Ammosquared had 5.56 at like $0.32-42CPR and now it’s shot up to like $0.70CPR on TargetSportsUSA. I’ve still got a small stash of M193 and a slightly larger stash of M855 (muh “green tipz”) but it just sucks. I just checked TargetSportsUSA and 70% of their 5.56 offerings are out of stock
I already got a little bit of the Jew stuff before everything went awry. Granted I'll probably buy a little here and there but thankfully I also have components as well if I decide to go that route, but for general stashing you should have been doing it a while ago. Don't panic, it is common enough just a temporary run, I just wish lead core 62 grain was more common though.
That's not what the images show. The steeple and chuch bells are still standing and clearly visible. The rebar belongs to the bombed-out two-storey structure highlighted in red:

It's possible the damage to the old church is worse than we've seen. We'll know more in 24 hours. Meanwhile, 100+ people appear to have been killed while they slept in that two-storey building. From the church office of public relations:
That's a terrible mistake or an intentional war crime on Israel's part. Either way it's yet another awful human tragedy. I want to dub Biden's boast about "bombs Made in the USA" over the clip of smoking ruins and crying survivors.
On the up side, maybe Joe Biden's support for Israel will get the lefties to turn against him and ruin his election chances?
