Once the ammo and armor are in short in supply, then suddenly it's back to a nearly frozen conflict. Nearly. And time for that wonderful trench warfar...

Gaza, who knows. Yet remember that Israel has basically twice tried to take care of Lebanon by launching an war against it. Twice it has had to retrea...
October 23, 2023 at 19:28
I don't think it's so. I don't think anyone (or nearly anyone) thinks Israel isn't allowed to deal with the terrorist threat it's facing. It's really ...
October 23, 2023 at 19:12
Those are obviously not the objectives here. Hamas doesn't want for Israel to "realize" anything. It's intentions aren't surely protecting the people ...
October 23, 2023 at 09:45
If some questions just why the Israeli occupation of the territories gained in the six day war is compared to Apartheid, here's a old but good documen...
October 22, 2023 at 18:53
Exactly. Basically the conflicts in the Middle East are upheld by religious zealots. This isn't actually the only one: There also the Shia - Sunni div...
October 22, 2023 at 07:29
As one stated, we are talking about the doppler effect and how projectiles sound. And then it's one hand held recorder (phone or video camera). The bi...
October 22, 2023 at 07:15
Your accusations of schizophrenia happen only because you seem to have the problem that the victim cannot be also a perpetrator and vice versa. Yet in...
October 22, 2023 at 07:09
Strawman as I've said again and again about Hezbollah, which isn't the Lebanese government. Your the one asking why "Lebanon cannot moderate". Well, t...
October 20, 2023 at 08:32
What can I say? Yes. Perhaps!
October 19, 2023 at 20:37
Well, in general nation states tend to be divided by ethnic lines. My country could have an ethnic division between the Finnish speaking majority and ...
October 19, 2023 at 20:35
Well, I'm not sure do they have an working government. Lebanon is nearly a failed state. Hezbollah, which does have seats in the Lebanese Parliament, ...
October 19, 2023 at 20:11
I think it's more about weakness than strength, actually. Imagine what would happen to a Lebanese government, if it tried to make peace with Israel? N...
October 19, 2023 at 16:24
One wonders about a lot of the support. But the support is given by politician who illogically see one or another weapon system as "escalatory" or som...
October 19, 2023 at 16:18
I wouldn't even consider the PLO as "moderates", mind you. They have had their own list of terrorist actions that they have done. And btw they have fo...
October 19, 2023 at 16:15
So which side you think I'm on? As I've stated, there are the Kurds, the Basques, actually quite many people that don't have their own land. We've jus...
October 19, 2023 at 16:07
Uh, call in hundreds of thousands of reservists and they just what, sit around and then go back home? And Bibi has already called it a war. I think th...
October 19, 2023 at 16:01
It's the brief time to go to Israel and show the support. It's more awkward when the land operation begins and the Palestinians really start dying and...
October 19, 2023 at 14:01
Well, on the other hand we do have photos of actual Hamas/Hezbollah Katjusha rockets that have hit Israel: https://dims.apnews.com/dims4/default/628b9...
October 19, 2023 at 13:49
And I think that the time has passed. Either Hamas or Hezbollah, even both of them on the same time, don't make an existential threat to Israel. Israe...
October 19, 2023 at 12:09
Hey! I'm writing! OK, There are several things that you can see even from earlier history taken place. 1) First is that when there are peace talks, Pa...
October 19, 2023 at 10:09
I think the accusations have already been fixed as Arab countries have already accused of Israel of being behind it and the Joe Biden has said he's co...
October 19, 2023 at 09:36
An air-burst ordnance could easily also do this. Or something else than air-to-ground bomb. And as the Channel 4 remarks, the Israeli spin media prese...
October 19, 2023 at 01:05
Well, now that there is more photos from the site, it seems that the explosion happened at the parking lot, which was full of people. People aren't ex...
October 19, 2023 at 00:55
Or the simple fact they can do it. The US can strike at Soleimani as they can strike at various targets in the Iranian nuclear program. Yet an overall...
October 18, 2023 at 22:55
But that's not actually the other side of the coin. It isn't either WW3 or this. It's either peace through deterrence or war. I'll try to explain what...
October 18, 2023 at 20:14
Well, then we have two USN carrier strike forces in the Mediterranean Sea ready to pounce the Hezbollah positions in Southern Lebanon. To help Israel,...
October 18, 2023 at 18:03
Unfortunately Hamas fighters run also on food and water, like the civilians. It looks like the "diplomatic effort" will be reduced to some humanitaria...
October 18, 2023 at 15:20
Listened to that also while driving. Yet the comedian makes sense, actually. Great how he comments on Ben Shapiro. :up: :100:
October 18, 2023 at 15:11
Something like that. I haven't heard myself incoming artillery fire, only outgoing. But there's there's a difference. Of course the fire that will hit...
October 18, 2023 at 12:44
Aahh.. a bit difficult as videos usually taken are with hand held devices that don't have good sound recording. But Here's incoming. As the cameraman ...
October 18, 2023 at 10:33
Yeah, that's why I find the most likely cause that Israel bombed the hospital and they are now rapidly making a media blitz (as @"Tzeentch" note they ...
October 18, 2023 at 10:05
The noise that ingoing and out going artillery makes is different. And then the fireball seems to be rather big. There's ample videos that show the di...
October 18, 2023 at 09:59
Wasn't Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters killing every Israeli they could find and reach already highly inflammatory? Correction, they did take some pr...
October 18, 2023 at 09:41
Giving in a few moments a media conference about "what actually happened"? Yes, I'm sure about that. And if WSJ reported a video that wasn't the hospi...
October 18, 2023 at 09:30
Oh I think it can recover. Every year brings a fresh new batch of conscripts and the Russian military industrial complex can chug out a limited number...
October 18, 2023 at 09:11
WSJ reported this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBfHf8browM&t=3s Including others, with similar video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAaw1hC39g...
October 18, 2023 at 09:06
Somehow the single most powerful rocket fired from Gaza ever, that could destroy whole buildings, misfired and hit one of the few hospitals in Gaza. T...
October 18, 2023 at 08:06
Lol. You aren't alone with that feeling.
October 18, 2023 at 07:46
Actually a very good summary/update about the armoured warfare in Ukraine made by the UK tank museum. As they do these videos about their museum piece...
October 17, 2023 at 17:58
Is it so? I think they are quite open about it. As Biden is coming to town, they naturally don't start the operation yet. Perhaps allow some trucks to...
October 17, 2023 at 17:52
Some said it was because Israel wasn't a dictatorship, but because it is a democracy (at least of Jews) and it is Western, hence we except more from s...
October 17, 2023 at 17:50
Really? So you are assuming that Hamas would give space for deescalation? Or you think IDF liberating hostages would mean deescalation? At least the L...
October 16, 2023 at 09:58
Yes, when the Palestinians were ardently in favour of Saddam Hussein, they could have anticipated what would be the result when Kuwait and Kuwaitis we...
October 16, 2023 at 09:11
Oh there's a natural cure for that. If people would live to be on average 200 years, I am totally sure that "we" would be far more conservative, far m...
October 16, 2023 at 09:04
It's the part of Japanese my daughter likes. Just to make the case that Japanese culture, as any culture, isn't just the old, the conservative part of...
October 16, 2023 at 08:49
Hilarious. You should learn yourself too about Russia's involvement in Ukrainian affairs before lecturing others. https://jamestown.org/wp-content/upl...
October 15, 2023 at 10:26
Yes. Russia needs to be an Empire. It cannot be anything else, or it ceases to exist! That is what the present leadership of Russia thinks. If NATO en...

Nostalgia, Muslim extremists have that nostalgia too: everything bad that is happening in their society is the product of the West and people mimickin...

Israel has actually evicted settlers. From Gaza and from Sinai too. The following pictures are from settlers in Sinai being evicted in 1982 after the ...
