Israel and the IDF have their own issues, but seeing people celebrate brazen terrorist is pretty shocking. So basically the exact same as the morons in this country openly rooting for Russia?
October 9, 20232 yr I would call them celebrations, not protests. And all over twitter there are videos of them from Sweden to England to Tampa. Some are countered by Israeli's and I expect these to escalate before this is all over.

God knows how many are coming through our border. Not surprised in the least seeing vids and pics of these assholes celebrating.

October 9, 20232 yr What's pretty interesting about those Canadian schmucks is they're riding in/on a late-model truck and decently dressed in western clothing. Not really what you envision when thinking of radicalized jihadists. Quite unseemly, but I wonder how much of it is just being dumbass young males.

If they are from Palestine there is a decent chance they are just really stupid. I think the country’s average IQ sits at 83.

October 9, 20232 yr We all know how well our response to that went too. We got Bin Laden after 10 years!Yes, but what was really important, in hindsight, was the friends we met along the way.
October 9, 20232 yr And so the morning begins. Great place to store weapons when you care about your population.

October 9, 20232 yr Good thread providing some clarity about what move happened at the music festival. Nothing particularly graphic. ... The thread continues to describe the map and timeline, including groups of looters who arrive.
October 9, 20232 yr Buzz also believes Russia is the righteous one in Ukraine. He is an idiot. The first statement is a complete fucking lie. The second is probably true.

October 9, 20232 yr We are in the "find out" portion of the curve and I hope they root out these rats. Bigger picture is that they need to chase them to the source (Qatar, Iran, etc).
October 9, 20232 yr That’s horrific.It’s also the smart play.War is hell.That’s why you really should avoid choosing that path if you at all can.We 100% agree on your last statement.
October 9, 20232 yr We 100% agree on your last statement. Tell us the play you think Israel should make.And remember, their enemy has unambiguously declared genocide of Israel and all Jews everywhere in the world to be their goal. That enemy has just slaughtered hundreds of Israeli civilians.In a situation where your enemy fundamentally declares “it’s you or me,” what sane human wouldn’t choose to kill the person saying that?
October 9, 20232 yr I'm sorry, you think Ukraine shouldn't defend itself and we shouldn't support it. I'm not sure that is much of a distinction. Strike two, but nuance and critical thinking doesn’t abound on that topic. But this isn’t the thread for that, and I apologize to everyone for bringing it up.

I just wanted to quote you on the broader subject.
October 9, 20232 yr I had a terrifying thought last night. What if Hamas has a nuke? There are old Russian warheads that were "lost" back in the 1980's. It's been speculated that they landed in Iran. And, North Korea's been making warheads for years. Many of us have commented that this doesn't make any sense, because it's suicide for Hamas, and it gives Israel carte blanche to destroy Gaza and kills tens of thousands of Palestinians. Hamas can't possibly think that they're going to conquer Israel. But, if you had a warhead or two, and you wanted to draw much of the Israeli military into a relatively small space, then martyr yourselves and your people, maybe with a promise from Iran that they would finish off the greatly weakened Israel... I know this sounds like a Tom Clancy book, but it would make some sense of something that otherwise doesn't. Could this be their final suicide bombing?
October 9, 20232 yr Does Israel negotiate with hostage takers? I feel like I’ve always heard that they do not, but that could just be lore.
October 9, 20232 yr Just now, Buzzrock said: Does Israel negotiate with hostage takers? I feel like I’ve always heard that they do not, but that could just be lore. They traded 1,000 Palestinians for 1 Israeli soldier in 2011.

If you count "If you don't let them go we are going to shoot everyone" as negotiation, then sure. Entebbe is a great historical example.

October 10, 20232 yr On 10/8/2023 at 8:38 PM, Brian Fantana said: You can literally find hundreds of images of dead Palestinian children from Israeli air strikes alone. Are those deaths any less horrific? I'm literally just trying to understand why those deaths don't move the needle for you, but these do. You're right. Hamas building their weapon systems and weapons storage systems in and under elementary schools and hospitals is horrifying and shows just how shitty of human beings they are. Glad we are in agreement.
