Israel (now broader Mid East discussion) (2 Viewers)

I thought about adding something along the lines of "but these are literal children and doubt they know what it really means".

Honestly, I'm trying to KISS (anybody need me to translate that acronym?) most of the ideology talk here and just stick to, I guess, broad lines.

Though that chant is used by different people for different reasons, it's origins were refering to the Palestinian borders drawn by 1949 armstice agreement following the Arab-Israeli war. Of course to Israel and allies, this solely translates to the end of Israel as a state. And to be fair, some people/groups I'm sure do mean it that way, but certianly not all. I'd say the majority don't mean that. So, still, nothing about this conflict is simple.

This also is a good time to mention that Visegrad24 has some pretty clearly defined political leanings. That tweet's (X's?) assertion is one example of that.

Visegrad24 is another thieving aggregator inserting political commentary under the guise of “news”. They are part of the problem.

Yeah, I figured as much. I've tried to avoid posts from them, but they regularly pop up in my feed. Yuck.

Smoke gives it away......they always have trouble making smoke behave normally so that's the first thing I look at.

Hamas is releasing two US hostages. A mother and her daughter:

Biden ‘didn’t hear the full question’ on whether Israel should delay Gaza ground assault, White House says – as it happened

White House says US president was only commenting on whether he wanted to see more hostages released

Human rights investigators raise new questions on Gaza hospital explosion

Along with the very real and violent war on the ground - there is also a fierce information war. Like Tuesday's explosion at the Gaza hospital which Hamas says killed hundreds of people. Israel says it was a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, which they deny. Hamas says it was an Israeli airstrike...

My opinion of Israel is changing. What they're doing is wrong and not only that won't accomplish the goals they think it will. They're just creating another generation of people that hate them and us.

It means we have to start over. The IDF narrative is false, but we do not know what happened Tuesday. I think the best *theory* of the case left—requiring investigation—is an errant Tamir interceptor fired from an IDF position on the Gaza-Israel border southwest toward PIJ’s position in the...

Makes biden look bad for coming out and saying it wasn't an IDF rocket. His best move there would've been to say he's waiting for the investigation.
