I know it is a shocking paradigm shift where Israel is not the victim anymore and has become the victimizer, but that is where things apparently sit at today in many people's view.

That's because they are brain dead morons that have been hand fed a bunch of garbage.  They also haven't been taught to use "deductive reasoning" to figure out things for themselves.

Have you looked at the numbers? Have you seen the statements made by the Israeli authorities themselves? Just asking because I don't see how facts qualify as a bunch of garbage.

Huh, my invite to this must have been stuck in the Pentagon 's DEI person email queue.

I'm already at work so I guess I'll stay.

Iran trying to piss everyone off?

Quote
Pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement confirming Tuesday's attack, which was first announced by Iranian media reports that were later withdrawn.

It called the attack an 'unprovoked violation' of the country's airspace, with the strikes reportedly targeting bases of Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl.

The attack further raises tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

It also threatens relations between Iran and Pakistan, which have long eyed each other with suspicion while maintaining diplomatic relations.

Not unlike many of the other "useful idiots" of the left who are often among the first people shot when leftists gain power. Leftist regimes don't tolerate trouble makers and by that point many of the useful idiots are no longer useful so off to the mass graves they go.

You would think they would have figured this out by now but I guess they're called idiots for a reason

Isn't it weird that all of them were NCOs and officers? Or was something lost in translation?

The IDF has a significantly different Force Structure that US Forces.  Sergeant is an E-3 over there.  They also run a more top heavy Force with more Officers and less Enlisted then we do.  More like the European forces.

So you'll see more officers than us, because what we'd ahve a Sr. NCO do, they are doing with officers, and you'll see more "NCO"s then we have because their Sergeant's and Staff Sergeants are E-3 and E-4.

Hamas rejects a ceasefire

Quote
Hamas just said that releasing the hostages WOULD ONLY happen under the following conditions:

- End of the war

- Complete withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza

- Release of ALL Palestinian detainees, including those convicted of murder in terrorist attacks 

- International guarantees that Hamas leadership would be left to rule Gaza, AND won't be targeted by Israel


Hamas fully intends to take Gaza down with them
Think that will let the air out of the protests for Israeli to declare a ceasefire? Yeah right.

Interesting.  The Gaza conflict has certainly opened up some rifts on the left.  I don't see any of those people voting for Trump, but I wonder if either the anti-Israel left or the Jewish left will stay home in any significant numbers over the issue.

I think that they are saying to Israel do what you feel you need to do but just don't flaunt it so much in the future.
