Israel/Palestine

[dolomite]

I guess if you’re not Jewish you might not understand. Hitler tried to end the Jewish race over eighty years ago and Israel is bound and determined not to let it happen again. When Iran and its proxies say “death to Israel “ they mean everyone, (men, women, and CHILDREN).

Good.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Incredible stuff.

[Shirley]

Incredible stuff.

What am I missing? That the Shah's family wants their dictatorship back so badly, they'll even appear at an IAC convention to lobby for it?

[defixione]

Good.

BEIRUT—Israel’s airstrike on a building in southern Beirut didn’t just kill a top Hezbollah commander—it took out an entire class of senior leaders of the militant group’s most elite fighting force, as the two foes lurch closer to all-out war.

Hezbollah on Saturday raised the death toll among its fighters from Friday’s airstrike to 16, including top military commander Ibrahim Aqil and many of the senior commanders of the elite Radwan force...

It's hard to keep up with Bibi, these days:

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I put the odds at even money that Bibi is out of power by April 16th 2025.
I would laugh really hard if the IDF didn't let him back in to Israel.

Yeah, when I turned Fox on and saw him speaking at the UN, my reflex was to say, "arrest that bastard".

[Shirley]

Bibi getting his wish?

I equate the Houthis’ with a gang of bullies. Punch’em in the nose a time or two, they’ll go away.

The Iranians may be more persistent. Couple hundred birds in the air.

[MICHHAWK]

israel is doing gods work.

[Sparko]

The missile strike from Iran into Israel might be the last straw.

[jfish26]

israel is doing gods work.

Taking incoming from Iran?

[Overlander]

Yeah. And it doesn't have to be this way.

If Orange Julius were in charge, no one would have the balls to start a war.

[MICHHAWK]

you mean there is fighting. and turmoil in the middle east. you don't say.

[jfish26]

Yeah. And it doesn't have to be this way.

If Orange Julius were in charge, no one would have the balls to start a war.

I, for one, am looking forward to a (relatively) successful overnight defense of Israel, followed by Trump once again making squishy mouth-noises about the US needing an iron dome.

[Shirley]

I'd be more optimistic about this not spinning out of control if it wasn't what Bibi would benefit most from.

[MICHHAWK]

uncle joe and ch are funding two different wars on two different fronts. which one do you think is most likely to "spin out of control."

asking for a concerned friend.
