Their last attack killed a single Palestinian and Israel just destroyed their air defense with planes in response. There is no scenario where Iran comes out ahead in this. Does the Supreme Leader think he has a chance, does he think he has to do this to save face to retain power, or is it just suicidal hatred of Jews and the West?
Israel definitely did its part, but I’m just saying Gaza was way better off even just on October 6th before Hamas started the war.
Mass murderers objectively have a pretty low value of human life. But there’s also the fact that he started an organization to send people to their deaths, brought unprecedented war to Gaza, stole humanitarian aid, stole millions of dollars, and has adamantly rejected any peace talks.
Here’s a pretty in-depth article on him.
He was literally convicted in 1989 of murdering 12 Palestinians. He only got out of prison because Israel cured his cancer and traded him for some hostages. He also killed 15 fellow Palestinians while in prison. Not to mention the whole founding Hamas thing which has done nothing but made the tragedy in Gaza ten times worse. He tanked any effort towards a two-state solution and insisted that an Arab-only ethnostate was the only acceptable solution, and he was willing to kill as many young men as required to try to make that happen.
The Butcher of Khan Younis? He’s arguably the one person on earth who cared the least for his people. Throughout his life, he killed and tortured Palestinians as pawns to inflame as much hatred as possible. He was a martyr for pure evil and is undeniably in hell. His people and Israelis alike are better for his death.
Killing terrorists isn’t genocide. Plenty of violent groups have been stopped by arresting or killing their members. That doesn’t mean their race, culture, or nation was destroyed though. The only “culture” that distinguishes them from those around them is a philosophy predicated on killing as many civilians as possible. Often people within their own culture stop them with violence since they often target their own.
Israel put bombs in pagers and radios and secretly sold them to Hezbollah. The only people who therefore would have had them were people Hezbollah gave them to to coordinate with. You can’t really get more targeted than that. There’s not some magic Jewish radio waves blowing up civilian radios lol.
But if they are active duty and have military comms, it’s just called an “attack”, not a “terror attack”, even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.
Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants.
You can look up the videos. People standing three feet away are fine while the person with the pager is down for the count. Innocents are always harmed in war, but this was about as precise and just a strike as humanly possible.
These were pagers specifically ordered by Hezbollah. Random civilians wouldn’t have had them.
Ironically, Odysee doesn’t have enough censorship for me. Like any fledgling community, the main inhabitants of any alternatives are people who aren’t welcomed on mainstream social media. And I don’t mean the modern “every person right of me is a Nazi”. I mean a lot videos have comments calling for killing all Jews, one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.
Technically, it’s fine, but who wants to post good videos or interact in a community of crazies?
Someone ideologically somewhere between his greatest heroes, Stalin and Mao.
Call it pessimistic, but if your society relies on building many, many more houses out of the goodness of their hearts, you’re going to have a bad time.
Artificial price caps just disincentivize people from creating more of that good. They don’t solve the underlying problem at all. You just replace people paying more with widespread shortages and people not having it at all.
The goal to reduce prices to increase supply—incentivize people to create more of those things cheaper somehow.
Malt-O-Meal cereal is often better than the name brand and even comes in a resealable bag.
You mean 40% of Democrats want to decrease it, while the swing voters she needs to win an election are the most likely to support sending current or greater levels of support.
I don’t think she thought she was negotiating anything.
If John Sparkman, George McGovern, and John Kerry didn’t get indicted for violating it, I think it’s just unenforceable law for anyone.
It’s not even capitalism but just society in general. Good people typically look at what it takes to lead and want nothing for it. To strive to be in charge of things you have to have a certain arrogance and to succeed you have to be ruthless enough as well.
So he’s just completely delusional?
