Those look like neighborhoods, not military bases.
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.” Source
Indeed; that’s a lot of so-called “human shields”.
This is the direct result when you have the democrats control the military basis, ergo, lack if funding and thereupon unremarkable military basis Source here. It is for this reason I will cast my vote for the orange man during the election season assuming they don’t spoof the ballots.
Edit: You democrats can downvote me but when Biden comes to take your guns it will be this comment you remember

You won’t, and for the same reason nobody tries to convince the guy with the “end is nigh” sandwich board that he’s wrong.
Cause he’s telling the truth? What is your point?
Hey, have you heard of reddit? It’s an exciting and dynamic platform where you would really stand out. You should check that out rather than wasting your time here.
I hear X is also lacking such informative and nuanced takes.

Hey, fuck off please.
Prove me wrong democrat
No up votes at all; ie even you downvoted you.
Proof enough for me. Go back to your bridge troll.
/edit: first pic was the original comment. He came back to this reply to downvote himself again:
Man, it’s been far too long since I’ve seen some fresh gimmick accounts.
Are you open to feedback? I think people would enjoy your schtick if you made it a bit more believable. Put a little effort into your character – what are they about? what makes them tick? (For example, would this character be triggered by the fact that they were addressed as “they/them”?) Give your gimmick some soul instead of having it feel like a lazily copy/paste of r/conservative comments. Best of luck!
Americans are downvoting you.
There’s only 34 Americans 🤔🤔
somehow this idiot equated gaza to the 2nd amendment.
It’s almost like Israel was just waiting for an excuse to level the entire place. Feeling very sad for all the people who have lost thier lives due to this fued over an imaginary man. I know it’s a very complicated situation but this is uncalled for.
I mean, I’m sure plenty were. There are outright racial supremacists in the government. They had barely won a majority in the knesset, failed to gain a majority of votes, and were facing serious opposition because of stuff like this:
But that being said, this is also simply the nature of urban warfare. Grozny, Bahkmut, Mosul, Baghdad, … This is what urban warfare looks like. Someone shooting from the appartment building? Bomb the building.
It’s not like an American war movie, but that’s the reality of war. It’s utterly horrific.
Not necessarily a war crime either. You’re allowed to accidentally kill civilians, as long as you were proportional in your response to violence. And obviously people disagree on what is or isn’t proportional, depending on which side they’re on. International law probably needs to change, but it’s not as if it’s that relevant anyway. Might makes right is still the most important principle of international relations.
A lot of this is precision bombing. Carpet bombing would have looked and been 10x worse.
Oh, and not to be a bummer, but this? This is nothing compared to what comes next if Israel decides to launch a ground invasion.
IRC the civilian death toll recapturing Mosul from ISIS was 40,000. And that was after they allowed civilians to evacuate. Gaza is 2.5 million living on an area the size of a postage stamp, on top of a network of tunnels filled with explosives. Not as if either side give too much of a shit about civilian casulties either. The death toll will be absurdly high.

I don’t know what to tell you.
“Precision” bombing was always a bit of a euphemism to disguise the cold reality, just like “collateral damage”. A bit of propaganda speak to make it all seem more palatable to audiences who want to believe in fairy tails.
It’s more precise than carpet bombing the entire neighbourhood, but you can’t bomb a building and expect the shockwave to stop just past the windows. But hey, ‘only’ killing a hundred civilians is more precise than inadvertently killing a thousand. You did your best, so arguably you tried to be proportional in your response, and not hurt too many civilians. Arguably nice and legal, according to international law.
The initial 2003 invasion/bombing of Iraq was basically a set of coordinated surgical strikes. Shock and Awe. IRC that killed ‘only’ 7000 civilians. Doubt ordinary Iraqis were as impressed as US media, but oh well.
Hell, just look at the twin towers. No bomb. No shockwave. The collapse of the towers still destroyed many of the surrounding buildings anyway.
This is what war looks like, behind all the newspeak designed to inhibit critical thinking.
Apartment buildings. Reminds me of Russia invading Ukraine.
I struggle to see how they aren’t comparable to Russia at this point.
There’s literally nothing left.
That’s what she said. /s
Wow. I pretty much live under a rock, so I haven’t been following this at all, really, apart from the odd headline.
It’s horrific.
Survive the genocidal maniacs long enough eventually live long enough to see yourselves turn into genocidal maniacs.
Careful. You don’t want to get labeled as antisemitic. /s
I was outraged when Hamas attacked Israel. Funny how the whole stance of ‘people shouldn’t kill eachother’ is controversial these days
Israel is sure showing how much they care about hostages by leveling as many buildings as possible. It’s a good thing the hostages have plot armor.
Watch out you’ll be accused for backing only Israel with a statement like that lol.
This took way too long for me to realize that they aren’t the same areas before and after, but adjacent to each other.
You can drag the line in the middle back and forth to show the whole place before or after.
Huh. Neat.

You know you’ll need more land when you’re making a resort after exterminating those pesky human animals.
