Well that was crushing, my day is ruined. Good fight and surprising amount of class from Khamzat though

We had a good DA in my city, he ended up getting killed by some billionaire vigilante who went after the police commissioners family
Those festivalgoers and babies on the other side of the wall were a serious threat to Palestinian civilians
The only reason they can cut off water and power is because Israel provides them with those things. PA has been given money to develop infrastructure, but Hamas chooses to cut up pipes to build rockets and use cement for smuggling tunnels.
I’m a huge Volk fan so I’m kind of worried about the short notice and recent surgery. But I’d think he gets a trilogy regardless for taking this fight
Lemmy has a huge tankie problem and it becomes really apparent when a situation like this comes up
Why tankies/leftists think Palestine is in any way aligned with them is beyond me
I’m not going to defend forcefully displacing innocents, obviously that is an atrocity in its own right. But it’s not indiscriminate killing like people are claiming.
Not having that data is exactly the point, if they had that sure they could specifically cut power. But they don’t have that, and Hamas is mixing with civilians, so they’re forced to cut power across the board
Hamas was elected in 2006 but has held on to power since. A poll from a few years back showed 52% support still, but I would hope that’s had a steep crash now
Do you have specific instances of Israel actually targeting civilians when they’re not being used as human shields? They’ve bombed civilian buildings, but usually because Hamas uses those buildings to house weapons. And with roof knocking/alerts, they are at least making some effort to limit collateral damage
There’s a ton of users here who seem to be so blinded by “America bad” and trying to have the biggest brain contrarian take. Half the time it leads them to into a pants on head level argument that ignores basic, undeniable facts such as “intentionally targeting hundreds of civilians and proceeding to kill, rape and torture them is wrong”
Well if they were taking photos with a flag I guess the logical conclusion is to start shooting
They seized control later on, but Hamas was elected in 2006. Still though, of course there’s plenty of Palestinians who don’t support Hamas
The idea of this being some sort of trap/tripwire for Hamas is bizarre. It’s pretty damn easy to not fire on US warships, and doing so might be the biggest strategic blunder you could make
Regardless it’s also a hotbed of conflict that could easily start spiraling into the rest of the region. A carrier group just offshore can keep an eye on the situation and make sure Iran doesn’t get any crazy ideas
It’s a deterrent for Iran or other countries that might think they can hop in while Israel is weak
It might disrupt US focus a little, but Israel’s military really doesn’t need help on this. Israel is heavily militarized with a very advanced domestic defense industry. And as much as Russia has flopped, they’re still a former superpower while Hamas is DIYing half their equipment
Point me to where Ukrainian soldiers passed the border and shot up a festival full of civilians
Bobby Green first round KO - who would have seen that coming
Because there’s another esteemed character actress named Margo, we have to avoid confusion
There’s a big cultural divide for Illinois, Chicago isn’t very “Midwest” compared to downstate.
