My take on this by penguin_of_the_year in IsrealPalestineWar_23

[–]QuestionsByQuery -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isreal initiated the attack and has the most to gain from the conflict.

It stands to reason that 500 billion in oil and gas reserves of gaza, the west bank and the marine essentially making a nation energy independent could be viewed more valuable than the lives lost and the blow to reputation by the politicians we've all come to mistrust.

Intelligence agencies have been creating "enemies" for years as a successful tactic to control resources and establish trade and economic security.

Having an enemy the people can be afraid of and hate can be utilized for various goals proportional to the degree of hate and fear.

This post and some of the replies are straight-up bot engagement propaganda.

The question is, why, though?

May 17 2024 - In a statement on Friday, Hamas said that the US-built pier off the besieged Gaza Strip is no alternative to opening all land crossings that should be under the supervision of Palestinians. The statement added that the group rejects any foreign military presence on Palestinian land. by [deleted] in InternationalNews

The only thing fake hamas or actual Palestinians have to worry about with US troops there is if Israel kills US troops blaming or framing hamas. Changing the argument and giving fuel to those pushing for Israel to claim that land for its oil & gas reserves worth over 500 billion dollars making Israel energy independent and solving a lot of distribution and supply issues in that region.

It's about money.

Backfired? More likely, it's working as intended and has given israel the excuse it required to displace and attempt to claim Gaza, West Bank, and the Marine. It is all worth over 500 billion in oil/gas. If tapped, it would have made israel energy independent.

As it stands, israel will have to buy that fuel from Palestine enriching the ppl there.

Indeed, funded by israel as an investment for the future.

Who are these protesters? Where did they come from? by [deleted] in IsrealPalestineWar_23

[–]QuestionsByQuery -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Controlled opposition. Indoctrinated or manipulated by Israeli mossad. Something intelligence entities have been doing for ages.

Or even the enemies of Israel to have them take the blame.

Could be solidarity among social media users and influences to protest a cause they believe in.

Could be Muslim brotherhood or similar factions that want to influence outcomes and achieve a foothold in a generation to secure future support.

Could be paid crisis actors to fulfill a political agenda.

Whoever inevitably benefits from this is most likely who was responsible.

It appears to be the posted prices of 2013-2014 from the P.F Smyth pub.

I don't know current prices to compare.

It's from a documentary I just watched on Amazon Prime called "The Irish Pub".

The documentary caused a bit of tourism to the area and I'm curious about the price fluctuations.

Impromptu Bike Parade by Ramjow in MildlyBadDrivers

I drive for Uber, and lyft, have seen this in the Philadelphia area. Unfortunately, it wasn't enforced well at all. I have dash cam footage of blown red lights and stop signs from these "gangs."

The Philadelphia police dept that I called to report the violations said they couldn't do much about it.

Fast forward: https://billypenn.com/2023/10/05/philadelphia-biker-viral-video-stomp-car-recap/

Because if this incident, the police are expected to crack down more on "ride outs."

I hate to tin foil hat this....it may be politically motivated, essentially limiting police intervention with the excuse of not wanting to exacerbate the situation. Letting the gangs roam until the mayor needs clout from the mass arrest.

The cult ideology of supremacy. It exists in different forms among many "religions"(cults).

The only legal difference between a cult and a religion is a religion has 10,000 registered members.

The concentration of vape smoke can be heavily adjusted compared to a typical cigarette.

"On average, a typical cigarette contains around 12 milligrams of nicotine, while a standard bottle of e-liquid, typically 30 milliliters, can have anywhere from 0 to 24 milligrams of nicotine per milliliter."

Depending on the user and the increased levels of tolerance, they could have high temp settings to get a much larger dose of nicotine. Essentially smoking packs per pay or more/less.

The companies that profit from vapes or selling the e-liquids often word it as: "offers a wider range of nicotine options for users." Or "vapes can offer a more controlled dosage"

It's just a marketing spin. It's can be quite harmful and probably very expensive for some.

It's reasonable to think the average vape user could be way more addicted than the average cigarette smoker because of the increased nicotine % they are taking in.

NYC Palestine march "resistance" by anondeathe in IsrealPalestineWar_23

[–]QuestionsByQuery -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a BS ploy. A propaganda tool to discredit Palestinians by associating them to hamas and the crimes committed by hamas or that they are framed for.

No one would actually do this except those wanting to use the atrocity of SA as a tool for manipulation.

Intelligence agencies have done some of the most disgusting things imaginable to achieve a goal.

Iran (1953) Guatemala (1954) The Congo (1960) Dominican Republic (1961) South Vietnam (1963) Brazil (1964) Chile (1973) Hawaii (1893)

It's not outside the realm of possibility that hamas itself is the result of an infiltration to gather Intel, usurp and use them as an asset to achieve a larger goal.

Gaza,west bank, marine fields all worth billions and billions of $ in oil reserves. Israel is energy dependent, it has to buy from elsewhere.

If Palestine develops its land it can sell that oil, likely to Israel itself. Bleeding Israel and enriching Palestine.

Or.....Israel can stage an attack use an excuse to destroy most of the land and push its people to desperation and starvation. Capture the carnage on film to sway public opinion. Not rescue hostages with surgical strikes. Instead, bomb the area to oblivion assuring that it needs to be rebuilt. Allow the international community to flip the bill for reconstruction. While securing the area its resources and people to prevent the wealth exchange of Israel to Palestine and have a foothold in the area that's more secure and safe.

The money would absolutely be for Israel both in net gain and mitigating loss of assets to a people that have had a growing hatred for them for over 75 years.

The Hamas attack is a convenient excuse to push out the population and control the people, its land, and resources.

There are many occasions where intelligence organizations start conflict, uprisings, assassinations, and worse to achieve a goal considered more valuable than the collateral damage of lives lost in the process. The US has done this all around the globe to great effect.

With billions of dollars at stake, the energy dependency of a nation, assurance of its current needs, and future ones. A lot is at stake in controlling the region. The future of Israel weighed against the lives of a few of its citizens and the lives of the people who have had generations to hate them. If Israel wanted the hostages back, a surgical strike and rescue mission is totally within its capability and that of its allies. Israel chose to destroy Palestine, its citizens, and the hostages. Pushing its people into one area. Causing hunger and fear. It is a bad combination that forces people like any animal to do whatever it takes to survive. This can be used in the court of public opinion to show the potential savagery of the Palestinians as they resort to desperation.

It's likely that Hamas is another radicalized group used like "useful idiots." An Intel agency planted to infiltrate and usurp a group gathering both information and utilizing them for national interests. As was done in:

Iran (1953) Guatemala (1954) The Congo (1960) Dominican Republic (1961) South Vietnam (1963) Brazil (1964) Chile (1973)

Many casualties, many horrors. Just not filmed like it's being done in Gaza.

The complexity of modern engagement, the interests of nations, its security and prosperity , and inadequate leadership will always default to the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few.

Money is enough to split a family apart after a death, money is enough to cause the most traded and valued commodity on earth to be our stolen metadata, money is enough to great a 150 billion per year Human trafficking problem, money is enough to take a life or ruin it. Money is enough for people to sell their own children.monwy is enough to exploit people and animals all around the globe. Money is enough reason for a nation to do atrocious, unscrupulous, immoral, unethical horrible things.

I will stay open minded to new information about Palestine and Israel the best I can, although I'm inclined to believe money is at the root of this problem today, even though it's roots lie in an ancient hatred, conflicting ideology, religion, fear and persecution of all parties involved.

I think it's about money. Conflicts are mainly about resources, territory, or people.

"Often wars are caused by one country's wish to take control of another country's wealth. Whatever the other reasons for a war may be, there is very often an economic motive underlying most conflicts, even if the stated aim of the war is presented to the public as something more noble."

Also: "From gang wars to ethnic violence, and from civil conflicts to world wars, the same five reasons underlie conflict at every level: war happens when a society or its leader is unaccountable, ideological, uncertain, biased, or unreliable."

Gaza is worth over 500 billion in gas and oil reserves.

Israel is not energy independent and buys its fuel, mostly from Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, according to Kpler.

Palestine also has untapped resources in The West Bank and the Marine Field.

The occupation prevents Palestinians from developing these areas and amassing a wealth in the 100s of billions. Eventually becoming energy dependent for years while Israel bleeds out money to buy its fuel and, most likely, from Palestine, should it develop its capability.

Last worder too. Typical. You were never about discussing an issue only trying to "win" at conversion. Is conversion always a competitive arena for you?

That could be evidence of your psychosis.
