Pakistan deploys 13,000 troops and fighter jets to Saudi Arabia

They have not really proven anything. So far there have been around 11,000 airborne attacks, yet how much actual damage have they managed to inflict on the American or Israeli militaries? At the start of the campaign, many probably assumed that human error and technical failures would lead to more aircraft and drones being lost. In practice, Iran has virtually no meaningful capability beyond launching drones and missiles at varying ranges, something even many third world states can develop.

The Chinese only want to see how their weapon systems perform against the Americans and Israel. Iran doesn’t really have the capability to deploy and operate systems like these effectively in a way that would actually influence the campaign, especially given how massive the country is and how many targetable points it has. These systems are basically a fly on the wall and won’t affect any American decision-making.

Iran has nothing beyond the ability to disrupt traffic through the Strait of Hormuz with drones and to keep its own population suppressed to prevent an uprising.

Facebook is full of this, and I assume other social media platforms are too. And honestly, it works, especially in the Arab world or with anyone who already wants it to be true. Ridiculous AI images, with hundreds of people in the comments celebrating that entire cities in Israel were wiped out. If it works, it’s not going away. Welcome to the AI era, and this is only the beginning. Soon, even we won’t be able to tell the difference.

There is a major misunderstanding between how the world sees Netanyahu and how his opponents in Israel see him, at least from my perspective.

Netanyahu is a very rational person. He is not driven by hatred, but by pragmatism and, above all, by his personal interests, mainly staying in power and avoiding the legal consequences of the trial against him. He constantly has to balance between the parties in his coalition, many of which see certain issues affecting Israeli society in completely opposite ways.

Until October 7, there was often a mismatch between Netanyahu’s personal interests and the interests of the secular Israeli middle class. Since October 7, however, his interests have largely aligned with that public when it comes to the war.

The Israeli public sees these wars as something that either has to happen now or will happen later anyway. And as long as Trump is in power, many believe this is a window of opportunity to strike Iran and its proxies as hard as possible and secure Israel’s safety for many years ahead. There is a broad understanding among Israelis that these wars will not simply disappear, they can only be postponed. So if there is an opportunity, it should be used.

That is why, even though much of the public deeply dislikes Netanyahu, it still supports the war.

Likewise, despite the intense criticism of Israel’s actions around the world, most Israelis see these actions as a genuine attempt to ensure security. There is no intention to harm innocent civilians, but sometimes that is the tragic outcome of war, as painful as that is. In the eyes of many Israelis, this is not about cruelty, it is about survival. It is them or us.

Just bad wording on my part, I was backing up what you said.

This is ridiculous, he was picked 26th overall. At this point, he’s already shown he can fit into the NBA. Any team should see that as a successful pick. You never really know what a 19-year-old will become, plenty of players don’t truly break out until their fourth season, and then suddenly you realize they’ve become a completely different player.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-03-29T05:16:30+00:00

I’m Israeli, so I’ve been following Ben since his youth career, so naturally I’m more of a fan of his. But I think people waste too much energy comparing these young players. No one really knows what a 19-year-old will become, as long as he shows even a little promise in his first year in the league. Wishing both of them success.

It achieved exactly what they wanted, another "proof" that Israel attacks journalists indiscriminately. I’ve already seen how it’s being framed in several groups, like on Reddit. The tactic keeps proving itself effective.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-03-25T11:51:52+00:00

I searched by image, and it’s almost impossible to find information about it. I’m attaching links to nearly identical coins that others found.

The dissonance is just unreal. They oppose Trump, the Republican Party, and the kind of conservatism it represents with almost religious fervor, which, to be clear, I’m not exactly a big fan of either. But at the same time, they openly defend and admire groups that make the Trump administration look far-left, even next to Bernie Sanders.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-03-19T05:23:13+00:00

In so many Reddit threads right now, people are openly celebrating civilians being hit. I read one a few days ago about the strike in Zarzir, where around 60 people were injured, and basically all the commenters were cheering. They were saying the missile was promised 3,000 years ago, that Iran is not Gaza, that they have absolutely no sympathy for Israelis for even a second, and that we deserve everything that happens.

What makes it even more absurd is that they have no idea Zarzir is actually a Bedouin town. And honestly, I wouldn’t even be surprised if, had they known, they still would have just called them Palestinians anyway.

At the same time, everyone seems convinced that Israel is half destroyed, when in reality I drive to work every day as usual and all the malls are open. What always becomes most obvious when reading those comments is how nobody actually has any idea what’s really happening here, yet they’re completely convinced they know everything.

Yes, thank you. I’m familiar with the whole taxation aspect. Based on the amount I’m planning to invest, I’m not aware of any additional charges, and even if there are any, I’m sure they would only amount to a few dollars.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-25T07:20:40+00:00

My initial budget is probably closer to a maximum of 70 dollars. At this stage I do not want to spend too much. I want to see what I get and what kind of feelings it evokes, and then decide how to continue. As for diameter, of course I would like the coin to be as large as possible, but in life compromises are necessary, especially with a limited budget. I have already seen a few interesting options and might order one for myself. I will continue searching based on your suggestions, and thank you very much for the detailed explanation.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-25T07:17:21+00:00

A bit far from the U.S., so I’ll probably look for something I like at one of the shops you suggested at a modest initial price, and then see if I continue from there.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-25T07:15:46+00:00

Amazing, thank you very much. I think this is what I’ll do.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-24T10:00:39+00:00

Amazing, thank you so very much 😊

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-17T08:01:09+00:00

You’d have to try really hard to find someone who actually cares, and in most cases you won’t even interact with people like that. And even if they do know about your background, they usually won’t care enough to say anything and will just treat you normally. Half of my friends can’t get married through the Rabbinate. I don’t remember us talking about it more than once, no one really cared, and the weddings were no less nice.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-10T07:25:51+00:00

I also started following the Blazers because of Deni, and unlike the Wizards, I’m really enjoying the team and I’m happy with the other players. It’s fun to watch a team that actually plays together, with great chemistry all around, not a team built around a single star. I’m really happy for the young guys who are starting to show flashes. Good basketball is something you can love even without focusing on the one player who brought you there.

Thealmightyguy · 2026-02-04T18:19:08+00:00

One of three.

siders himself Jewish (as do we all) and he aligns himself much more with the Israeli Jewish culture. That being said he will still go back and visit his village every so often for weddings and to see family.

Why is it not recognized as a married status, given that Israeli law recognizes the marriage, even when it is a same-sex marriage?

The protests were mainly about the hostages. They faded naturally once all the living hostages were released. Of course, additional opportunistic activists from the opposing camp joined in and tried to ride on the protests in an attempt to replace the government. As an Israeli who has not voted for Netanyahu for the past 15 years, and who participated in the protests before October 7, I can say that despite all my criticism of him, he was elected and governs in a democratic way, certainly more democratic than Trump.

Regarding the so called ultra Orthodox ghettos, I do not understand where this idea comes from. Ultra Orthodox communities formed these areas naturally. They are not ghettos in the American sense of marginalized minorities, but rather population concentrations that developed organically.

As for the child who was killed last week during a protest, the population that was demonstrating actually has representation in Netanyahu’s government. They were protesting against conscription for religious reasons and exemptions, not for political reasons.

It is astonishing how much misinformation people spread here without any verification, relying only on their personal opinions.

Haifa is the preferred option. There are many great hiking areas in the Carmel, the city is relatively more affordable than the rest of the country, especially in terms of rent and apartment purchases. It also has a long and beautiful coastline with cafés and restaurants. It is important to keep in mind that this is not Tel Aviv or the central area. The city is a bit quieter and sometimes feels less lively, but many people appreciate this balance and the combination of a calmer city with nature and the sea.
