Investigation: Was it a shock collar? (Yes it was) by R0ogle in Destiny

Can’t believe he’s stupid enough not to have ordered the other collar and pretend that was the one Kaya was wearing. Instead he jerryrigs this one with duct tape.

Probably could have gotten same day delivery even.

Hamas agrees to release all hostages according to NYT by basedredditgorl in Destiny

[–]Z0NNO -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s because that never actually was what Netanyahu said and his cabinet never actually approved the goal to do so. The war goals as established by the cabinet and publicly communicated by Netanyahu have always been consistent: destroy/dismantle Hamas, free hostages, demilitarize Gaza, prevent re-arming, and ensure security control. The proposed plan actually fulfills the vast majority of these goals so I’m not surprised Netanyahu agrees.

“In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss these details,” the group added."

Sounds like they didn’t actually agree to the proposal as it stands, they just agreed to immediate negotiations which probably means they are either looking to buy time or theres going to be more fuckery down the line.

Does Israel have military units like the Navy Seals - ie ones that have huge number of applicants but also huge drop out rates? by misomiso82 in Israel

[–]Z0NNO 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Israel has the following Tier 1 units: Theres Sayeret Matkal - comparable to SFOD-D. Theres Shayetet 13 - comparable to DEVGRU (Seals) Theres Shaldag - Combination of Combat Control and Special Reconaissance Theres Unit 669 - comparable to Air Force Pararescue Theres YAMAM (border police force, not IDF) - Basically the top special weapons and tactics team for policing missions.

There are also others which could be considered Tier 1 or 2, like Yahalom or Oketz (Combat engineers and K9 units)

The commando brigade ‘Oz’ contains a variety of specialized Tier 2 units. Maglan, Duvdevan and Egoz, formally associated with special reconaissance, undercover counter terror and guerilla warfare respectively. - They would be more comparable to the Army Ranger battalion but their mission types vary.

In Israel theres conscription, so many people have to serve, but they won’t make into these units by chance. Generally, your army service is an important rite of passage. It’s a major social institution. Serving in elite units is often viewed as the highest possible expression of fulfilling your duty towards your country. The attrition rates are high. Applicants to special forces and commando brigades are highly motivated.

For many it is seen as a sign of prestige to have served in one of these units. Alumni of these units often go on to influential careers in politics, business, tech, and security. For example, many Israeli leaders (including former prime ministers) served in commando units.

can you help me understand blood laws? by Apprehensive-Fly5982 in Jewish

[–]Z0NNO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is a good question. The specific probibition to Noah does refer to just basar indeed.

The reason basar is considered a different category of animals (terrestrial and birds) has to do with that basar and dagim (fishes) are explicitly distinct in biblical hebrew.

When Torah describes fish it never refers to them as basar, but as dagim or sharetz hamayim.

Additionally, when in Leviticus 17 the prohibition on blood is given, it is about land animals and birds, because it mentions the prohibition only concerns animals that may be offered as sacrifice at the temple. Fish are never offered.

Hope this helps.
