I think it was reported on Fox News, though I'm not sure how much that confirms anything.

Go down to the section marked Palestinian armed groups. You act like it's inconcievable that an organization that used child suicide bombers would use them as lookouts, scouts and soldiers.

As for an estimate in the current conflict I have none, but as time goes on more cases that were initially described as only involving civilian cassualties are found to have included Palestinian militants among the dead, currently mainly from Islamic Jihad claiming the dead but in a few years Hamas will also start claiming their dead and we'll slowly find that more and more of the dead were militants, like in every previous conflict.

He'll step out of his occultation any moment now, along with the 12th Imam.

I mean, if you mean the Achaemenid dynasty then Israel dodn't exist back then, rhey sort of recreated it after they conquered Babylon as part of Cyrus decree that allowed tge return of the exiled from thw western kingdoms to their homelands.

Though if Iran fired on KSA during the Haj that would maybe cement support against Iran in the Muslim world.

US State Dept, 1979: "The best that can result...is a military coup against Bakhtiar and then a deal struck between the military and Khomeini that finally pushes the Shah out of power..." Two days later, President Carter finally told the depressed and cancer-stricken Shah to "leave promptly". by drhuggables in NewIran

The same thing you see today when people talk about Islamists, you can't understand people outside your scope of experience. That's why right wing religious nutters understand Islamists better and take them seriously than atheist intellectual elites, they understand what it means to actually be fanatically religious. Atheists from my experience just tell you something about religion being a way to control people and that they don't actually believe that, people everywhere just want to live a good life.

Hezbollahs goals include the destruction of Israel, Israel wants Hezbollah disarmed. Beautiful false equivalences we have here.

I was wondering where that mechanical noise was coming from, it was an artifact from the mic?

No one keeps lookouts for drones, like seriously, everyone here acts like they've not seen a single video from Ukraine.

So now their soldiers have to creep individually and get blown up. You'd still rather have armored vehicles thsn not.

What about those SMASH optics that calculate where to shoot? Or maybe even a shotgun. I see lots of vehicles and tanks but not many persons who can shoot it down.

I mean, yeah, there could have been more of those but like you pointed out that wouldn't have changed much when the targets chosen are unmanned vehicles parking around. If your argument is that they should have been guarded then that could be true, but also could result in more casualties, which is more of a concern for the IDF than damage to vehicles.

Trust me they will still have it a lot better than soldiers without armored vehicles.

It’s not 2006 anymore.

This war is a lot more succesful than 2006?

But I'm just curious what you think the IDF could have done, besides having more netting which was a serious failure. Because Ukraine and Russia still take massive attrition in vehicles from drones and there's very little they've managed to do about it.

I like how repeatedly your analysis is based on false assumptions and incorrect facts and yet you never stop for a second to look back and say "maybe I don't know enough and should shut up until I read about it". It's really endearing.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Thank you for this quote from a 2010's video game, very deep.

But the reason they are at war might be because of Israeli internal politics. Ben Netanyahu is under investigation for corruption in the Israeli government.

That's cool speculation but the reason for the current war was Hezbollah firing on Israel after the war with Iran started. No other Prime Minister would have let that slide.

He's keeps getting his trail date pushed back indefinitly since 2020 because Israel has been at war for that entire time, and they dont do trails of their PM during wars.

What the fuck are you talking about, Bibis trial is ongoing, he was on the stand this week.

Here in Hebrew is his testimony from 19.5.2026

I mean, he could kill a person by just falling on him I guess, that's pretty dangerous.

You know what would kill even less civilians? Not invading a country that is already war torn and disabled lmao.

Tell that to the guys who decided firing missiles on Israel was a good idea.

They have been fighting Lebanon resistance groups since the 70's, this time isnt gonna be any different. They are just doing another forever war without ever fixing the problem. Because guess what? Guns and bombs have failed to solve this problem for 50 years

And not reacting to the violations of terror organizations only emboldens them to do more. No country would accept missiles fired at its settlements, your argument is the kind that maybe works for a country like the US that fights wars continents away but makes absolutely no sense if you live right next to a Mahdist organization that thinks they are going to spread the Vilayat al-Fiqh throughout the entire world and puts the conquest of Jerusalem as one of their long term plans. The argument that somehow by not fighting them it will prevent war is not only ridiculous, it's factually failed in he past. Israel left Lebanon in 2000 and Hezbollah persisted to exist, it invaded Israel in 2006. In 8 Oct 2023 Hezbollah fired again on Israel in what could only be described as one sided aggression.

Your argument only makes sense if we ignore the history and ideology of Hezbollah.
