shameful of the IDF to place its military intelligence installations in the middle of populated cities

what kind of monstrous regime uses civilian human shields like this

one of the IDF's main bases literally shares a loving wall with a shopping mall
"civilians as shields" has pretty much always been projection. Also I'm not sure how much aiming capability a rocket made of piss and sugar has.
The rockets have pretty much always been a "well we can't do nothing" response and really only ever killed anything prior to Iron Dome when they bonked you on the head.

wtf is going on with this building


The whole logic of settlers since at least the Ulster plantation is to create a population of people that will become a target of native resistance, and staunch allies of the occupying forces. When Israel got those Russian Jews in the 80s and 90s they sent them to live next to Gaza, which turned them from mostly economic migrants into bloodthirsty nationalists.

im still skeptical that iron dome has ever successfully shot down anything. seems just like a way to inflate the threat from the gaza rockets by going ya sure there are never any actual casualties from these attacks but imagine how bad it would be if we didnt have this gigantic bloated military tax dollar giveaway protecting our brave settlers

the restraint is unbelievable. in the 90s you had suicide bombers walking onto crowded city busses but now that BDS is the main decided upon tactic within palestine and without you barely see even the token "we are still here" bottle rocket launches from gaza in response to atrocious violence from the israeli side.

hamas has some impressive discipline over militants in the strip - it helps i guess that israel has shown itself to be terrified of BDS and peaceful resistance and that they would much prefer the palestinians to just lash out violently so they can act like the good guys defending themselves

even when there was open warfare in gaza with IDF tanks rolling through shujaiyya (before they withdrew and just flattened the neighborhood) Hamas limited themselves to targeting the invading IDF troops and when they launched a raid to try to capture an IDF soldier for a prisoner swap, the commandos emerging from the tunnel had every opportunity to harm civilians in southern israel but stuck to the mission and successfully kidnapped a soldier back into gaza.

Israel then killed their own soldier by carpet bombing the area he was believed to be held in so as to avoid another lopsided prisoner swap

remember the Turkish convoy and everything Israel did to scramble a defense to foreign aid?

the first sentence is correct and is more reason for why the Palestinian resistance should be supported

oh hey it's newlines

Zedhe Khoja posted:

When the Newlines report got posted in the bad forums MENA thread (moron who posted it kept demanding people open themselves up to bans by criticizing the garbage) I took a look through it. Most people probably saw Zenz's name all over it's citations and dismissed it on those grounds alone. Not unreasonable but it made them fail to investigate further and find out more about it's publisher.

Newlines Institute is a thinktank founded and headed by Ahmed Alwani, and makes a point of telling people it receives no government funding. From any governments. Fully Independent! It receives most of it's funding in the form of academic grants from Fairfax University of America. This should not be confused with any of the prestigious universities located in Fairfax. FXUA is a private college of some 150 largely foreign students, that recently got in trouble for having some diploma mill tendencies. The schools founder and president is... Ahmed Alwani. , and while I can't find much on his prior career, his linkedin claims he has direct experience in venture capital investing and is interested in growth industries in the Middle East. He's the son of a fairly major Muslim figure in America but that seems largely incidental besides inheriting positions in the orgs his dad ran. Also he was on the advisory board of loving Africom. Small detail. No Biggie.

So the "NO GOVERNMENT INTERESTS HERE TOTALLY INDEPENDENT" schtick is pretty suspect.

luv to have solidarity with muslim populations oppressed by America and it's allies while working for my totallly not natsec think tank
