Some of the War Stores the US nominally "owns" but that are located in Israel to simplify a 1973 style emergency resupply, were diverted to Ukraine, including 155mm ammo.

hey goons, if you want to support Palestinian children who are victims of Israeli apartheid, you can donate here to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, which sends medical personnel/supplies to Palestine, builds hospitals and clinics, and also evacuates Palestinian kids to the West so they can get medical treatments not available in Gaza/the West Bank. It has a good charity rating and was endorsed by jimmy carter so the money goes where it's supposed to go

Which targets Hamas can attack: Military Chronicle's breakdown

There are several key targets in the immediate vicinity of the occupied territories. Some of them have already been captured, others evacuated.

Which facilities are we talking about?

The first site that Hamas forces managed to seize was the Hatzerim airbase. It was from there that the Israelis hurriedly removed the F-16 fighter jets.

Just 15 kilometers away from it, as the Palestinian infantry moves eastward, is the city of Be'er Sheva, behind which is the Nevatim airbase. Lockheed Martin F-35I ("Adir") fighters have been stationed there since last November.

Directly in the path of Hamas's western flank, 75 kilometers from Gaza, is the Ramon airbase. Israeli F-16I Sufa fighters were based there.

Between Ashkelon and Tel Aviv is the Palmahim airbase. It was the site of one of the first Qassam missile strikes. The 161st UAV squadron of the Israeli Air Force and several dozen Elbit Hermes 450 attack drones are stationed there.

Almost there, between Gedera and Rehovot, is the Tel Nof airbase. The 133rd and 106th squadrons of the Israeli Air Force with F-15 fighters are based there.

15 kilometers west of Jerusalem is the Sdot Micha military base. One of the most classified facilities in the country is located there: a rocket unit with Jericho-3 ballistic missiles.

If the operation of these facilities is paralyzed and expensive equipment is destroyed, Israel could significantly reduce airstrikes, which are currently the only effective means of responding to Hamas.

CONCERNING VIOLENCE
National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon. At whatever level we study it--relationships between individuals, new names for sports clubs, the human admixture at cocktail parties, in the police, on the directing boards of national or private banks--decolonization is quite simply the replacing of a certain "species" of men by another "species" of men. Without any period of transition, there is a total, complete, and absolute substitution. It is true that we could equally well stress the rise of a new nation, the setting up of a new state, its diplomatic relations, and its economic and political trends. But we have precisely chosen to speak of that kind of tabula rasa which characterizes at the outset all decolonization. Its unusual importance is that it constitutes, from the very first day, the minimum demands of the colonized. To tell the truth, the proof of success lies in a whole social structure being changed from the bottom up. The extraordinary importance of this change is that it is willed, called for, demanded. The need for this change exists in its crude state, impetuous and compelling, in the consciousness and in the lives of the men and women who are colonized. But the possibility of this change is equally experienced in the form of a terrifying future in the consciousness of another "species" of men and women: the colonizers.

Decolonization, which sets out to change the order of the world, is, obviously, a program of complete disorder. But it cannot come as a result of magical practices, nor of a natural shock, nor of a friendly understanding. Decolonization, as we know, is a historical process: that is to say that it cannot be understood, it cannot become intelligible nor clear to itself except in the exact measure that we can discern the movements which give it historical form and content. Decolonization is the meeting of two forces, opposed to each other by their very nature, which in fact owe their originality to that sort of substantification which results from and is nourished by the situation in the colonies. Their first encounter was marked by violence and their existence together--that is to say the exploitation of the native by the settler--was carried on by dint of a great array of bayonets and cannons. The settler and the native are old acquaintances. In fact, the settler is right when he speaks of knowing "them" well. For it is the settler who has brought the native into existence and who perpetuates his existence. The settler owes the fact of his very existence, that is to say, his property, to the colonial system.

Decolonization never takes place unnoticed, for it influences individuals and modifies them fundamentally. It transforms spectators crushed with their inessentiality into privileged actors, with the grandiose glare of history's floodlights upon them. It brings a natural rhythm into existence, introduced by new men, and with it a new language and a new humanity. Decolonization is the veritable creation of new men. But this creation owes nothing of its legitimacy to any supernatural power; the "thing" which has been colonized becomes man during the same process by which it frees itself.

In decolonization, there is therefore the need of a complete calling in question of the colonial situation. If we wish to describe it precisely, we might find it in the wellknown words: "The last shall be first and the first last." Decolonization is the putting into practice of this sentence. That is why, if we try to describe it, all decolonization is successful.

The naked truth of decolonization evokes for us the searing bullets and bloodstained knives which emanate from it. For if the last shall be first, this will only come to pass after a murderous and decisive struggle between the two protagonists. That affirmed intention to place the last at the head of things, and to make them climb at a pace (too quickly, some say) the well-known steps which characterize an organized society, can only triumph if we use all means to turn the scale, including, of course, that of violence.

You do not turn any society, however primitive it may be, upside down with such a program if you have not decided from the very beginning, that is to say from the actual formulation of that program, to overcome all the obstacles that you will come across in so doing. The native who decides to put the program into practice, and to become its moving force, is ready for violence at all times. From birth it is clear to him that this narrow world, strewn with prohibitions, can only be called in question by absolute violence.

I have a sneaking suspicion the IDF is gunna get loving rinsed if they counterattack. I don't think it's quite so clear that this is a futile expression of rage. Like, maybe these guys know what they're doing and have a plan to win? That this armed and well organized military organization isn't just acting on emotion?
