Aren’t they already pretty well armed? I thought the settlement idea was little volunteer fortresses manned by volunteer armed psychos who moved there to participate in the race war.

yeah my idea of settlers were that they were all armed. very funny if that's not true

nah they're almost certainly settlers with dual citizenship. usually israel will emphasize the israeli-ness of these folks so it's cool to see them play up the US citizen angle in order to escalate the conflict

The death rate is probably that high because Hamas does not view settlers as civilians but as legitimate military targets.

they're correct, settlers on occupied lands are unprivileged combatants

IIRC the only reason they freed Anakin was because they needed to use him as child labor in an unsafe job. The other slaves on his planet were basically told to get lost.

nobody is saying that it's a thing that didn't/doesn't happen lol. anyway i want to hear about hamas parade discipline!!!!

Well, it's a different tradition and serves a different purpose, right? According to an article by the Ankara Center for Crisis and Policy Studies , What is the Necessity of Military Parades?, there is a distinct Middle Eastern tradition of parading, with ties to religious processions. This seems to be supported by The "bayʿa": Modern Political Uses of Islamic Ritual in the Arab World, a paper in Die Welt des Islams which supports the use of processions and formed groups of men as an important tool for group identity formation within the Middle East. In both instances, there are visual similarities to western military parades, but the messages being conveyed to the audience are more culturally specific and so are their forms.

All of which to say, while the Egyptian, Pakistani and Jordanian Armies on parade are immediately recognizable at 116 beats per minute with a 76 cm step or 120 paces per minute with a 75 cm step, Hamas is drawing from a different tradition. Not just because they're not marching to Army of the Nile, but because they're trying to send a different message.
