It's a long weekend, but with the exception of my cousin who was assigned to MFO and had to deal with Israelis, and people who have worked in UNTSO Lebanon, where Israel deliberately targeted the observers in 2006, it's going to be the same as in the rest of the Anglosphere. IWI takes everyone out to the ranges to shoot Tavors at a glossy event every year even though they have no intention of selling them to Canada and we have no intention to buy them.

It's going to be terrorists this, terrorists that, Israel will inevitably be victorious etc etc. I wasn't around for the Lebanon War, but if you go back and read anything on it, everyone assumed it was going to be a slam dunk.

I always thought the more senses you used when learning something, the faster you'd pick it up.

Ie just reading is one sense, but reading out loud is two. Writing it back down is three, etc

why would they ever nuke land they want to live on

You need to understand that Gaza was already approaching uninhabitability, and that was quite on purpose. The only thing holding back the nukes for now is the fear of contaminating land the government wants to control, and if they get more and more desperate, that might crumble.

It's absolutely a nightmare scenario and it might happen.

Bad news for about 15 tourists from Texas - A group of about 15 tourists from Texas were sheltering in place in their accommodations in Israel, awaiting word that they can pass out of the country safely

Tour group from Texas sheltering in place in Jerusalem
Marissa Parra and Dennis Romero
1h ago / 8:35 AM +08

A group of about 15 tourists from Texas were sheltering in place in their accommodations in Israel, awaiting word that they can pass out of the country safely, their travel adviser said.

The group was part of a tour organized by a Florida-based concern, Mejdi Tours, that specializes in exposing Americans to different sides of life in a region long animated by religious and political divisions.

Its co-founders, Aziz Abu Sarah and Scott Cooper, who have Palestinian and Jewish backgrounds, respectively, create tours of Israel and occupied territories that include one Jewish or Israeli and one Palestinian guide who have knowledge about the momentous history of their people in the region.

Sarah said the Texas group hoped to leave by ground through Jordan tomorrow.

"Our tour guides have decided to stay with them," he said. "They are obviously heartbroken. The overall mood in the country is depression, is loss, is hopelessness."

Mejdi had about 50 American tour customers in Israel as the Hamas attack began yesterday, he said; a majority have been able to get out through Jordan.

He hopes that as the hostilities between Hamas militants and Israeli forces continue, reason can prevail.

Sarah said: "There's this wall of ignorance, this wall of fear and this wall of hatred that is dividing us. What we want it to do is just put cracks in this world. We're banging our heads against this wall and say there is another way."

sounds like they're really getting their money's worth then

Considering they have, from what I understand, free and unlimited M16s and M4s, plus Galils, I don't really "get" the Tavor, or the newer, even smaller one. Who are these for?

If they want to go back to Uzis and GPMGs again, which I think was solid in 1967 and I'll give them credit for, they should just do that.

teaching anything to little shits is always going to get depressing no matter the topic or subject.

unless you can connect how this knowledge will help them to make sense of the world and survive in it, you're always going to have a hard time.

"who cares?"

"you should, because these are the conditions that can cause it to happen to you. and if you don't, i'm going yell at you little shits and/or you're going to be socially ostracized."

alternatively, "cause if you don't learn it. i'm failing all you assholes." they'll hopefully figure out why it was important later.

:(

Actually popped over to facebook and my middle school social studies group is all about teaching how Israel is the big victims here.


And I don't even know who I can talk to in real life about this, I feel really, really isolated in my support for Palestine irl.

didn’t they consider replacing service rifles with uzis since studies showed that riflemen inflict negligible casualties and were better used to provide cover for the machine gunner to get into place but it hurt morale to do so bc everyone felt useless since they were being told they weren’t expected to shoot and hit back

Yeah that's what I mean, it worked but then people felt sad.

But now they're back to a tiny rifle that looks like it costs more than an Uzi by leaps and bounds.

Same. Thankfully most people in my life are ignoring it so far. Ukraine has done a lot I think to turn people off of getting too invested in international quagmires. Thankful for all the rational (and irrational) voices on here too.

Most analysts cited in the sources on Wikipedia believe that Israel has a full nuclear triad: aircraft-delivered bombs, submarine-launch cruise missiles, and the Jericho family of ballistic missiles that have up to a 4,000 mile range.
