To clarify the rules, syqs are not illegal in cspam and not currently illegal in this thread. They got banned in the Ukraine thread through a combination of excessive overuse (people who didn't know how to turn it off even when it wasn't insane or funny enough) and stupid forums war bullshit. I expect they will not be banned in this thread as long as they are not overused to the point of excess and do not lead to stupid forums war bullshit.

Nonsense posted:AlJazeera Arabic seems to be showing columns of Israeli self-propelled artillery driving to Gaza, so that story seems dubious Yeah, Israel would have to be pretty foolish to give more than a token percentage of their artillery rounds to Ukraine. On the other hand, hubris has destroyed mightier empires.

It hasn't been mentioned here, but this attack occurred during the holiday of Jewish holiday of Shmini Atzeret / Simchat Torah, which is one of the major holidays on the Jewish calendar. Within the Orthodox community outside of Israel, people only learned about the attacks piecemeal, because we didn't have access to electronic media. In my synagogue we heard fairly early, because we have a hatzala ambulance driver in our congregation who saw it on CNN at the hospital and told our rabbi, who made an announcement with the little he knew. Others found out later in the day, through friends of friends. I'm on the Upper West Side in New York City, with dozens of synagogues, and you could almost see the ripple effect - it's a holiday built around dancing and celebration, and no one knew what to do. There's a part of the service where there's a singing call and response between members of the congregation. In the synagogue my stepson goes to, they have a tradition of dividing those in fun ways - for example, all people who are Cohens, then everyone answers. All the people who have been members of the shul for more than 20 years. All the Mets fans. Lefties. They asked for all the people who have family members in Israel to do the calling. And then - no one sang the response. In a shul filled with easily over 150 people, it turned out there wasn't a single person there who didn't have a family member who lives there. No one knew if they had a family member who was killed, who was wounded, who was kidnapped. Yesterday, when the holiday had ended within Israel but not yet outside its borders, people were asking rabbis if it was okay to ask their non-Jewish neighbors or doormen to call their parents and siblings to see if they were safe. If it matters to anyone here, my stepson and his wife live there. All of my husband's siblings are there (his mother was born in Jerusalem in the 30s). We spent last night on WhatsApp and on the phone. I came here late last night because this is one of the places I get my news after events. I expected to see ongoing links as things had progressed. I did not expect to see a thread that not only had few links, but one that read like a thread you would see after an Israeli attack. 700 Jews were killed in one day - the largest Jewish civilian death toll in one day since the Holocaust. And since it took place, Jewish communities in the West have seen upticks in incidents tied to the conflict. Thank G-d only vandalism, so far. We need to take care not to conflate Israel and Israeli policies with Jews and Judaism. They are completely separate. And by extension of that, I know we're not supposed to conflate Israeli deaths with Jewish deaths. And yet. At a time when violent anti-semitism is on the rise around the world, and when people who hate Jews have no problem conflating them, when are we allowed to talk about it? This was an act of war aimed directly and almost entirely against civilians. There are videos of unarmed Jewish people being rounded up that are being disseminated by the people responsible for the roundups, people who call us Jews interchangeably with Zionists, and it feels like we are required to think that this is entirely geopolitical, nothing to see here. It's become distasteful to see Jews as Jewish victims if they live in Israel. The amount of sympathy for Palestinians in this thread is understandable. And necessary. But the lack of sympathy for Israelis here is palpable. Hamas does not represent all Palestinians. We can't conflate that either. It does no one any favors. I'm bowing out of this thread. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm certainly not saying Israelis are, or will be, the only victims, or the only ones that matter. But I wanted to remind people that people like me are here. I'm praying for peace.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:they could throw a hell of a lot of rockets at tel aviv and they have some ballistic missiles. many more than hamas does. the towns in northern israel would have to bug out or go into their bunkers for how long, i dunno, but for awhile. no, what hezbollah is really good at is assassination. they're slow, cold and careful. if they're really committed to this, i wouldn't expect to hear from them for a few months at least.
