Israel successfully Infiltrating and placing the rabid fascist dogs in charge of those countries in power is a real masterstroke from their end sadly. It's really easy to control governments where only one retard is in charge and only one vote from an insane animal is needed.

This is why Israel can only rely on dictatorships be they royal or military, places where muslims have dmocracy like malaysia and indonesia are super duper anti-israel because their citizens have a say.

The ultimate cancer of the arab world who need to be taken out of the picture are the goat loving dogs who rule the UAE, that poo poo eating flea picker mohammad bin zayed and his inbred cousins are the most active destroyers of any attempt of national liberation for arabs and they will pay a huge price once arabs are free from the dictatorships grasp.

They've only admitted five dead from that special forces unit that was left unreinforced for 12 hours and wiped out, so I'd say this is likely.

I wonder where the breakdown is happening in Israeli reconnaissance. Did they get fleeced by some tech bro that said they could replace recon flights and patrols with ring cameras? I have heard there was a breakdown between Shin Bet and Mossad over the Abraham accords and normalizing relations with other countries plus discord over the judicial reforms.

I also would have thought the US military would have put a lot more eyes on the area by now.

well initially the word is that the Israeli intelligence did pick up on the training routines and assembling of fighters that was the main force to go over / through / under / around the walls, but they thought it was a bluff that was intended to be picked up on cameras and spook Israel into concessions so they didn't tell anyone or do anything about it lol

They've claimed to have a complete security perimeter around Gaza since the evening of day 2 so I don't know how Hamas is still getting people out if that's the case

quote:

But how did Facebook get to be the internet?

In the early years, there’s a stripped-down version of the app kicking around that used less data than competitors’. But also, when Myanmar’s government opens up to two foreign telecom services, the stronger of the two, Norway’s Telenor, “zero-rates” Facebook.9 Essentially, zero-rating is a selective subsidy; it means that customers won’t be charged for the data they use for some parts of the internet, but would be charged for others. For all of Telenor’s customers, using Facebook is free.


I remember when I was told that zero-rating as a consequence of losing net neutrality protections was really no big deal in our very own bad forum and now here it is directly implicated in genocide, so that's cool.

if there's one thing that should be obvious the past several years is the idea of US (and IS) being a Superman Wunderwaffen Empire Driven by High-Tech with sci-fi rear end omnipresent uber-surveillance (*24 voice* enhance!) was all a force projection mirage.

e: it also was obvious during Iraq and Afghanistan. it took US like 10 months to capture a tiny city like Fallujah and the only way it "took" it was by completely annihlating around 80% of the city into pure rubble.

i was wary of this narrative because people also blamed Facebook for the genocide in Ethiopia which is weird because only like 25 percent of Ethiopians have internet access at all and most people just use ethnic forums or mereja to post about politics, Facebook is for rich people lol. It seems to make sense in Myanmar however.

oh yeah for sure. the power is the illusion.

if anything I would say that's Hamas's greatest tactical objective they achieved was destroying that illusion by showing it can bleed, once the dam breaks it's hard to put hologram humpty dumpty back together.

Go back and read them, they seem to be on point. US shell production is barely enough for its own needs, much less Ukraine. The US can start emptying out its stores of other weapons (JDAMs etc), but at the end of the day, real wars take HE 152/155mm shells.
