At approx. 8:15 am rumors began to circulate that certain elements within hamas have obtained a grandfather and possibly a windforce. Israel cannot stand for this expansion in military offensive capability and have begun a massive bombardment of frozen orbs and blizzards on the Gaza strip

every person i have seen doing this, is doing it an super racist way to draw some sort of comparison about how the irish resistance fighters had so much more humanity than hamas because, well, you know

irish in belfast: We Support Palestine

BREAKING | Belfast school to be contacted by Department of Education over ‘pro-Palestine’ rally
DUP MP Sammy Wilson branded photographs posted online “abhorrent”
Kurtis Reid
Today at 11:45
The Department of Education has said it will be contacting a Belfast school for “further information” after videos and photographs were shared online of pupils holding a rally in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
Colaiste Feirste, which is the only Irish language speaking secondary school based in Belfast took to the social media website X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday to share images of pupils holding Palestinian flags with caption ‘Tacaionn maid leis an Phalaistin’ which roughly translates to ‘We Support Palestine’.

The photographs were accompanied by a video of an apparent pupil who gave a speech entirely in Irish where the school reiterated its support for those living in Gaza.

In a statement to this newspaper, a spokesperson for the Department of Education said: "This issue has been drawn to the attention of the Department. We will be contacting the school to obtain further information on the matter.”

Yeah Ukraine is completely hosed

It's Biden's war so the GOP will make him eat poo poo on it, there's no way they'll approve funding for both if they know Biden is feeling pressure to divert to Israel, it gives them an opportunity to make him look weak on ukraine while also irritating the far left into staying home over Palestine

Japan was able to begin rebuilding Hiroshima after 2 years.

Would Netanyahu rather obliterate civilians or feed IDF to a meat-grinder?Does Israel have more contempt for Palestine than the US did for Japan? Does the West really support Israel unconditionally?

None of those considerations are reassuring.

I heard this a lot about Iran too and they're still flying their F-14s

The only reason this was ever an actual perk of dealing with the United States was that we had an edge in manufacturing and technology that we simply do not have anymore, building replacement parts and getting fuel just aren't that big of a problem for a modern world power. If Iran can keep two dozen American jets flying for 50 years under the sanction regime they're under, Saudi Arabia will have no problem operating their equipment with or without us

replacement parts are one thing but the bespoke software and electrical components embedded into every system on the plane are another. f14s are from the era before the us had fully adopted the apple/bmw design mentality of making self-service impossible to force customer reliance.
export f35s all have us maintenance and service teams that use equipment the client country isn't allowed to possess or even use themselves

if you don't have them come defrag the plane every 6 months or whatever you're risking being out billions of dollars and your entire airforce
can't really develop parallel systems to use on the planes in secret because what would you develop them on when all of your planes already have nsa onstar

imo the entire us military equipment export model has or is shifting its priority to being impossible to loving get rid of over efficacy or practicality. displace the competition and alternatives and force everyone to be dependant on your supply chains and service teams so you don't need to deploy your own military to the area because you've already got all the leverage
