The dinky crater does align with an Israeli airstrike as someone explained with diagrams the other day you don't want most of the blast to go downward since it's a waste of energy.

i'd appreciate if someone could show if the video of the massive explosion ever aired in western media after the idf claimed palestinians did it

even an msnbc reporter was questioning the absurdity at the beginning of the idf claims of the disparity between the damage and explosion and what hamas is capable of

Did anyone care about the super old church getting bombed and killing 200 people? I would have thought it would cause as much outrage as the hospital, if not more because Christians in the U.S. love to yap about how much they support their oppressed brethren in the Middle East.

US christians barely give a gently caress about catholicism, and they really dont give a gently caress about the orthodox churches.

I agree with Pener's old thread on the issue: if Hamas is to be condemned for indiscriminate rocket attacks, clearly the solution is to give them guided missiles

This is what Lenin was talking about when he said that without a communist vanguard party the proletariat would only ever get as far as trade union consciousness

It's also inherently self-destructive. If all the union mark on a product means is "that particular trade got more pay and their mistakes overlooked" then all it says to the person you're asking to respect your strike or buy union-made is that they're getting a product both shoddy and inferior--even if they themselves are union, you with that position have already declared yourself uninterested in broader politics and thus in having solidarity with them, and they themselves might agree with you and find no time or leeway to get political for you. And if handing work to scabs isn't going to impact the P/L...

Which brings things back to the decline of unions in the US, which dovetailed almost completely with purging the reds in favor of at first sometimes brutally effective if odious mobsters, and then later worms like the junior senator from California who were just angling for lateral career changes to HR once the mobsters had left enough grease on the public image.

Likewise, among Americans on the political left, those holding strong antisemitic attitudes were about twice as likely to support the use of force to restore the federal right to abortion, protect minority voting rights and prevent police brutality against minorities.

If you were the IDF and wanted to blow up a hospital carpark full of innocent people (aka a bunch of terrorists operating a rocket battery), you would use a cluster munition, especially if you wanted it to be deniable. Solid GP bombs are for buildings, light vehicles, or when you don't have anything better.

What I'm getting from all this "mysterious explosion" at the hospital issue is that Israel should stop spending however tens (or hundreds) of thousands dollars per JDAM bomb and just load their planes with Hamas rocket fragments, they seem much more effective.

Cluster munitions have dud rates that would leave evidence more readily. Air bursting your personal favorite flavor of high explosive ordinance works just fine for killing civilians on the grounds of a hospital.

I really don’t understand why Israel would even go in on foot at all. You’ve already got the green light to snuff out an entire people with disease, thirst, starvation, and exposure, let alone artillery and bombings. Why bother putting infantry and tanks at risk? They’re really just that impatient to kill all Palestinians I guess.

it's because if they go in they're gonna get loving wiped. they know it, and everyone that matters does too. by not going in, they're proving to everyone that the raid on the 7th was just a preview of what's coming. if they do go in, they're gonna prove to everyone that what happened on the 7th is just a preview.

is it possible they are bombing at such a rate and intensity that they are running out of bombs?

people were saying the amount of bombs they've dropped is more bombs than dropped in other high intensity conflicts that took place over a year

Between the embarrassment of getting totally owned by Hamas two weeks ago, all the smartest commanders taken hostage or killed, and Likud being led by an old racist fart with failsons of his own, you end up with this panicked rage that israel is exhibiting.

They didnt just get tactically owned, but psychologically too. They spent decades autofellating by virtue of their natural superiority, only to get merked by paragliders with vastly inferior connections to big military money/goods. This is all just violent impotent rage.
