people are going to say it was an errant pij rocket that turned 180 degrees in the air then traveled directly to the hospital. considering testing this hypothesis in my group chat.

also for reference it took israel six days to beat four arab countries, ten days to turn the 1973 war around in their favor, a week for them to each beirut in 1982 and four days for them to try and invade lebanon in 2006.

we are now two weeks into this, and israel cant step foot into gaza and have evacuated dozens of their cities and settlements.

israel is loving done. theyre loving cooked. their regime is gonna die a well deserved death. the jig is up for them.

People in Egypt’s Tahrir square in Cairo chanting for Nasrallah to strike Tel Aviv. That’s huge considering the suffocating political repression there and the politics of the last decade post-Arab Spring.

I personally appreciate having more evidence to bolster the case but the IDF muddied the water enough that it no longer matters. US media will continue running with the lie that it wasn't Israel.

RedQueen posted:

region chaos aside why is everyone so sure going into Gaza would be a unpalatable meat grinder for Israel when last time they killed thousands of Palestinians and only lost like 70 soldiers and 90% of the israeli population was still bloodthirsty and opposed any ceasefire

Also nearly every headquarters and unit responsible for Gaza got rolled up on Zero Hour, and except for the Paratroops, all of the Commando and Tier One teams Israel traditionally uses to backstop the reservists seem to have suffered severe losses in the first few hours of confused counterattacks.

Israel had a tactical system for dealing with Gaza, using technology and small numbers of high quality troops to do the heavy lifting while the air force and artillery provided the firepower, and the reservists just held ground and called for support.

I don’t know where that leaves them, but we can focus on one narrow area. The artillery is famously the least favoured arm of the IDF and gets the lowest quality conscripts and officers from each annual draft. It’s performed poorly historically, when not just blanketing civilian areas.

Now, the artillery in Southern Command lost the commander of their STA unit, not a good start. Nationally, up to 80% of their 300k shell war stores (nominally owned by the US) was given to Ukraine. They dipped into it last time when they went into Gaza and fired an estimated 35k shells. If that’s the case, they barely have enough shells to meet the demand of operations at 2014 levels, let alone clear the whole place block by block.

Their M109s are fine but they’ve severely reduced the size of their gun park since the 90’s. Culturally, they’ve had a bit of an identity crisis in the artillery arm, with several major resignations and reassignments in recent years. Their approach, which a formal inquest found failed in 2006, costing Israeli lives, and which led to resignations in recent years when promised reforms did not materialize, (as recently as this summer the CO of their Artillery School), was an overreliance on … STA (remember the relevent person assigned to Gaza is KIA).

One of the biggest tech conferences in Europe has been blacklisted by top companies over its founder making the mildest criticism of Israel.

He said "warcrimes are still warcrimes when done by our allies". Even after retracting that and providing a groveling apology to Israel wasn't enough.
https://x.com/IrishTimesBiz/status/1715050198848942148?s=20

Thing is Paddy Cosgrave is an attention-seeking dipshit, who has said plenty of things in the past that got him a lot of well-deserved criticism, but the one time he actually voices a good opinion, he gets destroyed.

Israel cannot tolerate any criticism; surely the mark of a tolerant, modern, democratic state.

1) Buy a old sodastream on craigslist for like $10 or whatever. Make sure they include a couple bottles. Throw away or recycle the soda steam canisters.

2)

3) Go to a welding supply outlet and buy a food-grade CO2 tank. 5,10, or 20lb are typical. I went with 20. Make sure they toss in a plastic washer for like 30 cents.

4) Borrow/buy/steal a 1-1/4" wrench to install.

5) Enjoy



20lbs of CO2 = ~1000 liters of seltzer. About $40 per refill
