The speech was basically 'we had nothing to do with this, and that's set to continue, but we thought it was cool and good.' So, good news if you don't want the regional conflict to escalate, bad news if you're hoping pressure from Hezbollah on Israel's northern border might interfere with the siege/invasion of Gaza by requiring the IDF to split its forces.

Hezbollah doesn't have an air force or armoured columns that they can send into Israel, unfortunately! Not do they want the USA using those aircraft carriers parked up in the Med to flatten Beirut. It's a war of attrition with Israel and Hezbollah's strategy is to maintain the pressure and wait for Israel to fall over from the economic damage caused by having like a third of the working age population called up to fight.
There's a reason Israel does fast wars: their society literally isn't capable of handing drawn-out ones.

There's two relatives of mine who fought in WWII - one died and one survived. Absolutely still never wearing one.

Always fun to point out my family fought on the other side in WWI when asked about the poppy and lack thereof (technically didn't fight but acted in non-combat roles, regardless).

With WWII it was a concetration camp on one side and forced labour making fighter planes for the nazis on the other, soo. I guess if you want to be very morbid you could call it unwilling participation in non-combat roles, but I think they'd rather murder the people telling them to do it, if anyone. Not that subject nations fighting for AH in WWI was very voluntary or popular either.

e: fought not thought, funny how that sort of typo happens

They do, however, have a massive arsenal of artillery plus reasonably well-trained guerrilla fighters. They could cause a lot more chaos up north than they are presently choosing to - conventional invasions are hardly their only course of action.

"it is disrespectful to call for a ceasefire on Armistice Day" - that's it, I've lost my last shred of sanity. Just absolutely done. What a murderous pack of twats.
it's particularly piss-boiling, because any article on the march is like

organizers: we think Armistice Day a particularly fitting time to hold a peaceful demonstration calling for a ceasefire. we are taking special care to time it after the Remembrance Sunday ceremonies, and will be avoiding that part of the city entirely
the loving Met: we have no reason to connect any potential disruption to Remembrance Sunday with the demonstration planned for later that day elsewhere in London


the government:


i think they're genuinely disappointed that there hasn't been any 'widespread public disorder, violence, and damage' at the marches and are doing their damndest to will it into being so that they can play hardman and do a new crackdown on Protest In General

also a psa i guess: you likely wouldn't know unless you read the feedback forum because there hasn't been any announcement, but there's been a strong push there for mods to crackdown very hard on 'gore-posting' in general lately, and as two of our thread regulars got multiple-week probes today for posting the aftermath of airstrikes in gaza, it looks like they're putting that into action. so, uh, keep that in mind when posting links.

Instead of putting three bottles in that box, they should just use a big plastic bladder you can squirt directly into your bloated gob, and afterwards you can take it out, blow it up and kick it about a bit.

Hmm, I wonder if the ever in good faith Rachel Riley might be glossing over something here.



E: not that this is definitive proof of anything of course, it could still just be racism on the other team's part.
