Fuckers.

Edit: on a more uplifting note:


quote:

After tickets sold out in a matter of seconds this morning, the highly anticipated Gig For Gaza – originally scheduled to take place at Vicar Street –  has been moved to the 3Arena, Dublin. The show, featuring some of the leading names in Irish folk and trad-informed music, will still take place on the same date, November 28.

All original tickets for the gig remain valid, with additional tickets set to go on general sale on Tuesday, November 7, at 10am. The Three+ pre-sale, meanwhile, will kick off on Monday, November 6, at 9am. See Ticketmaster for more information.

All proceeds are going to Medical Aid For Palestians.

The original venue has a capacity of 1500, and the tickets sold out in 90 seconds so it was moved to one that fits 13,000

Palestinian Islamic Jihad are now saying that the israelis are retreating from the northern flank of gaza due to the resistance theyre meeting. hard to confirm but if true its in line with the disastrously slow progress of the israelis in the north and that they have not manages to connect with the middle front from either pincer.

the twitter post has video that has NWS stuff in it so youre gonna have to find it in the aljazeera arabic twitter feed.

the post itself says:-

Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Salmi told Al Jazeera: The enemy is retreating in the north ⁧‫#غزة‬⁩ and is suffering losses because the resistance has hurt him. We wonder about the sovereignty of the Arab countries and their failure to deal with the war.

Zelensky says Middle East ‘taking focus’ from Ukraine
By AFP Today, 3:31 pm 1

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that the conflict between Israel and Hamas had taken focus away from the war in Ukraine.

“Of course, it’s clear that the war in the Middle East, this conflict, is taking away the focus,” Zelensky says in a press conference with EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.

Sancho Banana posted:

In the IDF, Privates are promoted to corporals after 10 months if they're REMFs, 7 months if they're doing combat support, and at the end of their "advanced training" if they're combatants. The rank of sergeant is granted after 21 months of service for REMFs, 18 months for combat support, and 16 months for combatants.

Sancho Banana posted:

As far as I'm aware, the ranks of corporal, sergeant and staff sergeant don't really mean anything in the IDF. They just decide, from right to left, how many stripes you'll get to sew to your sleeves, with a nice little leaf added for staff sergeants.



In fact, there's a bit of a stigma in the IDF surrounding the two stripes you get for being corporal, because putting them on reveals that you're a youngster. If you don't sew anything to your sleeves, you're either a private or someone who hasn't bothered sewing that poo poo, but if you've got the two stripes on, that's a giveaway that you've been in the force for less then a year, and apparently that's considered embarassing.

How did Hamas get away with it?" and the loving rapid-fire doublethink on display is making my head spin. also love to read an article about palestinian refugee camps that quotes the IDF and a bunch of american scholars, but of course the single quote from an actual palestinian is just some pain porn. loving love "journalism"

They have! But bear in mind when hamas announced a "vehicle" has been destroyed, that almost certainly means not a tank. They have like thousands of the non-tank vehicles (although the soldiers that were inside will probably be harder to replace)

They're more likely testing Israel's AD response. If the Israelis let big rockets come in like that without resistance they probably couldn't see it coming at all.
