Man, I don’t think anyone had “forced circumcision of enemy combatants” on their war crimes bingo card for this one  Actually, this raises a question: seeing as there’s no way you could spin it as necessary medical procedures, if done on a captured combatant that would count as mutilation of a POW and thus be against some kind of international law of war, right?

Otherwise I can't see anyone getting in trouble for this, the west is in total psycho mode where all the lever-wielders are giving in to their most base impulses.

I'm making a tenative guess through the machine translation, but it feels a bit like he might be calling the Hamas fighters foreskins as a pejorative. e: actually it's more like someone from the US using the phrase 'taking scalps'.

The rest of the post is hosed up enough even without the foreskin trophiesquote:Since ancient times, we are working to repair the world and they are working to destroy. So 3500 years ago with the Philistines and so with their imagined descendants today even more so. We desire life and they desire terror and death. We fill the land with everything good and they fill it with dirt and ashes. Some real lunatic bullshit

Israel's been fed the locations of humanitarian aid groups in Gaza and been asked to avoid striking them (or at least set up a deconfliction line to minimize collateral damage). Instead, while it's not clear they're going full Assad and completely obliterating them, aid groups report locations continue to suffer strikes and deaths with no effort toward deconfliction on the Israeli side.Politico posted:The Biden administration has been providing Israel with the location of humanitarian groups in Gaza for weeks to prevent strikes against their facilities. But Israel has continued to hit such sites.

It's exactly why you need Infantry with armor in urban areas. It's a gently caress up, but a predictable gently caress up. From inside, you can't see poo poo, really. E- there were a few video from Syria where dudes Looney Tunes a frag down a tank barrel.

I'm not sure what the point is of these videos that are edited to show nothing. It looks cool, I guess, but I've never seen a real result of these moves. Maybe someone places something on an APV? It shows poor tactics for the Israelis but in the end it's just some Tik ToK propaganda.

You can find uncut video if you search, I recommend against it though. As almost everyone here can attest, uncut war footage leads to lasting mental trauma. I don't like the Tiktok stupidity either, but at least it cuts out actual people meeting their end. But as always they'd have been fine if the IDF wasn't' doing some genocide in the first place.

I almost never see any BDA in hamas videos. It's either deliberate because they're not getting the results they want or they don't know what they're doing, and their videos are too slickly produced for incompetence to be a credible factor.

In Iraq and Afghanistan (especially Iraq) various insurgent groups commonly used secondary cameras to assess IED/ ambush effectiveness, observe US/CF response, and of course propaganda. We've seen the same thing in Ukraine, with both sides making ample use of drones for BDA and subsequent propaganda. So I think AoD is right.

Not exactly the same thing, but during the Syrian civil war the US was providing ATGMs to al Nusra, I think. But they only sent replacement missiles if the rebels could provide video of them hitting a target with the first one. The videos of course went straight to YouTube.

Minor quibble: the US never gave TOWs/ATGMs to Nusra. We gave them to “moderate” rebel groups who at least didn’t have any jihadist leanings, and yeah, they had to film each strike as a precondition to getting more. Nusra ended up with more than a few because they were basically like “hey, we want those missiles or we’ll kill your little group and your families and then take them.” You don’t have to have an MBA or Six Sigma black belt to know that arming Al-Qaeda is a bad idea.

I'd briefly missed that feeling of our ME policy being driven by people who know less than nothing about the ME. Cardin has no excuse to not know more. Sullivan knows gently caress all about the ME too and I can't get over that he literally had a massive essay for Foreign Policy about to be published in the Nov issue about how peaceful and quiet the Middle East was when this all popped off. Granted it was because they'd invaded it, but there was a brief moment there where many people making decisions wrt ME policy had at least been to the region and maybe even knew someone who spoke one of the relevant languages. Sarcasm aside, towards the end of the GWOT I was regularly running into people fresh out of government/military who were often familiar enough with the region that it wasn't embarrassing to hear them talk about the region and a non-trivial amount who really were quite astute and had some real insight and often knew a decent amount of Arabic or Pashto or Dari or Farsi or something.
