There was a theory earlier in the thread that Hamas had their most well trained and dedicated soldiers taking care of the hostages. without the hostages, seems like the IDF is pretty hosed now with these soldiers now unleashed on the battlefield?

it probably doesn’t help that leftism is so ill defined it’s considered leftist to be anti genocide which tbh is really a humanitarian issue not a economic one but …. *gestures about wildly* here we are in the discourse lol

Probably not but what they have shown is that they have strict organisational discipline.

In other news
Israel is letting off impotent steam in the west bank, raiding, arresting and shooting Palestinians in the west bank.

Want to thank Al-Saqr and Sancho and the other Arabic and Hebrew speakers for posting in this thread, there's so much information you never get if you only listen to English language media. Wild that most western anglos probably believe they're getting all sides of this conflict when they cant even understand the languages of the two sides. You can really see it in the difference between the messaging Israel puts out in English versus what it puts out in Hebrew.

He says the UAE is helping Israel bomb Gaza in the interview so the tweet isnt wrong. Edit: to be clear, he says that, but the tone is more that he suspects they (the uae) is providing support to israel.

This is my own opinion, but from reading how the US handles transfer of ammunition, and if stockpiles are low there is a distinct possibility they transferred some bombs to israel from the UAE via the US acting as an intermediary? i dont think its impossible, the UAE has been outright hostile towards any MB linked group. Hell they backstabbed saudi arabia in yemen because the saudis backed an MB group (look up how Aden was seized during the yemeni war around 2015-2019 etc)

"Sir? Can you hear me? I'm very sorry but we're going to have to cut your limited edition pre order call of duty mask off to save your life. We need to get a tube in."

his tone here isnt 'I have evidence' it's more 'we have confirmed information.'

But honestly it's not surprising at all, It's widely acknowledged that the Emirates, Bahrain and saudi elites are in a human centipede relationship with Israel so this doesnt come as a shock to me. at no point did any of these three countries take any real steps to downgrade their relationship with israel so they absolutely have palestinian blood on their hands.

They absolutely needed Israel to defeat hamas so they can finally be done with the palestinians and achieve the big thing of saudi-israel normalization.

Thankfully, their absolute worst case scenario happened, not only has israel been decisively defeated on the battlefield, the palestinian cause won a strategic political victory and all hopes for further normalization has been destroyed, the only thing keeping the governments from shredding their treaties is because they are single-person dictatorships run by insane stupid rabid animals. in terms of people and saudi people especially there's no way they will accept israeli normalization for the forseeable future.

He says, when asked to elaborate on outside parties participating in the attacl on gaza
"...There is confirmed information on the UAEs participation in the attack on gaza, unfortunately"

However he does not go on to say how they materially supported israeli military efforts, but more in a general sense, talking about repression of public displays of support for palestinians, the UAE/Saudi influencer spheres being shills for Israel, and that the gulf states have a lower tolerance for an Israeli defeat than the Israelis themselves, since that would precipitate into a fall of their regimes.

I spent more than ten years studying medieval Jewish German literature. A lot of Maimonides. I have a shelf of hymn books in Yiddish, German, and Polish. I have a section of manuscripts that are specifically of womens' hymns from the 1700's. It's beautiful literature. It's centuries of good stuff. But that's not what Zionism is.

What I'm trying to say is gently caress Herzl.

From the river to the sea.

Death to the state of Israel.

Most of all, gently caress the imperialist nations of the global West.

Not their best soldiers, rather the most politically reliable. You don't need battlefield prowess to be a prison guard (just look at the IDF!). Rather, you want politically reliable guards who are willing and able to act with their strategic interest in play: keep their hostages alive and in good condition.

Unlike how Israel has been treating Palestinian prisoners, with summary executions and beatings and abuse.

France isn't better in this aspect. The only openly harsh but deserved criticism towards Israel I heard on TV was from Michel Yakovleff, a general who had responsiblities within NATO and SHAPE

For French speakers, one recent episode of Rhinoceros talked about the complete failure of french media (*)to be balanced about Israel Palestine conflict
