In Hamas' case they could use them for new recruits to familiarize with moving around/crawling/vaulting etc before giving them real guns (or maybe there aren't enough real guns to use for training idk) or use in martial arts so you don't break anything/hurt anyone, otherwise yeah it's a little sus Israel just so happened to find a cache of rubber duckies in the form of what their opfor would use in training

Semper Shitpost Ubique

Taking a rubber rifle out for an exercise where you'll just be chilling in a command post saves you a huge amount of annoyance. You don't have to clean it, make safe every time you go in or out of the CP or vehicle (so no NDs around RHQ for a change), and you don't have to stand in line at the cages at 7 o'clock in the morning on the first day to sign it out and until 10 pm at endex to turn it in.

It's an absolute pro move.

it's ugly in context, but i think all active malice here is on the part of israel which is actively starving people

today we gave now completed two months into this war. its been an icredible two months both in the good and bad ways. in the good ways, Hamas won on october 7th and Hamas is still winning today. I am stunned beyond belief at the scale and scope of the palestinians military victory and resistance, the complete destruction of the IDF as an institution, if you had told me the military actions and accomplishments of the gaza resistance i wouldve said youre nuts and you're taking stuff out of metal gear cutscenes or a dumb action movie, but here we are, it's real. Hamas has nailed every single aspect of this war, military, media, etc. the worldwide protests was astounding. the israeli campaign is faltering and failing, and soon they will be forced to stop the war.

but it is tempered by the bad side, the west has completely sloughed off their faces to reveal the nazis within, the level of destruction and mass murder of civilians ahasnt been seen like this outside of ww2 and the insane cruelty and pettiness of the israelis are right out of 'come and see' and the SS files, the deep hurt i feel towards the civilian catastrophe and the shame i feel at the meek, cowardly and traitorous arab governments. and double shame that normal arab folk are too oppressed and too defeated to pressure them further. the sheer inhumanity and cruelty and insanity of the IDF and the death and destruction they've caused to innocent civilians and children is heartbreaking beyond belief.

but thank goodness, that cruelty amounted to nothing, for once, for once the light of humanity is winning, we're winning against the darkness of barbarism. the cost is high, it was always going to be, but the win against he barbaric fortress politics of the west were people can be shoved into concentration camps and be forgotten more than makes up for it.


I'm not a particularly religious guy, but I was thinking alot recently about how there was a scene from the movie 'the message' about the prophet muhammad, in which at one point all the tribes of mecca signed a document that exiled muhammad and his followers out of the city, and forced a total starvation siege on them, banning all trade with them, they nailed that declaration to the door of the Kaaba, the muslims were starving out and dying for a year or so, being forced to eat whatever scraps and leaved and such they can gather.

One day, relatives and fellow tribesmen (who werent muslim) of muhammads followers had had enough, they forced their way to the Kaaba, to tear the document, sword in hand.

only to find out that the document had literally been eaten by termites, the only section left uneaten was a single phrase:-

"In the name of your god."

god sent his smallest, weakest and least noticable creatures to literally eat the document and stop the starvation. and right now, god sends his weakest servants, the people of gaza, to shake us all free. the fleet carriers of america, the greed and vanity of the gulf royals, the cruelty and insanity of the israelis, their money, their armies, their cruelty all are nothing in the face of god.

as i said from the very beginning palestine will win. and from here the true liberation of palestine will begin. and hopefully the liberation of arabs from the jail of oppression.

this is beautiful; thanks.

Another question for the armyheads: The IDF's olive green uniforms are pretty poo poo for an environment like Gaza, no? Seems like the color would stick out like a sore thumb.



I mean, the IDF does have uniforms whose color would probably blend in much better in a place like that...

...for the Navy and Air Force.




Only their service dress, though.

Fake edit: when I got those images just now I found out that they experimented with new field uniforms a couple years ago, but dropped the idea after soldiers complained that they were uncomfortable and increased the chances of friendly fire because they looked too similar to some of Hezbollah's uniforms and confused soldiers who were used to the old ones.

Once again failing to learn the lesson of history (or basic empathy) because they fail to see the enemy as sharing the same basic humanity. This principle has been tried and articulated again and again and it's soo rear end-backwards. People do not work that way.

Broadly speaking, bombing people makes them rally around the flag and blame the people dropping bombs, setting aside differences and sharing unity and resilience. No one every does the simple head-check of the "shoe on the other foot/walk a mile in their moccasins" principle to ask "hey if an external enemy was doing this to me, would I give up, or pressure my army to give up?" Because again, it's a failure of basic empathy and a success of dehumanization, the goal isn't some strategic objective the slaughter and depravity is the point.

If you read the quote by the doctrine's originator it seems like the goal was to get Hizbullah's leadership to back off based on their responsibility to protect the civilians being targeted. This is quite a different concept than having those civilians exert pressure on said leadership.

at the risk of Doing OSINT, these look fake as hell. literally less convincing than a 100 dollar airsoft replica

worth noting they are all laid with the side that has the chamber/ejection port and fire selector to the ground, likely because they look even faker laid out in the other direction
