I've been thinking the joint chiefs are doing a version of the dead parrot monty python sketch about US capabilities every day. Biden asks yet again why we aren't bombing Yemen and the joint chiefs are like the number of missiles we have available to shoot is still zero. Absence of missiles is what we have. We want to shoot missiles, but that requires having a number greater than zero to actually shoot them. Where the missile we would shoot at Yemen normally sit a piece of paper says 'sorry sent to ukraine'. A positive number of missiles is something we are pursuing, but we still have a non-positive number. etc

no, no, the US still has missiles

however if the US uses any missiles it won't have any missiles in case it needs to get into another war

and the US must always be ready to fight at least one more war, lest anyone get any ideas about dogpiling

American military official: There is no indication that the Houthis will stop their attacks in the Red Sea
The Associated Press quoted the Commander of the US Navy in the Middle East as saying that the Houthis are showing no sign of stopping their attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea, and that their attacks are continuing despite the expansion of the international coalition to protect ships.

The American military commander added that 17 drones and 4 missiles had been shot down, and that 1,200 ships had sailed through the Red Sea since the “Guardian of Prosperity” force began its work in the region.

the more i read about the communist 'harshness and crimes' the more ive come to realize that they acted in the most reasonable way possible because they fully inderstood the nature of right wing fascism and authoritarianism, and acted accordingly, anything less than what they did wouldve ended up killing them.

look right now at palestine, look at where fatah ended up after behaving 'reasonably' while hamas, the ultimate boogeyman, turned oit to have 100% been in the right all along because they treated israel as the nazi monsters they are.

This is what you learn every time you dig deep into resistance that was actually successful. The noble, reasonable resistance are all the ones that failed and were then brutally punished and the survivors oppressed even harder. Incidentally the latter group is the one we are primarily educated about as examples to follow if we wish to dissent. The former we are educated about, if we are at all, as history’s greatest monsters.

Actually Hamas subjected her to horrific torture like "making her cut her own hair (because she didn't want her captor to do it)" and "making her watch her mother on tv".

quote:

One day, as Schem struggled with a knot in her hair, her captor approached with scissors, she wrote. She screamed at him, telling him she would sort it out herself, which ended up taking her almost two weeks because of her injured arm, she said.

quote:

She told Israeli television that at one point her captor called her over to watch footage on television of her mother speaking at a news conference, saying he did so “to hurt me”, but that she nevertheless drew strength from seeing her mother.

Israeli politicians' displays of intent to commit war crimes have been so extremely numerous and undeniable that the only way you can really claim that it isn't committing them is by pretending like the government, including the Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has no control over military policy. Actually, that fits pretty well with the libshit narrative that the IDF are good boys and it's just the Likud regime and Netanyahu that are bad.

I'm just saying it's circumstantial but could point to her being bribed to say these things.

She claims she acted nice in front of cameras at release to protect those still in custody, but shouldn't that still apply. She knows they watch Israeli news, she tells us they showed her mother on the news. Her new testimony doesn't seem credible and to me comes across like Israel was busy trying find one released hostage with low scruples who would say what they've scripted.

I would not be at all surprised that Israel was threatening and coercing former hostages to make the horror stories they want. Lol that even then she's literally just describing fair treatment as evil and scary. Probably knowing she'll get it worse down the track if she lies.

I don't think she's intentionally lying, if she was told to make up atrocities, she would make up actual atrocities - not poo poo like a kid not giving her candy, or the Hamas guy not raping her, which she believes he totally would've if his wife wasn't around. It seems to me like she was genuinely, though irrationally, worried about getting attacked. I mean gently caress, in the full interview after telling the harrowing tale of children peeking into her room and a boy trolling her with a bag of candy, she says "It's about evil. How evil. They looked at me like an animal". I think she was just paranoid and had a twisted understanding of the situation.

Remember this?

While describing scenes of friendly interaction, Agam stressed that “I don’t want anyone to think we had it good there, that they’re good there, that we saw humanity there. We’re telling these stories, about the things that were slightly normal in an abnormal situation, because that’s what kept us just a bit sane.”

She added that before the attack, “We believed that there are no bad people — only people who have it bad. But there are bad people.”

Agam described one incident in which the family was staying at a school where “a nice woman welcomed us and offered us water and arranged a place for us to sleep,” and “I turned to my mother and said ‘There are good people in the world.'”

“And five minutes later, they shot a barrage of rockets from the school [into Israel] and everyone was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar’ and I told her, ‘Forget what I said, they’re all the same.'”

“We will never forgive and we will never show any kind of empathy towards these people,” Agam said. “If we previously believed that there was a chance for peace, we’ve lost all faith in these people, especially after we were there and among the population.”
Most of the hostages were sitting there and seething with resentment despite not being beaten and mistreated, which skews how they view the situation.
