wait was it ansar allah or the yemeni government army?

I understand Ansar Allah have kept the regular organs of the state going, this includes the army. As they claim to be the government of Yemen (correctly I believe) they refer to their armed forces as the Yemeni Armed Forces. Pretty sure it includes significant parts of the pre civil war army.

The difference here though is that there is no infrastructure. All of it was destroyed. In the West Bank, the water sources, housing, etc. was already readily available to steal. Israel will have to build everything back from the ground up literally, and it’s questionable that clean water and the infrastructure to support Israeli citizens, can be brought back into Gaza again. Israel is not a good source of clean water as is, much of its water usage is recycled, or comes from the ocean and the salt is filtered out. This is resource intensive and Israel already has problems making it work.

I hope I'm wrong but I can think of a bunch of countries who would love to bankroll that.

My prediction is that this ends in the short term with just a smaller Gaza Strip. On the bright side, I don’t think Israel as it currently exists is viable for more than a couple decades unless they course correct because American willingness and capacity to rescue them from an actual pan-arab coalition is a long but ticking clock

if that happens it will be due to a lack of immigration. I don’t think there is any difference between now and 1948 in the behaviour of Israel. they just never had the excuse before. plus Israel has nukes and they absolutely would nuke everything out of spite. I haven’t seen an actual argument as to why they are finished. it would be nice if they were though.

quote:

GENEVA (19 February 2024) – UN experts* today expressed alarm over credible allegations of egregious human rights violations to which Palestinian women and girls continue to be subjected in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Palestinian women and girls have reportedly been arbitrarily executed in Gaza, often together with family members, including their children, according to information received. “We are shocked by reports of the deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge, or while fleeing. Some of them were reportedly holding white pieces of cloth when they were killed by the Israeli army or affiliated forces,” the experts said.

The experts expressed serious concern about the arbitrary detention of hundreds of Palestinian women and girls, including human rights defenders, journalists and humanitarian workers, in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October. Many have reportedly been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, denied menstruation pads, food and medicine, and severely beaten. On at least one occasion, Palestinian women detained in Gaza were allegedly kept in a cage in the rain and cold, without food.

“We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have also been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence,” the experts said. They also noted that photos of female detainees in degrading circumstances were also reportedly taken by the Israeli army and uploaded online.

The experts expressed concern that an unknown number of Palestinian women and children, including girls, have reportedly gone missing after contact with the Israeli army in Gaza. “There are disturbing reports of at least one female infant forcibly transferred by the Israeli army into Israel, and of children being separated from their parents, whose whereabouts remain unknown,” they said.

I don't know if there's a guarantee we get a video of this one sinking, we'll just have to wait for confirmation.

Ansarallah probably doesn't want to loiter around in range of western guns waiting for it to sink just to get a good propaganda shot and the westerners might not film it or release the footage because it demonstrates how pathetic and cucked they are.

Quick note about that 19.3% contraction of the israeli economy: it's only annualized 19.3% i.e. the economy would have shrunk 19.3% if it shrunk all year long at the rate it shrunk in Q4. So like, obviously still bad news, but less catastrophic (unfortunately).

from https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-war-hits-israeli-economy-with-194-q4-drop-2024-02-19/

looking at the component data though - it looks even worse than the headline, so still very good news

quote:

The economy in the fourth quarter was impacted by a 26.9% drop in private spending - the main growth driver - an 18.3% fall in exports and 67.8% slide in investment in fixed assets, especially in residential building.

guess not a lot of interest in Israeli property recently

of course they’ve always been committing a genocide - they have no “excuse” for anything. throughout times the resistance was non existent, much weaker, or content to let them retreat back to their borders - so thats a pretty big difference this time. America can’t do anything to help except to keep pretending they’re “fighting Yemen pirates” and the other side still has far more powerful allies to pull in - Israel has no one left to tap.

the nuke everyone argument is overused - people can point out South Africa having nukes too, but it’s too charged of a topic. not saying you intended this but something to consider if not - hysterics over nukes (particularly related exclusively to America or Israel having them) is lib speak for calls to return to status quo

they don't but in a rare case of sensibility from the american MIC it's for the best because there's no way a drone could have any defenses against modern air defense

step one of anti air defense is having good intelligence on where the radars and launchers are, which :burger: demonstrably doesn't have. step two is having multiple airborne search radars operating in the area which :burger: also does not have. step three is having multiple pilots and perspectives to spot launches faster either with the eyeball or RWR which drones don't have because they loiter by themselves with one bored idiot watching the cameras, step four is being near the outside edge of their engagement envelope either by being very distant (which they can't, if they want to drop bombs or fire AGMs) or flying NOE to artificially restrict the effective engagement range of the launchers (which drones can't do, the reason they can loiter is being optimized for slow, high altitude flight), step five is reacting as fast as possible to jettison tanks and munitions and haul rear end out of the way as fast as possible which the drones can't do because they're slow and flying from so far away they'd loving crash anyway if they jettisoned fuel, step six is rapidly changing vectors when the missile closes to escape the kill radius which the drones can't do because they've got the reaction time of a satellite phone from nevada and fly like a barn anyway

e: just to be clear on how slow an mq-9 is; it has a single 712kw turboprop engine. the p-36 hawk, first flown in 1935, had a 780 kw engine. it was notably slow for a ww2 fighter, largely outclassed by every plane people actually remember and was capable of 312mph; the mq-9 tops out at 240. it is not going to avoid a missile. any missile.

in retrospect it's kinda funny that there must have been an assumption that nobody the USA was fighting would ever be able to develop and manufacture a surface-to-air missile
