aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Israel has a reputation of being very sensitive to casualties, and they've certainly done their best to suppress news of losses as much as possible, but it seems like they've held up so far despite a lot of killed and wounded (compared to their past operations). Is there any sign that military casualties are having an effect on public morale or support for the war at all? It's clear at this point that no number of Palestinians killed by an offensive into Rafah will affect the Israeli public, but it could also lead to a spike in IOF losses as well.

it’s certainly doing something to israeli society, such as the example of this guy who wants a full on apocalyptic war in the north decimating tel aviv because

My general stance is that Hamas is truthful and Israel is lying

The only exception is when the idf describes pissing and making GBS threads their pants in fear when they see a 2 year old Palestinian within 100 metres of a rock, then I believe them

if you remember the video of the two soldiers watching a bulldozer, and then one gets sniped in the spine and drops like a rock while the other runs away? he's apparently the sniped guy.

which, idk, i would have thought majors had more important things to do than "supervise" a bulldozer.

It is kind of mindblowing how bad of an army the IDF appears to be as far as like, tactics, not getting yourselves blown up, strategies to avoid ambushes and other things that seem important to not getting bogged down in a Vietnam-type stalemate against an asymmetrical force with a superior lay of the land

Yeah with a bit of thought it makes sense, cause coddled fascist babies who've primarily been prison guards for their country's history aren't going to be great a soldiering, but it's still kind of absurd just how incompetent they've been and how much that has squandered the advantages they started with prior to Oct 7th.

Why would the army incentivize good habits, which suck, and you have to discipline people into doing, when up to this point their belief has always been the air force will just bomb everything into oblivion?

I mean it's becoming a North Korea type situation where the air force has in fact bombed everything into oblivion yet the other side keeps fighting back anyway.

That didn't go so hot for the UN (lol) forces 75 years ago either.

It's cool that Hamas can manufacture the rifles used to kill the shithead themselves. I wonder if it's just Palestinians acquiring the requisite metalworking / gunsmithing knowledge or if there's any tech stuff that makes it easier for them to make something like this now (3D printed lathes or some such?).

It is the materials strong enough for the task that is the largest hurdle, then you just need a machine shop and some ingenuity.
