Hamas attacks Israel
-
Fucking hell I hope bach's okay. ️

Just a quick domestic political comment, under the irony is ironic column...
In the last 40 years, some of the strongest supporters of Israel have been Jon's MAGATs and evangelicals. Some of the weakest, have been the Democrat Party.
Just an observation, carry on...
-
Another observation...I assume most, if not all of the weapons that Hamas and Hezbollah are using are of Russian manufacture. Following the money, who sold them and where did the funds come from to purchase them?
-
And even that guy uses only future tense verbs. The fungibility argument is reasonable, just not yet.

@George-K said in Hamas attacks Israel:
From the post:
But, more importantly, in a larger sense the Biden administration has contributed both to the notion that Hamas was a legitimate Middle East player, and to the perception that the U.S. was backing away from its traditional support for Israel—to the delight of Hamas—based on the following inexplicable policies:
- In February Secretary of State Blinken had bragged that not only had the Biden administration resumed massive aid to the PLA cancelled by Trump, but cumulatively had transferred $1 billion—even as Palestinian authorities bragged that they would continue to pay bounties to the families of “martyrs” (i.e., those killed while conducting terrorists attacks against Israel).
And millions of American dollars also went into Gaza, run by Hamas—despite the Biden administration’s efforts to keep mostly quiet the resumption of such inexplicable support. In this regard, note the current shameful State-Department (“U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs”) website news release that was posted after today’s attack. It ended with this quite embarrassing, morally equivalent admonition:
“We urged all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
"All sides?" "Refrain from retaliatory attacks?”
So Israel is the moral equivalent of terrorists executing civilians and brutalizing their corpses? And the IDF then is not supposed to retaliate against these killers?
This Biden State Department insanity cannot stand. So expect some apparatchik to take down this Munich-like posting as soon as possible.

George - those are fair criticisms. Magat twitter didn't have them on hand yesterday, so they resorted to the shit I had to debunk here.
-
Maybe their shit was essentially right.
Not that you would admit it.
-
No, there was no causal connection between the 6B released to the Qatari banks two weeks ago and this. You admitted as much yourself that this has obviously been planned for months.
-
I do think it has been planned for months. What I do wonder about, was if the release of the money was enough to flip the switch.
-
IDF says they’re still battling Hamas on Israeli territory.

According to Sec Blinken, the hostages dragged across the border include a holocaust survivor in a wheelchair.
