At least now Eagles and YoDoY can't shit up these topics.

There's also streamofthesky, but he's too cowardly to post here now that he got out of his suspension so he's resorting to gaslighting and claiming that Israel's critics here are secretly Russia apologists.

Euro Mediterranean Monitor has a team there.

Which is ironic, as Russia supporters are far more likely to support Israel than Palestine.

Do we have any other sources?

As little credit as I'm willing to give a statement from Israel, Euromed is not a spectacular source.

How much has the total aid to Ukraine been? Because I feel like a lot of this stuff would be really helpful for the country actually fighting off an invader.

Theyre getting our hand me downs and equipment we cant use.

It costs us less nothing when factoring in the cost of disposal.

Meanwhile, an increasing number of Americans are being told to choose between food and shelter.

I'm not going to post a link, but CNN has a report on some of the Palestinian children killed by an Israeli airstrike. Anyone who watches that and still thinks anything along the lines of "it is what it is" is a monster.

NYT makes their money from selling digital crosswords and other puzzles. They don't need to do honest reporting.

surely they make most of their revenue from selling advertising rights like every other newspaper?

I'm sure they have their "There were Hamas tunnels under the playground" defense ready.

The tunnels in question.

In Eagles case maybe he shouldn't have tried to gatekeep who could be called a victim of the holocaust while trying to be intellectually smug. Which he also happened to be wrong about. Good riddance.

So after the Washington Post pointed out Israel's story was bullshit, the natural response from the Biden administration is to just ask Israel's side and take that. They are doing everything they can possibly can to look as far away as possible because they know legally they cannot provide weapons to Israel that is clearly committing war crimes.

Trump has publicly stated he wants Netanyahu to be done before the election. He doesn't want to get involved in it (probably because he's on so many payrolls it'll be a conflict of interests for him).

imo Current Prime Minister first priority is his staying in power. Regardless of what Mr. Trump says or Mr. Trump wants --- and what these are the same --- Mr. Netanyahu will do what is in Mr. Netanyahu's best interest.

If Iran had fired all those missiles and drones at Israel when Trump was in charge, 95% would have gotten through.

Israeli missiles have hit a site in Iran

A U.S. official confirmed to ABC News Israeli missiles have hit a site in Iran. The official could not confirm whether Syria and Iraq sites were hit as well.
-ABC News' Martha Raddatz

btw 2 ex Israeli commanders have gone on record saying Israel should not strike Iranian soil.

Iran's counterattack was just to save face, considering how much of an absolute failure it was. But of course, Bibi has to attack again anyway. He wants to inflict as much bloodshed as he can across the entire Middle East at this point, especially if an actual war gets declared at the rate this is going.

Well this is gonna get bad I guess

Would he have insisted on the final word if he knew Israel would have to fight a war against Iran without us intervening?

He has a rich friend with a bunker.

So what happens now? Is Israel fighting Iran alone here? Iran would likely decimate them in days if it came to that. So does the US need to step in? Is Europe getting involved?

Israel is alone on offense. Allies will still defend.

I'm reminded of what Jon Stewart said the other day: "When we carved up your land and gave you all those nice dictatorships, we expected a little better from you."

Breaking. Iran says they have shot down 3 Israeli drones.

Nukes when?

Nukes when?

Iran probably don't have a working deliverable nuke yet, and I don't think even Israel is foolish / desperate enough to use one at this point. They know not even the US will be able to continue supporting them if they do.

I'm so jaded with how Biden is handling it, I wouldn't even come to that conclusion. Hopefully we never have to find out.

So if it never happened then why are all news stations everywhere covering it?

propaganda

It works for me. Jokes on Israel if the rest of the world buys it too.

l mean, it happens in every conflict.
The attacker use it to appear stronger, the defender use it to make it look like it is no big deal.

I really think nuclear attacks is a line even Biden wouldn't support them if they crossed.

The guy giving them the bombs with which they're striking Iranian soil said they shouldn't strike Iranian soil.

I could definitely believe that America won't put boots on the ground (or in the sky) but anyone who thinks America won't help fund it or provide weapons is lying to themself.
