View original postIt would have been something of an equalizer on the field of terror.


View original postBecause as soon as this happened again we started to hear that word again... Proportionality.


View original postOne could argue that if proportionality means comparative death toll, well, the death toll should be summed in the end, no ?


View original postBut the true proportionality of war is fought on the psyche. And on that field the Palestinians always win because they bring terror Israel never can.


View original postAn example I like to use: In my life I had to go through several cycles of violence. Here I compare the "Suicide bombings phase" to the "dumb inexpensive rockets" phase.


View original postI can assure you many more people were murdered by suicide bombings, but rockets are a much more devastating weapon. With suicide bombers, if you avoid crowded places, don't use public transportation, you are mostly safe. And more importantly, you don't have to be afraid when you lie down in bed. But rockets can get you anywhere anytime. Statistically they won't, but you can't relax even when taking a dump.


View original postNow "critical theory" academia have somehow engineered the world to view the Palestinian regular folk as a separate entity from Hamas, as if they hadn't voted for Hamas in the last free election. (BTW, Lebanon is also gets to coast by as separate from Hezbollah).


View original postAnd as part of this gift is they get to be warned to leave the northern part of the strip and can go south. Sure they are super crowded but mostly peaceful Now Israel is even pushed by the polite world to allow humanitarian aid to reach them even as Hamas holds some 200 abducted people. Some 30 children among them.


View original postBTW, it turns out we in Israel were lucky. Hezbollah could have breached the northern border at the same time with 10000 commandos, veterans of the Syrian war. It could have taken months to push them back.


View original postIn all probability the Iranians didn't want them to because they suspected it might trigger a world war. That is the one scenario they lose.


View original postMy reality has burst like a stock market bubble. Two weeks ago I was following the Champions League, focused on my job, learning guitar. Now everything seems pointless, paper thin.


View original postMy girls are 4.5 and 3 and unaware of what's going on. They get to watch Bluey and Paw Patrol all day because school is out.


View original postBut now I lie in bed and I know, I KNOW, someday those barbarians will kill my two little girls. And if it takes long enough and they grow up, will probably rape them too.


View original postBut the good news is we have nuclear armed subs in the Persian gulf, so hopefully we get to rid the world of the ayatollahs on the way out.


View original postI think I'm having a mental breakdown. Seriously.

Ok, I've come to the idea that if I dont mention my nephew who will be going into that hell with the infantry, it will be bad karma.

If all of that is true, and I’m not saying it isn’t, how are 500-plus 200-plus dead? Vodalus - 19/10/2023 11:11:11 PM 138 Views
The current US intelligence estimate is 100-300 dead leaning towards the lower figure. damookster - 19/10/2023 11:34:25 PM 109 Views
