How do yall think things will actually pan out for all Palestinians if Hamas turns out victorious? I imagine things can't go anywhere but up from the horrific position they are in now, but what will life look like for non-Muslim Palestinians/Palestinian jews? Are there any good sources I can look at that might relate to these thoughts

Drone swarm released from Lebanon hitting all over northern Israel.

its on!!! hundred of suicide drones enter from the North INSHALLAH

Edit: or i was overhyped and its a psychological fog of War thing or the Warning system got hacked and caused mass panic.. , because no reports of impacts.

Hamas is still firing missiles at Asqalan, Ashdod and Tel Aviv

Israeli Forces have Postponed the 2-Hour Deadline given to Evacuate the Al-Awda Hospital in the Northern Gaza Strip, with the IDF now giving until 6am, 8 additional Hours, until the Hospital needs to be Totally Evacuated; Doctors at the Hospital have stated that it is Complete Chaos and the Transfer of some Patients will be almost Impossible.

Well fuck. With Russia and China signaling tacit support for Palestinians, could we potentially be entering the cool zone?

I’m a big dummy and have no idea about international politics

This is absolutely evil. Is there any nearby country with the ability to shoot down Israeli jets?

Israeli colonel tells Middle East Eye that if Israel proceeds with ground invasion, boots could remain on the ground for a lengthy, but undetermined, period.

Does anyone have the link to the report about creating islamic extremism in Xiajiang by some US state dept or something?

Security experts say U.S. military support for Ukraine and Israel will complicate efforts to deter any Chinese attack on Taiwan.

Retired Navy Capt. Jim Fanell, a former Pacific Fleet intelligence director and specialist on China’s military, said Beijing is watching the increased need for weapons after the Hamas attack, combined with two years of demands on the U.S. armament supply chain from the war on Ukraine.

The Pentagon is rapidly boosting its support for the Israeli military by sending air defenses, munitions and other military goods, a senior defense official told reporters.

Im gonna be a fucking stupid optimist this time: I really think that this can be pulled off.

Its just been more and more paper tigers from Israel. Arabia is mobilizing against aggression so blatant that even the bourgeoisie of those countries see it as a threat. While any real response will have Israel fleeing to the sea. Settlers will never be able to pull off resistance like those who actually live there. The nukes are a problem though, but if things collapse quickly enough, I don't believe they will be able to use them. Even if Israel wins initially, the settler project has been dealt a blow that is impossible to heal from. Millions flee the colonialist state. The army has been made a laughing stock! The crimes are so vile that even the US focused nations in the regions will respond.

Israel is dead, and it is just the beginning.

The Syrian defence ministry says Israel has launched an air strike against the international airport in Aleppo, which has put it out of service.

This is the statement it gave to Reuters:

"The Israeli enemy carried out an air attack from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Latakia, targeting Aleppo International Airport, which led to material damage to the airport and it being out of service," the ministry said.

This is not the first time the airport has been hit. Two days ago, Syria's state media reported Israeli forces had launched "simultaneous" missile strikes on two main airports in Aleppo and Damascus.

The attack damaged both runways and put both hubs out of service.

The strikes on the airports are intended to disrupt Iranian supply lines to Syria, a source told Reuters.

The Israeli military has not commented on the strikes, but earlier said that two rockets had been launched from Syria toward Israeli territory that "fell in an open area".

"No interceptors were activated according to protocol," the IDF said of that incident.

I have to avoid saying what I feel or I'd be fed posting all day long.

Hospital patients spent part of the night on the street in Gaza, medical aid group says

Patients and medical staff of Al Awda Hospital in Gaza spent part of their night on the street “with bombs landing in close proximity,” following Israel’s orders to evacuate the facility, the medical aid group Doctors Without Borders said.

Scott Hamilton, a spokesman for the aid group, which is known as MSF, said some of the medical staff and all patients have been moved to another location.

“But the situation remains extremely complicated and chaotic,” he told The Associated Press. “We call on Israel once again to cease the indiscriminate bloodshed, withdraw their ultimatum.”

I watched Hearts and Minds for the first time last night. Brutal stuff. I didn't realize that this film is where Westmoreland said "Life is cheap in the Orient." Another lowlight - the former POW who came home to New Jersey to tell schoolchildren that Vietnam would be beautiful, if it weren't for all the people. (He's still alive.)

Read contemporary reviews of the film, and you'll see that even more nothing has changed - it's criticized for having too black-and-white of a take on a "convoluted" issue (something preemptively debunked by Daniel Ellsberg in the film, when he says, "The question used to be: might it be possible that we were on the wrong side in the Vietnamese War? But, we weren't on the wrong side. We are the wrong side.").

A great Palestinian documentary, 5 Broken Cameras, received the exact same reviews: "An NPR review of the film noted that it 'is unabashedly pro-Palestinian, an indictment of Israel's settlement policy that never examines either the settlers' claims or the security forces' point of view'." (It's a film from the perspective of a Palestinian farmer, you shitheel.)

This is tangential and maybe a bit crass, but I do think that this war dooms Biden's re-election chances, regardless of the outcome.
