Does anyone know what’s really happening there?
Seems like no flights until the morning. Is this becoming a nightly thing until Iran responds?

Looks like Iran is about to do something. They’re broadcasting the national anthem on their tv channels and all sorts of macho bullshit imagery on their socials. Mostly missles taking flight ‘get ready’ and ‘leave now’ stuff.

Could just be posturing but maybe not

Probably something to think about
How do you come to understand the full picture so well, while the rest of us are mostly in the dark being so reliant on the heavily edited media?
Because you start with "who has less relative power" instead of "who benefits"

Yea but in this case the relatively less powerful were occupied for 38 years, and Israel continues to slowly annex the West Bank to this day. Also, the Palestinians have been recognized as having the right to self determination for a long time now, but do not have that.

I feel like the very pro-Israel arguments do not take into account the glaringly obvious things - like settlements, check points, blockades and such that prevent peace. Netanyahu and plenty of Israeli governments officials have made clear they have no intention of changing any of that. Do Palestinians benefit from any of this? People who want conflict benefit, and I don’t know why anyone thinks only Hamas wants that.

Meanwhile this is going onto unremarked on mostly. Israeli settlers have ramped up attacks in the West Bank and burning and stealing people’s homes.
Not sure if it ever stopped but it’s gotten worse last while

so i legit don't understand our contradictory foreign policy. how can we justify supplying ukraine with weapons but condition it on ukraine not firing into russian territory, but at the same time we're ok with supplying israel with weapons that they can fire into lebanon or palestine with impunity?

Hamas executing six hostages isn’t going to help things. Especially since one of them was that American kid that had his arm blown off and survived

If you believe that. Far more likely they like everyone else, either died in a bombing run or were shot on sight by IDF. But they had been dead for some time according to reports here.

Estimated 250k out on the streets in Tel Aviv now protesting Netenyahu and all of it.

IDF: Go to this camp, you'll be safe there.

Also IDF: Israel strikes camp in Gaza safe zone, dozens killed

If you want to see a national psychosis in Israel that is enabling this horror, go listen to @JoeBrolly1993

He uses actually Israeli voices to show their utter contempt for innocents.

I thought this genocide couldn’t shock and upset me more.

I was wrong.
