Really, really pessimistic hope though lol

So he’s just completely delusional?

Their last attack killed a single Palestinian and Israel just destroyed their air defense with planes in response. There is no scenario where Iran comes out ahead in this. Does the Supreme Leader think he has a chance, does he think he has to do this to save face to retain power, or is it just suicidal hatred of Jews and the West?

The 25th is a Wednesday, not a Tuesday like he was wanting. Tuesday is nice because you get a four-day weekend without using any days off. (Though, usually you’d get the next off if it was a Monday or Sunday or whatever.) I think the best is Friday or Monday because then New Year’s gives you a three-day weekend too.

It will copy to the clipboard if possible. You can probably get it working with a bit of tinkering: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/help/copypaste.md

people don’t read books any more only text messages and social media and sometimes subtitles so this is a more natural way of speaking that saves you from having to go to the other page of keys thats way to much work anyway ykwim

Israel definitely did its part, but I’m just saying Gaza was way better off even just on October 6th before Hamas started the war.

Mass murderers objectively have a pretty low value of human life. But there’s also the fact that he started an organization to send people to their deaths, brought unprecedented war to Gaza, stole humanitarian aid, stole millions of dollars, and has adamantly rejected any peace talks.

Here’s a pretty in-depth article on him.

He was literally convicted in 1989 of murdering 12 Palestinians. He only got out of prison because Israel cured his cancer and traded him for some hostages. He also killed 15 fellow Palestinians while in prison. Not to mention the whole founding Hamas thing which has done nothing but made the tragedy in Gaza ten times worse. He tanked any effort towards a two-state solution and insisted that an Arab-only ethnostate was the only acceptable solution, and he was willing to kill as many young men as required to try to make that happen.

Cuba has powered itself by relying on cheap oil imports from Venezuela and Russia. As both of them have slid towards collapse, it is speculated that Cuba is flat out running out of the bargain fossil fuels it relies on to operate. This is now causing widespread blackouts as the country continues to fall apart.

The Butcher of Khan Younis? He’s arguably the one person on earth who cared the least for his people. Throughout his life, he killed and tortured Palestinians as pawns to inflame as much hatred as possible. He was a martyr for pure evil and is undeniably in hell. His people and Israelis alike are better for his death.

Killing terrorists isn’t genocide. Plenty of violent groups have been stopped by arresting or killing their members. That doesn’t mean their race, culture, or nation was destroyed though. The only “culture” that distinguishes them from those around them is a philosophy predicated on killing as many civilians as possible. Often people within their own culture stop them with violence since they often target their own.

It sounds like they saw three militants in an abandoned building, got in a firefight therewith, hit the building with a tank, and found his body in the rubble.
They didn’t know it was hit at the time, but it really looked like him, so photos of him with a giant hole in his head hit Twitter pretty fast and it was pretty unmistakable, but DNA testing has confirmed it now.
No hostages or civilians were in the building. It’s not clear what he was doing above ground. This lends credence to the speculation that all the hostages Hamas had are dead or sold at this point.

Hopefully this leads to the end of the war. Between Hamas seemingly running out of hostages and those responsible for October 7 mostly dead, it seems like most of the barriers to peace are gone.

They’re delaying AC: Shadows.

Israel put bombs in pagers and radios and secretly sold them to Hezbollah. The only people who therefore would have had them were people Hezbollah gave them to to coordinate with. You can’t really get more targeted than that. There’s not some magic Jewish radio waves blowing up civilian radios lol.

If they’re on active duty, they’re legitimate military targets. If they’re on inactive duty, they’re considered civilians.

But if they are active duty and have military comms, it’s just called an “attack”, not a “terror attack”, even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.

Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants.

You can look up the videos. People standing three feet away are fine while the person with the pager is down for the count. Innocents are always harmed in war, but this was about as precise and just a strike as humanly possible.

These were pagers specifically ordered by Hezbollah. Random civilians wouldn’t have had them.

Israel appears to have infiltrated Hezbollah’s pager supply chain, replaced them all with bomb pagers, and then sent a mass page to detonate them all.

You can see a terrorist getting got here: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605 (Not graphic)

Edit: Iran’s ambassador in Lebanon also had a Hezbollah pager
