War in Israel

Right now the vast majority of Israelis live their lives the way that Americans do: you go to work, you pick up your kids from school, you get home at night, you can relax, have fun on weekends, etc. The vast majority have not had their lives interrupted by terrorism. The vast majority can afford to live comfortably and safely. 
 

This is not the way it was during the first 30 years or so of Israel’s existence. Back then, in the 50s and 60s, inflation was terrible- up to 30% every year. Overcrowding was terrible. Unemployment was awful. And war constantly threatening- not missiles or terrorism but actual war with armies invading supported by the Soviet Union. No allies in Egypt or Jordan. Very little help from the United States. 
 

So yes it could get far worse. Let me offer a very real possibility- Jordan, which has a peace treaty with Israel is filled with Palestinian refugees (and in actuality the Jordanians are Palestinians themselves). The king is overthrown by a group sympathetic  to Hamas and Hezbollah, giving the Israels 3 hostile fronts instead of two. Then Egypt also becomes hostile giving Israel 4 hostile fronts. Then Syria becomes an active enemy again giving Israel 5 fronts. Then the radicals in Saudi Arabia rise up and overthrow their government, which would force the USA to return heavy to the Middle East. 
 

Get worse? Oh focking yeah it could. 

I am not sure your proposed scenarios come anywhere close to as bad as the Iranian theocracy flush with oil cash and only months away from the bomb.  In fact I would argue otherwise, especially if by the time your scenario comes to pass the Israelis have just truncated Iran with America's help and returned that Persian state to the forward thinking western state it was prior to the fall of the Shah.

 

Still, what do I know?  I am not living in Israel.  Neither am I a jew.  My perspective may be one fostered by a lack of direct personal investment.

Iranians had to step up.  Their proxies are frozen right now.  Leadership is practically non-existent, and they do not know what else has been rigged for them; hint, there is more.... 

The middle east is a never-ending flow of loyalties, and to maintain their position Iran had to have a response to Israel, so they were more or less locked into this.  BUT.....Israel knew this was going to happen, they have something lined up for the Iranians already, I know the name of the op....but thats all i know.

The US carried out a round of strikes in Yemen against the Iran-backed Houthis on Wednesday evening, according to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, targeting five underground weapons storage facilities using B-2 stealth bombers.

The facilities, three US defense officials told CNN following the attack, housed advanced conventional weapons used to target military and civilian vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

“This was a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified,” Austin said in a statement. “The employment of US Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate U.S. global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere.”

A great achievement, although I presume that the Leftist pro-terrorist faction will claim that some "innocent" stubbed a toe and that this makes the operation OPPRESSIVE%$#@!

Now would be a great time for the US to go to Iran and say "here's the deal, you have 24 hours to have Hamas release all of the hostages, otherwise we'll unleash Israel to destroy all of your nuclear capabilities and airfields.  We'll check back in 24 hours, OK bye!"

But we won't.  Because our country is being run by... nobody knows who, but people who won't agree to it.

Kamala, change!

Fock that guy. Hopefully it was painful.

[Gepetto 1,192]

The Israeli military has released video that it says shows Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s final moments.

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari played the video in a news briefing on Thursday.

The edited clip shows a drone going into a damaged building where a person — who the IDF says is Sinwar — can be seen sitting on a chair. The figure’s body is positioned away from the drone, but they appear to be looking toward the unmanned craft. The person’s face is obscured and they appear to be sitting alone.

Hagari said Sinwar had been shot in his hand, as the edited IDF video points to his hand.

The drone video shows the figure holding what the IDF highlights as a piece of wood, which the person lobs in the direction of the drone.

Israel says a drone later discovered Sinwar’s body in the rubble of the building, which was struck by an Israeli tank on Wednesday. Only after sending in soldiers on foot did the Israeli military identify the man as Hamas’ leader.

So they found ID on one of Sinwar's bodyguards who was killed along with him.  You'll never guess who the guy worked for?  Yup.  U.N. employee.  That organization is so focking corrupt.  Makes me sick.  Throw them out of New York and quit it.

Ariane Tabatabai, an academic turned State Department and Pentagon official. She was part of the now-infamous Iran Experts Initiative — a program used by Tehran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to cultivate relationships with foreign academics who could carry water for the regime.

At one point, according to reporting from Semafor, which revealed the program’s existence, Tabatabai opted to skip a conference in Israel after an Iranian official instructed her not to go. She also consulted with this same Iranian official regarding how she should testify in hearings before Congress. Her job today (October 22, 2024) — chief of staff to the Pentagon official who oversees special operations.

Yeah, there’s no enemy within. Anyone that has anything to do with Obama needs to be purged from our government.

the difference with Israel vs Ukraine is that Israel is an ACTUAL ally

I dont support funding any of them fwiw

Israel doesn't even need the US' help with Hamas.  Hopefully he doesn't find anything with that conflict.

I'm sure Biden will take credit, or already has, but it's Israel's military strength and direct hits on Hezbollah inside Lebanon destroying most of their missile arsenal that led to this planned permanent ceasefire.

Iran gave them the word to agree. They know what happens in January and are going back in their hole.

Now, there is MUCH more at play here than we know at this time.  There is another shoe to drop, and I think any rational person could probably guess what is next.....

BUT, there is stuff brewing right now in Africa and interestingly it correlates to the impeachment pursuits against Biden.  Biden might be the most corrupt political player in all of history.....for any nation....this guy has his tentacles into everything.....oh and venezuela too....

Just wanted to note this one as well, since everyone likes to try to laugh when I tell you things, only for those things to become truth later.....

There is a reason Biden had to rush to Africa, there was a big problem that had to be sewn up.....and from what I am hearing its not sewn up.....

Biden is the most corrupt politician in global history

This is why you're a clown.  Biden could be corrupt, probably is, but to say something so outlandish with zero evidence just makes you look like a lunatic.   Might want to tone down the rhetoric if you want to have any credibility.  HTH.
