Israel is very easy to strategically defeat: Sustained, cheap rockets fired for a long time from various locations. Hezbollah already showed a template for that in 2006. It is almost useless to talk about tanks or F16s in conflicts against Israel. Indeed, Hezbollah won by not losing and so can...

Democrats are hypocrites and war-mongers. Republicans are even more war-mongers but not quite as hypocrites. However, there is a fringe group in the American Right which is trying to take America to its intrinsic isolationism. There is no easy answer to your question. CIA Analyst Larry Johnson...

A prisoner swap without credible guarantees against a resumption of the Israeli attack to finish off Gaza is death sentence against Gazans. So far, Israelis have not used chemical weapons or some other special weapons against the tunnel systems because of the presence of the hostages. Once...

I believe all the leaders in the Islamic world--even the GCC Arab countries, Egypt, Turkey etc etc have been begging Americans for a ceasefire. But Netanyahu $bitchslapped Blinken for even a 'Humanitarian Pause' which was an earnest American request. Americans don't want to enter a destructive...

West Bank Palestinians are effectively living in a Bantustan already; they can barely hold on to their own houses and orchards. Negev small communities are zero factor. Gazans are able to fight because of their border with Egypt and geographic contiguity inside Gaza. Hezbollah can fight but...

I don't think many people, including you, realize that Gazans are not fighting for Gaza, they are fighting for the Palestinian cause and Muslim Holy places and the imprisoned Palestinians in the West Bank. Otherwise, Gazans don't have to live in the Open Air Prison environment and I think...

No, USA is NOT at its peak! Had it been then Blinken wouldn't be physically going to these Arab countries again and again, asking them to try to find a way out to 'contain' this war which, if becomes a regional war, will not only destroy Israel but will also be extremely damaging to the American...

Nonsense! What will destroying Egypt give to Israel?? Yes, it would be a huge disaster for Egypt but no gain for Israel--on the contrary, even the western borders of Egypt will be too hot, as if Gaza is not hot enough. Israel couldn't hold on to south Lebanon in the 1980s and Gaza in the early...

When there is an awakening in America, there will be a global awakening. There is already a big awakening in the Global South but not enough in Europe; Europe is basically America's vassal and European tune will change about this conflict when America changes its policy. You can count on that...

No, if and when Hezbollah truly enters this war, we will all know then. Tel Aviv will burn in a big way. Iron dome is mostly/all depleted, depending on the regions in Israel. But for sure, Hezbollah is keeping the pot boiling with ever slightly more heat, while there is intense diplomacy going...

Yes, ideally, Israelis would like ALL Gazans to be gone. It is prime real estate and more safety for Israelis. But 'the few' won't matter if they remain--look at Negev and its a few bedouin communities. But you and most of the world under estimate something about Palestinians: They, including...

All hostages freed in exchange for deployment of neutral forces in various places in Gaza. If all hostages are released then Israel would truly bomb and bomb and bomb until the bombs run out. The hostages are the Gazans' trump card and that's why they took them, even if they had to use...

You need to calm down a bit and recognize your friends from your foes. You seem to be constantly attacking people who, while they are still on your side, have a little different opinion about the history of this conflict and the ongoing events. Coming to what you quoted: I don't think Israel...

The two Tweets are very interesting in the sense that if you are out of your house, perhaps to enjoy nice Med. Sea breeze on a weekend night, you wouldn't want to be looking at the sky for some incoming rockets even if those 100% of those rockets would be shot down. You wouldn't want to be...

For all the faults in America, it is a far more free country then continental Europeans. I have much more respect for the UK society though. It seems tyranny is deep inside Europeans and the first time I notice that was barely 2-3 years ago during the global Covid crisis.

Good to read that. Your mother is part of the global awakening and I believe if this conflict continues then we will have never seen something like this awakening since the Iraq War of 2003, if not the Vietnam War. It is to be noted that some of us in this thread took an early moral stand! We...

As I posted above, yesterday NY Times' front page had an article that Israeli supporters are going to Fox News to find 'solace' because Israel is taking such a beating in even many American MSM. And here is a very important related observation: America is so politically divided right now then...

Infantry?? Hahaha! They don't want to be inside one of the most fortified tanks in the world in the first place. You see: When you can hop on a flight to NYC or London or Berlin and enjoy a cushy life there then why die for a 'cause' which is taking a huge beating globally? But Gazans need...

Wow! Incredible footage! I mean after taking all those hits, the Gazans are still able to fight like that. Tells you they are fighting for their homes and their homeland, which is a far cry from the Israelis leaving in droves from the Tel Aviv airport within hours of the October 7 conflict...

I think both you and the @OldenWisdom...قول بزرگ misread my post which you both quoted: I had clearly said 'Israelis' are counting on some events to happen.
