Israel vs. Iran And Proxies: War Discussion Master Thread

[aygart]

This is a micro aggression

Only micro?

[CountValentine]

If you’re sending hamas money which gets used to kill Israelis then yes, you’re pro-hamas. I’m sorry if that hurts anyones feelings.

As an American that supports Israel it actually does bother me to see negativity towards the US when they have been behind Israel 99.999%. The right-wing already made claims the 6b was used to fund this Hamas attack. All you are doing is adding to that narrative.

[smurf]

I agree. The expectation for everyone to condemn every injustice is ridiculous.

Pardon the interruption,  perhaps this thread could use a laugh (NSFW)

I won’t be sucked into this nonsense. Sorry to disappoint you.

If would be much appreciated if your direct your posts at those who deserve it and not lump everyone together.

From the article, quoting the union:

Starbucks is seeking to exploit the ongoing tragedy in the Middle East to bolster the company’s anti-union campaign

Ironic considering the union (or whomever posts on their twitter) is trying to exploit the Starbucks branding to promote their perspectives on the ongoing tragedy in the Middle East. If they stuck to posting union-related things there wouldn’t be a lawsuit.

The Senator who only has a few working brain cells (bravely) proves that it clearly doesn't take a lot of brain cells to distinguish between right and wrong here:

not sure if this should be its own thread; has such a *worldwide* warning ever been released before?

Worldwide Caution

Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.  U.S. citizens should:

Zelenskyy has struggled with this as well, to his country's determent in some respects (see here: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/biden-lost-temper-zelenskyy-phone-call-ukraine-aid-rcna54592)

Countries that are threatened (Israel no exception) need to do two separate things:
1. Convince as many as possible to join its cause often by presenting their case forcefully
2. Work productively with those that have joined its cause, and certainly not alienate them

If done with clear thinking, both are possible. It is our responsibility to speak up but not push away those (in this case most major western democracies) that on a whole have shown overwhelming support.

I already stated

Any nations not involved in these are not included in my statement.

yet you keep trying to insert the US into it.
 Are you trying to imply that the US is funding terrorism ? I hope not.

That is like a squad disclaimer.

This is what shocks me most about the Islamic Jihad caused al-Ahli Hopital tragedy.

One rocket killed what seems to be 250-500 people.

Hamas & Islamic Jihad have targeted civilians and fired over 4,500 rockets at Israel in the past week.

Every single one of those rockets has the power to kill up to 500 civilians.

That means they have fired rockets capable of killing 2,250,000 civilians.

And here is the kicker for me, if they succeded in that, they would be CELEBRATING in the streets!

There would be parties around the world calling Hamas heroes and how justified it was, just like we have seen after they slaughtered 1,400 Israelis.

Let that sink in. If Hamas was able to kill 2 million Israelis, they would be celebrating, cracking open champagne, and declaring victory.

Hamas=Nazis.

Any opinions on tweeting this from the DD twitter account?

It really disturbs me, I haven't see anyone talking about this aspect of it.
