Israel - A Rant

[Bruce Spanner]

My wife was just on a Zoom call to a Lebanese friend, about ten minutes in she had to run and shelter in place as bombs started to fall.

 

Fuck Israel and whatever made up bullshit sky wizard they believe in.

 

Cunts.

My wife had a similar experience on a work call last week, on a Teams call with some project people in Lebanon and they all had to dial off and go for shelter.

 

I don’t claim to know much about all this, so this is a rather ill-informed opinion, the west (ie US, UK, France, Germany etc) don’t seem to have done nearly enough to stop this.
 

I know why Israel retaliated initially, Israel’s behaviour was waaaaaay past retaliation and became inhumane before Christmas and it’s not got any better. 
 

The scariest thing now is, where will it end? If Iran keeps going v Israel, I can’t see the US & UK not intervening.

Not going to check the doomsday clock.

It was Hamas that retaliated. Israel just ramped up what they were doing anyway

Well, yeah, I get what you mean.

Fuck sake. Liverpool must be top of the league or something.

Some footage online of missiles hitting Tel Aviv. The Israeli government has to ask themselves is it worth it to see their own citizens facing what they’ve unnecessarily handed out. Maybe now those on the west who’ve tacitly encouraged them will try to apply some stronger brakes.

Oh, it’ll be on if they do much damage rather than all get shot down and land in a field. Israel aren’t fucking about, and they have big boy weapons.

Fucking hell as much as I want the IDF blown to pieces for what they’ve done, that’s not nice to see at all. How are that many getting through????? Am I a cynic for thinking the IDF might have deliberately unplugged their defence for some footage they can use to justify more innocent civilian deaths?

Aah ok military targets. I’m sure that’s what will be widely reported 

[Planet Origi]

Rattled

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I believe that the Iron Dome has technology that means it won’t intercept rockets/missiles which have a trajectory that will impact with open, unpopulated land. 
 

You’d imagine that a lot of the impact footage shows strikes in open land, unless the system has been overwhelmed by the volume of rockets. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Don’t forget, when viewing some of the videos, the Iron Dome can let certain missiles through if they aren’t going to hit a populated area. Some will hit though, of course.

Two schools of thought. Either it’s a military target that’s not protected by Iron Dome, or it’s some farmer’s fields which aren’t protected by Iron Dome. 

[Anubis]

Anyway, all I know is I’m too old and too unfit for a military call-up, so it only remains for me to wish the rest of you Godspeed and thank you for your service.

[Jurgen Knows]

Theatrics.

Al Jazeera have got some US weapons expert talking about it prioritising targets so these images are essentially showing rockets miss civilian population. This could just be (and I hope it is) a show of strength. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

As expected, much of nothing.

180+ balistic missiles, most been shot down.

[Bjornebye]

Stopped now. Just a show of strength/warning.
