This is the first time I see this happening to the settlers, they are usually the perpetrators. The Palestinians of the West bank must step it up. Fatah's bullshit isn't working.
This sounds like the phenomenon where any tiny unrelated issue with a plane is scrutinized by the media after an accident, even if these minor issues are common. I have no idea if this issue is serious, but I wouldn't assume it is until we get more info.
A crack formed on the outermost of 4 layers. It's within spec but should've been caught on inspection. This is a bad look for ANA's inspection team (which might be Boeing? I'm not sure), but not a manufacturing defect afaik.
Israeli forces killed three Palestinians who were armed with knives, a rifle and axes and were trying to break into a settlement in the occupied West Bank overnight between Friday and Saturday, the Israeli military said.
So...
The people from the country that legally control that land...
Broke into a "settlement" by another country that has no legal claim to that land?
This is like trying to frame the French resistance as the bad guys because the nazis totally called dibs on Paris...
Their extremists honestly think they're the victims and everyone should be on their side. And if anyone doesn't support them stealing land, the only possible reason could be antisemitism
It's what happens when you stop thinking of people from a different racial/ethnic/religious group as human.
My best guess would be they need them to defend themselves against oppression, similar to how someone in Ukraine might need them to defend themselves from Russia.
But you're right that axes are probably not enough to stop Israel.
What do you think the French resistance used to fight off Nazi invaders?
Kind words and warm baguettes?
The "settlers" often have armed IDF escorts when they take the land. And considering the IDF was still there, that might have only been hours earlier.
And that's not getting into how even as bad as this sounds...
The only thing we know is what IDF and the "settlers" say. They could have made up any story and what they're saying still makes them the obvious villains in the story.
They might have just walked up, executed these Palestinians, and then thrown some hand tools around them and cried victim.
That shit happens.
In 2024 why are you taking the word of "settlers" with no legal right to where they're settling?
Or the foreign military who have no reason to be in that foreign country to begin with except to help steal the land?
There's no justification for them to even be there.
The French Resistance wasn't stupid enough to take on an armed encampment. Then again, these were stupid kids. And it goes on. Missles still fly into Israel. Raids like this still happen.
If someone showed up to your house with a foreign government's military. And they said they're taking all your belongings and to fuck off or they'll kill you.
How many times would you start a new life from nothing before fighting back?
Would you eventually just lay down and die instead of starting over? Or do you think eventually the foreign military will kill you first if you don't put your hands up fast enough?
What would you do in their shoes if this was such a terrible plan?
If we drop all political considerations, indiscriminately fucking with international trade routes is sure to get your ass kicked. Right or wrong don't matter. Call it terrorism or piracy or whatever you like, it ain't gonna fly.
Except you can't drop all political considerations and you sure as hell can't call this trade route debacle indiscriminate fucking. They specifically attacked this route because they suspect it supplies israel too.
They're literally not, though. The Houthis have been indiscriminately attacking ships passing through the area, which is largely used for passage through the Suez Canal - the only alternative being making a trip all the way around Africa.
The Houthis are indiscriminately attacking ships that are not Israeli-owned, flying the Israeli flag, or going to dock at Israel. Of the ships attacked, only a small minority have any connection to Israel at all. So you're just choosing to ignore reality. Okay. Good talk.
This is exceptionally easy to disprove with a five second Google search. Some of the container ships that were most recently attacked had panama and Japan flags. Please learn to think and read before spouting nonsense. What the houthi are doing is indiscernible from piracy
There's a broader point here that everyone seems to be missing, which is that the role of president didn't have the authority to do things like this historically. It's not about it being R or D, or if it's moral and justified 'this time'. It's that we've ceded a power to the executive which should be in the legislative branch.
I would really ask you to listen/ watch the debate I posted.
The Trump administration has carried out 176 strikes in Yemen in just two years, compared with 154 there during all eight years of Obama’s tenure, according to a count by The Associated Press and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
People can cry all they want, but it’s the US who gave the excuse to Houthi, I think they should first stop their genocide before accusing others of terrorism, leave that to more respectful countries
