I really don’t see… …why someone with Chinese roots would do it

Tankies hate the West. Psychotic nationalists are capable of all sorts of dumb.

I think the way most Germans have owned the mistakes of Germany past, instead of trying to deny or ignore them, is an example that should be applauded and emulated by the rest of the world.

Hamas kidnapped some American citizens and is holding them in Gaza. The US would likely prefer to attempt any rescue themselves or at least assist in any attempts.

Because Hamas kidnapped some American citizens and is holding them in Gaza. The US would likely prefer to attempt any rescue themselves or at least assist in any attempts.

Apparently I get my world news from the history books, here’s a few examples you can look up:

• 1967 Israel takes control of the entire Sinai Peninsula

• 1971 Israel returns Sinai Peninsula to Egypt

• 1982 Israel invades Lebanon after attacks from militants

• 1983 - 1985 Israel slowly withdraws from most of southern Lebanon

• 2000 Israeli completes withdrawal from Lebanon

• 2005 Israel withdraws all military and civilians from the Gaza Strip and hands over control to the Palestinian Authority

• 2007 Hamas violently overthrew the PA in Gaza (bet you didn’t cry about this)

• 2023 Israel withdraws from Jenin in the West Bank after invading

Never claimed otherwise. In fact, I literally mentioned Israel stealing land when I wrote:

their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.

I guess that was too abstract?

You think Israel will just stop and leave the Southern half?

Even if they did, they’re keeping the northern part and annexing it.

I’m opposed to what Israel is doing but the truth is that Israel has repeatedly given back land they have captured during conflicts. So yes, they will not be annexing any land. As well, there is way too much international attention on them right now, whereas their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.

The thing I don’t understand about this invasion is what’s stopping Hamas from just relocating south with the rest of the Palestinians? Sure they’ll lose some heavier equipment that might be hard to move but they don’t have that much of it to begin with. If they stay and fight they’ll lose the equipment anyways, and only end up getting killed. Whereas if they leave with the civilians, then Israel will look stupid after invading Gaza only to find nothing. Huge failure for them.

I totally agree. I think a separate internationally recognized Palestinian state is the only solution to keep Israel from encroaching on any more land than they have. That’s been offered in the past but turned down by the Palestinians. A separate Palestinian state will also not prevent both sides from firing rockets at each other until the end of time.

Great points, but that doesn’t stop Egypt from allowing food, water, humanitarian aid, etc from being brought into Gaza, but people talk like Israel has 100% control over Gaza’s borders.

Besides, if Gaza and the West Bank were officially the state of Palestine, Israel would have no obligation to allow free passage between Israel and Palestine so it would basically be the same as it is now, although I’m assuming that right now there is also a naval blockade.

Palestinian Iranian backed militants have a history of establishing enclaves and starting civil wars within the countries that host them. because of this history.

FTFY

Gotta love how everyone calls Gaza an “open air prison” then go on to blame Israel, totally disregarding the fact that Gaza’s southern border is with Egypt.

You obviously don’t know what you are talking about.

China embarks on production of a new generation of nuclear-armed submarines that for the first time are expected to pose a challenge to growing U.S. and allied efforts to track them. not sink themselves

FTFY

You know after WW2 in like 1947 (or 48?), prior to to the birth of Israel, the UN drafted a plan to divide what is now modern day Israel into two states; one for the Jewish inhabitants and one for the Palestinians, PLUS Jerusalem was to be a UN controlled international city. The Jewish community accepted the offer, the Palestinians turned it down because they wanted Jerusalem all to themselves as well as wanting all the Jews dead (them and the rest of the Arab world).

So yeah, the Palestinians could have been celebrating like the 75th anniversary of their own state by now had they not been so full of hate.

That of course is no excuse for Israeli apartheid. Both sides are assholes.

Unfortunately there will still be too many MANPADs to deal with, but F-16s will definitely help.

You jest now but that’s only because you’re not staring down the barrel of a T64 that’s run out of gas because the crew sold their reserves on the black market for vodka.

I agree with your comments, but I meant mine in an uno reverse kinda way, in that the Iranian government are the dangerous radicals.

the populace are not the radicals
