You were concern trolling about Palestinians killing and torturing people, so I throw your way the stats about civilian deaths of the conflict. Israel kills and tortures about 20x more people. Israeli settlers who are illegal under international law, arm themselves and act as vigilante groups in...

Nobody's been giving any money to Hamas. This is just good ole European aesthetical posturing.

You replied too fast, you didn't even have the time to skip through the graphs. If you're trying to be intentionally obtuse, no one can change that, that's for sure. The graphs are mostly comprised of data from Israeli government btw, because that's the only source of info for that part of the...

You should never let the media you consume determine how you think. And you shouldn't consume media from one side only. This is the problem I see in many Western populations in the Ukraine-Russia war. https://www.amnestyusa.org/campaigns/end-apartheid/ If South Koreans were living under...

Apparently the number of hostages is quite high and scattered around Gaza, so any kind of indiscriminate air raid might hurt Israelis as well. If this is the case, then Hamas have done their homework quite well putting Israel in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation; making a...

We should have tried to create a group to rival both PLO and Hamas, as PLO are seen as traitors and Hamas as strategically blind (by a lot of Palestinians) or terrorists (by West), long time ago to be able to have leverage and pressure in this situation. But that requires your state apparatus to...

IRGC Quds Force commanders are in constant contact with Hamas leaders in Syria, Lebanon and Qatar. The level of cooperation is pretty high. Quds force has missile development education facilities in Lebanon for Hamas forces. If Hamas knows ins and outs of Israeli positions, then Quds force knows...

That's not how it works. If it was how it worked no western country would "spend political capital" to help Israel, because Israel does much worse on a daily basis.

Yes, that's a possibility. It would probably also increase his votes as people everywhere around the world work based on hype and blind emotional reactions.

As I said they probably know that's what Hamas and Iran want to disrupt the Abraham accords and the trilateral Saudi-U.S.-Israel deal.

I'm not sure; I predict a much more muted response than many predict, if the Israeli state apparatus has any wisdom left that is. Netanyahu can rally his base by preaching to the choir, but that would disrupt their strategic plans they've been working towards for years.

Iran hopes Israel throws away the Abraham accords with his own hands with a disproportionate (Dahiya) response. Abraham accords is just another name for a prelude to a war against Iran. The method Hamas used to start the clashes might make it hard to characterize any Israeli response as...

It seemed like Saudis were close to the trilateral deal with Israel and U.S. The original proposition by Saudis in return for recognizing Israel was both getting a security guarantee from U.S. but also commencement of steps towards a Palestinian state. Seemed like they had to backtrack on the...

Found this gem. IRGC supports PKK, our government has banned South Azerbaijan political activists and tv channels from entering Turkey on Iran's request. In this relation, Iran has all the leverage and we have nothing. This meekness is shameful.

I think downing a couple U.S. drones might be in order. It's only fair, it will be a threat for our troops, I can speculate right now even.

I have to succumb to my prejudices here but people who cite Sowell and Quigley are of quite well-known disposition. They are similar to those who read Ayn Rand when they're 14 and think they've figured out the world. Suggesting that communists have power over a U.S. deep state when the same...

Reality is like a billion piece puzzle. You read a couple of books and it gives you pieces about a certain part of reality. You put them together and it looks like a lamb in the meadow. You're like "ah, I got it". It's about a meadow, it will probably have flowers and trees and clear sky in...

Nobody can accuse me of naivete in regards to the West though. I'm steeped in books and resources on clandestine plans, intelligence operations, etc. by Western countries. For example the French government was helping its timber import companies pay bribes to terrorist groups in Central African...

Well, as you may very well know power structures don't have brains so they can't think. What you might mean by that is long-term plans and strategies of the institutions. They are also determined by people. And those people also follow the zeitgeist and are influenced by culture at large. As...

Every "enemy" can be turned into a neutral or friendly position by smart image-management and business relations or other methods of propaganda, on a public opinion level. I hate the essentialist outlook of "they hate us because of who we are and this will always be like this". They may say they...
