Yes. There are 450 mi of tunnels according to Hamas in an area only 25 mi. wide.

It’s the most advanced tunnel warfare system in the world. It has been under construction in various forms and stages since the '50s. It was built with money from Iran, North Korea, Qatar, and other beacons of human and civil rights. It is hopelessly intertwined with Gaza’s water and electrical systems. It’s the crowning achievement of gaza’s current government.

It represents all of gaza’s lost. Hope. Gaza would be balls deep in food right now cuz maybe they spent money on highways instead of tunnels. If maybe they spent money on ports instead of tunnels. Maybe if they had used their international relations for trade and diplomacy, instead of terror financing and tunneling.

But also due probability, I simply trust the IDF explanation about a million more times than I trust the explanation of anyone who supports Hamas’s ideology. It’s not only an ideology of violent radicalism, it is also an ideology of a lying and propaganda. According to them, nobody is a terrorist And no buildings are connected to tunnels, every building is a hospital or mosque or home for orphans, and every person is an innocent child.

I’m very sure that Israel has some liars in charge right now. I simply trust the liars from the democracy more than the liars from the fascist religious ethno State, the sole function of which is to proliferate anti-jewish terrorism.

I don’t know that this particular building had a tunnel under it. Neither does anyone else here.

Oh boohoo, my team didn’t win everything it wanted so I’m going to take my ball and go home.

Still by far the most progressive president in my lifetime.

The other factor is that the incumbent lost in 2020, to the 2024 incumbent.

Like wtf. People saying he can’t do it. He already did it once.

Grow up.

This is why the right came for Chevron, they can buy Congress. Much harder to buy a whole agency.

Before Chevron there was Skidmore Deference, and they came for that.

Maybe I should have said they’ve been coming for all deference. Or ~50 years, for the pedants.

Ideological successors. Agree with your post.

They’ve been coming for Chevron for at least 50 years, but they also fight regulation at every turn.

Maybe he just knows more than you about this, and you’re the one that’s got it wrong.

Well he’s had the KGB in Russian mining oligarchs looking out for him for the last 40 years.

Or maybe you’re just wrong about the calculus.

What is this neofascist fan fiction?

Biden beat Trump once and he can beat Trump again.

Long term investment. Same as in Israel. Trying to save democracies from annihilation.

Probability.

UNRWA is basically a coconspirator to Hamas. It’s the largest employer in Gaza. Hamas is the largest political bloc. It’s simple math.

Look at UNRWA’s own literature, promoting martyrdom as a way of life (and death) to kids.

You’re content to condemn how many more generations to such hopelessness and corruption?

They are targeting tunnels and terrorists, not water.

Yeah I broke your nose, but why are you ignoring the 205 bones I didn’t break? Hopefully you can see how stupid a thing this is to say.

That is stupid. Also not what I said.

You made the claim that the aid workers are being targeted.

The analogy would be that I broke one bone by accident and you then wildly accused me having desired to break them all.

It’s not Open season. Nice try though. The bombings are actually very discriminate. The evacuations and warnings are very coordinated.

If they get ignored, that’s not on Israel.

No?

No, it doesn’t make sense. Hamas is well fed. It’s the people of Gaza who have been starving for decades while Hamas lives it up, spends all their money on everything other than food (but mostly just terrorism).

Yeah you were about to respond but then you didn’t but you did really.

Only one clueless here is you.
