    Yeah, the SEAL team that is absolutely not aboard while Hamas is potentially holding American citizens is a complete coincidence.

    Edit: Hezbollah is not Hamas. My brain knew what I meant, my fingers did other shit.

        Its not confirmed or denied by any party yet if Hamas has any US hostages but 22 US citizens are dead and 17 unaccounted for.

          I mean, Hamas has, probably. But the original post is Hezbollah hollering. Thoser are two different organisations.

            Yes, they are and I do know that but Ill be honest, so much of the stuff coming through my feed is Israel and Palestine that my brain just switched tracks on me. I didnt notice until you pointed it out.

                I meant to type “They’re” not “You’re” in the original post, then I thought “Oooooh something shiny” and just posted it.

                  So, does this account belong to Vern Miyagi or the employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency?

    I don’t care if this is an emotional support aircraft carrier, it can’t come into the store.

    Until it takes action, it is an emotional support carrier. It’s a strategem straight from the age of gunship diplomacy.

    The point of the carrier (if a I understand the White House’s intent here — I may not) is to discourage other national interests from jumping into the fray on Hezbollah’s side to escalate the fight.

    Here’s the thing Hezbollah (the organized movement) wants the conflict to escalate, they want Israel to pepper the strip with old cluster bombs and fuel-air bombs. They would love nothing more than to successfully provoke the US to bring (as Trump once put it) fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.

    While they sacrifice a few troops, it will mean hundreds, if not thousands of civilian casualties along the strip, maybe some collateral bodies as well, caused by the iron hand of western imperialist nations.

    Israel may be glad for every dead Palestinian, but to the rest of the world, it’s unconscionable horror. And if we all brush it off, it will show to all how callous and inhumanly cold western society has made us all. But no, rather, public support of Israel and the United States would plummet. It is the best hope of Palestine to get some intervention while Israel engages in quiet genocide.

    This is centuries-old counterinsurgency 101 stuff, but that means recognizing the smaller faction are actual human beings, worthy of personhood and rights. And the state of Israel will not accept this (even as its people do).

    Why make a post if it’s not a big deal? Sounds like the US is living rent free in their head…
