Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
Where do you guys see me hardlining for Israel other than pointing out what their objective circumstances are?
I'm tired of a lot of middle east countries resorting to the stuff they do (primarily terrorism)
Too many of you guys think I'm shilling for Israel when i actually just cannot stand a lot of middle eastern governance and terrorism
I have yet to see a lot of people criticize the terrorism in the region.
They could have released the hostages and found other ways of handling whatever problems they have with their neighbor
No prospects
Meanwhile their leaders in Hamas live in high rises and half the time they are in Qatar or some wealthy location that isn't even on that strip
Hamas keeps their own people poor.
Should probably look at who was running that place
Also, there were so many people putting their energy into protesting Israel, countless news stations and celebrities were against it. Why didn't they put their energy into trying to make Gaza a better place?
Seems like a lot of solutions seem to just go completely ignored, almost like it's because people just want to see rockets fly past human shields
Not allowed out
In large part because when their muslim neighbors took in Palestinians they experienced a sharp rise in terrorism and uprising and had to either kill or relocate them back. Their neighbors don't want them in their land.
The way they could have gotten sympathy was by not electing Hamas, giving Hamas an 80% approval rating, and cheering over 10/7
Hamas does almost nothing but steal aid from Palestinians and fire rockets at Israel
Sounds like there are a lot of alternative solutions to this problem. Isreal did more to help Palestinians by wiping out Hamas than Hamas ever did for Palestinians
Artificial intelligence is now going out of its way to reinforce REAL STUPIDITY.
Unskippable Google AI ad. Woman dressed in too-nice clothes looking down at toilet tank hardware laid out on a tile floor. "Hey, Google, how do all these parts work together?" This is obviously the wrong question; the right one being, "How to install these parts" or even better, unfolding the damn paper that comes in the box with pictures and step by step instructions how to install them. Only by virtue of being inside the same toilet tank do the fill valve and flapper "work together" and this dumb bitch won't understand any of the hows and whys even after muddling through the job. Still, the ad ends with her dancing out of her $50,000 dollar bathroom like a TikTok short.
Next ad in this campaign, a guy brushing up on his rambling stream of consciousness woman emulation game. "Hey, Google- what's the best time this weekend to host a barbecue, and what's a dish I won't have to stand next to the grill the whole time?" Fuck it, I just closed the browser rather than endure another 2s of this retardation-amplification.
Read More@First-light Israel runs tightly refined DARVO game at the Nation-State level. Sad that virtually all of the older/stronger/"better" nation states of the world default to playing right into it.
I mean, Mossad and AIPAC successfully embedded their tentacles into the highest levels of US Government, strongly compelling or incentivizing pro-Israel choices at every important step. But, average citizens are free to think and do as they please, yet so many of them default to going all-in on the Hasbara account of events without ever spending a moment's thought on the merits of alternative explanations and pathways.
All they had to do was release the hostages
For a community whose FOUNDATIONAL principles include seeing through manipulative cultural narratives, groupthink, avoidance of "getting cucked", etc,
It always amazes me to see how quickly the whole lot of it gets chucked right out the window when it comes to Israel, and also MAGA.
@Vermillion-Rx It was a bad calculation but sometimes I think people just have to do such things. They were being gravely mistreated by Israel and slowly ethnically cleansed. Sometimes when you are in a hard spot you fight and see if it can change anything or you perish slowly anyway.
It must be terrible raising kids in that tiny patch of land knowing you are a second class human and not allowed out. Aside from the aid industry there is very little industry or prospects. What are you living for -to be contained and slowly pushed out while the rest of the world is living in a golden age of freedom (probably an ending golden age but still its better than historical averages).
I think they were not calculating on loss of life but on making a statement that they hoped the world heard and that their suffering when punished might attract some sympathy.
