Are you using "historically" to discuss Roman times? Or pre-Civil War?

Hamas isnt really supported by Iran which is shia


Historically Iran has funded Palestinian terrorism while having its opposition leaders living in Damascus, far from the Israeli conflicts.

tf is Iran international??

Also Iran isnt capable of supporting them- there are no airports in Gaza , there is an israeli sea blockade as well- So how is Iran funnelling as the big brains on tiger droppings claim “$6Bn” worth of Material to a group whose only access for weapons are a few crudely dug tunnels in the sinai desert connecting Egypt (US Ally) and Gaza

Well, as of the mid 19th century, Sunnis comprised a little over 15% of the population, which was probably around the average going back through the Ottoman period. I’m not arguing that they were ever a majority, but to act as if they weren’t there in any significant number is just wrong.

Why can’t the US force able bodied prisoners between the ages of 18-25 into basic training then send them into situations like this?

They are locked up getting 3 hots and a cot as it is, why not let them go do the things they’re good at

It’s almost universally thought that Iran is funding them. Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism for many years.

Every 5 years or so for 50 years

1) someone feels froggy and surprise attacks Israel
2) world panics
3) Israel strategically and methodically retaliates
4) Israel quickly gains upper hand and begins to pound its opponent, causing civil casualties
5) UN declares humanitarian crisis
6) Russia and allies threaten Israel to stop pounding on opponent
7) US asks Israel to stop
8) Israel finally stops
9) 4-5 years go by rinse and repeat


Pretty much.

Israel is going to kick the crap out of all involved , including Iran. They have been looking for a reason to take out some frustration on the Shias and this will be their excuse. The world will cry in 2-3 months when Israel is relentlessly pounding the crap out of someone. The only good thing here is that it’s Hamas/Shias involved. The Sunnis won’t care much as long as Israel doesn’t accidentally bomb a sunni group or religious location.


You lost me here. Hamas is Sunni. Iran is Shia. Gaza is weird in that Shia governments provide support for Sunni terrorism. Kind of an enemy of my enemy is my friend thing. As someone else said, Iran uses Hamas as their cannon fodder to annoy Israel.

Well, first I’d say that the Druze have been “influential”, but of course that’s not what I argued. Don’t move the goalposts, I’m not interested in that.

This is on Biden. He should have never given Iran 6 billion dollars. And if you don’t think Iran isn’t behind this, you’re a fool

The US isn't getting involved in this. Israel can handle this just fine (although we do subsidize that ability)
