This whole story sounds like bullshite. These little drones are slow. If Israeli snipers and soldiers can't shoot them down, then they deserve to be attacked for their incompetence. To do any real damage, you would need a drone that needs a runway to take off. If Israel isn't monitoring the couple of places this can happen in Gaza, they again deserve to be attacked for their incompetence. This story just makes no sense.
Uhhh no. Your typical mobile radar dish can be taken out with a fragmentation grenade. The Iron done requires a very sophisticated radar system to direct each missile close enough to the rocket or projectile for the missile itself to then track and close in on the target. If these drones deployed by Hamas are similar to the ones used by Hezbollah in Syria then they have a warhead similar to a mortar round which is more than enough to incapacitate the Iron Dome battery or radar with an accurate hit. Suggesting that these drones should be knocked out by infantry with standard issue rifles or sniper rifles is silly.

It isn’t working though. It’s making their security situation worse.
Indeed. The offensive military technology that is now available to rebellious factions is just incredible and scary. At some point Israel is going to get hit hard and the people truly behind it will have plausible deniability. I doubt Iran really cares about the people of Palestine. They're pawns.

The invasion of Lebanon
I heard some crazy stories about it. Most people in Lebanon did not want the PLO there in the first place.

srael funded Hamas in the 80s. It was part of a clever plot to divide and weaken the PLO. The Israelis are always doing moronic things like that though. Look at how they supported Sunni Jihadists in Syria. They just can’t get out of their own way.
Nah, the Jews in Israel are clever indeed. They distract from their Apartheid system by maintaining conflict with the Palestinians which keeps the majority Arabs from wrestling control of Israel. Since the dawn of civilization those who rule over the commoners use various methods of distraction to control the masses. They are in control for a reason.

I don’t recall Hamas and Israel fighting much when Trump was in office. Of course it was a continuous news cycle of Russia. Why is Hamas emboldened now? Maybe I missed it and they were more active than before but it seemed the ME was becoming more peaceful until now. Maybe Hamas is testing this admin out to see who we support or if we care etc. Biden would be dumb not to follow Trumps policy there.

It makes my head hurt.
They were greeted as genuine liberators, but they couldn’t leave well enough alone, and stayed in Lebanon. When the locals realized it was a permanent occupation, the mood changed. They believed correctly, that Israel would try and annex the region.
Technology has really shifted the balance of power to the insurgent.
With that said, my first worry would be a massive and sustained rocket barrage from Hezbollah. That would destroy Israel as we know it.

There’s no way Hamas is using conventional ground forces to take out the Iron Dome.

Palestinian doesn’t exist as a place. Did you visit refugee camps the Syrians set up because they don’t the Palestinians in there country? The love liberals and aide workers that support them. At least until they need hostages.
Ramallah, Hebron and Bethlehem are all places that exist in Palestine.

Gaza is self-governing you moron. What do you think the Palestinian National Authority is? And I can’t really blame Israel for restricting Palestinians from buying homes in Israeli settlements. I wouldn’t want a terrorist living next to me when Palestinians regularly blow up shite and stab innocent people. The Palestinians as a group are maybe the dumbest and most gullible people in the world as they’ve been exploited for years by their leaders like Arafat and Abbas. The leaders get rich while the people who support them starve. The Palestinians have brought everything on themselves because they were too stupid to take the deal of a lifetime from Ehud Barak.

Israel is very close to going scorched earth on the entire ME. And yet our guberment is more worried about new taxes, if weed is ok, more China virus Bs, or if a thug got killed.
So yeah, things have gotten so much better with the puppet in charge.
He probably needs a diaper change by now..

You’re clueless. Many of Luthers theses were complete and utter bs.
The New Testament has zero scriptures involving political violence. The Islamic trilogy has 327,000 words devoted to political violence. You gonna reform the medina surahs in the Koran? The hadiths ? The sirah? shite Mohammed actually did ? As in murder and be a pedo? How in the frick can you reform those happenings? Islam cannot be reformed or revised. Educate yourself

America trained and funded Bin Laden, Castro, Saddam, Noriega, etc...I mean lets not use funding a future enemy and bad State Decision making as a Gotcha. America has a pretty poor record in that arena.
