Israel: Tank commander severely injured by two RPG's

Widespread destruction in Gaza

Bulldozer takes RPG strike to the face

US drone strike in Baghdad kills Hezbollah commander

Hezbollah responds to above strike by firing a salvo of 30 rockets on Israel

Israeli armored vehicle (in West Bank) thought it could just drive by that little object on the road (IED)

Snipers and RPG's. At the end, you can see a tank being towed away (implying the tanks ARE being disabled without the use of ATGM)

Resistance fighters of West Bank

Tactically Hamas is dealing heavy damage to troops in Gaza. However, there is a great human cost to inhabitants of gaza. Aid seems to wane. Famine is happening. God knows what will happen if Israel push into Rafa camp. Hard to know who really come out on top even if Israel was repelled.

There are (fake) reports circulating in Western mainstream media that Houthis have threatened to cut submarine internet cables.

However, there is not a single shred of evidence behind the claim. But there is evidence that the original claim originated from a MEMRI webpage.

For those unfamiliar with MEMRI.. it is a private non-profit organization that provides translations of middleastern languages into English, the primary contractor for Western media outlets and US government. It is owned and operated by a former Israeli MOSSAD agent.

MEMRI was responsible for mistranslating Iranian Prime Minister Ahmadinejad's words into drive all jews into the sea, the mistranslation which gained widespread attention in Western media and became a canard of Israeli propaganda which is still employed today.

This is the original MEMRI report about the Houthis (note the missing citations),

The organization's translations are regularly quoted by major international newspapers, and its work has generated strong criticism and praise.

Interesting Israeli statements from 20 years ago,

50 percent of the people living under Israeli rule in historic Palestine (Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip) are Palestinians, not Jews. And their numbers are growing rapidly.

Israel tried “disengagement” in Gaza — essentially a ruse to convince the rest of the world that the 1.5 million Palestinians caged in there should no longer be counted as part of the population. They were in Israel’s definition a “hostile entity.”

Arnon Soffer, an architect of the 2005 disengagement explained that the approach “doesn’t guarantee ‘peace,’ it guarantees a Jewish- Zionist state with an overwhelming majority of Jews.” Soffer predicted that in the future “when 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it’s going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today, with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam. The pressure at the border will be awful.”

“If we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.” Soffer hoped that eventually, Palestinians would give up and leave Gaza altogether.

And that plan is playing out today word-for-word. The only obstacle in the way is Egypt's refusal to accept Gazans.

Tricky situation for Egypt: let Israel have Gaza or just hope all Gazans don't die off by restricting them there?

That pretty much sums up the entire war; the killing, the restricting of aid, the destruction.

It has been known for decades that Israel's Jewish population is growing significantly slower than the Israeli' and Palestinian' Muslim population. The demographic trend is against Israel and the only option Israel has to maintain it's majority is the death of Muslims.

The guy who got sniped in this ^^ video has been identified by IDF to be a Deputy Commander who was responsible for the Shifa Hospital operation.


Al-Qassam got some serious reconnaissance and tactical capability to dig that out and find him on the open battlefield for execution.

Arguably a proper famine that kills hundreds of thousands, which would be similar to the holodomor in Ukraine, would really convince even the sceptics that this is a genocide. Extermination of the population of Gaza means Israel will be seen as the new apartheid south Africa. Can the US really justify protecting Israel at the security council once we have Nazi style piles of thin, dead bodies?

Really good analysis of the war

• Hamas claims 750 IDF vehicles destroyed
• IDF soldier claimed 500 IDF vehicles destroyed
• IDF: Atleast 1500 IDF personnel killed (likely more); 5000+ injured
• Strategic mistake of US

the situation is rapidly escalating out of control. . This really should be a "are we the baddies" moment for those with self reflection.

Netanyahu really wants to drag the US into another forever war in the Middle East. Israel really is America's best Ally
