Middle East Conflict

[The blue phantom]

Biden administration sending more jets and warships to help Israel along with a billion dollars sent just 3 months ago.

I think if the Israelis crush Palestine and keep Iran at arms length the democrats surely beat Trump to presidency.

You mean all those young voters and progressives the Democrat’s need to get on board who are against arming Isreal?

One down, many more to go, as AIPAC pumps massive amounts of money in to unseating any congress member up for reelection that has been critical of Israel (generally or their actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, or Yemen).

Yep. It doesn't even bother them stating if you fuck with Israel you lose

Usually this just means that they're rotating deployed tankers or they could be trailing more fighter jets into Europe. Where they head afterwards (if anywhere) would certainly be interesting.

One crazy thing that I've noticed is the insane level of GPS jamming and spoofing that is happening in Israel. They're even spoofing the position of aircraft in the area to point towards Beirut airport... This is probably to combat the Iranian drone threat.

Go on Flightradar and look at Beirut airport (search: OLBA), sometimes aircraft appear on the ground there which are actually airborne flying hundreds of miles away.

We were in Cyprus in June. In Larnaca, Google maps kept telling us we were in Beirut.

There is a huge amount of Milennial and Gen X left leaning people in full support of Israel. The 9/11 attacks lived long in the memory of the American people and they have always been allied with Israel. The celebrations in the middle East over them attacks hasn't been forgotten.

The Biden administration has been in full support of the Israeli offensive from the get go and supplied aide and a shit tonne of weapons.

Most of these Gen Z are just your usual social justice warrior activists. They talk a lot, but at the end of the day they would rather a genocide than Trump. They're disingenuous, they'll scream Free Palestine but vote in the party funding it. The older generation will potentially win it for the left.

Reporter: “The NYT has released video they acquired showing a McDonald’s store manager in the Bronx beating a customer unconscious with a crowbar last night. Do you have anything to say about that and the reports of other assaults by staff members across their stores?”

Miller: “The reports of the brutal assault are horrific. They ought to be fully investigated by McDonald’s.”

This isn’t the first instance of this highly violent, inhumane rhetoric by the way, there have been several prominent instances of similar statements on Israeli prime time talk shows and televised discussions over the past year, including this one:

Israeli politician quotes Hitler to advocate for a ‘Hebrew Gaza’

Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler when discussing the push to create what he called a ‘Hebrew Gaza’.
