Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman: US likely unable to assist Israel in war with Hezbollah
Gen. Brown asked Israel to think of how a war would affect the region, as well as the impact it would have on US forces.www.jpost.com
"Joint Chiefs of Staff head Charles Q. Brown warned on Monday that the US may not be able to help defend Israel against an all-out war with Hezbollah in the same way that it stepped in during the Iran drone attack in April.
Brown, a US Air Force general, also said that Iran “would be more inclined to support Hezbollah."
While the Islamic Republic supports Hamas, General Brown said that Tehran would stand more firmly behind Hezbollah, “particularly if they felt that Hezbollah was being significantly threatened.”

What if this is an honest assessment? What if all our arms have gone to Ukraine?
That's like been the case forever.
But what's interesting is for quite some time the orthodox Jews and Israel were the folks you were not allowed to speak against.
Now there is some new page in the script which is interesting to see and sudden some groups are allowed to do that here.
Of course "conservatives" still must toe the obedience to Israel line.

Hamas is just a convenient pretext for Israel to wage war on Gaza and Palestine. It gives Israel an excuse to completely disregard any potential of a 2 state solution. I don't think they have any intention of actually ridding Palestine of Hamas. Even if they did, I agree with that spokesperson - that's an impossible task.
This is why Netanyahus government has propped up Hamas for years. Hamas doesn't exist without Israel and Netanyahu.

Agreed across the board. Seems like it is sporadically covered in the media here in the states is covering what is going on in the west bank currently, i.e. the real prize of annexation they are signaling they want, as they push more settlers further and further into the area with the backing of gov force.
A recent quote:
"As well as serving as finance minister, Smotrich serves as a minister at Israel’s defence ministry, including with responsibility for the Civil Administration, which oversees Israel’s occupation of the West Bank.
As the Guardian revealed last week, the Israeli military recently quietly handed over significant legal powers in the occupied West Bank to pro-settler civil servants working for Smotrich.'

Bezalel Smotrich says he aims to establish sovereignty over occupied territory and thwart a Palestinian state

I thought a lot of that UNRWA stuff was debunked. Israel put out hit pieces blaming UNRWA to deflect and obfuscate from their own failures (and possible purposeful neglect) in October 7th.
A lot of damning investigative journalism coming out right now exposing that Israel knew exactly that the October 7th attacks were going to happen, and deliberately allowed it to happen to provide pretext for an invasion of the strip.
sounding like 9/11 more and more. whether true or not rampant insanity rules in mid east,all sides except maybe jordan.
Fwiw:
"Israeli authorities have not provided "any supporting evidence" to back up allegations that United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees employees are members of groups that attacked Israel on 7 October, a review led by the former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna has said.
The Colonna report, which was commissioned by the UN to look at Unrwa's operations and policies in the wake of Israel's allegations and released on Monday, said Israeli authorities have not responded to letters from Unrwa in March and April requesting names and evidence in order to open an investigation."
Israel has not provided any evidence of Unrwa staff link to Hamas, review finds
Israel has not informed UN agency of any concrete concerns relating to staff since 2011, independent review finds

credible threat.. kinda like the FBI and Sept 11th?
if palestenian protesters are non violent,do not disrupt normal life and follow the permitting process there should be no problem. it's an american right. ie except for conservatives on 1/6/20. if they do as above they should be extradited to gaza,saudi,iran,yemen maybe burkina faso.

This is the truth. England, Ireland, Germany and France are all in bad shape and may never recover. They are well on their way to becoming Islamic states.

Silent embargo hits Israel's ammo supplies amid Gaza conflict
"According to these reports, selected arms suppliers from European countries have ceased contact with their Israeli trade partners.
The "Kalkalist" daily also reported that one of the "foreign powers, which is not the USA and previously traded with Israel," refused to supply raw materials for ammunition production after October 7, 2023.
While the attention of the Israeli public is focused on military aid provided by the USA and the related tensions, the Ministry of Defense and the Israeli army staff are concerned about ammunition shortages following the informal boycott by other countries, the newspaper noted.
The "NYT" daily reported at the beginning of July that the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip began to conserve tank shells to keep some of them for a possible offensive against Hezbollah, which has been attacking the north of the country.
The daily also emphasized that aside from the political context complicating arms imports to Israel, one must also consider the situation in the global market. This market is experiencing an ammunition shortage, which is being intensely consumed not only in the Gaza Strip but also in Ukraine."
Let's look beyond this a bit: if the global market is experiencing an ammo shortage, how are we going to wage a kinetic world war for any decisive amount of time? Other than nukes, I mean.
Oh yeah, Israel's the bad guy in this one! This says it all.

It is behind a paywall.One from Haaretz that seems to slowly trickle to independent media this week:
What is the Hannibal order? Shoot the hostages?
Haaretz is a known leftist news site. I don’t know what the Hannibal order is either but take whatever they say with a grain of salt. They have an agenda and they will slant facts and intentionally present their information to fit their chosen narrative. Not saying everything that they report is junk but you need corroborating news from other more centered or right leaning news agencies to get to the truth.
That seems to be the interpretation. No hostages allowed after the order is evoked.
Looks like it was first suspected early Oct. Reported early Jan. Further supported with the sources Harretz covered.
Ynet covered it as well. Not sure where they lean ideologically in israel press.

Not sure how I fall on all of this the government knew before it happened stuff honestly. Every major event in modern history has those conspiracy theories from Pearl Harbor to 9/11. Fact of the matter is that Hamas and in turn Palestine provoked this entire war by coming into Israel and committing atrocious acts of violence. There is no justification for those actions no matter how anyone feels about anything else. Those acts alone has made anything Israel has done in retaliation justified. I have said it before I am not a fan of either but between two evils, Hamas and the Nation of Islam poses more of a threat to us and our way of life than anyone. They hate the west and want the entire world to become a Nation of Islam. You don’t even have interpret their desire, they openly state it and show it time and time again.
I can definitely agree with you on your first few sentiments. It is much more probable a government is chalk full of retards and their complacency/stupidity leads to the outcomes we see daily vs the inside job conspiracy theories. Not saying a lot of conspiracy theories haven't been shown to be true over the years across the international landscape, but if forced to rank vote, idiots doing idiot things is my first vote.
I also agree Hamas started the OCT 7 chapter of this decades long conflict and committed heinous war crimes against innocent people. But i diverge from the idea that Israel doesn't have culpability in the broader conflict. Something we've attempted to adjudicate in prior posts.
Hannibal Directive - Wikipedia
The Hannibal Directive (Hebrew: נוהל חניבעל, romanized: Nóhal Khanibaál), also translated as Hannibal Procedure or Hannibal Protocol, is the name of a controversial procedure used by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. According to one version, it says that "the kidnapping must be stopped by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces."[2]

good question-idiocy vs conspiracy. idiots do conspiracies also. regarding some of the big ones: pearl,9/11,tonkin,10/7,WMDs i would lean to the idea that these events were known to be coming before they did and those events were allowed to build and to play out. the outraged responses by gov were manufactured and fit the desired narrative. i don't think any of those were planned ahead of time by the gov. they were known to be coming and helped along by ignoring them until a shocked "public" could be guided to the desired response. i think same re 11/22/63. i don't think LBJ planned it. i think he knew,approved and let it happen. most politicians,not all,are too stupid to make and carry out complex plans. they are all corrupt enough to take the benefits.
on the other hand,covid was a preconceived,multifaceted,well planned,and executed operation. i think the players were surprised at how well it worked. the repeat is scheduled.

The Islamic territories do not and have not ever wanted the state of Israel to exist. For them (Israel), it is a constant battle of self preservation. Palestine has never existed as a country historically and is not an ethic group as they would like people to believe. Israel certainly isn’t the entirely innocent victim here but the huge brunt of the entire conflict lies on the Islamic state. War is ugly and don’t start a conflict that you can’t win. Palestine has a history of starting conflicts and it’s time to put that baby to bed. Israel has every right to see this to an end which is the total annihilation and defeat of Hamas. Nothing like this should ever happen again.
I agree with your last sentence. We probably just differ on the methods to get there.
