    They were literally taught the how-to by the top guys in the Nazi propaganda machine. They use the very same tactics to this day.

    And we have posters on here buying it hook, line and sinker. Look at the poster above you, that poster is a puppet for the terrorists and I think he's happy about it. Crazy.

    On Thursday afternoon, Israel announced that it had destroyed Hamas' 4 battalions in Rafah. Israel has declared victory in the Battle of Rafah which took 4 months to accomplish.

    Victory: Israel Wins Battle of Rafah -- Which Kamala Told It Not to Fight (breitbart.com)

    Kamala Harris Warns Against Israeli Offensive In Rafah: "I Have Studied The Maps" (youtube.com)

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared victory Thursday in the battle of Rafah, having destroyed Hamas’s four battalions there over the course of four months.

    It was a battle that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee for U.S. president, told Israel not to fight, warning of the consequences for civilians there, and even threatening to withhold U.S. weapons.

    After delaying from February to May, in the fact of opposition from Harris and President Joe Biden, Netanyahu proceeded with battle plans, and IDF troops seized the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border before turning toward the rest of Rafah, fighting neighborhood by neighborhood, street to street, and house to house.

    As Breitbart News reported, the prime minister’s office declared Thursday that all of the Hamas battalions had been destroyed, and that Hamas was now reduced to guerrilla warfare and no longer functioning as a coherent military.

    Mods, if you want to move to an existing Israel thread, go ahead and bring any old thread to the front page. However, Israel declaring victory over Hamas deserves its own thread.

    The Battle of Rafah ended in 1949.

    Israel declared combat operations in Rafah had successfully eliminated 2300 Hamas operatives. Yet, the tunnels that Israel claimed were allowing Hamas to move back and forth to Egypt had long since been seal on the Egyptian side and mostly bombed out of existence before the IDF arrived.

    So, other than thousands of dead Palestinians, including innocent women and children, and having already created the next 10 generations of terrorists who will threaten Israeli civilians, what exactly did they accomplish?

    You know, it's entirely possible for both of these things to be true. Go look at photos of Rafah today, and it's obvious there were pretty severe consequences for any civilians that (used to) live there. People are going to have different opinions on whether that collateral damage was worth it, and it doesn't mean someone is "wrong" because they reached a different conclusion than you did.

    Hamas needed/needs to go, but in a way that minimizes non-combatant casualties.

    The grammar cult wing of the Democrat party even understands the difference between "there" and "their".

    This is exactly what happened. Be happy, the Israel/Hamas War is now down to a war on remnants that won't end until the remnants are tracked down and destroyed too.

    Best to now be concerned about the overall Middle East than Gaza. Israel will not stop until Hezbollah is no longer a threat to Israel, includes the Houthis too. This brings in the likelihood of a greater war with Iran. Israel is pledged to not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons that can reach Israel. The Middle East wars are far from over.

    Trump had the Abraham Accords working and supported Israel like no other American president with no Middle East wars. The negative trajectory the US, Israel, and the Middle East are on under democratic leadership will lead to wider wars.

    Those Abraham Accords are some of favorite fake foreign policy of all time!

    Also, it sounds like you're quoting him from the debate. Any chance you could throw in a "They're Eating the Dogs!" ?

    One of the interns just came by my office and told me about this..

    Just wow. I'd love for the details to come out. This was the best spot I could find to post it.

    Dozens of Hezbollah members reportedly hurt by exploding pagers

    Scores of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.


    A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

    A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut, amid widespread panic. People said explosions were taking place even 30 minutes after the initial blasts.

    Now .... this is almost funny .... exploding pagers.

    Hundreds of Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon when pagers explode, security source says (msn.com)

    BEIRUT (Reuters) -Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.

    A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

    The explosions took place amid heightened violence between Israel and Hezbollah, who have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza war erupted last October in the worst such escalation in years.

    There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military to Reuters enquiries about the detonations.

    So I've been thinking about this since first posting the link. I've been wondering what attack vector was used. Assuming Moussad was behind this, I have 3 theories.

    1) Somesort of firmware exploit that caused a voltage issue which then lead to the batteries blowing up. I don't think this is likely because the battery in a pager can't be that a big, but then again, I don't think there's video of one exploding.

    2) Supply chain attack where the good guys got a hold of the pagers before the were distributed to the bad guys. This seems plausible in that if you had access to the pagers, you have a access to the firmware as well as the internals, so you could so something like make the batteries 80% high explosive and 20% actual battery to run the pager, or something along those lines.

    3) The bad guys doctored up their own pagers as small grenades or flashbangs or something like that before they were distributed and the good guys found out how to activate that feature remotely.

    That many going off in such a small window would be statistically impossible, imo. This was coordinated and I'm dying to know the details.
