The military operations inside gaza have been ongoing now for over a half a year and i can’t help but wonder what does Hamas have left in terms of manpower and equipment. At the start of all of this i think it was reported there were about 30k Hamas fighters. Gaza has been under siege for so long i really don’t understand how are they still fighting. Is it that Isreal is being REALLY careful with their attacks to minimize their casualties, so that’s why it’s taking so long? Surely, if Isreal were to accept let’s say 3-5K KIA/WIA then they could wipe Hamas off the map in the next 2-3months? Is ..read more

“Ukrainians don’t know what they’re fighting for, Ukraine as they know it is dead” - excerpt from a Russian Soldier being interviewed about his thought about Ukrainians. I fréquent the Russia-Ukraine war subs pretty often and try to understand viewpoints, understand the effect of propaganda on all sides (after all, the first casualty in war is truth) and understanding motivations. I was watching another interview, and the phrase aforementioned made me think. The Ukraine we know prior to February 2022 is gone forever. Millions have left, thousands have died, and the destruction, hate, alienati ..read more

Heard countless people call Israel the same as Apartheid South Africa over the past few months, yet 20% of the Israeli population is Arab and they seem to have all the same rights and privileges as Jewish Israeli citizens. Was hoping someone who holds this viewpoint could explain what makes Israel similar to SA in that regard, are they claiming the Palestinian’s in the West Bank & Gaza should also be treated as Israeli citizens despite…not being Israeli citizens?
