American here: Shit, I'd like to see our own veterans get the care and benefits they're supposed to be entitled to.
Some vets have been getting screwed over for literal decades after being forced to kill, suffer injury, psychological damage, lose good friends, and regularly risk death all supposedly for our country.
Veteran here. Yep. I am pretty alright I guess, but I don't have the time or energy to fight for all the shit I should have gotten. Fuck that. It breaks my shriveled little heart to watch people I served with having to fight tooth and nail to get a new fucking prosthetic because theirs broke and being held together by duct tape, only to have their new one break walking through the damn parking lot on the way out of the VA.
If it is the same bill I saw earlier it is like a national guard benefit of credit freeze and dept freeze. Also you can come back to the same job and same pay you left with.
Fortunately our sun isn't big enough to go supernova. It'd just go nova. But also, the iron in a few thousand people's blood probably isn't enough to get down to the center of the sun within the timescale humans are likely to exist on.
I hope they get him so justice can be served up for the countless lives lost due to the terror Hamas has done to the people of the world i pray that the people of Palestine can be free from the hands of a Dictatorship
The US and Israel are losing the propaganda war, they need a name for it's news outlets to focus on and vilify. They know from experience that promoting hatred for one figurehead will stoke hatred for all Palestinians
I too remember when the death of al-Zarqawi ended al-Qaeda in Iraq. I kind of doubt the motivating factor for a young Palestinian to join Hamas is the raw charisma of a far away leader rather than say his family being blown up by a 2000 lb. bomb.
Yeah, if I was in Gaza those last 6 months I'd probably be looking to join any organisation that would give me a chance to kill some IDF soldiers of I was going to die anyway.
I would bet a years salary that they’ll keep going even if they find and kill him. Hell, I bet they keep going if he offers himself to the Israelis as a sacrificial lamb to try to stop them from murdering civilians.
Edit: woah. As of this writing, the account that replied and downvoted this is about 9 minutes old. I have successfully inspired someone to join lemmy (yay 😄), but it seems they’re not the caliber of person whose going to improve the discourse here (aww 😞).
Yep. There has been nothing to indicate Israel gives a single shit about this guy.
Biden: "What if we hunted down Yayah Sinwat?"
Little Ben: "Who?"
Biden: "The Hamas chief."
Little Ben: "Ooh, those guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure."
Like a fiddle. Again. Even after Biden admitted he got played at the start already. He's not great at seeing things that are so obvious to the rest of the world.
I'm betting on that even if the Hamas chief offers himself, the states and Israel will try to swing it as a look-a-like and will conveniently find the "real" one shortly after occupying all of Palestine, so they can keep trying to bring attention back to a single person
Reminder that there's zero chance that Netanyahu will stop after Sinwar is dead and this is just Biden being his lap dog and providing him with American military intelligence for free.
No Biden should definitely run a massive spy operation for israel for free and provide them with all the intel Netanyahu wants. The military runs on sunshine and rainbows after all.
Israel has software for mass surveillance (wire tapping, data scraping etc) but in terms of physical surveillance abilities they are lacking (aside from the Big Brother camera system and auto gun turrets they installed in the West Bank).
Just don’t provide the info. There’s no legitimate reason for Israel to be committing genocide against Palestinians and the US shouldn’t be complicit with it, let alone actively supporting it.
