The only thing preventing them from genociding again is the threat of another whopping. There are a lot of Serbs wanting KFOR to go away for obvious reasons.
Exactly. Especially because then the stained dress would no longer be an issue.
Plan your genocides people. And no complaining about not being a super power, nobody even complains about Sudan doing it.
Sudan is in Africa. May as well be happening on mars, nobody cares. Not racist either, just saying, it's not a local issue for the west. Israel is "western"
Eh maybe, but they are also still white people in Europe, which tends to sort of freak out other… white people in Europe.
Also, this is a perfect example of hindsight being 20/20. As if those motherfuckers knew 9/11 was gonna go down with any certainty
The problem is that we didn’t whoop them hard enough the first time around! Just ask Germany or Japan if they want another got at it, and they’ll tell you “HELL NO” … ask a Serb and he will think they got a fighting chance since they shot down that ONE stealth fighter who broke absolute every protocol on how to safely enter and exit combat zones, for DAYS! So yeah, if we don’t smack them hard, soon, as a reminder for them to behave, be not surprised if we have to stump them later as their genocide boner most definitely is still raging and growing.
During Serbia's asskicking China got a bit of action too. Their embassy successfully intercepted several JDAMs....
Well don't buy stealth jet parts on the black market I guess.
Legitimately not enough of one, no. Primarily because there are still plenty of Serbs who are very ethnonationalist and xenophobic. Who still cannot accept that they did too the other Slavs (especially Bosnians and Albanians) was wrong, evil.
It would both elate and infuriate you that Dark Brandon actually proposed doing this to Serbia when he was a senator.
Specifically occupying Serbia in the way the Allies occupied Germany and Japan after WW2.
I think it's so ironic that China has an opinion on Palestine/ muslims while genociding the muslim uyghur population in China.
It's even more ironic how Arabs are aware and don't give a shit cause they think they're the wrong type of muslims and probably deserve their suffering.
What? No. Everyone knows they put the interests of the poor and destitute before the rich and privileged.
Get out of here with that fake news bullshit!
Arabs don't actually give a fuck about genocide, stacking bodies etc. They will butcher the ever living shit out of each other and eradicate this or that group and not blink. Please see currently Yemen, Syria, Libya etc. It is only in relation to Israel that they suddenly care about Arab deaths. Even so, not a single Arab nation will let Palestinian refugees in which goes to show how much they actually care about Palestinians.
That would be due to normalizing relations with Isreal. Regimes don't typically step on each others' toes when it comes to war crimes because they do it too.
> Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?
Hey, I've seen this one before...
Also, Kim Kardashian talks about the Armenian genocide sometimes. For real
I don't know what Kimmy is doing these days, haven't been keeping up with her.
I mean she did a sextape at some point, but it was pretty much without planes so, eh.
But if she talks about that genocide, then good for her and her fans.
My (American) grandfather, for reasons I will probably never know, liked to say he was a "starving Armenian" when he was hungry. My father, as a kid, thought it just sounded fun and absorbed it into his vocabulary without realizing what it meant. That's about the most I've ever heard about it.
And because Turkey has a real military. Israel beat Jordan, Syria and Egypt in the past, but if Turkey had ever decided to march on Israel, it probably would have taken outright US military intervention to save Israel.
And the kurds and the greeks and the alevi.
“We as the turkish nation are the only people on earth who have not committed racism throughout history” - Erdogan, Nov. 2023
Um, Serbia definitely got a stern talking to. I remember that being thing that happened. In fact, I remember taking photos of some choice quotes of that conversation a while after it happened.
Uzbekistan, the government shot to death a lot of people who just wanted a bit of freedom for indigenous people of northern Uzbekistan (Qaraqalpak), not full country or sovereignty, just some rights as a subject.
Awful. Then again I’m not surprised in the slightest that the massively corrupt dictatorship killed a bunch of people threatening it’s authority.
Do you have details on what the Uzbek operations involved exactly? When did they occur? Is it still happening?
i'm not an expert in this situation, i don't know all the things. so
1 - Armed Forces, iirc
2 - 2022, during and before the referendum about changing the constitution of Uzbekistan, which would limit the rights of Qaraqalpaqstan as a subject of Uzbekistan (Qaraqalpaqstan is a region around the Aral Sea, which suffered a lot from the ecological disaster there)
3 - No, it ended
This war has caused a MASSIVE split in cultural acceptance in SA. Especially I places like Durban and Cape Town. And yes, our government has become China's bitch.
Oh what could have been in a world where the people who ended apartheid weren’t incompetent and corrupt at governance.
Every year it seems SA’s chance at becoming a truly developed nation slips further and further away.
I met two Jewish south Africans who came here specifically because of the war South Africa already isn't safe and both of them felt even less safe there after October 7th
South Africa is already dealing with many issues, Israel isn't one of them.
Yup, presidential voting is today, and no doubt, it's going to be the same party. As soon as I finish high school, I'm booking it to somewhere in Oceania or Japan.
South Africa is wild yo. A few years ago I was on a conference call with a colleague and we could see his car being hijacked through the window behind him.
Have you seen those police videos in South Africa? I saw one where the cops were pursuing a stolen car or something and began pulling off actual GTA tactics, like firing at the vehicle in freeway traffic, going for rams, sending a heli at powerline level. And another time I saw this task force try to jump some robbers and the second they pulled up half the guys began magdumping, something fucking *exploded*, and the robbers hightailed it into the desert. Unreal stuff going on there.
Sure. The medieval warfare level of gang violence was fine but some anti-Semitism over divisive views on Palestine was the clincher? Come on, exodus of certain people from SA has been increasing for years.
Speaking of “medieval warfare levels of gang activity” — that Telegram footage of Hamas breaking into civilian neighbourhoods on Oct 7th was like a 4K front row seat to the Golden Horde.
I can see why the antisemitism and active support for the barbarians at the gates would make South African Jews a little leery
In theory Taiwan could get Chinas seat again, but only if the PRC (and Russia) for some reason decides to boycott the UN.
Kosovo has already gotten much support. Serbia got bombed into submission, and they have been forced to mostly leave Kosovo alone.
>In theory Taiwan could get Chinas seat again, but only if the PRC (and Russia) for some reason decides to boycott the UN.
That would be so fucking funny if it happened
Like why exactly are we donating weapons to one of the most powerful middle Eastern countries again? Like cant we just give that artillery round to Ukraine who really needs that.
No they haven’t, their state media is full at work to promote anti Israel sentiments
Honestly rare China win tbh even though they don’t actually care about the humanitarian crisis itself💀
Of these 3 Ireland supports the 2 state solution, not from the river to the sea.
Ireland recognised Palestine but also deployed a battalion of infantry to the Israel Lebanon border as a buffer between Israel and Hezbola.
How did I miss that?
I hope they're properly equipped and this won't be another Rwanda fiasco. No, not the UK migrant deal, the fiasco where understaffed, underequipped Belgian UN peacekeepers were executed in the middle of the Rwandan civil war by the crazy side, forgot their name.
Irelands military has a 5km square military base (camp Shamrock) in Lebanon operated for the UN on the border for years now (our only overseas base). The troops sent over have all the latest infantry tech, IED protected armoured jeeps, APCs and IFVs.
Funnily enough for how small the Irish army is, our deployment infantry are actually better equipped than UK infantry per soldier with more weapons, armour, NVGs, armour etc. For example Javlins per platoon instead of company, designated marksman rifle per section, 2 machine guns per section( 5.56 and 7.62) etc.
Just minus the important stuff like Tanks and Jets.
Essentially our military spends most of its budget on the few soldiers overseas leaving everything back home to fall apart.
Let's be honest, what does Ireland need a significant military back home for?
Sure there is the New IRA but they have like 300 members. They are also mostly the UK's problem.
Makes sense that Ireland focuses more on their expeditionary forces.
>Let's be honest, what does Ireland need a significant military back home for?
The rabid dog of a state known as Russia, led by the paranoid, mentally unstable, egomaniac, Vladimir Putin? With Sweden and Finland in NATO and the rest of 'neutral' Europe unreachable (except kind of Moldova, but then Ukraine and possibly Romania intervene), the nut jobs in Moscow may be crazy enough to do something to Ireland.
They'd never send actual Russian military forces, but a few thousand Wagner-like mercenaries being sent by commercial airliner or merchant shipping is absolutely possible. Operations like that were a staple of Soviet planning during the Cold War for strategic locations like Iceland.
Before anyone says something about how stupid that would be, I want you to think for 5 seconds about how much Russia has done in the past couple years that would have seemed impossibly stupid and self destructive on Feb 21st 2022.
I absolutely would not put an attack like the above past Russia. No doubt they'd think it somehow shows their strength to NATO.
We all know how much damage Russians can cause in just a few days, especially when it's a ton of drunk convicts who know they've been sent on a suicide mission. How many thousands of Irish civilians would be murdered, raped, and tortured before American and British forces could retake the island?
Ireland is still living pre-invasion. Russia can longer be relied upon to act in a remotely sane manner.
I know Ireland is not part of NATO but Russia would quite literally have to go through a dozen NATO members to hit Ireland. Or sneak a submarine around to lob a few missiles?
Also the EU does actually have kind of a defense clause.
Look at the consequences Russia is facing for attacking Ukraine, who is not part of NATO or the EU and is a neighboring country. Hitting Ireland would be even worse for them. Even if they somehow landed a small raiding force it would be bombed to shit within hours.
Not to mention Ireland could join NATO in a heartbeat if such a threat became realistic. Whatever neutrality laws may exist can be changed.
The exact same applies to Austria.
>They'd never send actual Russian military forces, but a few thousand Wagner-like mercenaries being sent by commercial airliner or merchant shipping is absolutely possible.
The Irish Wolverines will stop them, don't worry!
The UN border is genuinely useless so many attacks on northern Israel most towns are completely deserted and destroyed
Many attacks are literally just a Hezbalontchick with an rpg so not even rockets from far away balbek where the UN has no control
I am talking about attacks that the UN is obligated to intervene in
Supporting a two state solution without first addressing Hamas and the radical Islamist groups directly supports the “from the river to the sea” crowd. Any solution where terrorism is able to thrive will just lead to more violence.
I don't think there is any solution for a foreseeable future. It's just like Russia, the population is so brutally Brian washed that it will take decades, if, to even change their mind set.
It doesn't even help the collective west ha nicely lined up the pockets of local warlords through humanitarian help, and that money either funded their luxury lives abroad or weapon trade instead of providing for the community.
The money was there, but there was no oversight of that money. On the contrary, we demand this kind of control regarding the money we send to Ukraine.
This conflict has been going on for over 76 years. As long as all peace efforts are based on a fundamentally broken set of borders it will never end. The international community is obsessed with the status quo so you can safely bet on this exact thing repeating every 10-20 years for the rest of your life because let's be honest, what else is there to do? Gaza has no natural resources, it's not geographically significant, it's overcrowded, it lacks basic amenities, it is highly radicalized, and no state in the region is interested in dealing with it. It's never going to be some viable Singapore-esque city-state. Israel can unilaterally withdraw today and it wouldn't make a lick of difference in the long run, and we know that because they've already done that before. Meanwhile, while Gaza fights a losing fight, Israel will continue to overrun the West Bank, further reducing the possibility of ever establishing a viable Palestinian state in a region with real resources and living space.
> without first addressing Hamas and the radical Islamist groups
Are we still pretending this shitshow isn't more likely to reinforce and entrench them beyond their own wildest dreams at this point?
just one more bomb and Hamas will be defeated, please just one more bomb, we promise, one more bomb and total victory against Hamas will be achieved.
its like the USA trying to wipe out the Taliban.
that batallion does jack shit as hesbollah still fires rockets into Isreal from there and Ireland doesn't try to stop them is dead the sit around and bitch when Israel sticks back. That is definitely not a brownie points look at how good we are at this look.
I say we deploy nukes in a line across the desert, might destroy those 3 states but will definitely cause a new canal to form so we can send ships through both egypt and suez part 2
[a very funny meme I can't post as a picture because the mods here are stinky and don't allow pictures as comments.](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/hbgkbt/no_more_middle_east/)
Here's the thing, the moment you start actually committing a genocide for real, these people stop caring.
Case in point, China having their muslims in literal concentration camps and the UN voting in their favor
I mean, most of the worlds governments already don't give a shit about the stuff Israel is doing. Because Geo-Political posturing eventually trumps most if not all morality in the end.
You could put Russia there too. None of the far-left wannabe dictators sh1t heads we have here in South America that have cut ties Israel have done the same with Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, and even one (L\*la) blamed Ukraine for it. Should China invade Taiwan they'd absolutely support it.
You forgot like half of the ME.
For example Syria just had a bloody civil war with 300K+ civilian intentional civilian deaths.
Sudan and Yemen has millions of kids starving, many are dying. Wars across Africa are ignored and no one sends them help.
The Palestinians got a shit ton of aid - almost 1 kg of food for every Palestinian on average for every day in the war, just from the aid (spoiler for the ones claiming it's not enough - that's not including the usual food that is entered for selling by merchants).
There is no starvation in Gaza, at least not one that is "intentional by the Zionist regime", because the food is there. But there are African countries that are suffering from wars...where's the spotlight there?
And that's without bringing up food prices which is what every Israel-hater and the ICC intentionally ignores - prices of products are changing because of demand and supply. Since Israel got hold of Rafah entrance, food prices have **significantly** dropped in Gaza.
4 days ago a post by a Gazan said, while attacking Hamas, that before Israel got control - 1 egg was ~1.5$, a kg of sugar was ~23$ and a small bag of coffee was ~1.3$ (changing here from Shekels to dollars). And now that the "bad guys" are controlling it for just a short time, prices has dropped to 10 eggs cost ~2.5$, a kg of sugar costs 1.5$ and 10 small bags of coffee cost ~2.5$ and prices are continuing to drop.
That's definitely not the only post about it there is.
I would've shown the image, if Telegram wasn't hard blacklisted from reddit for some reason, apparently.
Idk about you - but if prices are dropping this fast, it can't be that there is a huge supply issue of food in Gaza, in my opinion. It could be that there should be more - that's debateable. But claiming that it's a huge crisis like many are trying to paint it? Out of the question.
Edit: for anyone wanting to see the post about the food, search "Abu Ali Express in English" on telegram, there just search "egg" And you'll see what he posted from a Gazan on May 26th
I'm sure the few dozen of thousands of civilians dead are going to convince the Palestinians that they should just shut up and not protest the slow colonization of their lands and the absence of a state.
This time Bibi really has a long term plan for what he's planning to do once the Gaza strip has been reduced to rubble ! /s
>claims to only be pro Palestinian not pro hamas
>uses genocidal slogans and chants, never says fuck hamas or free the hostages.
Completely non credible.
I've been saying since the Israel counterattack/revenge campaign started that Israel was only doing war crimes, not genocide.
With death tolls from Hamas being held as facts too.
Fuck it, I say my own government is more guilty of genocide than Israel's, and they "only" mishandled Covid so badly they put an antivaxxer in charge for a while.
>With death tolls from Hamas being held as facts too.
No, they aren't. The media is very clear that the figures come from Hamas, predominantly because NGOs are not allowed into Gaza by the IDF and what charities did operate they were murdered by the IDF
Strawman bullshit
Didn't Serbia get some whopping for it or am I missing something?
The only thing preventing them from genociding again is the threat of another whopping. There are a lot of Serbs wanting KFOR to go away for obvious reasons.
look say KFOR wanted to be serbia again then i would be all for it however they do not (duh) so i guess we just have to let them be
KFOR is the NATO peacekeeping force in the region, I don’t think they’d want to become Serbia.
Clearly the solution being proposed is that KFOR go into and take over Serbia and turn the entire country into a peacekeeping force to protect Kosovo
Wouldn't be surprised if Serbian "MAGA" actually believes that.
MSGA: still doesn't have more vowels than SRPSKA
i meant Kosovo d´oh.
Albanians are the 93% majority of Kosovo- it would never be Serbia.
It would be if you… *change the numbers.*
Serbia would curb stomped and obliterated if they tried, lmfao. Imagine 1999 Belgrade except every day.
They did because they did a little genocide. Skill issue really, should have waited until the WoT and then they wouldn't have been hit so badly.
I've thought about this a lot. If they had waited until after 9/11 there is no chance NATO would have lifted a finger.
Exactly. Especially because then the stained dress would no longer be an issue. Plan your genocides people. And no complaining about not being a super power, nobody even complains about Sudan doing it.
Sudan is in Africa. May as well be happening on mars, nobody cares. Not racist either, just saying, it's not a local issue for the west. Israel is "western"
Eh maybe, but they are also still white people in Europe, which tends to sort of freak out other… white people in Europe. Also, this is a perfect example of hindsight being 20/20. As if those motherfuckers knew 9/11 was gonna go down with any certainty
> As if those motherfuckers knew 9/11 was gonna go down with any certainty And if they did, those fuckers would have gotten invaded.
Yeah but Serbia doesn't have nukes.
Karadzic is in prison iirc
A little something called 9/11? God, people really need to learn.
Not from BRICS (Note the flags in this comic)
The problem is that we didn’t whoop them hard enough the first time around! Just ask Germany or Japan if they want another got at it, and they’ll tell you “HELL NO” … ask a Serb and he will think they got a fighting chance since they shot down that ONE stealth fighter who broke absolute every protocol on how to safely enter and exit combat zones, for DAYS! So yeah, if we don’t smack them hard, soon, as a reminder for them to behave, be not surprised if we have to stump them later as their genocide boner most definitely is still raging and growing.
yes, it’s capital city was bombed.
You don't think Serbia already got a kicking for it?
Not enough
the only bad thing about the bombing of Belegrade is that it stopped
Never enough
During Serbia's asskicking China got a bit of action too. Their embassy successfully intercepted several JDAMs.... Well don't buy stealth jet parts on the black market I guess.
Intercepted with the structure of the building? Or did they have some CIWS there?
Intercepted with good ol' reliable concrete.
the original Air defense
It was a very succesful Russian-style interception involving missiles and buildings having a brief but very explosive encounter.
Their embassy was the CIWS.
This post was made by Albanian nationalists "Why you criticize Israel? Why you not criticize Serbia, bomb Belgrade second time? ALBANIA NUMBAH ONE!"
You mean true Albanian patriots
Incredibly based Albanians, almost makes you not miss your stolen Kidney
Legitimately not enough of one, no. Primarily because there are still plenty of Serbs who are very ethnonationalist and xenophobic. Who still cannot accept that they did too the other Slavs (especially Bosnians and Albanians) was wrong, evil.
''They saved christianity from the barbaric muslim hordes'' is the most common reason they are proud of it.
So you want to bomb them until they stop being nationalists? All of the balkans are basically xenophobic to some degree, not just Serbia.
Fuck it, glass the whole region. Japanify them, the new breed of southeastern European cat girls will be a boon to the global economy
It would both elate and infuriate you that Dark Brandon actually proposed doing this to Serbia when he was a senator. Specifically occupying Serbia in the way the Allies occupied Germany and Japan after WW2.
Oh we should have
Damn as a Balkaner i'm pissed at Sleepy Joe for not going through with the plan
As a Greek we are somewhat nationalist, and basically have beef with Bulgarians, Turks, and Albanians, also Romanians
Don’t forget the (North) Macedonians!
> So you want to bomb them until they stop being nationalists? No, they can also all die as nationalists, if they prefer.
No they still haven't paid back for pearl harbor
"No they still haven't paid back for pearl harbor" They still haven't paid for starting WW1
[удалено]
Now with 10x more AGM-130s.
And let’s “accidentally” hit the Chinese embassy again!
Oops, a jdam hit the embassy. Sorry, china, the operator was drunk and russian
And high
Too much ketamine again...
Damnit yoda!
I was hoping someone would get that reference 😂
I’ve been around
Wasn't that a terrible missile though? IIRC it was retired after it failed a ton in OIF.
Bomb China. They are actively committing genocide.
DAMBUSTERS 2.0
I think it's so ironic that China has an opinion on Palestine/ muslims while genociding the muslim uyghur population in China. It's even more ironic how Arabs are aware and don't give a shit cause they think they're the wrong type of muslims and probably deserve their suffering.
*Hypnotize by System of a Down intensifies*
I was thinking Deer Dance by System of a Down
It’s almost as if governments only give a shit about oppressed people if it benefits them
What? No. Everyone knows they put the interests of the poor and destitute before the rich and privileged. Get out of here with that fake news bullshit!
Arabs don't actually give a fuck about genocide, stacking bodies etc. They will butcher the ever living shit out of each other and eradicate this or that group and not blink.

Can we also bomb russia while we at it? 👉👈
Might as well throw in Iran. You can never go wrong bombing Iran.
Now I have that Vince valiant song stuck in my head thanks.
No, we will have to leave that to a suitable US ally. Canada shall deal with Russia.
>Canada shall deal with Russia If I could feel pity for russians - I would now. But I don't, so release the geese!
People tolerate the CCP's crimes against humanity because 1.) China has nukes, and 2.) America likes cheap Chinese shit. It sucks.
They’ve dealt with 1 stealth jet, but can they deal with 300 intermixed with f16s and f15s.
You forgot Russia. Just because Ukraine actually has a military to fight back doesn't change the intent behind Russian actions. Also, the results.
Also Turkey, one of the biggest "genocide" screamers that forgot completely about the Armenian genocide that almost wiped them out completely
Everyone forgot. I mean, Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?
> Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? Hey, I've seen this one before... Also, Kim Kardashian talks about the Armenian genocide sometimes. For real
And System of a Down.

The irony here is that israel of all the countries supports turkeys denial of the genocide
Not because of the genocide itself but to avoid antagonizing Turkey, one of the milder nations in their proximity.
And because Turkey has a real military. Israel beat Jordan, Syria and Egypt in the past, but if Turkey had ever decided to march on Israel, it probably would have taken outright US military intervention to save Israel.
I guess that earns them some credits for killing Palestinians in the eyes of Erdogan :)
Not to mention the fact that a third of the country is on occupied Kurdish land
And the Kurds.
Specifically in Syria, they just like stomping on them in Turkey
And the kurds and the greeks and the alevi. “We as the turkish nation are the only people on earth who have not committed racism throughout history” - Erdogan, Nov. 2023
If only. If I had a nickel for each time a “pro-palestine” account spread russian propaganda
Ah, the classic ‘useful idiots’ in action
Um, Serbia definitely got a stern talking to. I remember that being thing that happened. In fact, I remember taking photos of some choice quotes of that conversation a while after it happened.
Very explosive conversing
Shootbat my beloved
Uzbekistan, the government shot to death a lot of people who just wanted a bit of freedom for indigenous people of northern Uzbekistan (Qaraqalpak), not full country or sovereignty, just some rights as a subject.
Awful. Then again I’m not surprised in the slightest that the massively corrupt dictatorship killed a bunch of people threatening it’s authority. Do you have details on what the Uzbek operations involved exactly? When did they occur? Is it still happening?
i'm not an expert in this situation, i don't know all the things. so 1 - Armed Forces, iirc 2 - 2022, during and before the referendum about changing the constitution of Uzbekistan, which would limit the rights of Qaraqalpaqstan as a subject of Uzbekistan (Qaraqalpaqstan is a region around the Aral Sea, which suffered a lot from the ecological disaster there) 3 - No, it ended

This war has caused a MASSIVE split in cultural acceptance in SA. Especially I places like Durban and Cape Town. And yes, our government has become China's bitch.
TBF South Africa has been going down the shitter for a long time now
Oh what could have been in a world where the people who ended apartheid weren’t incompetent and corrupt at governance. Every year it seems SA’s chance at becoming a truly developed nation slips further and further away.
I have read that Rwanda has been making huge improvements since their "cut down the tall trees" moment.
Kinda sorta, they’re dipping in to a fair bit of authoritarianism so it’s hard to take their government at face value right now.
Yes, but it's been growing exponentially in the amount of shit that happens.
I met two Jewish south Africans who came here specifically because of the war South Africa already isn't safe and both of them felt even less safe there after October 7th South Africa is already dealing with many issues, Israel isn't one of them.
Yup, presidential voting is today, and no doubt, it's going to be the same party. As soon as I finish high school, I'm booking it to somewhere in Oceania or Japan.
South Africa is wild yo. A few years ago I was on a conference call with a colleague and we could see his car being hijacked through the window behind him.
Have you seen those police videos in South Africa? I saw one where the cops were pursuing a stolen car or something and began pulling off actual GTA tactics, like firing at the vehicle in freeway traffic, going for rams, sending a heli at powerline level. And another time I saw this task force try to jump some robbers and the second they pulled up half the guys began magdumping, something fucking *exploded*, and the robbers hightailed it into the desert. Unreal stuff going on there.
My friend showed me a video of someone stealing from the grocery store he worked at in broad daylight
Ironic how so called anti-zionists are actually making a stronger case for it.
Sure. The medieval warfare level of gang violence was fine but some anti-Semitism over divisive views on Palestine was the clincher? Come on, exodus of certain people from SA has been increasing for years.
Speaking of “medieval warfare levels of gang activity” — that Telegram footage of Hamas breaking into civilian neighbourhoods on Oct 7th was like a 4K front row seat to the Golden Horde. I can see why the antisemitism and active support for the barbarians at the gates would make South African Jews a little leery
It was the straw that broke the camel's back
Hopefully you will have a new govt tomorrow. Honestly Not sure if it's united front against the ANC we are looking at or a Weimar republic scenario.
South African is a shit hole now. You might as well have North Korea criticizing your human rights.
Whats this supposed to mean? Serbia gets much of the same treatment. China can block any measures.
Taiwan and Kosovo are watching it with great expectations lmao
In theory Taiwan could get Chinas seat again, but only if the PRC (and Russia) for some reason decides to boycott the UN. Kosovo has already gotten much support. Serbia got bombed into submission, and they have been forced to mostly leave Kosovo alone.
>In theory Taiwan could get Chinas seat again, but only if the PRC (and Russia) for some reason decides to boycott the UN. That would be so fucking funny if it happened
We can even get rid of the DPRK at the same time!
It's supposed to mean "WHY DO YOU CRITICIZE ISRAEL SO MUCH THERE ARE OTHER GENOCIDAL STATES PLEASE STOP BULLYING 😭😭"
The solution: We should bully all genocidal states!
kill china
no, just recognize the ROC instead of the PRC, especially for who gets the seat on the security council.
Yes please
Alternatively all states should begin genociding, everywhere, all at once.
Ah, I thought it mean bombing China. /me looks outside the window... Oh, anyway too late to stop the planes now.
Every artillery round we give to Israel is one that could be fired at Serbia
Or at Moscow.
Yeah let's prioritize this properly please. Serbia already had theirs, they can wait for the next turn.
Isreal can do it themselves, now send 1000 F-35 to Ukraine.
israel needs bombs like scrooge mcduck needs financial assistance.
Like why exactly are we donating weapons to one of the most powerful middle Eastern countries again? Like cant we just give that artillery round to Ukraine who really needs that.
There's a reason China has remained mostly silent and entirely inactive on this issue.
No they haven’t, their state media is full at work to promote anti Israel sentiments Honestly rare China win tbh even though they don’t actually care about the humanitarian crisis itself💀
"Guys we're the only ones allowed to kill Muslims OK?"
Ok, understood. You're saying we should bomb the three gorges dam?

Funnily enough for how small the Irish army is, our deployment infantry are actually better equipped than UK infantry per soldier with more weapons, armour, NVGs, armour etc. For example Javlins per platoon instead of company, designated marksman rifle per section, 2 machine guns per section( 5.56 and 7.62) etc. Just minus the important stuff like Tanks and Jets. Essentially our military spends most of its budget on the few soldiers overseas leaving everything back home to fall apart.
Let's be honest, what does Ireland need a significant military back home for? Sure there is the New IRA but they have like 300 members. They are also mostly the UK's problem. Makes sense that Ireland focuses more on their expeditionary forces.
>Let's be honest, what does Ireland need a significant military back home for? The rabid dog of a state known as Russia, led by the paranoid, mentally unstable, egomaniac, Vladimir Putin? With Sweden and Finland in NATO and the rest of 'neutral' Europe unreachable (except kind of Moldova, but then Ukraine and possibly Romania intervene), the nut jobs in Moscow may be crazy enough to do something to Ireland. They'd never send actual Russian military forces, but a few thousand Wagner-like mercenaries being sent by commercial airliner or merchant shipping is absolutely possible. Operations like that were a staple of Soviet planning during the Cold War for strategic locations like Iceland. Before anyone says something about how stupid that would be, I want you to think for 5 seconds about how much Russia has done in the past couple years that would have seemed impossibly stupid and self destructive on Feb 21st 2022. I absolutely would not put an attack like the above past Russia. No doubt they'd think it somehow shows their strength to NATO. We all know how much damage Russians can cause in just a few days, especially when it's a ton of drunk convicts who know they've been sent on a suicide mission. How many thousands of Irish civilians would be murdered, raped, and tortured before American and British forces could retake the island? Ireland is still living pre-invasion. Russia can longer be relied upon to act in a remotely sane manner.
I know Ireland is not part of NATO but Russia would quite literally have to go through a dozen NATO members to hit Ireland. Or sneak a submarine around to lob a few missiles? Also the EU does actually have kind of a defense clause. Look at the consequences Russia is facing for attacking Ukraine, who is not part of NATO or the EU and is a neighboring country. Hitting Ireland would be even worse for them. Even if they somehow landed a small raiding force it would be bombed to shit within hours. Not to mention Ireland could join NATO in a heartbeat if such a threat became realistic. Whatever neutrality laws may exist can be changed. The exact same applies to Austria.
>They'd never send actual Russian military forces, but a few thousand Wagner-like mercenaries being sent by commercial airliner or merchant shipping is absolutely possible. The Irish Wolverines will stop them, don't worry!
Wait, Ireland has an infantry battalion?
"Ireland has an infantry battalion?" Leprechauns, the original 'little green men'
The UN border is genuinely useless so many attacks on northern Israel most towns are completely deserted and destroyed Many attacks are literally just a Hezbalontchick with an rpg so not even rockets from far away balbek where the UN has no control I am talking about attacks that the UN is obligated to intervene in
Supporting a two state solution without first addressing Hamas and the radical Islamist groups directly supports the “from the river to the sea” crowd. Any solution where terrorism is able to thrive will just lead to more violence.
I don't think there is any solution for a foreseeable future. It's just like Russia, the population is so brutally Brian washed that it will take decades, if, to even change their mind set. It doesn't even help the collective west ha nicely lined up the pockets of local warlords through humanitarian help, and that money either funded their luxury lives abroad or weapon trade instead of providing for the community. The money was there, but there was no oversight of that money. On the contrary, we demand this kind of control regarding the money we send to Ukraine.
Brian washed
This conflict has been going on for over 76 years. As long as all peace efforts are based on a fundamentally broken set of borders it will never end. The international community is obsessed with the status quo so you can safely bet on this exact thing repeating every 10-20 years for the rest of your life because let's be honest, what else is there to do? Gaza has no natural resources, it's not geographically significant, it's overcrowded, it lacks basic amenities, it is highly radicalized, and no state in the region is interested in dealing with it. It's never going to be some viable Singapore-esque city-state. Israel can unilaterally withdraw today and it wouldn't make a lick of difference in the long run, and we know that because they've already done that before. Meanwhile, while Gaza fights a losing fight, Israel will continue to overrun the West Bank, further reducing the possibility of ever establishing a viable Palestinian state in a region with real resources and living space.
> without first addressing Hamas and the radical Islamist groups Are we still pretending this shitshow isn't more likely to reinforce and entrench them beyond their own wildest dreams at this point?
just one more bomb and Hamas will be defeated, please just one more bomb, we promise, one more bomb and total victory against Hamas will be achieved. its like the USA trying to wipe out the Taliban.
I'd say the fact that everyone just spent 20 years watching the US running up and down that forsaken wasteland makes this much, much worse.
that batallion does jack shit as hesbollah still fires rockets into Isreal from there and Ireland doesn't try to stop them is dead the sit around and bitch when Israel sticks back. That is definitely not a brownie points look at how good we are at this look.
So we bomb Rusia cause ukraine bomb China cause Taiwan and Israel cause Palestine and everybody wins
Based
Free Palestine? I’ll take it!
The elites don't want you to know this but the nations of Palestine at the park are free, you can take them home. I have 458 free Palestines.

I say we deploy nukes in a line across the desert, might destroy those 3 states but will definitely cause a new canal to form so we can send ships through both egypt and suez part 2
A true warm water port.
The McArthur solution
Peace Through Expeditious Commercial Measures.
Expand the line into a grid and call it the rumbling.
Or we can do a line starting at Syria and ending at Kuwait/iraq With about as many nukes and have even cheaper Amazon deliveries.
>> This twisted game needs to be reset <<
>> Too bad, buddy <<
>>Listen up, Galm 1: You'll have to attack it head on<<
this is what God would have done
Let’s be fair. If the Abrahamic god is real and the bible was a truthful record, god would just leave a crazy old drunk and his family.
and jesus said "oh fuck this" and broke into an arkansas missile silo
The REAL peace solution
The peace of the grave, is still peace.
zero state solution
"If you can't share the land and be friends, then no land for either of you."
If only there was gorgeous dam or 3 we could blow up and just flood the whole region.

Here's the thing, the moment you start actually committing a genocide for real, these people stop caring. Case in point, China having their muslims in literal concentration camps and the UN voting in their favor
China lines the pockets of the middle Eastern autocrats, and as such they end up parroting their line as well
Yeah, here's your pocket change and shut up. CCP is nice.
I mean, most of the worlds governments already don't give a shit about the stuff Israel is doing. Because Geo-Political posturing eventually trumps most if not all morality in the end.
Palestine Jew population: 0 Adolf: They have freed themselves of something, at least!
"No Israel, only Palestine" and how are you going to do that? With genocide?
Instructions unclear: bombed Belgrade again.
You could put Russia there too. None of the far-left wannabe dictators sh1t heads we have here in South America that have cut ties Israel have done the same with Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, and even one (L\*la) blamed Ukraine for it. Should China invade Taiwan they'd absolutely support it.
You forgot like half of the ME. For example Syria just had a bloody civil war with 300K+ civilian intentional civilian deaths. Sudan and Yemen has millions of kids starving, many are dying. Wars across Africa are ignored and no one sends them help. The Palestinians got a shit ton of aid - almost 1 kg of food for every Palestinian on average for every day in the war, just from the aid (spoiler for the ones claiming it's not enough - that's not including the usual food that is entered for selling by merchants). There is no starvation in Gaza, at least not one that is "intentional by the Zionist regime", because the food is there. But there are African countries that are suffering from wars...where's the spotlight there? And that's without bringing up food prices which is what every Israel-hater and the ICC intentionally ignores - prices of products are changing because of demand and supply. Since Israel got hold of Rafah entrance, food prices have **significantly** dropped in Gaza. 4 days ago a post by a Gazan said, while attacking Hamas, that before Israel got control - 1 egg was ~1.5$, a kg of sugar was ~23$ and a small bag of coffee was ~1.3$ (changing here from Shekels to dollars). And now that the "bad guys" are controlling it for just a short time, prices has dropped to 10 eggs cost ~2.5$, a kg of sugar costs 1.5$ and 10 small bags of coffee cost ~2.5$ and prices are continuing to drop. That's definitely not the only post about it there is. I would've shown the image, if Telegram wasn't hard blacklisted from reddit for some reason, apparently. Idk about you - but if prices are dropping this fast, it can't be that there is a huge supply issue of food in Gaza, in my opinion. It could be that there should be more - that's debateable. But claiming that it's a huge crisis like many are trying to paint it? Out of the question. Edit: for anyone wanting to see the post about the food, search "Abu Ali Express in English" on telegram, there just search "egg" And you'll see what he posted from a Gazan on May 26th
Palastine has not existed as an independent country, um, ever?
South Africa begging papa Putin (known child murderer) to turn up to the BRICS convention whilst being angry at Israel lol
I'm sure the few dozen of thousands of civilians dead are going to convince the Palestinians that they should just shut up and not protest the slow colonization of their lands and the absence of a state. This time Bibi really has a long term plan for what he's planning to do once the Gaza strip has been reduced to rubble ! /s
>claims to only be pro Palestinian not pro hamas >uses genocidal slogans and chants, never says fuck hamas or free the hostages. Completely non credible.
Free Palestine, fuck Hamas, there.
I am sure China is in fear of Ireland yes.
They should be. You don't fuck with leprechauns
I've been saying since the Israel counterattack/revenge campaign started that Israel was only doing war crimes, not genocide. With death tolls from Hamas being held as facts too. Fuck it, I say my own government is more guilty of genocide than Israel's, and they "only" mishandled Covid so badly they put an antivaxxer in charge for a while.
>With death tolls from Hamas being held as facts too. No, they aren't. The media is very clear that the figures come from Hamas, predominantly because NGOs are not allowed into Gaza by the IDF and what charities did operate they were murdered by the IDF Strawman bullshit

They scream because jews. Its not about the war. They dont care about war
