Words fail, so here are two sites I’ve come across, thanks to Citizen Free Press, which give a fulsome picture of the war so far.
First is via Thread Reader, and someone who labels himself The Eternal Optimist. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1710912105267032294.html
Second is a Military Summary video:
I also recommend this VDH twitterX post, to attempt to think about what the Iran/Hamas war-aims are here, besides the aim of death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death. Death for Israel, death for civilians, death for our Gazan slave population.
Of course I stand with Israel.
Of course I stand against the death-cult with a slave-state Hamas.
Of course standing against the latter is NOT AT ALL comparable to standing against Putin’s Russia and its invasion of Ukraine. Russia is a civilized nation under despotic government, but one with wide popular support. We can have arguments that matter about Russian or Ukrainian forces committing atrocities—how many, who has committed more, etc. Even in a less-reported-on war like the one Ethiopia underwent recently, atrocity-accusations matter. Both sides committed some, but did one commit more? Legitimate questions. With Hamas, however, the very term “atrocity” is meaningless: their methods of war are essentially indistinguishable from the methods of serial killers.
Hamas’ Gaza, to repeat, is a ideocratic slave-state: the Palestinians there are an enslaved, impoverished, and constantly indoctrinated population ruled by death-cult maniacs easily as murderous—if they had the capability—as the Nazis or the Khmer Rouge.
But the question is how these attacks were successful against one of the most technologically and militarily advanced nations in the world, and who really orchestrated the attacks. Of course Hamas is evil and of course Palestinian indoctrination makes possible such vehement enmity. But Israel may be complicit. At the very least we need to be able to ask the question and consider the possibility of a false flag event, like 9/11: https://richardgage911.substack.com/p/israels-911-moment?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=486716&post_id=137794312&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=jtigq&utm_medium=email
