One wonders if there is some inherent darwinism at play here. Having been enslaved and/or attacked for thousands of years, perhaps having that ability has aided survival. Every culture has been exposed but perhaps not as persistently and aggressively as has been subjected upon the Jewish.

Not a lotta boom.

What ability?

Not at all consistent with the munitions the IAF has been turning whole buildings into rubble with. Only a fool would believe they were responsible at this point.

Immediately the Gaza health authority, which is controlled by Iranian backed terrorist organization Hamas, claimed the hospital was attacked by an Israeli airstrike and that "hundreds" were dead. None of that was true.

Daylight. The Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza still stands. Local footage shows all buildings intact. There are no rescue workers pulling bodies from rubble. There are no bodies. There is no rubble.

Yet my own company put out a bulletin stating, "...the risk of violent protests has increased following a recent attack on a hospital in Gaza." [emphasis added]

BULLSHIT!!!!! Just more propaganda from the Leftards to sway public opinion. OF COURSE nothing will be redacted/retracted when the TRUTH above comes out. Damn!!! That pisses me off to no end...

Be that as it may, Hilton just got added to my "DO NOT BUY/USE" list which includes

I'm typing from a Hilton hotel right now.

It's entirely possible this conference was booked months ago with little fan fare and the hotel management didn't bother to understand the content/context of the event organizer.

Once Hamas killed innocents in this recent massacre, then a bright light was shown on all of those who support Hamas and their fellow travelers. Hilton caught wind of this group out of Houston and, with public pressure, decided to cancel the reservation.

I'm going to give the local Hilton management the benefit of the doubt in this case. Ultimately they did the right thing and within a reasonable timeframe in my estimation. YMMV

And yet, the lie is out there and will be repeated forever, all of it blamed on Israel, and this will serve as a counter to the atrocities committed by Hamas in their invasion of Israel.

Utterly infuriating

Pushing the lie.

It will be told over and over again on college campuses and terrorist recruiting videos for decades.

The squad will scream it in defense of terrorists with crocodile tears rolling down their cheeks.

According to the IDF, it was the Islamic Jihad and not Hamas who fired the rocket that malfunctioned and fell into the hospital parking lot. Islamic Jihad is the second largest terrorist group operating out of the Gaza Strip. They are supported by Hezbollah which in turn is supported by Iran.

Different group, but their aim is also the destruction of Israel.

This just underscores the problem faced by the IDF. They are trying to combat more than one armed group which are mixed in with roughly two million non-combatants.

I see some coverage of the left wing rioters invading the Capital in support of the terrorists and a few arrested on the Fox News website. Zero coverage on CNN's page, not even a link or a mention at this point.

Kind of hard to rationalize those 20+ year sentences against this stuff so I guess they don't want any attention drawn to the double standard.

Israeli tanks mobilized outside Gaza have been adapted with overhead cages to protect against attack drones, a safety modification widely used in Ukraine that appears to be proliferating in a new conflict, analysis by The Washington Post shows.

Imagery from the coastal city of Ashkelon shows several tanks outfitted with metal canopies over their hatches. The hardened protective screens, sometimes called “cope cages,” act as a barrier from aerial strikes, causing explosives to detonate before they can seriously damage the vehicles or harm their crew members.

The protective measure, some analysts say, appears to have been implemented by Israel’s military after Hamas, during its surprise attack Oct. 7, used armed commercial drones to target soldiers and armored vehicles. Israeli leaders have signaled they are preparing to launch a ground offensive aimed at destroying the militant group, a campaign that experts in urban warfare have warned could cause immense suffering and, according to one former U.S. official, quickly become “a bloodbath for everybody.”

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has spawned a modern war laboratory, with militaries around the world studying how equipment and doctrine are being tested in a large-scale conflict far removed from the counterinsurgency wars that the United States and its allies waged in Afghanistan and Iraq over much of the past quarter-century.
The Ukraine conflict has underscored, for instance, the perils of inadequate artillery production and the folly of using large, fixed command posts that can be readily targeted. One of the most significant developments from that battlefield, though, stems from the widespread use of weaponized drones, which in turn has led to defensive adaptations in the form of nets, cages and canopies.

The use of shields can save armored vehicles from heavy damage if properly installed, but their effectiveness depends on the type of craft used in an attack, said Samuel Bendett, a drone expert at the Center for Naval Analyses, a policy institute based in Arlington, Va.

They protect better, he said, against quadcopters that drop small munitions, such as the drones Hamas used in attacks against Israeli forces. They are less useful against cheaply made racing drones that are more maneuverable. Such weapons have been used recently to target Russia’s Wagner mercenaries in Sudan. A talented pilot, Bendett said, “can get around the gaps in the cages and armor.”

It is unclear whether Hamas has acquired such technology, known as first-person-view — or FPV — drones.

The protective screens would be of limited use against weapons like rocket-propelled grenades, if fired down on Israeli vehicles from high buildings within Gaza.

Sonny Butterworth, a senior analyst at the defense intelligence firm Janes, said shields act as a buffer intended to prematurely detonate an explosive, disable warheads used on some rocket-propelled grenades or, in the case of drone-dropped grenades, cause the weapon to simply roll off the vehicle before it strikes weaker armor or fall into an open hatch.

Cage-type protections have been used for decades. In Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. forces installed “slat armor” around certain vehicles to force rocket-propelled grenades to explode before striking the main plating. Israel has used the same type of armor on its vehicles.

Russian forces used protective screens on vehicles before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, likely after watching the impact that attack drones had in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, said Rob Lee, a Russia military expert and a senior fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

In the early months of the war in Ukraine, Russian troops turned to the cages to combat the devastating effects of U.S.-provided Javelin missiles, which are most effective when they fly vertically and hit tanks from the top, where armor is the thinnest.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Wednesday a humanitarian zone is being created in southern Gaza where international aid will be provided to offer shelter and comfort to fleeing civilians.

After days of negotiations with Egypt, the U.S. and others to create a safe zone for fleeing Gazans, the Times of Israel reports the IDF decided to act.

The IDF says Palestinians should go to a humanitarian zone in the Al-Mawasi area, close to Khan Younis, where “international humanitarian aid will be provided as needed.”

I would hope they would use biometric scanners and data gathering (like the crap we left to the Taliban) to help see if any known Hamas are blending in there.

There will be shit tons of enemy blending into those groups extracting themselves from combat affects. AND, the resources that will be sent there will be stolen and siphoned off into enemy hands. AND, for the gazans that are given this aid, they will hate Israelis now and into the future even more than they already had, and will breed a whole new crop of terrorists scum. Giving free shit to the enemy always turns against the giver. They should do the cost-benefit analysis now: Ok, for every one million dollars in relief, we will lose exactly how many innocents over the next xx years ? Giving free shit to evil and stupid people always increases the stupid and evil. Humans don't appreciate free shit, they only appreciate the stuff they legitimately earn with their own two hands.

The IDF just released this video of the opening attacks by the terrorist. Its eye opening.

Correction

may have already been posted, but I think this is the clearest video of the hit on the hospital parking lot

https://twitter.com/i/status/1714367757968384106

watch the intensity of the fire as camera zooms in

14 sec in, some arabic appears at the top of the screen ??

for a reference point, at the beginning of the video there is a white bldg w a light shining at the bottom of the screen, a little to the left of center

later, right after the hospital parking lot hit, the camera zooms out and the building w the light is still in view

People, actually, Israelis, are protesting here in the US Capital building for a ceasefire in Gaza/Isreal.

Please get your asses OUT THERE! Go to Gaza where your voices will be heard! Go tell them OVER THERE that THEY need to stop shooting!

Don't cry in the safety of this country that can't really control something thousands of miles away! Head on over, get on the other side of the wall, and bitch away! I'm sure you'll be welcome with open arms!
