JDHillFan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Nice job Brandon. Another success on the world stage. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/09/middleeast/airdrops-gaza-israel-us-explainer-intl/index.html But the UN and aid agencies have questioned how effective they will be at alleviating the situation, and their risks were shown starkly on Friday when malfunctioning parachutes caused aid pallets to hurtle from the sky at breakneck speed, killing five unsuspecting civilians. But despite this advantage, aid agencies say their drawbacks overwhelmingly outweigh their benefits. “Humanitarian workers always complain that airdrops are good photo opportunities but a lousy way to deliver aid,” Richard Gowan, the International Crisis Group’s UN Director said. The UN special rapporteur for food, Michael Fakrhi says airdrops usually culminate in chaos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The truth eventually comes out. Also this pier that’s supposed to be built to “help provide aid to enter Gaza” will ultimately be used by Israel to help them move all that natural gas they’re gonna steal. Watch. That’s the real purpose for the pier. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3702071/dod-to-construct-pier-to-deliver-humanitarian-aid-to-gaza/ 8 hours ago, B-Man said: Equating Hamas with the Germans and Japan huh? This is laughable on so many levels. I’m not even going to get into the whys. If you can’t see that on your own you’re helpless. The only thing I agree with here is Hamas should give up the hostages and surrender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hezbollah Ramps Up Ramadan Attacks; Biden Hardest Hit ? So much for that strange demand that Israel observe Ramadan during its war against Hamas and other Islamist terror networks. Hezbollah has 'celebrated' Ramadan by increasing the pace of its attacks in the north of Israel, ramping up the intensity of both sides. Overnight, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at Israel, prompting another round of answering attacks on their positions: Consider Hezbollah's explanation an example of the Mom He Hit Me Back! genre of spin. Hezbollah has launched rockets at northern Israel since the start of the Gaza operation, clearly wanting to divert some of Israel's defenses to its north to slow down the offensive against Hamas in the south. It has worked to some degree but not nearly enough, as Hamas' rapid collapses in Gaza City and Khan Younis proved. The attacks on Bekaa on Monday came as retaliation for attacks by Hezbollah, and so on ad infinitum, or at least ad October 7. At any rate, this makes hash of Joe Biden's arguments for a Ramadan pause. Iranian proxy Hezbollah isn't observing a Ramadan 'pause'; they're not bothering to ask for one, either. In the first place, Islamic nations and terror networks don't observe this holiday with peaceful interludes in conflicts, and even more to the point, they don't respect anyone else's religious days of observance in their attacks either. In fact, they like to use Israel's holy days in particular as propitious dates for attacks, both for reasons of religious supremacy but also for better surprise against a presumably less-prepared foe. That includes the October 7 attacks by Iran's other proxy terror network, Hamas. .https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/03/12/hezbollah-ramps-up-ramadan-attacks-biden-hardest-hit-n3784525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 73 war, Yom Kippur, was launched against Israel on the occasion of the religious holiday Yom Kippur, knowing that the IDF, largely reservists, would be celebrating the religious holiday. Additionally, it was known in the Arab world as the Ramadan War, taking place on the tenth day of the Ramadan month. Total nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was precision bombing in WW2 practiced by the 8th Army Air Force.

He joked that they were lucky to hit the city the target resided in. Not sure if that was true or him just being him. National Museum of the United States Air Force - Enabling Technologies —by the end of the war, about 50% of the bombs dropped visually hit within 1,000 feet of the target.
