I hope this Jim Sciutto guy doesn't get merked by the IOF like so many other journalists exposing the truth.

Hope he doesn't get put somewhere that the iron dome conveniently isn't working

[-] miz@hexbear.net 44 points 1 week ago

beyond this the IOF have been filmed multiple times strapping wounded Palestinians to the hood of vehicles as literal shields

Normal military hours

Wow... Can't believe they're willing to show that sort of behaviour in the open.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Good. I wish a very rocket to the head to all the Zionists in the area.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago

Always have, it's called conscription.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

It’s always projection.

Follow up tweet

Everyone knows all military facilities must be placed in the middle of a desert with a cartoon target on them and registered with google maps and yelp. Did the IDF not get the memo? I’m seeing several high ranking Israeli military infrastructure inside populated areas

Yah know it would be a funny SciFi book/game concept to have some future where some high authority allowed war but forbade any civilian casualties so now all countries conduct war in this ritualistic way where they have to clearly mark all their bases in isolated places and battle locations had to be preplanned less the orbiting AI kill us all with space lasers.

"We are warning you. If you go down this path - we're going to destroy Alpha Base."

"That would be very foolish. We would respond by destroying your Base Z-12."

"But that would mean..."

The orbiting AI kill us all with space lasers.

That could be in the sequel.

yeah itd be even better if you have all the characters refuse to discuss the elephant in the room and have the viewer wonder why all these military operations are happening in the middle of nowhere

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

have the viewer wonder why all these military operations are happening in the middle of nowhere

In a coincidence - I saw this post just before I saw your comment. - In ukkk kids from young age are prepared for war 😔 - Hexbear. And there's a follow-up tweet

I don't know what's funnier, this or all the signs that say "Sponsored by Northrop Grumman"

Reality is a lot scarier than fiction.

It would probably just evolve into an arms race to make the best SpecOps team to break into the Capitol Buildings (also in a desert) of other countries, but then all countries would keep investing in more elaborate security systems. So soon countries would just end up pitting their SpecOps teams against each other in arenas. Basically we'd end up bringing back Samurai.

It would probably just evolve into an arms race...

To nip that in the bud - the original Star Trek had an episode where war on Eminiar VII and Vendikar was simulated but deaths were real.

A Taste of Armageddon

During a supposed attack by Vendikar, Anan 7 explains that the war is conducted as a computer simulation, and that the Enterprise has been "destroyed" in the attack. The two planets have a treaty, according to which they must kill the "victims" of every simulated attack. The crew are therefore expected to report to Eminiar's disintegration chambers for execution, and Kirk's party is taken captive.

Team Fortress 2

You could also go in another direction with it where war becomes a constant negotiation.
"We would like to bomb your arms manufactories three days from now. In return we will allow you to strike three minor ports or one major with 5 days notice."
"Unacceptable, we will not give you more than two days notice or you can move away too much of the goods in the ports."
"Are you mad? We can't move away all the civilians with just two days notice. 4 days notice, one major port and one minor. Take it or leave it."
"Hmm you drive a hard bargain. You have a deal, but we want favourable terms next meeting"
"Fine, I'll have the mediator take it into account next time. Well, this has been productive. Have a nice day and may you die like the dog you are, swine."
"Thank you and drive safe on your way home on your shitty roads in your terrible country you godcursed cattlefucker."

~~In a coincidence~~ I just posted this - https://hexbear.net/comment/5456275

I guess I have to stop saying "in a coincidence" I'm doomscrolling even when I should be sleeping and the US media has gone mask off about Iran. It's eerily like their post 9/11 behavior. They're baying for blood and war but pretending to be calm, even tempered, and focused on geostrategic goals.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's an episode of Star Trek TOS where they discover a pair of planets that have been at war forever. They have done away with actual physical warfare, since that would damage their infrastructure to unacceptable levels, and instead just simulate the results of bombing and tell each other who died. Everyone who the computer determines dies is notified and then shows up to the war facilities to be disintegrated.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Probably a thing, but military science fiction tends to bore me too much to find out.

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Not to mention in Gaza sending Palestinian civilians ahead of them when walking through rubble, streets, and going into buildings.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

God I read some reddit lemmings crowing about Iran never caring about Palestinian lives because they attacked areas where 40% Palestinians live?

So what is it, you gormless shit? Palestinian lives don’t matter or look what these guys are doing to the Palestinians? What the fuck. Idiots.

[-] Meh@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

What you need to understand is that in the reddit-logo mind, Palestinians don't matter unless they can be instrumentalized to accuse Iran of hypocrisy, which is the real crime.
