Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya holds a ceremonial rank in Hamas which has nothing to do with combat duties. By comparison Israeli reservists hold very real ranks in the IDF, which they keep even when they're off duty.
If Safiya's Hamas rank is enough to justify his being held and tortured by Israel, then the Nova festival goers' IDF ranks justified their being eliminated by Hamas, no? For example:
▪️Staff Sergeant Avraham Neriya Cohen (20 years old) — An off-duty soldier from Jerusalem who helped plan and work on the production team for the Supernova festival.
▪️Staff Sergeant Aner Shapira (22 years old) — An active-duty soldier in the Nahal Infantry Brigade on a weekend leave to attend the festival.
Why people bureaucratically associated with Hamas who never held a weapon in their hands are legitimate targets, while actual reserve soldiers are not, is beyond me.
@chineseyakub@doomernat22@methadvocate Yes the south of Lebanon which has no official border and is a literal war zone. If you go to Beyrouth and non Shia majority areas and cities it’s a power share between Maronite Aoun and Sunni Salam
@WHE_Reborn Most of the army are 18-19 yr olds receiving insane amounts of authority and zero parental oversight it’s the more civilized version of a subsaharan child soldier
I remember in Taliban jail this commander would torture members of Isis downstairs and break their fingers with their hammer.
Then the same commander would see me in my cell and be like this because I told funny dad jokes
@Jud30Supr3macy@HdmgG26453@historian_turk Nobody cares about Nasser he’s a loser , if you’re genuinely honest you have to admit Anwar Sadat fucked Israel by surprising its military , forcing it to kick Sinai settlers and reclaiming it fully without any caveats , something no previous Arab state has done
Tunisia spends 13% of GDP on public wages — among the highest on earth.
Tunisia Barely produces enough energy for itself, yet has one of the region’s highest energy subsidy burdens.
They’re genuinely trying to run a Scandinavian welfare model with Haiti’s capital accumulation
