Israeli court rules ultra-Orthodox men must be drafted for military service … right before they invade Lebanon.

How many years would his prison sentence have been if he was extradided the year he fled to the embassy? I feel like he would have been out by now. Wasn’t he leaking early Iraq war corruption stuff? That was 20 years ago.

Better than South Korea’s 69 hour work week

Many different u.s. interventions over the years.

Anyone know if who is second in command (or third if second in command is the defense minister?). Iran isn’t one of those countries that has like 5 VPs, right?

You haven’t seen all the hospice brochures? You don’t even have to imagine - it’s like the P.C. version of assisted suicide for old people.

I will never see “Karen conflict” as a joke again.

Biden will do everything up to, but not including, standing up to the military industrial complex to help the people of Gaza.

Forget politics… isn’t EURO vision a EURO-pean contest? I thought Israel was in the middle east. Of course, I’ve never watched it, so maybe India and Australia compete as well.

Israel: “I know you are but what am i?” when responding to claims of genocide.

But it will take some time, we just spent a couple months of build up on the attack this is retaliating to.

3 9/11s down, 12 more to go.

America retaliated to 9/11 by killing 200,000 Iraqis So Iraq had population 0.5% of its population killed (for something it had no responsibility for). So Israel needs to kill 0.5% of Gaza… which is around 4000 people. I guess 15 9/11 mean 15*4000=60,000

Deci-mating is 1 out of every 10 people, so a bit more before Gaza is decimated.

Ah, this choice again.

Do you support dictators or Islamic insurgents? At least this time the insurgents have an army and don’t primarily rely on terrorism, whereas the dictator is accused of genocide.

Get a peace-keeping force made up of Iranians. If missiles are still being shot from Gaza after that, Israel can go to war with Iran and cut out the middle-man.

Biden called it “Ten 9/11s” because of percent of population. I would have called it “0.47 9/11s”, as each human life is equally valid. But as impact on the whole, Oct 7th was a larger percent of the population of the country than 9/11, so it is having a much larger impact with only half as many dead.

I also hope that the numbers that die in retaliation are as low as possible, and percent population numbers gave a smaller needed “revenge” killing. Wish it was zero, but we are, underneath it all, rage-full apes with explosives.

America has a population that is 35 larger than Israel. If America had lost the same percentage of their population as Israel did on Oct 7th, it would be ~49,420 dead, or the equivalence of 16 "9/11"s. That is why Biden said 10 times worse than 9/11.

Iraq currently has a population of 43.5 million. 187k is 0.42% of it’s population. If we do it by percent of population, Gaza has 2 million people, so the retaliation would kill “only” 8,600.

My estimation predicted 88k, with a 63:1 ratio.

1.67 "9/11"s worth of death, in retaliation for 0.47 "9/11"s worth of dead on Oct 7th.

Or, with 9/11= 2977 and the Iraq war killing 187,000 civilians, we get a ~63:1 misplaced retaliation vs. initial attack ratio. So the one could extrapolate from the 1400 dead on Oct 7th that 88,200 innocent people in Gaza will need to be killed to quench the IDF’s rage.
