In a separate attack, exploding walking-talkies kill 14

They aren’t leading us to WW3. Israel is.

DEFCON 3 is a military alert level that indicates a heightened state of readiness, two steps from war. It’s the highest level of alert during peacetime.

According to Air & Space/Smithsonian, as of 2022, the U.S. DEFCON level has never been more severe than DEFCON 3. The DEFCON 2 levels in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and 1991 Gulf War applied only to the U.S. Strategic Air Command (SAC).

September 11 attacks

During the September 11 attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld ordered the DEFCON level be increased to 3, and also a stand-by for a possible increase to DEFCON 2. It was lowered to DEFCON 4 on September 14.

Which date was the closest we ever came to nuclear war?

27 October 1962 - At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet patrol submarine B-59 almost launched a nuclear-armed torpedo while under harassment by American naval forces.

Yes, Biden/Harris has moved us closer to nuclear war. This is the longest we have ever been on Defcon 3. It is believed we went to Defcon 3 on April 16, 2021, and are still at Defcon 3. Our enemies are backing Harris.

The Biden/Harris open boarders have allowed millions of people in the US and we don’t know if they are friendly or setting up to attack us from within.

Example.

Biden reiterated that USA fully supports israel. There are no redlines when it comes to what Israel will do with biden pretending the crossing into rafah a case it pointuSA are desperate for regime change in iran in russia in china. It wants a wider war through it proxies and allies to maintain empire and a colonial israel fits in this agenda

take your time typing there rizzo. Can’t interpret this

And still no accounting of the ongoing terrorist actions that get very little news or condemnation.

That is the way of misdirection. Take a single piece of news and blame the woes of the world on the US.

Lets list a few terrorist attacks starting in the 1980’s

much, much more:

Can we address these religious crimes against humanity, before we start throwing mud around and see what sticks to get the terrorists off the hook?

Regardless, Israel is leading the attacks, so therefore they will be the ones starting WW3 if anyone does.

Would you stop? No one is trying to get terrorists off the hook. I’ve been watching video of the bombs raining down on Israel for three nights now. Trump is running on anti-terrorism. Who is not reporting this that should be?

OK, where are the posts identifying terrorist attacks being responsible for this continued madness?

I posted a few reliable articles and you accuse me of trolling.

p.s. only terrorists use walkie-talkies .

Israel planted explosives in Hezbollah’s Taiwan-made pagers, say sources.

You don’t get to tell others what to post. There are millions of things going on in the world that don’t get posted here

I am not telling anybody what to post. I posed a question.

Are you telling me I cannot post questions?

No. Not to tell what to post.

Death toll in Lebanon from israel terrorist attacks thus far is 2000 civilians

Did you read my post of ~50,000 civilians killed by Islamists?

between 1979 and May 2021, at least 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks took place worldwide, causing the deaths of at least 210,138 people.
The main target of these attacks is the military (31.7%), followed by civilians (25.0%) … (post # 126)

I believe that is worth mentioning in the greater landscape of the situation

Don’t be weird. Questions have implications. They sometimes imply that you are making a request. Sometimes “asking a question” is really “questioning a person”. You did the latter.

You said, (not asked)

Which I did not understand because the Iran to Hamas connection is in mainstream news and Israel is covered with reporters. Then you did this, in the form of a question:

But, look at that second part, that’s not a question, that’s an accusation, that “we” are throwing mud around and trying to get terrorists off the hook. No one is doing that. The others on this thread besides you are looking at the actions of two violent states and at the history of how this intractable war came to be, and looking at the power dynamics, international law, how the people with the weapons got elected, and a lot of other factors. You do not address most of that. You focus on Israel’s right to exist. That is not the whole story.

Yes, just a newsflash, but I hear no condemnation of random bombing by Hamas or Iran, targeting Israeli civilians.
That condemnation is reserved for Israel bombing Palestine civilians, which is not Israel’s target.

Here is one example.

Yes, in response to Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon, displacing 70,000 Israelis from No. Israel. When was this common knowledge? I had to dig it up on the internet, not public news.

Now Israel is going to respond to Iran’s missile attack and it won’t be pretty.
It’s simple. If you attack Israel, you will suffer dire consequences. Learn the lesson.

Just a fact about the Jewish population.

As of December 2023, the Jewish population of Israel is approximately 7,208,000 people, or 73.2% of the country’s total population. This makes Israel the country with the largest Jewish population in the world.

Jewish population of the United States is 5,700,000.

But the connected US population of Jewish people is 8,000,000.

What is a connected population?

AI Overview - The “Jewish connected” population in the United States refers to a broader group of people who identify as Jewish, including those who are partially Jewish, have a Jewish parent, or were raised in both Judaism and another religion.

You are twisting the idea of what “news” is. News is almost always about what just happened, and it has to be something out of the ordinary. War in the Mideast has been going on for decades, but lately, it’s heating up, so it’s on every night. Totalling up what has happened over time would be for a documentary, or news magazine format. That’s not “digging it up”, that’s how reporting is done.

I would like it if they reported the number of people who died of starvation every day. Or the total number who died in some country since some recent famine. But they don’t do that. I don’t blame the media or call anyone crass or anything else because they aren’t constantly tallying up dead children.

And Rizzo is a troll. That should be obvious.

Yes israel responding to hezbollahs response

Khamenei has announced he will lead Friday prayers, that’s tomorrow for those lacking a calendar. IMO, that’s bait for the Zionists. Those watching with their eyes open and not blinded by NPR/Ny Times BS understand Iran’s capabilities and Zionist indefensibility. Zionist recon into Lebanon was a failure. The same problem of concentrating forces that exists in Ukraine also exists in northern Occupied Palestine where battalion sized forces are too weak while larger formations are very vulnerable. Hezbollah has observation drones acting as its ISR, meaning there’s no real place to hide just as with Ukraine. For example, the only way Russia was able to take the small fortress town of Ugledar was by encirclement as all its previous assaults were repelled with heavy losses. The Zionists lack the means to do the same in South Lebanon while the target area is just as formidable–even more so as the hills and mountains are much better shields than Ugledar’s high-rise apartments which could be reduced by FAB-3000s.

It would be nice to know how much of the IAF’s potential was defeated by Iran’s strikes. There sc one pic depicted only one hanger within a row of them destroyed whereas the whole block needed to be targeted. Of course, that’s only one pic out of dozens that need to be seen. Ordinance stores hit are also of prime importance for the planes are no good without bombs to deliver. I’ll assume Zionist missiles are also stored in similar areas of the desert and were also targeted.

To what?.. :face_with_monocle:
