Israel and the US are deeply coordinated on Iran. Any indication about progress or lack of progress in talks or preparation to strike - are coordinated to set conditions for a favorable outcome in a new deal. In the presence of overwhelming and contradictory chatter, measure only through action.

Interesting indeed. Did you ask if they choose Trophy, will they go to Rafael directly or through EuroTrophy?

Nahal Brigade (of 162nd division) exiting J&S and redeoploying to Gaza. Around Gaza. Multiple Namers, one Merkava, one Ofek command vehicle. And the cope cages are back.

It's also interesting to see Trophy taking a chunk of the market here, with Iron Fist already being fielded and established in the low SWaP category which some might consider more suitable here.

You try to win arguments. But you didn't notice you lost in the most important aspect: Education. What good is it to win an argument if you know nothing, and only convince others of that?

Which of these are you getting whiny about then? I'm working right now, I'm not conquering anything. "Bully". Damn what a beta language. Grow a pear. Maybe you should what?

Africa, Ukraine-Russia, Pakistan-India are likely heading there, Gaza, Syria (since 2011), Iraq, and China threatens to do it in Taiwan. The entire GWOT saw military occupation across the middle east. In 2005 Israel withdrew from Gaza and handed it over to the PA. Learn history before commenting here. Otherwise you'll end up like old goat. What makes Israel special? What's their one defining trait that separates them from the rest of the world? Say it. Tell me who (((they))) are.

Ok and? Fact - wars result in territorial exchange in 2025. Fact - This is an Israel/Palestine thread, a topic in which territorial exchange hasn't happened since 2005, when Israel lost territory. Make a point or move to another thread. Yes I can imagine, and what's your point?

It's more of a recommendation than obligation. If a nation does not respect its own borders that it attacks another, then it doesn't deserve the other party's respect for its territorial integrity. Or in other words - Fuck around and find out. What about this guy? I know.

Palestinians are a nation, yes. You could also refer to Gazans as a nation since they have their own government, territory, and are pretty much a state in every aspect. I'm a Zionist and I definitely don't want the world to return to pre-1945 norms. Every person I know is a Zionist and they don't want that either. We're a very progressive people, looking forward, not backward. And although we don't like being tied to old traditions, we certainly remember that pre-1945 and post-1939 are precisely where millions of our nation were killed. So saying we want that, is an incredibly stupid idea. Also to refer to post-1945 as a world without military conquests is also factually wrong. Yes WW2 was unique in the scope of military conquest as pretty much an entire continent was conquered, but military conquests never stopped in the last 80 years. They're very much a real thing in every part of the world. Nor has there ever been a point in time between 1945-2025 when military conquests were considered immoral. Case 1: LOAC+IHL are considered the highest moral standard for war and they don't ban, but rather facilitate military conquests. That is, they set legal and practical frameworks for what to do in conquered areas, and relationships between conqueror and conquered. Case 2: Koreas - a war in the Koreas effectively set the borders between 2 new nations. Case 3: India-Pakistan - several wars were fought in the context border territory between 1947 and until today. Case 4: Africa is in the process of multiple armed conflicts involving frequent transition of territorial control. Case 5: Venezuela's threat to occupy Guyana. Case 6: Russian-European war involving mostly Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory, as well as ongoing occupation of parts of Finland and Poland-Lithuania (Kaliningrad). We Zionists are very much opposed to military conquest of our own. The surrounding populations are hostile and we have no intention of assimilating anyone. However we are even more opposed to attempts of conquest against us, from our war of independence against half the Arab world in 1947, to the Gazan attempt to occupy Israeli cities surrounding Gaza and what possibly might have been a line through Be'er Sheva, on October 7th 2023. We are not weaklings. When attacked, we fight back. And we thank our enemies for giving us buffer zones to set up strategic depth in case they try something in the future.

Any nation that is defined by a unifying aspect that allows it to be classified as a nation. Typical unifiers are language, culture, religion, shared history, and of course geographical concentration.

Unironically, yes. Do you have a right to education if you vote for an anti-education authority? Do you have a right to security if you vote for an authority that dismantles security mechanisms? On a grander scale - Does a nation that started a war and lost it, have a right to remain intact and pay no price? This also guides current US-EU politics: "Why would we (USA) invest resoueces desperately needed by INDOPACOM, into EUCOM, when Europe doesn't even take its own security seriously?"

Wooden Merkava 1 mockup may be gone.

Fires are raging in forests around Jerusalem. They've reached the Tank Museum in Latrun and there's fear the museum and its items could be damaged.

Although on camera it looks a lot like a mini Beirut explosion, I'm gonna wager they're nothing alike. In 2020 Lebanon was already neck deep in financial and political crises. The explosion had less a practical, more of a demoralizing effect. What remained of the government called quits shortly after and none could or even wanted to form a government. Iran is not like Lebanon's parody on democracy. Its leadership's top priority is to persevere. Yes, Bandar Abbas is their biggest port. But they'll quickly rebuild. Even Houthis managed to resume trade while munching grass.
