Let's not undersell the influence of MIC Jingocon bullshit. [rofl] Is Israel a beneficiary? sure... but at any one given time its a bit player.

See? This is the beauty of tactics like these. It becomes a kind of placebo effect: ANYTHING in that region that has any problems now? They're going to assume Mossad snapped its fingers and made it happen.

Brilliant, really. Diabolical.

Yes, that might be an inert training prop, but you are correct - if a soldier's buddy's AK blows up in his face and he filled his mags from the same can as the buddy, then he's got a real dilemma on his hands as does the rest of the platoon.

I read a book by some SF guy in Vietnam. They were putting rigged AK rounds into NVA stockpiles even back then. It would cause the gun to blow up in their faces and it was mainly a psychological warfare thing for the reason you mentioned.

The ROI on supporting Israel with money and bombs is not worth the actual price we pay in the middle east, IMO.

The money we give Israel and Ukraine would be better ROI taking care of Vets that got maimed in war by us indirectly supporting Israel.

I watched a video where some Jewish dude was interviewing Hasidic Jews in NYC. He was asking them if OUR ground troops should get involved in their territorial war over there. 90% of them said yes, they have no problem with OUR boys getting sent to die for THEIR cause while they kick back in relative safety of our borders. If they felt so strongly about it, THEY should go over and fight.

F all that shit.

The interviewer should have also asked the Hassidic Jew what he thought of Israel ending it's draft exemption for ultra orthadox Jews. It's like taxes - all is fine as long as we are talking about someone else paying.

I did not know there are a class of people that were exempt from military service in Israel, that's kinda bs.
 
I can’t believe I read this in WSJ’s editorial pages:

”Bye-ku for More Hezbollahists

The hint they ignored:

All those equipment labels

With “Smotorola.”

It goes back to the founding of the state of Israel, where there was worry that WWII and its fallout had gutted a significant portion of the religious scholar-class, and they wanted to build that up.

Problem is, the ultra-orthodox have a lot of kids, that are also ultra-orthodox, so you have an increasing percentage of exempt persons. That's why they changed the laws.

Note: this is an American gentile's understanding of the situation.

So is a Jewish person in the US with dual citizenship exempt from mandatory military service?

Didn't used to be.

I knew a guy in my high school who had dual citizenship (this was many, many years ago now). He made the mistake of visiting his grandparents in Israel when his conscription number came up, and off to the IDF he went. He served as a combat medic in Lebanon, then came back to the US to finish up his high school career as a 20-year-old senior.

That quick visit to his grandma lasted about two years. If he hadn't been in Israel at that time, he probably would have been fine as long as he stayed away; it's not like the Israelis ever came here and kidnapped duals to be in the IDF.

I figured if their country called they, they would go without having to be kidnapped.

I guess I am saying that a very high percentage of Jews in the US agree with us supporting Israel with money, bombs and politicians who keep furthering it, that they would also die for their country if called.

Oh we already know the answer.

I had had a prominent Hasidic Rabbi call the police on me and make their foreign slave maid swear she saw me break a window because I bitched at them for making my girlfriend babysit 5 offspring for 12 hours on a weekend for a single loaf of Montreal challah. Even the cops knew it was bullshit. f*** those a**h***s…

No. If they show their face in Israel, they will have to serve.

This is correct. When our Jewish LE org traveled to Israel in 1989, one of the tour guides was a dual citizen and he had to serve and thus had to leave the tour while we were there.
 
At this point they can't trust anything reasonably new. Old or even second hand electronics must be getting a premium now across the region.
Who would want to use any recently purchased radio/phone/laptop/alarm clock?

All those dusty electronics that have sat around are getting cleaned up and put back into service.
