    Israel is also an aggressive, dishonest, genocidal ethnostate, supplied by the most overgrown military apparatus in human history.

    Citizens in Israel and the U.S. have an obligation to change our governments and societies for the sake of the entire world. Until then, pearl-clutching over justified blowback deserves no sympathy.

    Well, sucks to start a war without the necessary means.

      We’ve had quite a recent history of nations thinking they will have a quick, easy offensive and be done with it.

    They decided to start a war knowing their defensive tools were already critically low… Was the plan really all just hubris thinking Iran would just rollover in 24 hours? Even a child playing a FPS knows to reload their weapon before going on the attack.

    Forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t part of the Christian Nationalists crazy view about armagedon is that Israel gets blown up? I think that is part of the plan.

                  That’s awesome; I like the descriptor! They are made by boiling the dough briefly then baking

                  I might have to use that from now on. What’s your language if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

              It’s basically bread with a hole in the middle, like a donut. Yummy, but nothing spectacular.

      Palestinians have amazing gastronomy. learn to cook some of their stuff. I make about 20kg of pittas and hummus every week for a mutual aid and costs me about 8$ per week. their food is amazing and cheap as fuck.

        Excellent suggestion. I’ve been meaning to try something new. Thai and Italian is starting to get boring after 20 years.

          not gatekeeping, just advice, get the best olive oil you can, ideally from a shop you can taste it. And good zaatar is hard to find, avoid any from Walmart spice rack, chances are they replaced the actual zaatar herb (Hyssop in English) with oregano. Most of their food are cheap ingredients so those two key ingredients are important.

          if you try Palestinian cooking with low quality oil and oregano instead of zaatar you’ll get something that tastes nothing like it’s meant to taste that.

            Good advice. :)

            Luckily its easy for me to avoid Walmart, I think the closest one is several thousand kilometers away. :D And I’m already a snob about olive oil so I got that one covered as well :) IIRC, theres a middle-east specialized spice/food shop fairly near me, I’ll go check their selection.

      Evidently if you put an egg, butter and a slice of american cheese in ramen, its magical tasting or something. Sounds like trash to me but worth a try. Unfortunately this is a NYT recipe and you end up going to archive.ph 3 times to read it (eff you, NYT). but its the most american thing ever.

    Wow, they didn’t stop to check that before starting a war? That seems ill advised.

    Americans are running low on jobs, food, money, health care, education, legal due process, civil rights, and now self respect. A lot of which is due to zionists effing everything up. I hope they have zero interceptors and have to pursue peace instead.

      The amount of money that we have wasted at the behest of Israel is staggering. Trillions of dollars. Every single dollar stolen from our people, to advance the interests of an ‘ally’ who has literally attacked our soldiers.

        It’s not wasted, it’s USAs forward military base, and an invaluable attraction for religious fanatics.

        We knew very well that the countries defined by the super powers after WWII would always be in conflict. They were designed that way purposefully, tribes were split apart and mortal enemies were mixed together very carefully to boost conflict.

        Like the post office, this government service is costly. BUT it’s only costly for the taxpayers, you see, it’s fantastic business for the military industrial complex and their investors. Guess who provides loans to those same businesses?

        It is a mystery, back to work

    So, basically attacking a country that has been preparing for this war for 20 years might turn out to bite them in the ass?
