I don’t know if it’s true, but I do know that the Israelis always always lie about who they kill and consistently spread propaganda to demoralize their enemies. I’m not doing their job for them, and I don’t think you should either.

A lot of dooming in this thread. Nasrallah is a massive loss, he’ll be missed and honoured as a true hero. But we’re really missing the forest for the trees here. What’s next for Israel? What wins do they even have left? What happens when tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and every day after that, when the rockets keep flying into northern Israel, when the settlers are still unable to return to their homes, when the residents of Haifa keep running for cover? Nasrallah has already won, the decline of the entity is baked in. There’s nothing for them to do but death, death at a mass scale, but none of it changes the game. Hezbollah will keep pounding the Israelis, and a thousand Nasrallahs wait in the ranks. Leaders are important, but when the people have resolve you cannot stop them. If you need some hope today watch The Battle of Algiers, it shows how even if you kill everybody, you eliminate all the leaders, you cannot kill the movement. You cannot win.

Bruv you’re actually posting Hasbara propoganda on Hexbear unironically. Please reevaluate.

No real way to know until Hezbollah puts out a statement. One way or another we’re waiting. Best to prepare yourself for the worst and be joyful if otherwise.

Our beloved mayor has been indicted for taking bribes from Turkish officials. 2024 is such a wild timeline. Adams is a piece of shit, basically his entire staff has already resigned because the FBI kept raiding their homes, and he’s still pledging not to resign. Pretty hilarious stuff.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Thursday on charges that he took illegal campaign contributions and bribes from foreign nationals, including lavish overseas trips, in exchange for favors that included helping Turkish officials bypass a fire inspection for a new diplomatic tower in the city.

Adams, a Democrat and former police captain, faces conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges in a five-count indictment outlining a decade-long trail of corruption that began when he served as an elected official in Brooklyn and continued through his mayoral administration.

Marxism is not incompatible with Islam, you don’t need to be an atheist to be a Marxist.

Yeah I think the French Resistance is definitely the most overhyped that actually ended up doing fuck all

That’s actually not true. Specifically the Yugoslav Resistance headed by Tito and the communists was incredibly effective. They had liberated parts of Yugoslavia by 1944 without any Allied help, and tied down significant German and Italian regiments that would’ve been deployed elsewhere. The Italian partisan movement helped to move Italy into all out civil war, collapsing the Italian state and forcing the Nazis to create the rump state of the RSI, again tying down a bunch fo German divisions and helping the allied advance. Sure like the French resistance didn’t really do shit but there were significant resistance movements that did materially contribute to the defeat of the Nazis.

I think it’s more of an image thing. Obviously some random UN organized “pro-democracy meeting” is not going to achieve anything of note.

USNS Big Horn

Imagine naming one of your naval ships after the very famous battle where an entire US Army cavalry regiment got wiped by Sitting Bull in an extremely embarrassing and total defeat.

Death to “Israel”, may your family remain safe amongst all that is coming.

Panahi worked under Kiarostami so you know kind of what to expect. And glad you enjoyed it!! Becomes better every re-watch imo

Would that mean Palestine can Article 5 Israel? Pretty lit. God tier posting right here.

Absolutely love the work of Jafar Panahi. No Bears was phenomenal, and I love Panahi’s stubborn refusal to stop making movies but also not live abroad; dude clearly loves Iran.

They can disappear and bleed Israel dry though, just like in 2006. Israel cannot tolerate large losses of personnel, Hezbollah can.

As we’ve seen in Ukraine, territory isn’t what matters in war, it’s destroying your enemies resources to fight. Hezbollah will certainly follow that kind of strategy.
