Even extremely hot lasers, you have to keep trained on a single spot to have them burn through anything. The idea that you could reliably do this on a spinning, flying rocket in realtime seems pretty incredible.
Laser beams are also generally easily defeated by fog or smoke or clouds, which is already abundant in any warzone but which could surely be easily added as a countermeasure.
If these things work at all, there are likely many caveats.
The coverage about this is so infuriating.
Where is the US coverage? WTF?
I'm so fucking sick of the Zionist doomscreaming about the 'right to exist' when it actually means the right to enforce the racial makeup and racial hierarchy of a fucking ethnostate. This article is so transparent about it that it makes them maintaining this attitude and pretense even more jarring.
In the documentary film 1948, about the Nakba (posted here a week or two ago), a Hagana or Palmach veteran (idr which) described the Palestinians who resisted their expulsion as totally irregular and noted that they 'weren't even defending from trenches or anything'— they weren't even using the basic, temporary fortifications that were a feature of modern warfare at the time.
What a total reversal! Today Israel struggles— with its (in)famously expensive, high-tech, 'futuristic' army— to penetrate the resistance's network of underground tunnels.
Thanks for letting me know all this!
And yeah that latter point makes perfect sense to me.
This is straightening a consequence of the Israeli appropriation of the symbolism of Judaism, is it not?
What (percentage of?) symbols of the state of Israel are not based on (potentially ambiguous) preexisting Jewish symbols or myths they've hijacked? How many of those are widely recognized by people who are not Israeli?
The result, very much intentional, is that, absent context or caption, symbolic reference to Israel is often ambiguous with symbolic reference to Jews and Judaism. But that's not up to anyone but the Zionist project which has taken up those symbols in that way.
And once you've seen both, every instance of each evokes the other.
Totally. For Americans, the European nationality of their ancestors is nowadays distancing, if not exculpatory. And then for so many Israelis, the European nationalities of their ancestors must be erased in order to 'root' them in the land.
In both cases, continuity and distinctness are both present in that history of evolving identities. And in both cases, the continuity is severed in favor of the distinctness so that whichever details are favorable can be retained/emphasized and the others can be discarded/minimized, in both cases to create a self-serving myth of national innocence and right.
not to mention a genocide denier engaged in a prolonged process of brutal ethnic cleansing of his own.
Just stumbled upon this. It's very good, but not easy to watch.
you probably already know this, but if your password manager is also what you use to generate your passwords, you may be able to recover it from the generation history, which some password managers store locally
(this has saved me in the past)
Plus most Israeli Jews join a paramilitary org (like JROTC, I think) while they're still in high school, at age 14
