  • Qassam anti-tank troops continue to deliver explosives by hand against the “IDF” armoured vehicles, this time the Merkava’s ammunition suffered a cook off. Multiple angles available as well. The sheer emotion the cameraman has when his buddy returns alive after delivering the explosive is amazing too.

    Absolute bravery from the palestinian fighters, there’s nothing more to add really. Clearly shows how each side fights the other, while one likes to flatten the entire place with their air force and long range artillery, while going in inside their heavily armored vehicles taking zero risks, the other fights on as if they were the protagonists of a typical Hollywood war movie. But this isn’t fiction: The palestinian fights like a true hero would. I can’t stop but to think of Saving Private Ryan’s movie, where in the last battle the US soldiers fight the SS troops up close and personal, planting explosives on the german tanks as they push into the town. In that movie, we’re shown how the US soldiers are heroes for fighting that way when all odds are against them. Then again, that’s a movie, and the palestinian fights like that in real life and proudly shows it as well.

    Defeating the zionist monster, one hand-delivered explosive at a time.






  • Just in case someone hasn’t seen it: Qassam Brigades uploaded an insane video of one of their fighters delivering an IED to a zionist troop carrier BY HAND. BY CLIMBING AND DROPPING IT ON THE OPEN HATCH AND HITTING ONE ZIONIST IN THE HEAD lmfao. He then escapes and SURVIVES.

    There are a lot of things to take apart from this video.

    The first and most obvious is that the Resistance in Gaza is still putting up a fight DESPITE the genocidal conditions imposed over them. So while many here doom because Iran couldn’t stop “israeli” strikes because they have US support, the palestinians, STARVING TO DEATH, are climbing into tanks and delivering explosives by hand. Let us learn from them. If they were to doom they would have let the “israelis” kill them, one by one.

    Second, there has been a change in tactics by the Resistance. Inexperienced people might have expected Qassam to send fighters with suicide vests against enemy troops, kinda like Daesh did mostly around Mosul and Raqqah. While the missions might seem suicidal (let us be honest, the chances for success are very slim) they are NOT suicidal in nature: The idea is for the fighter to engage the enemy as he sees fit and return safely if possible. There’s a sense of self-preservation, something they (among many other things) do NOT share with Daesh. To some this might seem obvious, but we live in a world plagued by Orientalism so. And I say change in tactics because, as far as I’m aware, they have used suicide bombers in the past.

    Third, there’s a gigantic propaganda victory as well as a dialectic victory. Of course Qassam will proudly show their skilled warrior take an APC by himself (with enemy VERY visible too), it’s a huge W for them, one more for the long list of Qassam’s propaganda victories. And the dialectic victory comes from the fact that many would expect the “israelis” to be the heroes, the courageous soldiers fighting off “waves of arabs” by showing tremendous skills in battle. This scene would seem fit only in movies, like Saving Private Ryan, that has scenes similar to these. However, the hero here is the palestinian. It completely shatters the high confidence of the “IDF”, they are being portrayed by clowns. War is a very masculine thing, you get to show off, and the “IDF” is being absolutely clowned by the palestinian resistance here.

    Let it be the inspiration you need. They haven’t given up, and as long as the palestinians keep fighting the chances to beat these fucking nazis are NEVER ZERO.







  • will Iranian missiles overwhelm the Israeli anti-missile missiles? Is it possible they run out or something?

    It is likely yes, but it also depends on a number of factors as well. “Israel” will definitely receive shipments from the US or elsewhere, so their missile defenses will be restocked. On the other hand, “israel” maintains air superiority over western Iran, which means iranian launching sites are being either destroyed or heavily suppressed, which forces Iran to fire ballistic missiles from the eastern region of their country, where “israel” can’t reach but the arsenal available becomes limited because not all ballistic missiles have the range to reach “israel” from there.

    If Iran fires from their western region it’s because the “skies are clear”, but the entire area is under constant surveillance by “israel” and also the US. So they might be prioritizing concealment over volume of fire. Not sure if they can fix this situation tbh, their Air Force is rather old and their Air Defense systems have been hit hard.

    There are other iranian allies who have not really joined the fight thus far. Ansar Allah has claimed they will support Iran by striking “israeli” and US targets as well, their intentions are good but their capabilities remain limited, let’s not forget they just went through a genocide, a famine and a renewed bombing campaign. Hezbollah has also been “silent”, their true capabilities after their fighting with the zionists remain a mystery for the time being, they will jump into the fight if Iran feels too overwhelmed but the land link between the two has been completely shut off. Iraq has some pro-Iran militias that could maybe use medium range suicide drones to add up to the volume of fire coming from Iran, but Iraq is a mess too.

    This is all without taking into account things like Iran enforcing a blockade on Hormuz or even targeting Saudi oil production or something like that, which would really escalate things.


  • If I hear one more “it’s an unconstitutional act!!” argument I will scream and lose my fucking mind, whatever is left of it anyways. This is the highest level of argumentation and debate the “US” society is willing to have.

    And so what? If the “Constitution” allows for such strikes to be carried out, that would make them okay?

    Discussing tHe CoNsTiTuTiOn feels so 1800s, brother it’s a piece of paper that has no value whatsoever when you live in the fucking imperial core lmao. Jesus christ these people are fucking lost and ready to be swallowed whole by fascism. What are they going to do, impeach Adolf Hitler?


  • Now all pieces are falling into their respective places. Iraq was completely annihilated by the US, the once-powerful Iraqi Army reduced to nothing on purpose. Air force? It doesn’t exist. Air defenses? They have none. The army? A collection of somewhat regular units backed by militias with different allegiances.

    Syria completely reduced to nothing. Assad gone and whatever was left of the Armed Forces is now reduced to dust. The air force? It’s completely gone. Air defenses? Conveniently destroyed by “israel”. The army? What army? The entire Syrian and Iraqi air spaces are nothing but “israeli” playgrounds, and with scumbags like the “King of Jordan” being nothing but a traitor, it only got worse. Lebanon is out of the way too, Hezbollah’s capabilities remain a mystery for the time being.

    That leaves only Iran and Ansar Allah as the only ones capable of dealing with “israel”, as well as the continued resistance by our brothers and sisters in the Gaza Strip. So, the decades-long strategy of slowly debilitating those around Iran is working out in “israel’s” favour, and with the US right behind them, they can only feel more and more empowered. But such confidence can lead them to dark places. Nazi Germany felt VERY confident they could take on the USSR, and they had the experience to do so… but it didn’t work out at all.

    This is a moment of great weakness for Iran, they have limited means and they will go up against TWO genocidal nuclear-armed powers while standing more or less alone. I sincerely wish the best of luck to them, I hope they can make their shots count… because they really need to make them count.


  • This is why they shouldn’t really be called “tankies” imo. “Tankie” originally referred to an apologist for Soviet aggression. These people are campists—they view the US/Western powers as uniquely evil and support any opposition power, even if a far-right oligarchy.

    I might be a “campist”, that could be because I live on the receiving end of the big gun that the US and the Western Powers are always pointing at us and just about anything that erodes US power gives me some breathing room. However, I am not a liberal, and she is, and there is NO coming back from that.

    I’d rather be a “campist” than a fucking spineless liberal with fascistic fantasies.
