Tank shells. Against an adversary that doesn’t have tanks.
They classified encryption as a munition so now they can just classify journalists as a tank. Problem solved.
Tanks are mobile artillery. They’re not only designed for fighting other tanks.
What you’re talking about is a self-propelled gun. An SPG is not an MBT. That’s like saying a Baja trophy truck is the same as a McLaren Le Mans endurance prototype are the same because they both have 4 wheels and are fast.
You can use a tank as indirect fire support, but that is absolutely not what they are designed to do, and they aren’t nearly as good at it as dedicated platforms.
And moreover, Israel is fighting in urban environments. Urban environments eat tanks alive. This is stupid on multiple logistical, geopolitical, and ethical levels.
Artillery isn’t only indirect fires the category of direct fire artillery exists. Tanks only get eaten alive in urban environments when they’re poorly supported. The US has used tanks in urban areas from Hue to Baghdad without problems.
Tanks’ primary role is infantry support and for that job they have a big gun. You know what’s useful when there’s a bunch of guys holed up in a city building, firing at you? A really big gun you can point directly at them and give them hell.
Tanks are direct fire support. Israel has been effectively using tanks in Gaza for years.
This is a super weird fight to pick.
Now do Ukraine.

What’s the emergency, is Russia invading Israel next?
Israel is currently at war.
“War” isn’t really a fitting word for committing genocide against unarmed civilians for being the wrong ethno-religious group on land you intend to steal.
Regardless of your feelings, they literally declared war, so yes it is the correct word.
I mean I’ve declared war on a plate of lasagna before but nobody should sell me tank shells because of it.
Did the lasagna surrender?
I don’t believe you have the international authority to have your declaration recognized as a formal act of war, though.
Do you work for the IDF?
No I just know how words work
And still look stupid. An achievement.
Clearly, you don’t.
What’s ironic about this is that I’m making factual statements (using words correctly) and you are arguing that your figurative use of language, applied because you have strong feelings about the conflict, is somehow more correct.
Consider how silly that makes you look.
Just a reminder if you take Zyrtec in the USA that the liquid gel caps ones are made in Israel but the childrens liquid is made in Switzerland. Avoid Israeli products when you can
Boycotting Israeli products is one of the only things you can do, since the US government seems complicit.
There’s been a lot of posts about Palestinians and Muslims seriously arguing sitting out the next presidential election. To all the ppl who constantly argue how stupid and reactionary doing so is, what exactly are they suppose to do?
Simply vote for the man who is actively supplying the weapons to kill your family/kill ppl just like you because Trump is a giant bigot? Thankfully i don’t have to make such a decision but I wouldn’t blame anyone (especially the family of a dead relative bombed by Israel) to sit this next election out.
For Muslims and Palestinians this next election is a Murderer vs a Murdering racist
As is always the case when it comes to elections, choosing to not vote for the lesser evil is just voting for the greater evil
Which is unfortunate because it then becomes a matter of “I am voting against the candidate I don’t like” rather than “I am voting for the candidate I like”, and the voice of the people get lost.
Third party, unironically.
inb4 helping the other side/first-past/throwing votes/electoral college. Gotta show em this is what happens when they are ignored.

So you know all the reasons why what you choose to do is wrong but do it anyway?
Gotta show em this is what happens when they are ignored.
You already admitted that’s not what you are actually accomplishing but I guess lying to yourself makes you feel better.
Yeah sure. Vote democrat. Nothings ever gonna change. Not now. Not ever.
If voting Democrat isn’t going to change anything, voting third party is definitely not going to change anything. Might as well make the higher percentage play, which is voting Democrat.
Sure. Keep up the defeatism. It’s what those in power want. This is probably the only American thing I will never understand.
The only ones peddling defeatism here are the ones advocating for the greater evil because the aren’t getting everything they want.
“Murdering racist”
Got any more myopic, reactionary blasphemy in there?
