Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

Couple this with the Economist I posted yesterday (above), and the impression given is this war might be close to being over.

A Seismic Victory in Gaza: Mapping the Tunnels of the "Gaza Metro"
https://realclearwire.com/articles/2023/11/16/a_seismic_victory_in_gaza_mapping_the_tunnels_of_the_gaza_metro_993093.html


Current seismic technology readily available from the oil field will allow identification (and then destruction) of these tunnels. Wireless Seismic METIS (Multiphysics Exploration Technology Integrated System) uses a seismic recording channel collected by autonomous drones. These drones also drop DART (Downfall Air Receiver Technology) receivers, i.e., geophones. The DARTs are dropped by the drone and impale themselves into the ground creating a system of geophones to model the subsurface data. This system was thoroughly evaluated in Papua New Guinea in 2018. Wireless Seismic News — METIS field test yields excellent results. A single drone dropped 60 DARTs in one hour and these drones recovered "real time seismic data" thereby imaging subsurface data of underground voids. Precision guided artillery shells could provide the seismic source needed for the geophones to collect subsurface data. The DART's would be dropped inside Gaza to model any location, i.e., not just locations close to where Israeli troops are located. Thus, METIS could accurately map the entire Gaza strip.

Once the location of the tunnels is known, they can be destroyed using deep penetrating bombs fused to detonate deep in the ground and dropped from aircraft. This could potentially interdict the entire system of tunnels. Even an extensive metro-like system of tunnels could be defeated if important chokepoints could be detected and collapsed.

Finally, this technology could resolve the ongoing factual dispute over whether Hamas has placed tunnels underneath hospitals, United Nations positions, schools, and other places that are protected from attack. While not a panacea, the METIS system could answer these basic questions and, potentially, turn Hama's tunnels into a death trap for fighters using the tunnels. At least, it would mitigate any asymmetric advantage Hama's tunnels provide.

Sacha Baron Cohen Slams TikTok: "Creating Biggest Antisemitic Movement Since the Nazis"
"Shame on you." A group of Jewish celebrities including Debra Messing and Amy Schumer had a confrontational call with executives for the popular social media app.

A score of Jewish celebrities are criticizing TikTok following a surge of antisemitic rhetoric going viral on the social media app following Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, which has culminated in some young people supporting 9/11 terror leader Osama bin Laden.

According to The New York Times, more than 30 influential people — including Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer — had an impassioned 90-minute video call with TikTok executives earlier in the week.

"What is happening at TikTok is it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis," Cohen declared on the call, according to a video of the exchange. "Shame on you." The Borat creator added that the service could "flip a switch" to silence such videos, and noted, "If you think back to Oct. 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate."

With Twitter doomed, what will anti-Semite Elon Musk lose money on next?

The joke is that ketamine is used in dental procedures (and other conscious sedation procedures).

but I edited it to remove the reference to any specific profession or person. I apologize it was read like that and hope for nothing more like that to happen to you or your family.

I've had personal connections to those things as well, as have many of us.

That being said, compassion is a two way street aina?

Completely understand, thank you for your kind words, and I am certainly not alone.

I think compassion is a one way street. Give it.

The hospital is almost empty and will be empty shortly.

120 patients had remained behind in the hospital along with five doctors, whose evacuation would be coordinated with the United Nations. Earlier in the week, Al-Shifa housed more than 650 patients, 500 medical staff and 5,000 displaced persons, according to the hospital director.

No apology necessary, and totally hear you. It was really more of something I try to live by rather than a direct response to you.

Stay on topic, no need to be talking about rubbing off on me.

They at least probably embellished it per the link below. Still too murky of a story to outright say they made a bunch of it up.

He's just a pawn and so should be given a pass, but:

"After months in which Musk has supported racist rants; encouraged hate speech; elevated literal Nazi propaganda; fired every Twitter employee in Brazil on suspicion of being too liberal; fired the entire company press office and the entire company communications department; decimated the team responsible for content moderation; terrified advertisers with chaos, irresponsibility, and perpetuating racism; and thrown away global brand recognition by renaming the whole platform to indulge a personal whim, Musk has put his finger on the real issue.

It's the Jews."

He's a clear and present danger to Jewish people.

That's ridiculous, Unk. Everybody knows it's actually some 20-year-old pre-law student at Cornell who is the real danger.

Douchey, Doc and the rest of the Elon apologists aren't "interested" in Musk's antisemitism. He's just a pawn - the richest, most powerful pawn in the history of pawns.

[21Jumpstreet]

Hah, very nearly what I said. Back to the war that needs to end.

[4everwarriors]

Actually Nads, you're wrong. The real danger is the BOTUS who's advocatin' for a two state solution, aka talkin' outta both sides of his ass so as not to piss off all voters or his puppeteer, BO. It doesn't take a history PhD to know that will never be sustainable. Not when Palestinians willingly use their children as human shields, are suicide bombers, and find it a mitzvah to die for Allah, hey?

Anyone driving a Tesla, I assume they're anti-semitic at this point.

It's pretty sad Elon gets a pass from some here.  I'm glad they've revealed their anti-semitism for us

Elon's just a pawn, dude. Not powerful or influential like a Harvard undergrad.

I suppose.  As long as he keeps his anti-semitism towards Jewish people that don't act like the way I think Jewish people should
