Two Israeli Embassy staffers have been shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. One person is in custody and was reported to have chanted “free Palestine” in custody. My own speculation- sounds like a ‘target of opportunity’ hit outside a known Jewish event/site. Police have named Elias Rodriguez as the suspect, and have said he’s not previously known to police.

Thanks for the update.

A reminder that, federally, terrorism isn’t something that’s distinctly charged like we do up here, but rather comes into play at the sentencing stage. I won’t be surprised if we see that in this case.

The biggest question will be if he’s offered a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, and if he takes it?

I really fail to see any actual goal or plan to actually beat Hamas, and really seems more about punishing everyone in Gaza and killing as many people as possible. Their lack of any apparent strategy at this point only really makes sense if their goal is to wipe out everyone that lives there and take it over, and they don't seem to care if they leave (which they can't anyway) or die.

Probably because their plan is secret.

If the IDF goal was killing as many people as possible, they really suck at it. War is by it's nature 'punishment". Hamas exist as long as the people think it is worth having them. We had to crush the Nazi's for the Germans to get out from under their yoke. The majority of Palestinians approved of Hamas actions on Oct 7th. We have tried everything else, now it's time to crush Hamas, who could save their people any day since Oct 7th by surrendering and returning the living and dead hostages. But they don't, because Hamas does not give a shit about the average Palestinian. It's time for average palestinians to start killing Hamas members and telling to IDF where the hostages are.

I think we may have a different definition of sucking at it, but I doubt the average Palestinian cares about much more than not starving at this point, even if that means risking getting gunned down by the IDF at a handout. I'm sure a lot of others may also be taking up arms anyway, as if their alternative is starving while being driven off their land and/or shot at/blown up, may as well get some payback.

Tunnel warfare is a whole new level of suck.
