That's one side of the story

There are two sides to this story.

That's a false, one sided narrative.

Unfortunately there are many many racists in Israel who hate all Arabs (probably natural after such long states of war, as many Arabs hate all Jews)

It is illegal to do so, but see above 😪

1. Yes, built in the last 15-20 years/many older homes were retrofitted with a government incentive program

2. Home must contain a room with heavy thick reinforced concrete and the window must have closable steel barricade

3. Most settlers are non ideologues who couldn't afford a home elsewhere

Shelters in homes don't generally face that question. Afaik the law requires letting anyone in your home for that purpose if requested. But people don't generally find themselves in that situation in the 90 seconds after a missile siren

There are shelter rooms in every home built by the construction standard in Israel since Israeli civilians have been targeted by missile strikes for decades

There are public shelters that let everyone in of course

בערוץ חדשות כלשהו בטלגרם הועלתה סברה שהפגיעה האיראנית בכמה מערכות רדאר אמריקניות במדינות האזור אחראית על ההתדרדרות בהתרעה

I'm not claiming the economic shutdown isn't destructive, of course it very much is

I'm saying the physical damage by these missiles, especially the cluster munitions, is relatively low

06.03.2026 16:02 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Afaik in Israel these damages are insured by the state

It's assembling its own drones but still relying on key components from Iran, as I understand it

Wouldn't it be proportional to the amount of economic damage caused?

I have no idea how much it is but I'd estimate a few hundred million dollars(?) which is probably much less than the direct military cost of the war or the cost of the economic shutdown

As an Israeli these cluster munitions are far less intimidating because almost all of us have shelters. Shelters are 100% safe against these small munitions

They are not 100% safe against one huge warhead hitting the building

Both of these are true but:

The US no longer supplies much to Ukraine.

Europe provides the funds and most munitions are actually made by Ukraine itself

While the economic effects of this war might benefit Russia, the loss of the Iranian regime as a provider of critical shahed parts can hurt

אין סיכוי לנפילת המשטר?

בלבנון למשל נראה שהוציאו את הזרוע הצבאית של חיזבאללה מחוץ לחוק, וזו הצלחה מאוד יפה אם זה יוביל לפירוקו

At this point in AI capabilities, at least in my industry (software development) you won't remain competitive if you do that

If you want to reduce co2, isn't it better to cut down the trees after they grew, bury them, and plant new trees to capture the next batch of co2?

I'm not a Newsom fan (though he did impress me with his recent moves representing the US abroad and temp gerrymandering CA)

I'm a fan of standing with non fascists in general elections, even if they are very far from my ideal candidates

Dems run purity tests while Rs run rapist fascists

Good luck getting your purity test approved candidates in fantasy land while the republicans literally vote fascist rapists in to rule over you

Then vote against them in the primaries

But when what you end up is Harris vs Trump, helping Trump by dissing Harris is so so stupid and self defeating

To the point it's unclear there would even be meaningful elections anymore

It's a wide tent and there are people with different beliefs in the party.

If the party is too centrist it's because not enough progressives are participating in the primaries

Dissing the party in the general leads to fascism winning, will eventually mean there won't be any primaries to affect

What an original take
Do you think you're talking to the DNC here??

You can work on that in the primaries

Mentioning that in the context of the *general* is stupidity that is uniquely Democratic

self defeating idiots might just want to preserve their rights to complain as democracy is destroyed

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.
