A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

If it cost 200 times more for a single missile but you need to fire 200 artillery shells to accomplish the same result. Well, what’s cheaper?

Shells are way easier to produce than guided missiles, this comparison is asinine. Why are you comparing just the "price" of the two options? Have you also considered that artillery is not just for destroying things but also to deny control of an area or send support fire to a position? Good luck doing that with one fucking missile, I'll take the 200 shells.

Liberals shouldn't speak ~~about things they don't know~~ at all, they shouldn't speak ever

I love how you think I'm a liberal. I'm not a conservative either. If field artillery was as useful as you claim, then Russia wouldn't be doing so poorly. There is a reason that we don't use carpet bombing anymore and moved to precision guided munitions.

It wasn't the price. It was the effectivity rate.

Russia is only doing poorly in your cope fantasies, Russia won the war.

The vast majority of casualties in this war (just like in WW1) have been due to artillery.

But you literally do.

moved to precision guided munitions

This never happened, it's just propaganda to pretend that America's wars are "more humane".
