A military base is a valid target and the barracks can be bombed to death even when everybody is sleeping.

Hezbollah could significantly reduce collateral damage by choosing to sleep in designated bases separated from civilian buildings. It would also make killing them much easier.

AFAIK terrorists dont enjoy the defenses soldiers get from the geneva convention.

And Hezbollah has consistently done worse than going after retired military men.

Why the hell would a trash collector get a pager specialized for secure military communication?

Also dangerous is expensive. If you cause damage you sometimes need to pay for it.

Why would you need surveilance in a genocide? Seems contradictory.

I've read that adding a little bit of graphene can make concrete much stronger, lighter and easy to shape, so would allow for thinner objects.

Hah, I'm so used to thinking about these missiles as conventional that I forgot it actually means Iran was building the capability to nuke Europe. Or more accurately - to deter Europe with nukes while they export terrorism globally.

By the time it takes the missiles to reach there, the planes could be in the air.

Conservatives draw towards authoritarian or "strong" leaders reflect this idea, while its at odds with the more individualistic philosophy. There is a cognitive dissonance there.

While Hobbes is dark, he is giving an interesting explanation of how political power actually work, so that even when people are not nice, they can act in a civilized way.I only read a small parts of it and some summaries, from what I understand the crux of the argument doesn't necesserily force democracy or autocracy(although he seem skeptical of democracy) rather it explains the concept of sovereignity, even in a democracy. I once quoted Leviathan in a course assignment to explain why Gandhi's method is effective :)

I remember the time when Israel shot a missile under a hospital in Gaza and immediately after the head of Hamas, brother of Yehia Sinwar was confirmed dead. Maybe our intelligence isn't that bad after all.

Meanwhile doctors without borders denied seeing any militant activity in hospital, despite e.g one of their doctors turning out to be an Islamic Jihad rocket troops commander, or half the electricty of an hospital being diverted to a bunker right beneath it, or people firing from hospital windows at Al-Shabab anti-hamas militia.

And now they are unwilling to give a list of names of their members to be vetted for operating in the strip.

You really think the IRGC cared about schoolchildren? Give me a break, they used to have child soldiers.
