From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.

With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.

From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.

Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.

I'm not denying Churchills crimes or painting him as good.

How many would Hitler have murdered if he had similar control over the region? Just look at General plan Ost...

There's a reason the USSR tried to ally with Churchill against Hitler before hostilities even started.

Israel didn't become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It's has been since its founding.

You're suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn't matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.

Israelis aren't walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.

Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.

There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews in total.

"Zionists are mostly Jews" is an objectively false statement.

Maybe specifically in Israel the statement could be seen as true, but that's only because Israel is a jewish settler ethnostate, so most of almost any grouping would be a majority Jews.

It's still a good example because as bad as Churchill was he was better than Hitler.

It's a widespread Islamic phrase but yes it stems from Arabic it means "God is greatest" and is often chanted in celebrations in Iran (and anywhere else with high Islamic influence)

Many Muslims will use Arabic for certain religious/symbolic purposes regardless of native language as the Quran was revealed in Arabic so it holds special purpose and unites the global Islamic community as they all can understand such phrases no matter where they live/which language they speak.

As I posted the above comment there were reports of Iranians shouting it to each other from the rooftops and thousands taking to the streets in groups to chant it despite the threat of Israeli attacks to celebrate Irans successful retaliation.

I meant more politically and materially than just monetarily.

If we cut social programs at home and continue to send/ ramp up even more billions to support Israel it will just create even more unrest, which is already at a low boil.

We also don't have unlimited manufacturing capabilities. How much material can we sacrifice without weakening our own access to these resources.

As the Iranians are shouting currently:

"Allahu Akbar!"

Hopefully they take the opportunity for a fresh start and move out of the settler occupation of Palestine.
