War: Deserved response – Hamas reacts to Iran’s attack against Israel.


Hamas, the leading Palestinian militant group, has reacted to Iran’s decision to attack Israel.

Hamas is an ally of Iran and unsurprisingly defended Tehran’s drone and missile attack on Israel that began on Saturday.

Hamas and Israel have been in a six-month-long war, with so much destruction recorded.

Iran, in retaliation to the attack on its embassy in Syria, which led to the death of some of the country’s top officials, launched over 300 drone and missile attacks towards Israel on Saturday.

“We in Hamas regard the military operation conducted by the Islamic Republic of Iran a natural right and a deserved response to the crime of targeting the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the assassination of several leaders of the Revolutionary Guards,” Hamas said in a statement.

Recall that Hamas was the first to attack Israel, killing about 1,200 people and abducting another 250.

More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 76,00 injured in retaliatory Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October.

THE LEGEND OF TRAPPER NELSON.

THE LEGEND OF TRAPPER NELSON. As you ride up the Loxahatchee River from its mouth in Jupiter, the canopy of slash pines and cabbage palms eventually starts to close in on you. Wildlife hides in the gnarled thickets of mangrove.  Everything about this place feels prehistoric. The turns become more and more hairpin, deceiving and disorienting you, as turtles and alligators eye you wearily before slipping beneath the murky water. Nearly eight miles up the northwest fork of the river, a weathered, wooden boathouse juts out into the dark water: the first sign of human existence seen for miles.  Alongside it is a dock that leads through a bamboo thicket into what was once the heart of wild Florida: Trapper Nelson’s homestead, zoo and jungle garden. The biggest attraction, though, was Trapper himself. Known as Tarzan of the Loxahatchee, he’d wrestle alligators, trap wildcats, and dazzle guests with his infallible good looks and stories of the wild.   He was a man who lived witho...

During the Vietnam War, one of the most dangerous jobs was undertaken by a select few known as "tunnel rats." These unsung heroes were American, Australian, and New Zealand soldiers specially trained as combat engineers, who crawled through Viet Cong underground tunnels to perform perilous covert search and destroy missions.⁠ ⁠ Tunnel rats gently prodded for armed mines in order to disarm them — and prayed that they survived with both their legs intact. Most men were volunteers and tended to be of smaller stature, making it easier for them to maneuver through the cramped subterranean spaces Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

A Waffen SS soldier belonging to "Der Füger" SS Division walks ammo up to the front lines during the invasion of France during May, 1940.  The Waffen SS played a crucial role in the invasion of France, they were the spearhead of the infantry.  The Waffen-SS quickly gained themselves a reputation for being ruthless and effective killers on the battlefield. Civilians and combatants alike for their effectiveness and brutality.  They used this fear as a weapon and manipulation tool convincing many that the Germans were the right nation and they had better futures there.  This fear also gave them great control over the population and allowed them to do whatever they wanted which included rape, murder, and executions.  Since they were the most fit and capable soldiers in the entire Wehrmacht the were used as the poster-boy for the German army which gave them even more of a false ego.  Many of their songs like "SS Marschiet in Feindesland" glorified their brutal a...
