Modern US arms aren’t intended for civilian targets, so when you drop a US drone payload on an apartment building there’s a 60% chance you are basically just delivering the ordinance to Hamas when it doesn’t detonate. At this point Hamas plus other resistance fighters have Turkey-level quantities of ordinance, putting them up there in world rankings. Enjoy, you fucking genocidal scum, you have dug your own pit, even if you are able to wipe out Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, your enemies grow stronger with every evil act. Pakistan is now affording nuclear retaliation protection the Saudi Arabia and will soon do the same for neighbors who have discovered US protection doesn’t include Israel because they are the superpower and the US the vassal state.
