Hamas agents escaping the strip and carefully making their way across the world to attack San Diego
you'd have to respect the hustle
Man "hamas" have been making like a dozen bomb threats a day here in Germany. Ridiculously busy these fellas two weeks after the al-aqsa flood.
The cartels pledged allegiance to Hamas and pivoted to Islamic jihad instead of trafficking meth

anybody remember this from 2017, the plot was basically Arab militants nonsensically teaming up with Mexican cartels
nonsensically
Makes perfect sense to me. At least as sensible as the 2012 remake of Red Dawn where Cuba and N.Korea team up to invade Spokane, Washington.
I mean, it doesn’t sound that different from most of your Tom Clancy / operator / CIA Jim / NCIS TV shows and movies that have come out over the last 20 years.
I haven’t heard this many people talk with complete sincerity about carpet bombing the Middle East since 2011
I can barely comprehend the sheer stupidity, xenophobia, and warmongering bloodlust that went into that statement. Maybe it's just a recency bias or because I'm way too tuned in this time, but it feels like the news and every political institution has gone off the rails beyond anything I've seen before. Even more so than they did for the war in Ukraine and the 2020/2016 elections. Was it really this bad in the post-9/11 US as well?
As others said elsewhere, the bloodlust post 9/11 is still unmatched
EVERYONE wanted heads to roll, and there was no organized pushback on it whatsoever
I can’t speak too much to this since I was young, but I can say with certainty this talking point - terrorists coming over the border hiding among undocumented immigrants to set up terrorist cells in the us in preparation for 9/11 2 - was extremely prevalent. I was in middle school and even the kids were repeating this shit (which they had either heard from South Park or their parents)
I think 2001 was worse only because the attack happened on US soil, the only place where the imperial core feels safe, and where they think their imperial violence won't hurt them, ever.
A lot of people also aren't falling for it since they remember 01
I'm sure a lot of people can see that, but it's also kinda ironic how people who weren't even old enough to truly remember post-9/11 are far more on the right side of history on this lol
Like I'm 20, no one my age was even born on 9/11 and yet it definitely seems like the majority of people my age support Palestine, and actively supporting Israel almost seems fringe. Meanwhile most 30-35+ year old Americans who should be seeing the parallels seem like proud zionists
I only found one poll measuring 18-24 year olds (Harvard-Harris) and they phrased the questions in a really manipulative way; like you can immediately infer support for Israel would be lower if they didn't force you to pick between "Israel" and "Hamas" (and when you don't even have a "no answer" option, people who are generally pro-Palestine but don't want to openly side with Hamas will just... not answer). And yet pretty surprisingly, half of 18-24 yos sided with Hamas?
All this poll tells me is gen z is relatively based and millennials are also a bit more based than I assumed
Yes and no. The government and the news were just as bloodthirsty, yes - Barbara Lee got death threats for voting against the invasion. The social climate was a little different because the almighty algorithm and advertising hadn't taken over the Internet, so online discourse felt more diffuse and heterogenous.
Anyone else remember back in like 2016 or 2017 I know it was during Trump they claimed some migrants were terrorists because of blankets?
fighting the urge to bulk buy keffiyehs to hand out to the unhoused and the day laborers outside the big box hardware stores, it's a funny idea, but I don't want anyone to get hurt by 
“Yeeeaah, sorry boss. Hezbollah just blew up my car and Hamas paraglided onto the train tracks and derailed everything. No Uber is available either due to the drivers having Havana Syndrome. I can’t come in today.”
the next move is to tell us that doing weed drugs is financing Hamas/Hebollah to buy a Chinese robot that beheads white babies, 10,000 at a time.
still think smoking phat doinks is cool? checkmate, terrorists.
