Interesting that some have pointed out that the Azerbaijan music video appears to show a huge number of loitering munitions,

He says we can see "36 Harops" in the video. Harop is made by Israel's IAI.

You can see more details of the same system here;
Here;
and here:

This setup of three in a layer, nine total on a truck is interesting;
The full Azerbaijan music video can be seen here; Azerbaijan has been purchasing Israeli drones for many years and celebrated their use. These systems function more like a cruise missile and can loiter over a target for hours; with precision capabilities;
The system means that combining Harop, Harpy and mini-harpy can overcome enemy radar, and electronic-warfare stations on the ground and open the way for strikes on vehicles and other targets as we have seen in the current conflict.
Details of the system, iai.co.il/p/harop

The attack in LA, the targeting of the Nova exhibit in NYC and the ripping down of posters of hostages are all part of a coordinated effort and it is linked to Oct. 7. Oct. 7 was the main attack, but it was immediately followed by coordinated extremist activism in the West targeting Jews.
The way they manifested this was clear, and it is coordinated and well-funded. For instance, the activists were told that posters of hostages are "propaganda" and that images of the Nova festival massacre are "genocide propaganda."
This is a classic two-pronged attack, similar to the Holocaust and Holocaust denial...the Nazis did the Holocaust and then anti-semitic extremists deny the Holocaust while also supporting the Nazis.

Whenever I hear this cliche of "Hamas is an idea"....I think about all the other "ideas" that have come and gone. Nazism was also an "idea" and so was the ideology of the KKK. Lots of groups represent an "idea"...but many of them come and go or are defeated.
What makes Hamas powerful IS NOT ITS IDEAS...it is its support from abroad, primarily the fact its leaders live in western ally Doha and that it gets backing from Ankara, Moscow, Beijing and other places. It also seems to have been enabled to grow more powerful via smuggling from Egypt and cash from Doha, etc.
The Hamas "idea" may have begun with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, but it primarily began with thugs like Sinwar killing "collaborators" in mafia-like murders in Khan Younis. It then expanded in the 1990s with foreign backing to try to sabotage the Oslo peace deal. Then it grew after 2007, taking over Gaza.

Hezbollah reduced its attacks on northern Israel when the US envoy was in Israel...didn't it...almost like Hezbollah is very very smart and knows exactly what it is doing and it heats up the conflict when it wants and reduces the heat when it wants...everything is almost scripted....almost.
That's why...I don't believe there will be a war in the north. Because Hezbollah is very thoughtful and its friends in Iran are as well. Hezbollah needs to preserve its powder. It is, in a sense, too big to fail. Iran can't sacrifice this Hezbollah "real estate" in a war.
Why? Because Iran worked hard to unite the arenas and tie all its proxies into one front against Israel. That means everytime Iran gets Hamas to carry out a major attack, Hezbollah and six other fronts will join.

The Middle East's ethnic cleansing and extermination of Jewish minorities in the last 100 years is one of the most complete erasures of a people in history. It should be seen that way. Jews used to be a large group in many cities in the region...and they have been SYSTEMATICALLY expelled and ethnically cleansed by various regimes (some of those regimes supported by the West too)...and this is not widely studied in "Middle East studies" and other disciplines where in many western academies today any interest in Jewish history is now called "Zionism"...which is one of the ways the ethnic cleansing and genocide is completed.

You literally have western commentators who grift off being "anti-Zionist" now who make comments trying to portray all Jews as being from Europe rather than acknowledge the truth.
It's worthwhile to view it as a regional ethnic cleansing targeting Jews (and other minorities) because the complete erasure of Jews was more thorough in the long term than what Nazism did. This isn't always fully understood...but cities and areas where Jews were once a large group, now are reduced to zero.
If we compare the ethnic cleansing of the Middle East with the Nazism of Europe, we find that today Jews can generally travel in Europe in areas where Nazism once dominated. But in the Middle East Jews cannot travel in many countries. They definitely cannot travel openly as Jews, with a kipah or Star of David or pray etc.

I never understood the theory that after Oct. 7, after 1,000 people were massacred and 250 kidnapped...that the goal should be to "reduce Hamas capabilities"...so it "can't carry out another Oct. 7." What kind of war is that? An Orwellian one.
Reducing Hamas "capabilities" means you defeat a few Hamas "battalions" (an illusion of victory)...and then you leave Hamas in power...and it recruits more people and stockpiled more weapons.
The theory of fighting an enemy merely to make it so it can't carry out another attack is bizarre. It's like if, after the attack on Pearl Harbor...the US goal was simply to make it so Japan can't bomb Pearl Harbor again. By that logic you sink a few Japanese carriers and then end the war...what's the point?

I watched this video several times, after the first time with the sound off, because the kids in the right side of the frame are all trying to get the attention of the camera to tell their story; they deserve a better future without Hamas and the endless wars it brings to Gaza and the suffering it profits from
It’s really unconscionable that the international community has not worked to prevent Hamas from ruling Gaza and destroying the lives and opportunities of these kids. The same country that hosted the Taliban and brought it back to Kabul, hosts Hamas a
It’s not a coincidence that Hamas has such power and strong backers. It exists solely to destroy peace and ruin the rights of generations in Gaza and a lot of this is accomplished with the collaboration of the international community
