Migration is the biggest issue of our era. Wars come and go and economies rise and fall but in 1000 years if anyone is there to examine history, the story of our era will be formerly colonized peoples taking over their former masters
The Hannibal Directive is a "controversial" protocol whereby the IDF can "prioritize" stopping terrorists over the lives of soldiers they may have captured. Speculation of its use on 10/7 has been rife, especially since a @ynetnews report in January:
