Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.

    Are you talking about the Yom Kippu war, perhaps? That war Israel only survived due to the massive support it received from the US?

    Is that the time you are talking about?

      … you do realize that the Yom Kippur War had already shifted in Israel’s favor by the time (limited) American support arrived, and that the Arab states were backed materially by the Soviet fucking Union, right?

        Tell me you don’t know squat about the history you are feigning expertise in without telling me you don’t know squat about the history you are feigning expertise in.

        Israel was backed to the hilt by the US long before Yom Kippur happened, Clyde - it was only thanks to the US placing it’s massive surveillance capabilities at Israel’s disposal that Israel even exists today.

        Do you actually know anything about this that you haven’t read on an Israeli tourism brochure, Clyde?

          Imagine being this ignorant of Israeli history. Guess you need to posture after being called out on your ignorance of the Yom Kippur War.
