expected coming from zionists of the apartheid Israeli government

I think it's a military of conscripted amateurs

I would assume most people who join for the first time are amateurs. That's what training is for.

They also bombed a lot of people who were just sitting in an apartment.

This kid shot a firework at an armed fortification of an invading force.

It's either that or he just shot fireworks in the air at the start of Ramadan nowhere close to hitting any soldiers.

It looks like he's shooting it a giant wall with fencing on top of it. Likely the same giant wall with fencing on it where he got shot from.

The firework goes like 3 metres up in the air. The IDF must have been fearing for their lives from that hand launched mortar.

As you rightfully said, kid, they are not known to make the best decisions. That's no reason to get murdered.

Destiny says that this doesn't count because it wasn't ordered by the president of the United States

Who the fuck cares what that schlub thinks anyway? Seriously, how the fuck did this guy get so goddamn big and well known? He's a joke.

I think they're being satirical. No one of any actual intelligence takes what Destiny says as truth.

I didn't think about him until he embarrassed himself in front of me and nkw it's all i can think about im obsessed with it

What did he do to embarrass himself in front of you?

Destiny had a "debate" with Finkelstein a few days ago on Lex Friedman where he verbatim repeated every piece of debunked Hasbara available it was quite embarrassing to watch. Example:

When Finkelstein said that the IDF murdered four children on a beach Mr. Boneri said that was a lie and those children were inside a "Hamas compound. A simple Google shows Mr Canoli had no idea what he was talking about

Israel exonerates itself over Gaza beach killings of four children last year

An account of the investigation, posted late on Thursday by military spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner, said the strike had targeted a “compound” which had been known as belonging to Hamas’s Naval Police and Naval Force (including naval commandos)”.

But journalists who attended the scene in the immediate aftermath of the attack – including a reporter from the Guardian – saw a small and dilapidated fisherman’s hut containing a few tools where the children had been playing hide-and-seek.

The Israeli claims appear at odds in several details with what journalists were able to see at the time.

So the "The IDF investigated themselves and found they have done nothing wrong" is basically every argument for pro-israeli grifters.

Damn. Destiny recently said that he could finally start to read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a result of getting medication for his ADHD. I wasn't expecting that to turn him into an even bigger moron.

Vyvanse and Adderall don't make you smarter. They make a train wreck

Not if he actually has ADHD... Dunno if you've ever met someone who is actually legitimately prescribed Adderall, but it doesn't make them tweak out. It makes them able to concentrate more like a neurotypical person.

Destiny is just a train wreck because he's an idiot.

Plenty of people with ADHD take Adderall because it helps them function. Don't universalize your experience with a specific drug designed to help a specific kind of brain, specially when there's plenty of people with opposite experiences.

How did the President of the United States get so big and well known?

I think notoriety comes with the job, idk.

He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

How the hell are fireworks legal in Palestine? Like if they aren't illegal that blows my mind, they are illegal in my country and we aren't a war torn occupied territory. And if they were smuggled in, why?
