900 US troops have deployed or are deploying to Middle East amid heightened tensions, Pentagon says
From CNN's Haley Britzky
Roughly 900 US troops have deployed or are deploying to the Middle East to bolster US force protection in the region, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Thursday.

These include forces that have been on prepare to deploy orders, and which are deploying from the continental United States, Ryder said. Deployed and deploying units include a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery from Fort Bliss Texas, Patriot batteries from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Patriot and Avenger batteries from Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and associated air defense headquarters elements from Fort Bliss and Fort Cavazos, Texas.

Ryder added that the deploying units would not be going to Israel and are intended to support regional deterrence efforts and further bolster US force protection capabilities. The Pentagon previously announced the deployment of the THAAD and Patriot batteries.
As the war between Israel and Hamas continues, the US is seeking to send a strong message to adversaries to prevent the conflict spreading more widely in the region.
CNN has reported that US has intelligence that Iranian-backed militia groups are planning to ramp up attacks against US forces in the Middle East, as Iran seeks to capitalize on the backlash in the region to American support for Israel.

Pretty much "9/11 was an inside job". As we know with 9/11, half truths can go a long way with conspiracy theories. That said, I really think Netanyahu knew and allowed it to happen.

Isreal blows up journalist families, or kill the journalist themselves. It would be suicide to out themselves if they are in the region. Anyway, time will validate these claims

Yeah but did you ever consider that those journalists and their families maybe perhaps at one point in time spent time in a building that a member of Hamas spent 5 minutes in like 5 years ago?

Because that's all Israel needs to use the human shield excuse.

They don't need an excuse. They admit to it openly. 22s in

Lots of Hamas sympathizers in here today, I'm honestly not surprised though...

Yeah, I'm not on the side of savages who behead babies and massacre peaceful civilians at a music festival like you are. I'm such a shill...

So you're saying Hamas isn't evil then, I've heard enough out of you...

In review, Mondoweiss reports news and commentary on Israel, Palestine, and the United States with a strong pro-Palestinian bias and extremely negative toward the Israeli Government with stories such as this If Israel accuses Iran of doing something, Israel is likely already doing it. Another story, Yes Jewish Power party is fascistic, but its rise was inevitable is also very negative toward Israeli Jews. According to the ADL, they are considered a hate group that promotes antisemitism. Further, this site claims a holocaust inversion occurs, meaning that the Israelis are now committing a holocaust against the Palestinians. In general, some information is factual, and others are completely one-sided and misleading.

900 US troops

I see your sig. How can you support Ukraine in 1 war but you sympathize with Israel in another? Palestine is Ukraine. Israel is Russia

Isreal blows up journalist families, or kill the journalist themselves. It would be suicide to out themselves if they are in the region. Anyway, time will validate these claims

I sympathize with Israel because they just dealt with a massive terrorist attack and invasion and want to deal with the threat from Hamas once and for all so it won't happen again.

this conflict didnt start on october 7th shill, it has been going on long before hamas, israel has treaed palestinians like shit for years.

Before October 7th, Israel Security forces killed 248 Palestinians, including 40 children, just this year alone.

Some of Israels Past War Crimes Include

2009 - Operation Cast Lead
2012 - Operation Pillar of Defense
2014 - Operation Protective Edge

I know you're gonna say, Operation Cast Lead was because of Hamas firing rockets into Israel

That was because Israel broke the ceasfire agreement they had on November 4th 2008 while the entire world was in euphoria about United States Electing the worlds first black president.

Israel used the opportunity to break the ceasefire agreement and raid gaza and killed palestinians, by the Israelis Foreign Ministers own words at the time.

"The strategy of breaking the ceasefire was to preempt Hamas into an attack, which they could use as a pretext for a much larger invasion.

Baffling isn't it.

Back to 1967, when Israel started a premeptive attack against egypt, syria and jordan and took more land from palestine further enclosing palestinians into the gaza strip.

they illegally occupied the gaza strip and the west bank in what has been formally condemned ever since 1967 as an illegal occupation in violation of international law unilaterally condemned by the world court, the UN, Geneva Conventions and the Red Cross. Worldwide consensus, the majority of countries of the world all call on israel to return to its pre-june 1967 borders.

Back to 1948

In 1948 Zionists extirpated about a million Palestinians from their homes and forced them to relocate to the Gaza Strip, tody, about 70% of all Gazans are considered Refugees from the 1948 explusion.

yes this sparked a conflict., when you have colonial powers coming into a territory that does not belogn to them and forcibly removing people from their land. it tends to get complicated.

invoking the bible as an excuse to ethnically cleanse a population from its territory is a baby brained middle school argument

biblical rights have absolutely no status on the world of today. no one can say that 2000 years ago this is my story of what happened, therefore, I get to take the land from these people.

it's really difficult to avoid collateral damage.

Instead of sounding like a Netanyahu simp and immediately dismissing anything that sounds bad about Israel out of hand...

...you could always do the more rational and measured thing of vetting his overall source and linking to a credible site that's evaluated its bias.

Like so: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mondoweiss/

See? That wasn't so hard. The user's post is mostly discredited and I didn't have to stoop to the level you did in order to dismiss or debunk it.

Its extremely easy for Israel to avoid collateral damage, they just don't care to

Lots of Hamas sympathizers in here today, I'm honestly not surprised though...

Yeah, I'm not on the side of ********************** and massacre peaceful civilians at a music festival like you are. I'm such a shill...

it's extremely easy for hamas to set their shit up in places where they don't endanger civilians so that only the terrorists get turned into red mist by artillery and rockets, they just don't care to

Still cutting and pasting huh? Where exactly are you cutting and pasting from?

Yeah, I'm not on the side of savages who behead babies and massacre peaceful civilians at a music festival like you are. I'm such a shill...

Also, I don't like the fact that civilians die in any war, at all, but if Hamas is going to be building their tunnel complexes, rocket launch facilities and other military infrastructure in residential areas it's really difficult to avoid collateral damage.

Thanks for the history lesson

I know what led up to all this, I'm not arguing how or why this happened because I know all of that happened and I don't disagree with you that it happened. There's been plenty of violence and unrest from both sides that led up to this and I fully recognize that and agree that it happened.

I'm not saying all Palestinians are terrorists either, or that they deserve to die for the crimes of the minority that are Hamas members. I see what's going on in Gaza and it's truly awful, but I also see that all this bloodshed on both sides could've been avoided if Hamas was dealt with before they became as big of a threat as they are today.

Much of the humanitarian aid that's gone into Gaza over the years has been confiscated by Hamas in order to build up their military capabilities. Pipes meant to provide Palestinians in Gaza with clean water were ripped up by Hamas and used to build their rocket arsenal. By these actions and more, Hamas had made it very clear they're not interested in a peaceful solution.

My previous post, the last time I typed it out, I explained this to you many times. I have carpel tunnel and you keep harassing me about it... Are you going to make any actual counter points, or are you just here to harass me because so far, you never actually responded to anything, all you did was make shitty comments about my physical health.
