The missiles and drones were fired north by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen who have threatened to attack Israel over the crisis in Gaza.

Pentagon Press Secretary Ryder said that the missiles and drones appeared to be heading north and may have been bound for Israel.

      Really? Like this exact same shit hasn’t been going on for nearly a 100 years (actually longer, depending on how you define it) at this point? Long before “social media.”

      It’s religion. This goes on because of religion. Idiots believing their magic, imaginary friend in the sky is “more righter” than the other magic, imaginary friend in the sky. Idiots killing idiots in the end.

        The dumb thing is- theologically- it’s technically the same magic imaginary friend in the sky. Just depends how many levels of extensed universe lore you wanna take as canon

          Only one can be right, but everyone can be wrong.

          I’d argue this only makes it worse. All people develop their religious beliefs over time and these two groups are basically just killing each other because their specific cultures delineated and had different sequels.
