Disclaimer: I think this ufo bullshit is all just a distraction personally, literally every recent election cycle this shit comes up. Thanks Obama! ( /s on Obama joke)

If we assume there are alien craft in the hands of the military/ contractors, then it's almost a guarantee that we've gathered enough info from them, that some of our "hard earned tech", isn't ours and isn't gard earned in context.

If im the government, I don't want people realizing America isn't at top of class in all depth. If we are scraping alien tech and saying "look how smart USA is wow", then it would be a pretty big national embarrassment to have to tell the world it wasn't American inguminhiry, but greyman ingenuity.

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago in c/[email protected]

This is a summary of the article contents:

Hamas's attack plan: The article reveals that Israel had obtained a detailed document of Hamas's plan to invade Israel from Gaza more than a year before it happened on Oct. 7, 2023. The plan, code-named "Jericho Wall", described a surprise attack with rockets, drones and gunmen that aimed to overwhelm Israeli defenses and take over military bases and cities.
Israel's intelligence failure: The article shows that Israel dismissed the plan as unrealistic and ignored the warnings from some analysts who noticed Hamas's preparations and capabilities. Israel also misread Hamas's intentions and did not take the threat seriously¹[1]. The article compares this failure to the 1973 war and the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
The consequences of the attack: The article reports that the attack was the deadliest day in Israel's history, killing about 1,200 people²[2]. Hamas followed the plan with shocking precision, breaking through the border fence, storming the Re'im base and other targets, and taking hostages³[3]. The article says that the attack was a major blow to Israel's security and morale, and that the government is expected to form a commission to investigate the events.

Looking For A Book For Young Critical Thinkers (lemmy.world)

A good friend of mine is split from her ex husband. There are shared children between the 2 families. The other family is extremely active and insistent on Baptist denomination and allllll the lovely trappings that come along with it.

My friend is agnostic, not atheist, however, her daughter (11) is really starting to be indoctrinated hard, to the point where my friend feels like her daughter doesn't respect her because she isn't part of the child's faith.

The child is said to be a bright kid. She's a "sponge" I'm told, with a desire for knowledge. My friend has asked me if I know of any good literature for the occasion (I dont).

I'm looking for something to gift to this child, to give them some options in life for methids to think about these issues, which come from.a source outside of the church.

Nobody's looking to ruin a little girl's faith, but my friend is concerned that she's really latching on too hard and wants to make sure that she has some options available to her, so that she can count on that amazing children's sense of curiosity to solve the issue itself.

This is weird subject I'm hopefully approaching it appropriately and respectfully enough, I know people can be testy about forcing anything on anyone. It's not that at all. She literally just wants some literature that might expose the child to either some of the issues with Christianity and the Baptist religion or even just larger theological principles.

If this is a shitty ask I'm sorry, tell me and I'll nuke this. But as someone who had to work extremely hard to deprogram myself from the same Baptist curse, I too want this child to have some options for how to think about life and frame these difficult questions.

Update: Thanks everyone. I've ordered 3 paperbacks and I am going to attempt to make a deal with my friend's daughter. If she agrees to read these 3 books, I will read the Bible again one more time, all the way through. I think it's a good deal, and should be hard to pass up for a budding young Christian looking to spread the joy of Christ.

This doesn't mean I'm not still open to suggestions! This has been a productive conversation and I'd love to keep it rolling. Too much of this sub is hating on faith, not enough encouragement of free thought.
