      tbf,

      the fact that a handful of paraglider managed to overcome one of the most advanced and well financed military on the world, through one of the most militarised and surveilled borders in the world, into one of the most militarised countries in the world, is quite impressive.

        There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.

      Maybe, but I think there’s something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that’s being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.

      If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it’s your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you’ve been hearing so much about, of course.

      This time, it’s some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it’s some other people saying “the gays” are trying to spread communism and infect the children.

    Paraglider pilot here. A paraglider would be literally the worst way to invade/attack/terrorist-whatever any target. You need the right wind conditions to launch (or you have to have someone tow you up, but that only gets you so high); if there are no thermals, you can’t travel any kind of distance (unless your target is on a coastal ridge with onshore wind); you pretty much have to “attack” during the day (for above reasons); you move incredibly slowly (trim speed for your average wing is around 25-3mph); and you need both hands to operate the controls (I guess you could have a tandem passenger to work the weapons or whatever, but then you’re 2 people for every one weapon you have). Paramotors (paraglider plus big ass fan) makes all of this even less ideal, since you’re still very slow moving, and you’re loud.

    In conclusion, this lady is a nutcase and badly needs a hobby.

      I agree with the “nutcase” diagnosis but I think she just can’t tell paragliders and parachutes apart and thought these were paratroopers. Which Hamas somehow has now.

      I disagree on some spots. There are electric motors for paramotors which are significantly quieter..

      You could use it in the night. With still air you also don’t need to have the breaks in your hands all the time.

      I still wouldn’t use it as an attack vehicle.

        For one, there’s journalists picking the dumbest tweets and pretending it’s news. Then screenshots of the “news” article of a dumb tweet getting propagated on other fora.

        It’s ragebate, conditioning us into a default distrust in and condescension of others.

      So that’s why the US banned Toyota Hyluxes.

      It’s not. The real reason is so much stupider. IIRC it happened partially because of eggs.
