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.

This was my takeaway. Shes so spun up with fear she sees on TV she thought it possible it could show up at her door.

Takes me back to the early post-9/11 days where lots of random shit is terrorism. Not back to anyplace I wanted to be, but it does take me back.

I hope he can see this, because I am doing it as hard as I can.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ah yes, because paragliders obviously are a very good invasion method. How indoctrinated do you have to be to think this???

also before i clicked the imagine i thought it was the flag of estonia of a sec

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Woman performs double suplex on paragliders

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

Well she is from Doncaster so that explains a lot of her delusional thinking.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

That picture is not Doncaster, It's Devils Dyke in Sussex, UK. It is facing East toward Chanctonbury Ring (furtherest hill in the distance). Behind the photographer will be a pub and a carpark. Its a drive of about 230 miles between there and Doncaster. #justsaying

Odd woman yells at ~~cloud~~ paragliders.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Man some people just aren't trying anymore; according to the weather forecast it's going to rain Hamas on 17 October 2025, not 2023.

PS: Should probably mention that this is The Onion.

Oh no! If they take out Doncaster, who will eat all the Gregg's?

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.
