Exactly, and they needed to do it while Biden is in office
They were thinking they could stop any rapprochement between Israel and the Arab nations.
And if they can provoke Israel to go full scorched earth, they can gain sympathy throughout the Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia.
They would like to make Israel a pariah state to substantial number of people globally if Israel uses state military forces to cause casualties and devastation in Gaza far more substantial than that caused by the terrorist non-state Hamas.
The question is whether “Israel’s 9/11” will cause them to shoot themselves in the foot the way the United States shot itself in the foot after 9/11.
Post a link.
“
I do not know if this is what they were thinking but we need to understand the difference between terrorism and simple barbarism......”
Nothing in your post I disagree with.
It’s certainly possible that the Palis overplayed = did not anticipate how much retaliation the Israelis would carry out before quashed by world opinion. I would also say that footage from within Gaza shows what looks like a reasonable Western city, buildings and traffic and commerce. Faults and all. My point: It does not paint the picture of masses of Pali refugees huddled together in desert tents. It ain’t no “refugee camp”. Although certainly, outlying areas of Gaza will be far less city-like.
Still, I know the bulk of the Pali people are looking at this and thinking “do we want this, or do we want that”? They’re just under the thumb of Hamas.
Alternatively: What about the idea that the whole thing is a highly synchronized national suicide terror attack. Except on this much larger and far more willing-to-be-evil scale.
*in their minds Israel loses.
FR desperately needs an edit button. Jeez.
It would be nice if Americans and Europeans became very familiar with the Hamas Charter. (Originally called Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement from 1988).
The only info I get is what is reported by MSM and Wikipedia.
I think this war will not just be between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. It will be much larger and include many countries. Israel is in real trouble. The Hamas attack was just the opening gambit.
It doesn’t work if it gets too esoteric. Got to play to the audience level.
I am unable to find a disagreement with your comment, carry on!
I wish General Patton was still around.
We have a tendency to apply the Western will to survive and thrive to death cult muj and have a hard time seeing things through that perspective. Not all Muslims are muj, but all muj adhere to the death cult ethos to varying degrees.
Send an urgent alert out to Omar The Tentmaker.
Huh?
I heard a soldier and press person confirming this.
This guy must be drunk.

If your response is “proportional” you are doing it wrong.
I agree. A glorious death fighting Israel is like a winning the ultimate Oscar for them. They are like time-traveling refugees from the 12th Century and have to be dealt with as such.
Not unique. Examples of Atrocities fill history and why civilized folks have to be on a permanent war footing. It’s more the norm than the exceptions.
There is a wikipedia page with List of Events named Massacres with 1000’s and 1000’s counted that I had to stop reading after 20 mins or so - needing psalms. It’s depressing beyond todays understanding how evil has chew its way on innocents across time.
But for D&mn sure its obvious that through the ages Chinese,
Ottomans, numerous tribes and hordes, and especially religious death cult
followers, have been highly accomplished at these depraved acts. GD help us all. And keep it clean and stocked.
