The Israelis have 16 more Battalions ready to be called up if necessary. I can see air support,or naval support, but not ground troops.

They have the same problem as we do. Neither of us fight the way we should anymore. You must crush your enemy. None of this non proportional response worries.

We’ve been using the “limited war” strategy since 1951 when Truman fired MacArthur because Mac was into crushing the enemy during Korea.

Probably would be a great time to take back Sinai.

Minimum loss of life, Egypt won’t be able to mount a counter, and with Syria being distracted, and IDF ground troops up north, it is an easy play.

Then give it to the Palis and move them out of Gaza.

The Palis get their own country, Israel gets another seaside resort and Egypt doesn’t have to worry about pissing the Israelis off any further.

William Tecumseh Sherman, Sir Arthur Harris, and many others would have been prosecuted for war crimes in this day and age.

The Brits were saying this in 1941 about bombing Germany:

"The ultimate aim of an attack on a town area is to break the morale of the population which occupies it. To ensure this, we must achieve two things: first, we must make the town physically uninhabitable and, secondly, we must make the people conscious of constant personal danger. The immediate aim, is therefore, twofold, namely, to produce (i) destruction and (ii) fear of death."

You want to “crush” egypt? Easy, drop one bunker buster bomb in the face of the Aswan Dam. It would flush the toilet all the way to the sea.

No Egypt.

Who needs nukes?!
