Nasrallah: Israeli Ground Assault on Gaza is 'Stupid'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/18/2012 | Elad Benari

Hizbullah’s leader said on Saturday that any attempt by Israeli forces to launch a ground assault against Hamas in Gaza would be a miscalculated step.

“The Israelis will commit a stupid mistake if they decide to launch a ground operation against Gaza,” Hassan Nasrallah said during a live speech on Saturday, according to a report in NOW Lebanon.

“The resistance in Gaza has acquired power, determination, and planning capabilities and has filled [strategic] gaps,” he claimed.

Nasrallah also said that firepower possessed by Hamas terrorists was putting Israelis increasingly on edge.

Sounds like he’s claiming that the muzzies can take Israel on and win - he knows that international opinion is on the terrorists’ side and that Obozo is right there with them. Israel needs to make a point and seal it with the blood of LOTs of folks in Gaza and ignore world opinion.

Lost in the discussion is the reason Gaza even exists: NOBODY wants the Palis! They’re regarded by their `brother’ Arabs as poisonous undesirables and if the IDF/IAF takes out several thousand Palijihadis, listen for boilerplate condemnation from the Arab capitals, & not much else.

Strictly pablum for the Arab mob in the street...

Israel has destroyed much of this firepower and communications...

He is of course correct. Any offensive action will be met eventually by the whining and howling of the peace mongers.

Rather than be criticized for invading, it seems to me to be better to stand off and surgically and effortlessly destroy the Gaza leaders and infrastructure.

The real winner in the destruction of Gaza is Nazrallah and the West Bank

If the Israelis do go into Gaza, they should “disappear” any Iranian al-Quds they capture. Maybe discreetly send their family in Iran a postcard suggesting they met a nice girl from another religion, converted, and are now working on a pig farm in South America.

Any invasion that doesn’t involve driving the entire population of Gaza into the Sinai or the Med is both stupid and a waste of lives, treasure, and time.

There will be no peace while there are Arabs in Gaza and West Bank.

Nasrallah has a lot of chutzpah calling anyone stupid.
