I hate it when my post title and subtitle are both questions. However, when it comes to the situation in Israel, while it’s obvious what’s happening there, it’s a little harder to divine the bigger mean. What’s happening is that Hamas has fired over 1,000 rockets into Israel’s populous Western seaboard, while Arabs are on a rampage in the Tel Aviv suburb of Lod. The Israeli military has responded with hundreds of targeted strikes.
As matters stand, this seems to have gone from terrorism to open war but that depends on who’s defining things. Also, if this is a war, will it last for a while or be resolved quickly with a clear outcome? As to why it started, aside from the Ramadan angle, a good case is that the Arabs have been emboldened by Biden’s hostility to Israel and his pro-Palestinian tilt, along with his manifestly weak leadership. I can only hope that my Zionist friends who voted for Biden have the decency to feel guilty.
The latest report from the Times of Israel describes escalating military action from both Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces (“IDF”):
Hamas launched a massive barrage of rocket fire on southern and central Israel in the early hours of Wednesday morning, killing a man and his daughter and sending hundreds of thousands of people, from Tel Aviv to Beersheba, fleeing to bomb shelters.
The large-scale fusillade of rockets was apparently launched in response to the Israel Defense Forces destroying a building in Gaza and killing two senior Hamas operatives in a targeted strike.

I really don’t care what happens over there. Bibi gave Trump the finger, so let them reap what they sow.
Amen.
Give the residents 24 hours to evacuate, then raze all of Giza to the ground. Follow up on any other place from which rockets are fired.
Unfortunately that is all that they will understand.
