WTAF Was Hamas Thinking? IDF Warns Gaza 'Will Soon Be a Tent City'
PJ Media ^ | 10/11/2023 | Stephen Green

Posted on 10/11/2023 11:46:39 AM PDT by Signalman

When the shock from the Hamas terror invasion of southern Israel wore off, my first thought was, “WTAF were they thinking?” I did not use an acronym. I was in front of my sink, putting toothpaste on my toothbrush, and I just blurted out all the words.

What we’ve learned since Saturday morning’s bloodfest has only grown worse, including reports of 40 murdered babies — several of whom had been beheaded. There are still too many scenes around the West, like Tuesday night in Georgetown, where student protestors could be heard chanting “From the river to the sea” and “Long live the Intifada.” The latter is a call for the murder of Israeli Jews. The former is a call to wipe Israel off the map. But aside from our moral superiors on the Left and their predilection for genocidal antisemites, the moral condemnation from around the world was swift and it is growing.

How bad is it, really? After Hamas bragged that, yes, of course, we got help from Iran — CDR Salamander detailed on Tuesday how Hamas could never have funded such an operation off the backs of poor and oppressed Gazans — Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denied giving Hamas any such help in planning Saturday’s invasion.

Hamas went full ISIS. Don’t they remember what happened to ISIS? Khamenei remembers, and it’s safe to assume he doesn’t want his regime to suffer the same fate that now awaits Hamas.

Gaza “will soon be a tent city,” Israeli Defense Force (IDF) spokesman Jonathan Conricus said Tuesday evening. “That is to make sure that Hamas at the end of this war won’t have any military capabilities by which they can threaten or kill Israeli civilians.”

Same thing they always think “this time for sure”. And so far they’re 0fer on that.

“Why do people keep reporting this when it was proven false?”

I saw that there was video this morning, from a major outlet. I didn’t want to look at it though.

Thanks, I don’t disagree about who gave the orders, though I think my statement still works.

A little too obvious. Try to work in misdirection.

“They need to exterminate all the rats and their underground tunnels too“

Don’t count these assholes out. This was the best planned attack against Israel ever. They may not be a military A team, but there’s something different about this group. It’s almost as though they were all drugged up and it’s not just Kat. I have an Iranian associate and the guy said don’t count these assholes out so fast. I hope he’s wrong.

I do not know if this is what they were thinking but we need to understand the difference between terrorism and simple barbarism. Terrorism is actually a Marxist strategy. The goal is not conquest or terror for its own sake. Rather, it is meant to evoke an overreaction which would cause public opinion to shift to the favor of the terrorists. Of course this must be premised on the overreaction being more brutal than the initial terrorists acts. That would be hard to envision in this case. Still, the intention of Hamas may be to trigger an Israeli attack into Gaza that would be so brutal that world opinion would turn against the Israelis. If so, I think that Hamas itself may have overplayed their hand with their attack being so vicious that nothing that Israel does would cause world opinion to support Hamas.

sadly you are almost certainly correct. Before Israel will be start practically the condemnations will start.

IMO in situations like this and 9-11 you have to strike hard and fast while the rage is still there and before anything can be done to undo your response.

It's difficult to figure out what's true and what's false.

I hoped that report about the babies was false.

But, even mainstream sources are reporting it as true.

How a shocking report on ’40 babies’ in Israel was deemed disinformation—before then being verified

The actual number may be unknown at this point, but babies were killed, and some of them had been beheaded.

They are the ultra violent equivalent of those “just stop oil” people blocking roads. They are making no friends, and are making lots of enemies.

Hamas members were looking for scary stories to tell by candlelight down in the dark tunnels under what used to be Gaza.

“It’s almost as though they were all drugged up...”

That was my thought on day one, when I saw the videos of them rabidly ak-barring while shooting and bombing. I know it’s their routine but this seemed to have an extra level of lunacy.

Orc attack. Have to find and remove whoever controls them.
They are just evil, soul-less, bloodthirsty tools.

People are extremely confused on who Hamas is and what their goals are. Their goal is the destruction of Israel PERIOD. They do NOt care about the long term existence of Hamas. Their goal is for an extreme Israeli response that could possibly propagate a larger conflict and draw in Iran, etc. the final big battle, that in their minds, Israel. Hamas’ goal is martyrdom. This is it, period. They have no other goals.

It is way past time for these terrorists to be repaid in kind.

No warnings, just fall on them without mercy.
