It's official. The siege in Gaza is completed. The Israeli army officially announced the completion of the first step of the operation, which it advanced through 3 main points. But the big battle has now begun. Now the most difficult process has begun, the Israeli army is advancing into the cities and record-breaking clashes have begun. With the Israeli forces completing the first step of the operations in Gaza, a sudden advance has begun in the West Bank and a corridor is forming, just like in Gaza. With the outbreak of fierce fighting in both Gaza and the West Bank, the Hezbollah terrorist organization took action. While Hezbollah launched successive attacks with mortars from the south of Lebanon, it was observed that Israeli forces responded with retaliation and air strikes began.
“There is no military solution to this issue.”

That is a common and trite phrase used by people who generally don’t have a very good knowledge of history. We don’t even have to go back very far in history to see that it is not true. Germany and Japan were both far more populous and far more technologically advanced, relative to everyone else in the world, than the 2 million or so, Arabs living in Gaza are today. Their leaders made sure that their youth were, for generations, inculcated with the ideology of their country being superior, and them having the right to take whatever it is that they wanted. Yet, within a few short years, the US, USSR and UK, together destroyed both nations, including each nation’s culture of superiority. Both Germany and Japan are today far different nations than they were 80 years ago. Sometimes it takes a crushing military defeat, one which allows no excuses about being stabbed in the back by anyone, in order to give the people of that nation a figurative slap in the face, and make them realize that the way they have been going is not a winning strategy, quite the opposite.
The Arabs living in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria have never been dealt a thorough military defeat like Japan and Germany were. Perhaps what Israel needs to do is to not only militarily defeat Hamas, but also to imprison those responsible for teaching the youth of Gaza to do nothing but hate Jews and Israel. Maybe a new crew of teachers, those who may not like the Jews in Israel, but who are resigned to living with them, will change things going forward. Unless Israel tries this, no one will ever know for sure.
But one thing is incredibly clear: Hamas, as an organization, must be utterly destroyed (and that is a military task), and as many of its leaders killed as possible. Hamas must serve as an object lesson to not just the people of Gaza, but to all terrorist groups throughout the Arab world, that their savage behavior will not be tolerated. They can think what they would like to think, and believe what they would like to believe, but when it comes to butchering innocent Israeli civilians, the line is drawn there. Only the harshest possible response will get through to these people, because everything else has already been tried, and failed.
Maybe Israel should do what the Turks did to Christians and take all the male children as janissaries.
Military is the only solution. After military then a new Government for Gaza for the people.
The lower the IQ, the greater the despair that must be created to facilitate change in them.
The concept is valid, but there are many variables.
God is using it on us in the near future, as despair is the window we usually must crawl through to find and experience God. That’s why tribulation is necessary.
I recently looked up the Military Phrase "“No Quarter”" that was used during the taking of Fort Ticonderoga from King George (III) back in 1775-6
May 2, 1775,
Then, abruptly, all pretense of military discipline gave way, to the shocked outrage of Benedict Arnold. (Pre-traitor status) The men rushed with fearsome yells of “No Quarter” toward the barracks whence emerged at that moment a soldier with fixed bayonet.
“No Quarter” was outlawed sometime early 1900's if I recall. FYI, “No Quarter” means KILL EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
NOT a good idea in my opinion to take prisoners. When you release them, they just team-up and start fighting anew.
I don't have a answer to the problem (taking prisoner's) I just can see the problem. (they just team-up and start fighting anew.) My guess, you jail them? I can just imagine all the different "LAWS OF WAR," come into effect, (I'm guessing here, I have no knowledge of the subject) that you can't keep them prisoner's for ever?
Interesting.
Is this a good news source?
Marking.
Exactly. Israel's choices were to genocide the military-age population OR convince them to join the Pali diaspora in Jordan, Egypt, Dubai, Qatar.
The problem is, when does Israel have to rinse and repeat in the West Bank?
If the West Bank sees Gaza get destroyed, they might wise up, or join Hamas in the Darwin Award.
Take prisoners and use them in a terminal medical experiment. China does it. Free lobotomys.
There is a biblical precedent.
DEUTERONOMY 20:16
“But of the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes”
Every Living Thing.
Even the sheep and goats.
Exactly.
Israel got into this situation centuries ago by not listening to Him. They need to remember His instructions now.
I envy Netanyahu's unshakeable focus on WINNING. If only WE had a president like that, but the 2020 COUP gave us a limp-wristed puppet.
Should the Israeli’s kill every child?
There is no military solution to this issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Would hamass show a minutes hesitation if given an opportunity to kill every Jewish child? They have already shown us what they think of innocent Jewish children and yes, I know that two wrongs don’t make a rights but war is hell.
There is no military solution to this issue.
There's an Old Testament one...
1 Yahweh your Elohim will bring you to the land you’re about to enter and take possession of. He will force many nations out of your way: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—seven nations larger and more powerful than you. 2 When Yahweh your Elohim gives them to you and you defeat them, destroy every one of them because they have been claimed by the Lord. Don’t make any treaties with them or show them any mercy. 3 Never marry any of them. Never let your daughters marry their sons or your sons marry their daughters. 4 These people will turn your children away from me to worship other gods. Then Yahweh will get very angry with you and will quickly destroy you.
5 But this is what you must do to these people: Tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah, and burn their idols. 6 You are a holy people, who belong to Yahweh your Elohim. Yahweh your Elohim chose you to be his own special possession out of all the nations on earth.
7 Yahweh set his heart on you and chose you, even though you didn’t outnumber all the other people. You were the smallest of all nations. 8 You were chosen because Yahweh loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors. So Yahweh used his mighty hand to bring you out. He freed you from slavery under Pharaoh (the king of Egypt). 9 Keep in mind that Yahweh your Elohim is the only Elohim. He is a faithful El, who keeps his promise[a] and is merciful to thousands of generations of those who love him and obey his commands. 10 But he sends destruction to pay back everyone who hates him. He never takes long to pay back anyone who hates him.
11 So obey the commands, laws, and rules I’m giving you today.
Earlier:
Genesis 16:12
He will be a wild donkey of a man,
and his hand will be against everyone,
and everyone’s hand will be against him;
he will settle near all his relatives.”
I had a vifgin once - didn’t like it.
