What's Next for Israel--Iran and Syria
The Vanity Times ^ | 11/8/2023 | pgyanke

Posted on 10/08/2023 7:55:12 AM PDT by pgyanke

Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah has the ability to do more than hurt Israel. They are showing they can hurt her badly. Could they actually conquer Israel? Not a chance. So what's the point?

In 1973, the Arab nations came after Israel all at once and Israel mobilized to drive them back. The most dire circumstances bring about the most incredible results.

I think the Arab nations learned their lesson. This time, they will come in waves. Hamas and Hezbollah are the first wave. They will seek to destabilize and draw Israel into a guerrilla action. The next wave will be invasion from Iran and Syria while Israel is distracted. Israel will have to deal with threats both within and at their borders. This war will get much bigger (and might even involve direct USA and Russia action) before it gets resolved.

In Islam, they are not allowed to accept defeat. It's holy writ. They can only have setbacks. Lands that were once under their control will be again... even if it takes centuries. It's a religious article of faith that they must conquer Israel and they will never stop trying. They only sue for "peace" when they are losing--hudna. Hudna essentially translates to "hold on, we need to regroup and rearm. See you soon...".

Hamas and Hezbollah are either inviting their own destruction or simply the advance wave of a larger war... my two cents.

Reports are that Hezbollah is sending missiles from southern Lebanon, so the attacks may be expanding.

Reports of Hamas units pushing from Gaza to the West Bank, and official statistics of 400 civilian dead, probably many more unaccounted for. Many Israeli settlements still not under IDF control.

I’m afraid the war will come here.

How many terrorists has Joe allowed to cross our borders. They will commit terrorist acts here in order to try to get the US to pressure Israel.

Just a matter of when....Be vigilant!

Whatever they’re doing they’re now doing it in the dark and without water. When the electric shuts down so do the desalinization plants.

As the article points out: It will never end. It will go on for as long as there exists one single Islamist.

Just as Europe is in for another round with them. One would think that they learned their lesson with the fall of the Ottoman Empire...except in their religion, as pointed out above, that they did not fail. They only had a temporary set-back.

Israel has a choice. They can fight a “nice/kind”war and have this repeat over and over or....they can totally destroy Gaza. Not one building left standing, not one person living....the area turned into totally uninhabitable to the point that mice and cockroaches can’t find food.

Note that this savagery is reported to have spread to Egypt.

No country allowing thee savages to exist within their borders is safe.

Thered are signs the pot is starting to boil here. Be very careful.

You can't use them in Gaza. It's 5 to 10 miles wide, maybe 40 or 50 miles long (quick estimate from staring at a Google Map). You need space.

It’s about 24 miles long.

The point is to terrorize the population.

1 Samuel 15:2-3:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
