I hadn't thought about this. If they do level Gaza then that could provoke something bigger?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This was an inside job. No way Israel didn’t know this was coming. It’s all part of creating enough chaos that people beg the government to take away their rights to protect them.

>> If they do level Gaza then that could provoke something bigger?

Of course it could.

Leveling Gaza is still the righteous thing to do.

This is a big WTF of history. The most security conscious nation on the planet - or so I thought.

 

 

[EEGator]

I think that’s the idea. Sort of a Kobayashi Maru.

Do little and look weak.
Destroy all Gaza and Muslims coalesce into action.

[qaz123]

Isn’t that the point

[CatOwner]

So, bend to the will of the Muslims and do nothing?! Level Gaza and prepare for WWIII. It’s our punishment for allowing the Muslims this much leeway for far too long. Do nothing, and our slavery to terrorism becomes complete.

Hamas did this because they know the Israelis are all gonna be dead in a few decades anyways: Almost no people in the Palestine territory took the jab, but Israel has forced most their people to take 3 booster shots. Almost all Israelis will be gone from either cancer or myocarditis in a few years, so Hamas knows time is on their side.

Watch Egypt carefully. A lot of folks there could get easily stirred up.

There are already grumblings in Iran from the anti-Khamenei groups who do not support the Palestinians.....

The Sampson Option will be used multiple times if Hezbollah, Jordan, or Iran even flinch.

Doug Macgregor says a larger war in the Middle East could be provoked

There will be no larger war between Israel and the Arab nations because the Arab nations couldn't care less about Hamas - most are increasingly reaching out to Israel and will most likely formalize peace with Israel within the next 10 years.

War between Israel and Iran (a non-Arab nation) is a definite possibility, and the fecklessness of Obama and Biden is a huge reason why. These two - one a vapid egomaniac and the other a senile puppet - have done more to keep the Iranian theocracy alive than any other nation on the planet - including Iran.

"This business will get out of hand and we'll be lucky to live through it..."

It's already out of hand.

Short story: Keep an eye on Egypt.

[Churchillspirit]

Why not when the strongest nation on earth is rudderless!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ If they do level Gaza then that could provoke something bigger?”

There is also a corollary: The only way Gaza can survive Israeli action is if they turn this into a much bigger war on many fronts. Otherwise, everyone in Gaza is as good as dead and Gaza won’t survive as an enclave.

Dougie hasn’t thought this through.

From what I have been seeing, the Palis have created new enemies from former allies.

[Savage Beast]

When Trump was President of the USA there was peace and prosperity.

[AAABEST]

A lot of people on both sides “haven’t thought about this” sufficiently, and where it all could go.

But Americans will get to pay for all of it - financing both sides - bet on that much.

I don’t think it’s staying in the ME.
