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.”

I’m afraid that’s precisely what is going to happen.

“But, even mainstream sources are reporting it as true.”

So that’s a reason to give them more credence?

Rattlesnake Snook’s posting history looks like pure troll farm baiting. Should we ask Mods to review his history to see if we want that around here?

Mainstream news sources tend to lean against Israel and for the terrorists. If they're reporting that Hamas has beheaded babies, I'm thinking it's probably true.

"Hamas knows the International community, including the US, will step in long before total destruction comes."

I tend to agree. More sympathy, more money, larger place at the table. I still recall Arafat at Camp David. When he didn't get some 5% or so of his demands, he orders an immediate intifada on Israel. Suicide bombers were blowing up buses, weddings, market places, various events, etc. on a weekly basis.

Then Israel built their impressive wall and that stopped those murderous bastards, until they discovered rockets, and that was just occasionally until this attempt at genocide.

Oh really? Considering that the IDF took foreign journalists into that kibbutz to see the actual slaughter of those babies, I would think you would have some definitive proof of your assertion.

What I’ve seen makes your claim absurd. This isn’t Kuwait with no internet available for all to see what has been posted.

Please provide a link to your assertions.

Sky News explains it is NOT covering the “beheaded babies” story because they: “have NOT seen evidence of that. We have asked the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) 3 TIMES to confirm it, they have NOT YET.”

You chose one single news source out of dozens which have confirmed. One doubting Thomas does not refute all of the others who have seen the horrors. Discernment. Learn it.

So Sky News gets a burr up their butt over not getting attention from the IDF, or whatever? Who gives a flying eff about Sky News?

The reality of this atrocity has been confirmed by multiple local and foreign sources on the ground, at the location it happened.

If you want to continue to push that BS narrative, go ahead, but be prepared to be called out for it.

CNN now claims to have “confirmed” @i24NEWS_EN
’s beheaded baby story with the Israeli Prime Ministers office, accepting Netanyahu’s word on its face, without acknowledging that i24 News and Netanyahu’s office are effectively one and the same

https://twitter.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1711774708964683897

The source for the “beheaded babies” claim is Israeli channel i24 News.

An investigation previously found that i24 News functions as a proxy for the Netanyahu family, with directives coming directly from the Israeli Prime Minister’s office at times.

Channa Rifkin is an i24News correspondent who transitioned from the channel’s Social Media editor to the Israeli military, then returned to work for i24News.

Polina Gareav, who works as the Germany Correspondent for i24News while also working as a “social media guru” at DW, the German broadcaster. She began her career as the News Editor for the Israeli Military magazine.

David Matlin, the host of a daily flagship show on i24News, is a former Israeli military sergeant and the regional director for Israel lobby group AIPAC.

Eyal Pinko, who was the head of intelligence in the Israeli Navy before becoming the head of division in the Israeli prime minister’s office, is another correspondent for the channel.

Daniel Tsemach, a former social media manager for the Israeli military, was also hired as a journalist by i24News.

He later became the international media manager and spokesman for the Israeli state-owned arms firm Rafeal Systems.

So, you're basically an average conspiracy theorist crackpot, or you're just denying reality when it slaps you in the face?

What's your motivation for refusing to believe what has been confirmed by multiple on the spot sources, local and foreign?

Do you deny what most now acknowledge has, in fact, happened, out of hatred of Jews/Israel? Are you just a troll? Really, what motivates your denial?

What Hamas did without even including this specific atrocity is more than enough to justify their response. This specific murdering of children with some beheaded may be the impetus behind Israel's vow to eradicate Hamas, and all indications so far seem to be they aren't fucking around.

I've seen enough and read enough to actually believe it happened, and it takes a lot to get past my inherent skepticism.

I ask for proof, you supply limp tweets (X's?) that are personal opinions of nobody's.

So, I ask again, what's your true motivation?

Let’s think out of the box. What if Iran wanted to set up a distraction to mask over their development of a nuclear bomb, and what if the Pallies are just the useful idiots to provide the distraction? And what if this gives the Iranians the excuse they need to try to use their new toy over Tel Aviv?
