'Sea of bodies' in Israel, scores dead in Gaza as shock Hamas attack unleashes war

JERUSALEM/GAZA/SDEROT Oct 7 (Reuters) - Gunmen from the Palestinian group Hamas rampaged through Israeli towns on Saturday killing and capturing scores of civilians and soldiers in a surprise assault, met by Israel with massive retaliatory air strikes that killed scores in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the assault that had begun in Gaza would spread to the West Bank and Jerusalem.

“This was the morning of defeat and humiliation upon our enemy, its soldiers and its settlers," he said in a speech. "What happened reveals the greatness of our preparation. What happened today reveals the weakness of the enemy."

In Sderot, in southern Israel near Gaza, bodies of Israeli civilians lay strewn across a highway, surrounded by broken glass. A woman and a man were sprawled out dead across the front seats of a car. A military vehicle drove past the bodies of another woman and a man in a pool of blood behind another car.

"I went out, I saw loads of bodies of terrorists, civilians, cars shot up. A sea of bodies, inside Sderot along the road, other places, loads of bodies," said Shlomi from Sderot.

Terrified Israelis, barricaded into safe rooms, recounted their plight by phone on live TV.

"They just came in again, please send help," a woman identified as Dorin told Israel's N12 News from Nir Oz, a kibbutz near Gaza. "My husband is holding the door closed ... They are firing rounds of bullets."

Guess we’ll see. The first actual votes are still several months away.

By the way, have you seen this? I just heard about it today. Not sure what to think, but it does sound ominous, especially coming from someone considered close to Trump.

And the Democrats want to take our guns away after witnessing this? Hmmm. Sounds like they are taking the terrorists side and aiding them.

They are busily spinning that it is all “non-lethal” aid. Of course, if they are employed by our cash, if they get free food, clothing, housing, medical care, etc, then they can free up other money for weapons. To be redundant, “Money is fungible”. Any aid to “palestine” is supporting terror.

The 6 billion went when you said maybe, and maybe not, but the rest went when? before? after? Were we all informed about it? Why is that? Do we have any idea about all the billions that were laundered and pilfered from the people went to in and out of Ukraine? I believe it was the Pentagram that keeps coming up with a magic 6 billion that they pulled out of their butts. They brag about it. Do we believe that what the Biden regime claims is ever true? How do we know when Iran actually got it? Is Steve Scalise and Cruz, and others all lying?

Get some sense. You are not even questioning anything. You agenda and issues blind you from looking for anything that doesn’t fit your narrative that you make up.

That wasn’t my point at all. All I was doing was easily disproving your claim that if you don’t support Trump, you must be an Iran supporter.

However, something else is much more likely. If you support Russia, you are almost certainly Trump supporter, because no one else has any reason to support Russia at this point. Not saying that applies to you, but I bet it does universally to all the Russia supporters here.

Yep. Unfortunately any hostages that the savages have will be dead anyway. You cannot negotiate with stoneage Neanderthals. They want blood and death only. Too bad the asshole politicians WORLD WIDE decided to arm them (thru Ukraine, I’m sure) and taught them how to use MODERN weapons. No way they could create guns themselves....the weapons and training came from outside their tribal conclaves.

They got caught napping. Isral8 Deep State was busy opposing Netenyahu.

That thought should energize Americans to remember the left and their efforts against law and order, border security, military strength vs abdication of principles of morality to the alphabet soup agenda.

You really believe, that the weapons and training of Hamas, came from Ukraine, and not from Iran and Russia, their two main allies, instead?

They learned from the Nazis, the Nazis took Jews as hostages as a bargaining chip. Once they realized that the Allies weren’t interested in bargaining, well, you know the rest.

” If you support Russia, you are almost certainly Trump supporter, because no one else has any reason to support Russia at this point. Not saying that applies to you, but I bet it does universally to all the Russia supporters here.”

There are few, very few, Russia supporters here, and then it is usually only on specific issues, like Russia’s protection of children from Groomers and Drag Shows. So your comment applies to very few here as I don’t see them broadly supporting Russia, except maybe one guy who’s actually Russian (I think), but very few others.

We're opponents of the illegitimate Biden Family Syndicate government and its US-tax-money-laundering in the Ukraine, which you apparently are NOT.

“It was only proven that they didn’t conspire in the 2016 election. Nothing else. And Trump’s admiration of Putin is quite evident. It’s the exact reason so many here now support Putin so much.”

You are so full of fabulist shit.

Guess you didn’t read it, just milked it to spin.
The point made is that BIDEN vs Trump is not happening. It’s a good bet Biden will not be able to appear in public let alone run for 2024 very soon. Has nothing to do with Trump.
