Story is at a link at the top left corner

Just checked again and the story has been dropped from both links. I have seen that many times before when a story does not fit the desired narrative as more details get revealed.

What a surprise (not).

When Israel tells people to leave the area repeatedly, my advice is to leave the area.

Blaming the Hamas October 7 attack on Netanyahu is a non-starter, in my opinion.

Israel was on Yom Kippur High Alert for the THREE weeks preceding the attack.

The attack was conducted by 2,000 amphetamine fueled Suicide Soldiers. ALL of their commanding officers remained in Gaza.

1,500 Suicide Soldiers were dead 24 hours later. Most of the survivors took hostages back to Gaza.

Seven border penetrations - three for one mile or less - two for two miles or less - the deepest penetration was less than four miles, at the softest target, the music festival.

Also, Hamas fired 7,000 rockets into Israel. The rocket death toll versus the land invasion toll has not been reported.

Also, because Hamas had NOT fired rockets into Israel for several months, 20,000 Hamas residents were recently allowed to work in Israel.

Those residents gathered at the crossing points at exactly the same time the Hamas Suicide Soldiers attacked.

In my opinion, the only people condemning Netanyahu are the people trying to evict him from office.

In a technical sense, we were downwind of that ... but we had the whole Pacific Ocean between us and the artificial sun. Israel is downwind of Gaza, and whole lot closer.

I don’t think they’ll be lighting off miniature suns.

For everyone to repent and embrace Christianity.

(If there was a military solution, they would have implemented that solution long ago. But since there isn’t, they haven’t).

Well that is pie in the sky nonsense. I’m not saying it is not a worthy thing. But we’re talking realism here. You know these Gazan cretans have no concept of living in peace with Jews.They are musloid supremacists. And they won’t stop, unless they are stopped. Like the German Aryanists and Japanese children of the Sun were stopped.

Not a chance. You're dealing with muslims and Jews, so you're barking up the wrong tree to begin with.

What you're not seeming to understand here is, Israel has tried everything else except the military solution. They've had plenty of military encounters, but never with their current goal.

Due to what transpired on 10/7/23, Israel declared war and seems intent on prosecuting that war until the enemy is annihilated.

It's about time.

If in fact “Israel has never tried the military solution” then they are culpable for all the deaths the muslims have inflicted on them, bc they could have been prevented.

Simple fact, for every Hamas they kill, 2 dozen replace each one. Killing 2 million Gazan’s is not a solution either and Hamas would love nothing more.

There is absolutely no military solution to this conflict and the Israeli’s know this. But, they are politicians and have to win elections as well as profiteering off the arms trade.

Nuke Gaza for peace!

Answer this: If there was a military solution, why hasn’t it been implemented after all this time?

(BC there is none and the Israeli’s know this. But they have to be seen as “doing something.”)

Maybe Gaza shouldn’t have been operated as an open air prison camp for all this time.

Oh yes, it is. A very "Final Solution".

How ironic that it may left to the Jews to impose it.

I saw a Daily Mail item on this that was quoting a Hamas source. We know they’re reliable!

Pure balderdash.

Those are the words of a coward. I've heard this nonsense repeatedly my entire life, and my analysis has always been correct in this specific regard. Turning the other cheek, as most insisted, didn't work, did it? Actually fighting evil simply spawns more evil? Ok, you can go on believing that BS your entire life, but from my perspective, the threat can be eliminated and we've seen the blueprints on how that is accomplished with the proper mindset and fortitude.

Civilization is a pact. If you cannot abide by the pact, then you do not deserve to participate in civilization. If you continue with barbaric behavior towards the civilized, then your removal from the gene pool is warranted.

These are truisms that modern people will refuse to acknowledge, and that is why and how we've come to this point.

What you (or I) believe means nothing. Basic, fundamental truisms are what matter in the end, and all of the nuancing in the universe won't change that reality (but you can continue to ignore it and “hide” from it).

Well short of your pie in the sky Christian idealism, what do you see as a solution. It always interests me that when Israel goes on the offensive the ‘ there is no military solution’crowd materialise. Did you support Jorge Bush’s attack on Afghanistan after 9/11. Or did you power up your unicorn fart generator and pray Al Qaeda slugs turned into reasonable people and abandoned following mad Mo

Feared? One can only HOPE!

Those muslim idiots had every chance, and still do, to create their own country and to get on with life. Instead, they seek destroying israel as a pastime.

That is neither simple nor is it a fact.

But that specific idea is a powerful argument in favor of ruthless genocide applied to a hostile population. You might want to reconsider more humane alternatives.

Mass expulsion is one of those more humane alternatives. There are others. But most of the other alternatives have been tried already and failed decisively.
