Twenty-one Israeli soldiers were killed Monday when they came under attack in the southern Gaza Strip, triggering a blast that collapsed two buildings with soldiers inside them, the military said Tuesday morning.

The buildings were being rigged for demolition by troops when Palestinian gunmen fired an RPG at a tank securing the forces. A second blast then occurred in the buildings, possibly as a result of a second RPG, leading to their collapse.

If ever there was a case for nuking from orbit, Gaza is it. At least a JDAM from 20000 feet.

As Sir Lawrence said:

“NO Prisoners! NO Prisoners!”

Bulldoze Gaza from the river to the Sea.

All demolition in Gaza should be done from 18,000 feet with massive guided ordinance. Israeli troops should be at least a mile away.

There are less than 9 million Jews in Israel. This loss is equivalent to about 900 American soldiers dying in a single incident. Israel is such a closely knit community, this blow will touch almost everyone.

Trump’s fault? NO! Hamas and their fellow travelers in Washington D.C.

Israel has choice but to completely destroy Hamas once and for all. If this group is allowed to survive, the next attack on Israel will be even more horrific. Israel has no choice in this matter.

This is on Israel for listening to American foreign policy

100% on Israelis

The Americans would NEVER risk American lives over terrorists

The Israelis need to take a page out of France’s foreign policy , in that France during the 1960’s decided to build their own weapons and not depend on American weapons therefore not be dictated by americas foreign policy

Israel needs to get off American dependence

That’s what will happen eventually

More and more countries will get off dependence from American weapons by building their own.

Hamas doesn't have supporters here.

”

I think they should retake Gaza and allow some hand picked “friendly” to run it
It’s the only way to insure safety other than relocating the entire population

Of course I know what Israel has but That’s not enough

They need to build their own munitions

They need build the iron dome intercepts themselves
