Zech. 12:3 On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.

[MAAG]

We eliminate are current government🤔

[KamperKen]

Wishful thinking by AP based on the headline.

[davidb56]

eliminate ALL of them.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

And Reichskanzler Gobbels announced that as soon as the new Wunderwaffe are produced in sufficient numbers the invaders will be thrown out of Germany!

[Cinnamontea]

"Holding firm" and "fighting back." Gee, that's not biased language or anything. Nah.

[HIDEK6]

AYPEE acts like this is some kind of contest instead of a case of Israel responding to a cowardly attack.

[MinorityRepublican]

Bibi is not going to last long. The next Israeli PM will declare victory. Then the IDF will leave Gaza. Hamas will rebuild and attack Israel again.

[SamuraiScot]

that many Israelis see as wildly unrealistic. . .

I see. The AP's Arab stringers in Gaza are speaking for the Jewish state they hope will be destroyed.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Scorched earth works every time. Give Gaza the Carthage treatment.

[Rockingham]

Wars are fought in order to avoid worse outcomes. The Israeli Defense Forces are highly capable and Israel is determined to end Hamas as an organized force. As much as Israel is politically divided, they are united on national security policy. Israel has the advantage and will press on to a decisive outcome. Some of the Hamas rats will escape, but the organization will be discredited by doing so and for the devastation they have caused in Gaza.

[frank ballenger]

Hamas and the PLO are problems for Israel.

Like James Bond it is better to be a problem eliminator than a problem solver.

[Huskrrrr]

Finish the job. This will teach Hezbellah a valuable lesson.

[faithhopecharity]

The IDF will finish rooting the terrorists out.

[roving]

Biden is hoping Israel back from completing the job.

[Texas Fossil]

Supply Israel whatever weapons they need.

Step back and Bibi and the IDF will end Hamas.

Only way to handle this.

[thegagline]

Kill every single member of Hamas. Next, kill every single person who gave aid and comfort to Hamas. Problem solved.

[Texas Fossil]

AP = Always Propaganda

[glennaro]

With terrorists — like Hamas and Hezbollah — you kill them, and you keep killing them, until they’re no longer a threat. That’s what you do.

[freeandfreezing]

Do the AP reporters have any brains at all?

Comparing the situation in the Gaza strip to Iraq or Afghanistan shows an utter lack of geographic knowledge.

Iraq covers almost 170,000 square miles. Afghanistan covers about 250,000 square miles, much of it in remote, mountainous areas. The Gaza strip covers 141 square miles.

Two sides of the Gaza strip are next to Israel, and the third is ocean. The fourth size is controlled by Egypt and it is all of 7.5 miles long.

Israel's army can easily cut up the Gaza strip into sections, and to the extent necessary isolate and eliminate any opposition.

There are large numbers of civilians, who will need food, water, and other temporary support, but Gaza is too small for insurgents to successfully hide from the Israeli army.
