We bought a lot of Israels artillery shells for the Ukraine.

The question is less what will they be allowed to do, and more how much they can do till they run out of stuff.

Israel has owned Gaza a few times.

We keep making them give it back.

Our press will soon start showing the sad Palestinian stories.

All the old ladies in the US will start complaining.

We are back to square one.

Ship the Palestinians to Mexico.

That’s a win/win right there.

The Palastinians cheered Hamas when they targeted and killed the elderly, children, and women. They cheered when they dragged a German woman naked body and spit on it, who happened to be at a peace festival. This is ‘war’ they say. Now Israel has called it a war as well.

We must look on and see the ugliness of war, a war without rules or conscious. The good news is a quote from Gen. Sherman:

“You might as well appeal against a thunderstorm as against these terrible hardships of war. War is cruelty, there is no use trying to reform it; the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.”

I hope it ends quickly...

No, Bibi won’t do what is necessary. He hasn’t before and won’t now.

He’s not Trump, he’s Mitt Romney. Always has been.

Israel and the US have the same problem- Liberals. Liberals are liberals first and believe their country is evil. How many liberals willingly helped and are helping Hamas, and the other 11 groups invade Israel? How many Liberal Americans and RINOS are willingly assisting our enemies destroy the US?

Someone tell me I am wrong..

If the Israelis spare Gaza, they should destroy every motor vehicle (cars, trucks, busses, motorcycles and any boat other than some small fishing boats). Make future possession of same to be considered a military target. In the future, Shoot down any unauthorized small plane or paraglider entering Israeli air space from Gaza. Cut off all gasoline and diesel imports into Gaza. Construction equipment can be maintained at a minimum and no construction vehicle can enter within a certain safety buffer at the border.

If they let the people of Gaza live, insure they get plenty of exercise walking everywhere. If they want to invade again, they’ll have to do it on foot.

Siege warfare. No electricity. No water. No food. 60 days.

That would explain the intelligence failure.

“In 1973, Israel was looking for a way to end things. They could have easily finished destroying the Egyptian army and overrun Syria. However, what would they do after? Would it be worse?”

Who knows. But Israel was pissed and didn’t care at that point. They’re pissed again, and this time I doubt that anyone can stop them.

Well, Biden’s navy is standing by to pick up the pieces and bring them here.

I think a lot of mainstream Israelis have now learned the hard way regarding what happens if you ignore the Leftists in your country, while voting liberal because you feel like it’s your duty.

And, given that, if Israel does get through this still intact, there will be a major shift to the right (my prediction). The Neocons and their surrogates in Israel may have thought that they could ‘thread the needle’ and use Hamas to ‘Weaken Netanyahu’, but Hamas took that plan and ran with it to try to wipe out Israel.

You play games like that, and the result can be a bloodbath, as we’re also seeing in another country that’s been in the news a lot lately...the prior, major, ‘Neocon Project’.

Isreal should have developed a strategic bomber.

Netanyahu said "we are at war." The Israeli government formally declared war on Hamas yesterday.

The Israel army is set on destroying Hamas. UN resolutions for restraint need not apply.

Is it not financially possible to double the Iron Dome capability? Compare that to the financial and human cost of THIS war now?

No one likes war (except islam). No one likes death (except islam). But there is only one answer to the problem of radical islam, total extermination. That's why Gaza needs to be laid bare, and anywhere else islam has roots in the immediate area around Israel.

I shudder when I type those words because I don't want to be branded as a cold blooded killer (the only lives I've taken are the bugs I squash in the house). But you come up against an ideal that wants nothing but your total annihilation all because you don't worship the demonic entity they call allah, then there is no other remedy. That's why in Ezekiel 38 & 39, God says He will destroy 5/6's of them, and I sincerely doubt the remaining 1/6 will be in a mood to do any fighting/killing after that.

There is no other way to deal with this attack. Next the enablers of this war need to be dealt with, and if that means a total enema of politicians in Washington DC, then so be it.

I suspect that there are plans in the works to retaliate against Iran in the near future.

> Siege warfare. <

That was my first thought as well. I hope Israel doesn’t send in infantry. City fighting grinds up armies.

But back to the siege idea. What happens if a Russian warship decides to run the blockade to deliver “humanitarian aid”? Then what?

The world desperately needs a cool and steady hand in the White House. Someone like Trump. Instead we have, well you know.

Most of the people in Iran HATE the Mullahs who are ruining their lives.
