A Hamas senior official said that they are willing to discuss a truce with Israel after having “achieved its targets,” according to Al Jazeera.

Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip with rockets since the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas launched a surprise assault Saturday morning resulting in the deaths of over 700 Israelis, with two thousand more injured and an undetermined number have been taken hostage. Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior official, said that the terrorist group had ” achieved its targets” and would be open to a truce or “something of that sort” during an interview with Al Jazeera.

Marzouk also claimed that Hamas had captured multiple individuals with dual citizenship from”Israel … Russian and Chinese citizenship,” according to Al Jazeera. Just hours before, Abu Obaida, a spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said that Hamas would execute hostages in Gaza if Israel does not stop its rocket strikes in the area, according to multiple reports.

“We have decided to put an end to the Zionist crimes against our people,” said Abu Obaida, spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, according to one report. “Any targeting of our people without prior warning will be met with the execution of a civilian hostage.”

A State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday that it was working to confirm reports of American hostages taken by Hamas after Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer announced that the Israeli government had confirmed the presence of American hostages.

How can a truce be made with animals. The only good result would be for them to unconditionally surrender and be rounded up and executed. Civilized societies cannot risk letting these animals free again.

I agree with this approach. Gaza can avoid total annihilation when they produce every single Hamas Fighter, planner, murderer, raper, etc., and also Islamic Jihad and all the other little groups, march them to Israel in zip ties for immediate trials and execution of sentences and pay for their transgressions. Then Israel will not waste bombs on destroying Gaza. They will use Methusaleh’s Sword to clean up Gaza....

Honestly, the Palestinians are no different than a flea or tick infestation on a dog. They must be dealt with in the same manner.

Good thing Israel doesn't trust the current Biden (Obama) administration because otherwise they might be tempted to listen to the USA.

Biden (Obama) will cave on Israel in 3-5 days, saying "Peace! Peace!" but Israel will not listen.

May God bless His people with rapid and decisive victory over the terrorists who surround the land.

Indeed, May God judge the terrorists in the USA who rule the government, vote in Congress, and occupy the cities of this once great Nation.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Revelation 22:20-21

I believe that the people of Gaza think it will be the usual again. A few bombs. They sell some hostages. The money flows from the world to ‘assist’ them, while they take checks from the Islamic world to kill. They believe the world will support them as victims. They haven’t considered loosing it all.

Interesting gamble.


It's a gamble the current US administration and the State Department will back them on. The pressure that our government will exert on Israel to de-scalate and negotiate will grow daily. We're a big part of the problem.

“””Flatten Gaza and turn the sand into glass. Retake it, rebuild it later, “”” If your scenario were to happen, then GAZA should never be rebuilt. Leave it as a memorial for the anti-semites to visit to see first hand what can happen to them.

I like the idea to leave it as a Memorial for these Anti-Semites so that thet can see what can happen to them.

Bulldoze the entire Gaza Strip, from the eastern border to the Med. Think Rachel Corey “flat”.

Then plant olive trees.

Hamas wants a do over.

Just as Hitler wanted a do over after bombing Britain failed to get the Brits to surrender.

Screw them. Bibi says this is just the beginning. Hamas doesn’t just need to get bloodied; they need to be permanently neutralized. I think that coming across the rave festival was bad luck for the innocents at the festival, and maybe worse luck for Hamas. Reports are that Hamas couldn’t have known about it in advance and stumbled on it after breaching the fence. That being said, Hamas’ response revealed barbarity that the modern world has never seen since the invasion of Nanking (Nanjing) by Japan in 1937. The big difference is that cell phone technology and the internet has put the horrors in front of the world that are undeniable and can’t be covered up. It’s the truth, for a change, that technology has revealed to us.

Yup no quarter. All the way because just doing it partially will just leave the rest more resolute. My uncle used to say if you have a problem, get rid of the problem, then you have no problem.

“It’s a gamble the current US administration and the State Department will back them on. The pressure that our government will exert on Israel to de-scalate and negotiate will grow daily. We’re a big part of the problem.”

We agree on the above. The current administration is running the Obama term III middle east Muslim Brotherhood model. They can’t take a side, without taking a side. Soon the media will turn against the Jewish state, and run 24/7 media about how bad the Israeli’s are to the Palastinians. Problem is, they expect people will care.....and this time there is a good chance they won’t. Twitter and Ticktoc footage is already out there, courtesy of GoPro from Hamas and Gaza strip residents.

I believe that Iran, MB, Palestinians, Hamas, State Department, CIA, FBI, Valerie Jarrett and Obama believed they could control the narrative. Controlling the narrative helps control the response. I think they may be wrong. When people at an Iranian Soccer match denounce Hamas, the narrative has been lost.

That’s a name I have not heard of for a long time.

Of course. They are only interested in killing others. When they are done, they don’t want someone retaliating in kind.

Forget it.

They deserve every bit of justice exacted.

I heard it put this way: There is no problem that the proper application of high explosives cannot fix.

There must be tens of thousands of dead Gazans to preceed a cessation of the war.

Gaza is populated by tens of thousands of young men and at least an equal number of boys who will readily invade Israel again. These vermin must be destroyed.
