Hamas is blocking foreign nationals including Britons from leaving Gaza, the United States said on Sunday, as Israel sent more troops into the strip to join a ground offensive.

Britain was on Sunday working to rescue trapped citizens as civil disorder and looting broke out at UN aid warehouses in besieged Gaza.

American officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.

They chose to be there in a nest full
Of Arab terrorists.

There are no innocent in gaza ……

Human shields will save them... NOT!

They’re going to die regardless, and that’s the important thing... Kill them! Do not take them prisoner. Prisoner’s live to fight another day... Dead men don’t.

The question is... Was there an intelligent failure?

If Israel had started bombing GAZA based on intelligence of a ‘planned’ attack, what would the UN and it’s anti-Israeli membership say to and about Israel?

The would say the same things they are saying now... That the Israeli’s are occupiers and that they’re oppressing the Palestinian squatters. Israel can’t provoke attacks, they need to be be provoked...

Otherwise they are the bad guys, and they don’t like being the bad guys. They try their best not to be the bad guys... They warn civilians before they bomb a building and their ratio of combatant to civilian’s killed is one of the most astounding in modern warfare... 6 or 7 combatants for every civilian killed.

They likely had some intel saying an attack was coming... The date and time was probably being debated, but they obviously knew an attack was coming.

Taking preventative measures is difficult for a country that is constantly being attacked for it’s very existence by an organization who’s stated goal is a more peaceful world... Sadly, the UN’s idea of a peaceful world is a world without Jews.

I was always uncomfortable going to a place where the things I had on me represented months or years of wages to the locals. People who go to Mexico, Iran, any Middle Eastern country or North Korea deserve whatever happens to them there. If you have family there then pay to have them visit you instead of you risking your life to visit them.

I worked with a man from Iran. He had come to the United States, converted to Christianity, married and had children. He’d never contacted his family in Iran. When I asked why he said, “Because I am apostate. My family is required to kill me and my family here. I love them. I miss them, but not enough to sacrifice my loved ones here.”

Hamas= cowards. Only cowards use human shields. They know they cannot defeat Israel head on.

Well Israel could and should have fortified its border upon receiving the information.

[faithhopecharity]

98 percent of “foreign nationals” in the Gaza district are collaborators or enablers of the Arab terrorist murder gangsters, or they wouldn’t be there. Gaza is a terribly dangerous cesspool of IslamoNazi violence, not your typical vacation spa or resort

I’d much rather vacation in Tahiti, Aspen, or Japan

Well Israel could and should have fortified its border upon receiving the information.

NOW is the time for Israel to declare nuclear status by peacefully detonating a 100kt nuclear weapon below Gaza, OR, alternatively, several 10-30kt nuclear weapons to:

1) prove nuclear status and send warning,
2) destroy most of the tunnels,
3) create untunnelable barrier between Israel and Gaza (if Israel is dumb enough to keep them as neighbors.

Lots of studies done during Operation Plowshares for peaceful nuclear engineering. It would destroy most, if not all tunnels under Gaza City, and little release of radiation, unless you dig down to the detonation chamber 1000m down.

Sedan crater, above, proof that you need to drill deeper unless you want to nuclear engineer a ditch/lake/harbor/ canal THAT deep.

May Israel leave gaza where a pebble is considered a large stone.
