“So we can only hope that Israel will ignore the voices of compromise and press on to a thorough and decisive victory that will end the cycle of violence once and for all.”

It’s easy to think that the Arabs cannot be convinced to end their violence regarding Israel, but think about Japan in WW2, they were absolutely INSANE. So did anyone really think they would flip 180 degrees like they did, until after they actually did flip - I doubt it.

civilians are looting Hamas bases

That's pretty cool. Turn the masses against Hamas.

If and when the masses give all of Hamas the Ceaucescu treatment, then and only then we may have lasting change in Gaza.

Excellent point. Repentance is always possible.

I watched an Israeli army video today. It showed a Hamas leader’s house adjacent to a school, with a tunnel into the basement of a hospital. That basement had facilities and signs of holding hostages at some point in this.

The Japanese only had a radical militant faction in their government for a couple of decades.

Muslims have been radical for the entire 1,400 years of their existence.

Problem is that Japan was but one country. Muslims are spread all around the world.

Gather all the rioting nuts in the public square and nuke them. How do you get them to gather in the public square? Simple-a public burning of guess what? Tom Tancredo had two cities in mind. Iran has the city of Qom.

I hope when the Israelis finish with the Hammies, they come here and kick the crap out of the poison Ivy League azhos. They should know better and deserve an ass kickin. This isn’t a fake ass Hollywood movie going on. This is real life.

Israel must ignore the jackals, hyenas and psychopaths in the UN. As must we.

i hope the article’s title is an accurate predictor; it may be in the short run and that is good, imo, but i doubt it in the long run, unless God is at the bottom of National Israel’s success. basically, Israel must fail under human control until the second coming of Christ secures it as ruling seat of the world. the hope for us in Christ is that God is controlling the current incarnation of Israel, and once again gathering His people there.

the author (perhaps not a believer) betrays a lack of understanding of the real cause of that conflict—of Judah, Israel as God’s people and land, His covenant with the same, and God’s eternal claim on Jerusalem, and the surrounding lands.

it’s the devil at the bottom of all the resistance to Israel, because he knows he must deny and frustrate God’s plan for that people and land to prevent his own demise. even so, the devil plays his role, no matter what his eventual failure. he can’t help himself and his hardened heart. his main pawn in that is of course the christian heresy of islam.

as i read God’s Word, if God allows it, and God is always right, this conflict will go on. no stratagem of man will stop it permanently. there is no stopping the devil from waging war in the middle east until Jesus steps in Himself to end it all.

“There is no force of Hamas capable of stopping the IDF. The IDF is advancing at every location. “


That’s great, kid !

Don’t get cocky.

Every military disaster starts with over-confidence.

That is Hamas’ parliament? Some people have bigger home theaters in their homes. Hamas is so screwed.

1. If the IDF reported, or rather if the media reported that the IDF reported, that Hamas was destroyed, we would have at least one reason to doubt it.

2.If Hamas were destroyed, what prevents regeneration? This could be long distances away, given they now have very long range weapons.

3. What incentive does Israel have to destroy Hamas? That would result in slashed aid coming in. More to the point, Netanyahu would have to face the prosecution’s that await.

4. Probably should not expect “vistory” all that soon.

“We must commit ourselves to this process because if we don’t find a solution, we will experience a perpetual cycle of violence moving from generation to generation from funeral to funeral.”

Gee that has been the case for decades now. Involvement or non-involvement seems to have little effect. Both seem to produce the same negative results.

Perhaps letting them figure it out, may be what is best.

I think they are different beasts. Islamics have been violent from the get go. And it took two nukes to get the Japanese to settle down. One can hope they can finally be tamed at some point, but I’m not going to bet my life on it. I do bet that if humanity lasts, they will be the same backward people 50 to 100 years from now.
