Hamas attacks Israel

That doesn’t eliminate Hamas. It eliminates members of Hamas (or non-members) who happen to be armed at the moment.

It’s a conundrum

Some shitty news.

So….Qatar,… Doha…we did say we would hunt down everyone like after Munich in 1972.

[bachophile]

I wonder if they are going take back the 747 they gifted to the Donald.

[jon-nyc]

Ha. You think Trump signed off on it?

[bachophile]

Can’t be otherwise. The US owns Qatari airspace. Can’t be any other way.

[jon-nyc]

Haven’t followed closely. Do we know it was an air strike?

[bachophile]

Actually don’t know but that’s what every one here is assuming.

[bachophile]

Yes now saying 15 planes, 10 munitions dropped. Enroute refueling. No way the US didn’t know. They have a huge Air Force presence there which means they completely own the skies.

I like that guy.

Qatar has the interesting distinction of having been bombed by both Iran and lsrael in the span of 6 months.

From CBS:

The Qatari government condemned what it called a "cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential compounds housing several members of Hamas' political bureau in the Qatari capital, Doha."

The head of the snake,

Unlike Putin, at least Netanyahu did not order the strike to kill a couple of dozen pensioners lined up for their monthly cash pension.

Am thinking though that the two of them are feeding off one another in their bloody minded determination to out swagger one another.
