Hamas attacks Israel

[Jolly]

I listened to a description last night about the IDF's attack on the aid convoy last week. Hamas set the IDF up by intermingling Hamas assets with the convoy at times. Even went so far as to have a terrorist climb on top of a vehicle and shoot his weapon, to draw attention.

The IDF took the bait and Hamas reaped the publicity rewards.

One side in this conflict has rules, the other does not. The Resident is supporting the terrorists.

It's an important idea. The strategy cannot be allowed to succeed.

The description you listened to does not correspond to what the IDF itself has been saying about the aid convoy strike. It admits to a breakdown in internal communication that led to misidentification the incident. I therefore do not believe what you listened to is accurate.

I normally don’t put much weight on Sky News reporting but this clip goes into sufficient detail and explanation to convince me at least of misidentification:

As for current “Resident” supporting Hamas terrorists I also do not believe that to be the case. To facts would suggest quite the opposite.

Biden's got splinters in his ass from trying to ride that fence.

He’s trying to be pro-Israel and anti-Bibi. It’s a very easy position to hold and is a view shared by many (most?) Israelis.

@ Mik

Whether he’s riding a fence or walking a tight rope is not the issue. The issue is whether after six months, Netanyahu’s continued scorched earth policy regarding Gaza is producing the desired results of getting the hostages back and either forcing Hamas and Islamic Jihad to lay down their arms or liquidating them altogether. The first priority being the return of the hostages. Neither objective seems to have been achieved plus Gaza now looks like Mariupol and Netanyahu and Likud are losing support for their policies from inside Israel itself.

Edit: Jon said it better than I.

Glad to hear from you. Please take of yourself.

Iran has launched waves of attacks…

[Renauda]

Not surprising but still a very stupid move.

[Mik]

I suspect a lot will never reach any target.

Saw a tweet that says "Israel responds by saying their response will be unprecedented."

[Mik]

Swell.

From what I understand, not only did they not reach their targets, none even reached Israeli airspace.

BREAKING:

Israeli sources report that the Israeli Nevatim Airbase in has been struck by 7 Iranian Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles.

Remember this guy? I never really trust his posts because half the time he reports things that are a pretty big deal but don’t get reported anywhere else.

Look at this one. Who here thinks the Israeli media referred to Israel as the ‘Zionist Regime?’

[Mik]

How I come down on that depends on Iran’s intentions and next steps. Neither are currently known.
