    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Okay. For every Israeli executed, five more buildings go down.

            Left up to me, I'd set off a neutron bomb in the middle of the strip, let the corpses pile up and rot, while cutting off all water, utilities and medical aid for thirty days. Let the plague take its course.

                All those towns in the south have sort of internal quasi army self defense units all armed with military weapons. Many of them were simply overwhelmed in numbers. In some places they succeeded in wiping out the marauders but obviously not everywhere. Kibbutz Beeri had 100 members dead. Some were families including children tied up and executed.

                That makes sense to me.

                  I do not like that "no mercy anymore."
                  At least as a blanket statement.

                        From a BBC story in March

                        Israeli gun ownership is low at about 2% of the population. It compares to about 30% of the population owning a gun in the US.

                        https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-65110881

                        I'm surprised to see it that low.

                            Interesting flight path on this Israeli military plane

                            There are a few Israeli military planes up, they all look like this

                            The few commercial flights leaving Tel Aviv look normal

                              I don’t know how to interpret this as a war. Is there a way to target those responsible for the terrorist attack? Is turning Gaza into glass a close enough approximation?

                                Isn't calling it a war something you do to establish new rules, not necessarily actions?

                                  I am sure parallels to Dresden and Hiroshima exist.

                                    It’s a war, a war between Hamas and Israel in which Hamas fired the first shot in aggression. Israel is defending itself.

                                    Not sure if you’ll find many parallels, Hamas is not a sovereign state and nor is there a recognised Palestinian state. In that sense it’s sort of like a civil war (which it is not) and sort of like, what Putin has called, a special military operation, but a purely defensive and justifiable SMO and one with a clearly defined objective - the annihilation of Hamas as a criminal and para military terrorist organisation. But on second thought it’s not an SMO either.

                                    So for now let’s settle with; it’s a war. Much more to the point.

                                      The very act of destroying Hamas creates Hamas. I’d call it a Hydra, but it’s much more insidious than that.
