Hamas attacks Israel

Imagine living like this. The link should work although you'll have to click a button saying you're at least 18 years old.
Anyway, a couple is driving on the highway and starts to see various cars with dead bodies in or around them. Then they drive by the Hamas terrorists and luckily keep driving. They pass at least a dozen dead bodies on the ground.

It’s kind of weird that Hamas allowed them to go on their way. It’s like the mother who, along with her infant daughter and 4 year old son, were captured, taken door to door to see all their dead neighbors, then marched by foot across the border to Gaza then miles across the desert to a Gaza town only to have the captors shake their heads and tell them they were free to return when they got there. Then they saw other Hamas bands while walking across the desert and were not detained or even approached.

Egypt could always supply them, you know… Gaza is not bordered on all sides by Israel…
Egypt has discussed plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian aid through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.
Gaza, a tiny coastal strip of land wedged between Israel in the north and east and Egypt to the southwest, is home to some 2.3 million people who have been living under a blockade since Palestinian Islamist group Hamas took control there in 2007.
Egypt has long restricted the flow of Gazans on to its territory, even during the fiercest conflicts.
Cairo, a frequent mediator between Israel and the Palestinians, always insists the two sides resolve conflicts within their borders, saying this the only way Palestinians can secure their right to statehood.

The Palestinians are the trash and troublemakers of the neighborhood. No Arab country wants them. They'll use them, but they don't want them.

A lame duck government leading a war. Hm. That could lead to some strange incentives and a lack of accountability.
Israel is a parliamentary democracy, not a republic. As such there is no such thing as a lame duck government as in a US/republican governance but rather, in the case of Israel, a coalition of cooperating parties. More accountability not less. If Bibi’s Likud had an absolute majority then you would be correct, there would be a door open for a lack of accountability. At least until the next election.

Former PM Bennett deals with a reporter:
Link to videoWatch the reporter get progressively more uncomfortable and start shifting around in his seat.
If nothing else go to 4:00.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"

@George-K said in Hamas attacks Israel:
...Hamas likely avoided using any electronic devices to communicate plans of their attack.
Something came across me that said that when they did use electronic communication, they assumed they were all monitored by Israel an put out false information on them.

The IDF has notified Gaza that citizens have 24 hours (ending about 21:00 CDT) to evacuate the northern part of the area.
And then things will get serious-er.
Granted the distances aren't huge, but we're still talking about a million people.
Meanwhile Hamas is saying "Stay in your homes."

Wow this is hard to read.
