Hamas attacks Israel

[Rainman]

I've always liked Netanyahu. I've been wrong? I guess I need some reading to understand why he is disliked by Bachophile and nearly half the public.
But it's so great and reassuring to hear from Bachophile, jeez, I can't imagine what he is going through. Thoughts and prayers.

Maybe IDF intelligence is not so remiss as portrayed.

they would be forced to Intervene

I guess they finally decided that Mr. Biden really is that far gone.

A bit late for that, I think.

To say that “continued military operations” are a red line is basically giving them an ultimatum to cease hostilities.

As terrorist motivations go, a strong Israeli reaction, and the fallout from it, is the most plausible one.

Specifically derailing the Saudi-Israeli deal.

In that sense, Iran already won.

That’s how I read it as well. I understand also that in the last 12 hours Israeli jets air struck Aleppo airport in Syria. A good thing that the 2nd USN Carrier Group is en route.
This is shaping up to be a multiple party hot one.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these …

Ah, never mind.

That deployment has been scheduled for months. Duration is six months.

Yeah. Look how that worked out for Hitler and Napoleon.
