Hamas attacks Israel

He will, once it’s feasible. In the mean time he’ll continue in the West Bank. He was interviewed hours after hearing the news and said there’s no other way forward in the long run.

That is about the only route forward.

He's a better man than I, Gunga Din.

[Mik]

Me too. But there is something to be said for not punishing the uninvolved.

[Jolly]

I dunno.

As widespread as this attack is, I'm not sure there are very many innocents left in Gaza.

Of course. But to say that is far, far from being able to implement that. The baby carriage meme says all you need to know about the situation there.

When the stated goal of a population is the eradication of another, believe them.

I was mostly referring to West Bank residents who, so far anyway, do not seem to be much involved.

I wonder if they have specific concerns besides missiles

I imagine the Tornados are hard to control once the satellites actually create them.

Don’t sell Jewish space laser technology short.

Seriously, though, 2km sounds like they’re worried about something other than rockets, since they go much further. Poison gas?

If you recall, MTG was soundly mocked for calling it that. Happened about 2 years ago iirc.

Thank you … for a while I began to believe that I was the only regular here who has thought of the West Bank: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/27357/and-then-there-is-the-west-bank/1

The BBC talks about "Proportionality."

[jon-nyc]

“Israel uses the IDF to protect its citizenry. Hamas uses its citizenry to protect Hamas.”

[Mik]

Pretty much sums it up.

I know our dearly departed Larry would have a thing or two to say. I miss him a lot, wish I could have met him RIP. Now back to the subject at hand.

[Mik]

Well, let me tell you what he would, and did say. "Push them into the sea!".

[jon-nyc]

He's another who would have advocated the killing of a million children on his way to church.

a repeat of southern border breach. That’s what it comes to. Plenty of rural communities also on northern borders.
