Hamas attacks Israel

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.

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

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!".

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

I wonder if they have specific concerns besides missiles

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

Then solve the problem and you won't have to hear it.

Ya sure, like we’re supposed to believe that Larry was imperfect, I don’t think so.

[George K]

Also, should we pin this thread?

[jon-nyc]

Now Israel is saying 1400 dead and 199 hostages.

[Mik]

Hamas is saying they might release the non-Israeli hostages if conditions are right, and they are being treated as guests.

Guests. Y’know, I do a lot of hosting and I do not recall ever hooding my guests.

Obviously, you host the wrong kinds of gatherings.

[Mik]

That’s at Jon’s house, George.

[jon-nyc]

@Mik said in Hamas attacks Israel:

That’s at Jon’s dungeon, George.

FIFY

[bachophile]

@jon-nyc it will go up to 1800 dead

still about 400 not IDed yet

@jon-nyc said in 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.

After so many years of working closely with the Palestinians, they are no longer strangers, but your friends and colleagues. You don't blame your friends and colleagues for something done by terrorists not related to your friends and colleagues.
