Hamas attacks Israel
-
Hamas did this on purpose. As brutal as they could be. Again, this was on purpose, what are the chess moves after this, since they knew it would draw Israel into a massive reaction. Is it a trap?

United Front.
Dream of the Arabs.

Yes, and potentially a "Let's see how dedicated the US really is to Israel" if Israel gets into trouble. I wasn't alive for it, but the 6 day war outcome is impressive.

These aren’t chess moves. This is picking up the board and beating people over the head with it because you keep losing.

Impressive is kind of dismissive. It was frigging insane, unbelievable, and miraculous. As was their survival and victory in the Arab- Israeli war in 1948.

Like the blood draw person counting to three and sticking you on two.

@Horace They do that? How rude.
We had a particularly memorable one with my infant son, who was expecting a single shot, and then they got him in both legs simultaneously. The howls of outrage were really quite something.

We had that happen one time when she was a baby and really sick. It was traumatic for all.

Reminiscent of the bed springs and frame the Red Army welded to their tank turrets to deflect and neutralize panzerfaust charges during the Battle for Berlin in ‘45:

The whole world is trying to stop IDF from going after the very people who brought this misery to Gaza. In my view, if you want to halt the ground invasion, the Gazans need to hand over all Hamas leadership and every other soldier they can find.

I wonder what strategic purpose that announcement serves.

I was thinking it was more motivated by domestic politics. There must be a faction that is worried that, by delaying so much, he's getting 'soft' and beginning to worry about outside voices.

WSJ is saying that the delay is at the White House's request - so that the US can position assets to protect troops elsewhere.

That's as of today. A couple days ago it was 'White House requests delay for negotiations over hostages and supplies'. Before that there was delay but no stated reason. Ever since 10/10 or so various reports said it was 'imminent'.
Obviously I have no idea what's going on, what's realistic and not, etc. But neither does the average Israeli citizen, Hence my thought that there must be some wondering if he's getting soft.
