Hamas attacks Israel

[jon-nyc]

Apparently the system can be overwhelmed and they sent thousands of rockets.

By the way, I wonder if/how Israeli retaliation will be affected by the fact that Hamas took all those hostages?

I’ve read dozens and even hundreds of hostages were taken. There doesn’t seem to be any clarity on that yet.

Of course, there are other theories….

Be seeing you….

"The Israeli Defense Force has Increased the number of Reservists that have been called to Active Service by roughly 80,000 with over 150,000 Reservists now having received Orders to Report for Duty."

Gaza is 17sq miles, half the size of Naperville, IL.

150k soldiers? Are they planning a house to house search?

Would that be a bad idea?

[jon-nyc]

Probably find a lot of rockets etc that way but probably few living hostages.

Latest barrage targets Tel Aviv and Ashkelon.

My bad those dimensions are Gaza city not the whole strip. The strip is 4 Napervilles.

Still it’s narrow, between 6-12 km. With only 20k soldiers you could literally stand shoulder to shoulder across the strip at it’s widest point.

To them, she's just another Western or Jewish whore, deserving of whatever was done to her.

I wonder if the German leadership will have something to say about one of their citizens being murdered and defaced.

Friday was the 50 year anniversary of the Yom Kippur war, another surprise attack that caught the Israelis off guard.

I’m doubting that’s a coincidence, and image the only reason they didn’t do it on 10/6 is they’d rather it be on the enemy’s holy day rather than theirs.

What a mess. Hope Bach stays safe of course.

Sadly this type of conflict happens every couple years. Seems like it always will.

[jon-nyc]

This is different in scope and scale though. They’re calling it their 9/11. Close to 300 dead, dozens to maybe hundreds kidnapped, over 1500 wounded.

[jon-nyc]

Watch the whole thing.

@jon-nyc I saw that earlier.

These people will never be prosecuted for "war crimes" because they are random terrorists.

There's only one way they will see justice.
