Hamas attacks Israel
-
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.

@jon-nyc said in Hamas attacks Israel:
Apparently the system can be overwhelmed and they sent thousands of rockets.
Of course, there are other theories….
Be seeing you….

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

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.

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.

Some talking head commented that, despite Netanyahu's political problems with the court system and other investigations, this is the kind of shit the brings the country together.
I may be wrong, but the Jews tend to be ruthless when it comes to this kind of shit.
I wonder how they will deal with the hostages that have been taken, presumably to act as human shields to prevent more aggressive responses from the Israelis. I hope they will not be considered "collateral damage," but I would not be surprised if they are.
