Hamas attacks Israel

[Jolly]

Would that be a bad idea?

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.

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.

Maybe Larry was right.

They are a 13th century people. Treat them accordingly.
