Hamas Murdered 6 Hostages in Rafah as IDF Approached

Hey, not all of us are anti-Semitic enough that we think most Israelis are idiots. That is just you.

 

Sorry I caught you lying. Again.

 

This is a fight the arguably best military, the IDF, has been engaged with for the better part of 60 years. They have yet to deliver a total victory knockout blow to Palestinian terrorists yet. Tell me why today will be different?

 

But it isn't different. The Oct 7 attack was the biggest terrorist attack, but not the first. Nor the last. The desire for a knockout blow doesn't make it any more feasible. The IDF had plenty of reasons to knockout the PLO and Hamas before Oct 7 and couldn't. Adding another reason won't change things.

This doesn't mean I'm against Israel or pro Hamas. It's just a truth we must accept. And then act pragmatically based on this truth.

 

"if Israel provided the security those resorts would stay sold out"

You present an excellent idea and one the international community should support. My only concern would be the Iranian radicals and those they back would start lobbing missles into this tourist district.

 

Keep believing this time you'll be able to kick that football, Charlie Brown! No way, with your determination, Lucy is going to pull the ball and you'll fall flat on your ass! LOL!

You gave zero specifics on why this time will be different. Again, Israel has had plenty of reasons to deliver a knockout blow to the PLO and/or Hamas over the better course of 60 years. It hasn't been possible yet. And being even more determined doesn't change jack. It's the nature of the Palestinian terror groups. They hide and recruit within the civilian population. And the more Palestinian terrorists you kill, the more they hide and recruit.

I would love it if the Israelis could deliver a total victory. It would be great for my family living there, other Israelis, and Palestinians. I would finally be able to feel safe enough to visit. But I'm also a realist. Stronger determination isn't a plan or any action that will help anyone defeat Hamas this time. And again, best military on the planet hasn't been able to deliver a knockout blow in 60 years. It's insane to believe this time will be different because....they really REALLY want to do it this time?!?!?! Bullshit.

And Israel can't keep rockets from landing in Israel. How are they going to keep rockets from landing from within Gaza? Not to mention, who works these resorts within Gaza? Palestinian civilians? The same civilians Hamas hides among and recruits?

 

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Israel has been fighting these same terror groups for the better part of 60 years. No knockout blow. Israel isn't doing anything different this time with their fight against Hamas that they didn't try before with Hamas and the PLO before them. Therefore, it's insane to believe this time will be different.

Meanwhile, the IDF is spread thin and relying on donations. Reservists have been on duty now for over 200 days, with no end in sight, and Israel has had to recall soldiers out of retirement. And with continued hostilities, there is no end in sight for the hostages either.

What will happen is what has always happened. Israel and the Palestinians will strike a deal. This is because neither side has the ability to win outright. And eventually, the Israeli people will tire of war without end, and choose temporary peace over war with no realistic chance of an end game.

 

This time you're really going to kick that football!

 

Can't fix stupid...
