    Let them kill each other. Keep America out of it.

    As for any Americans captured or killed, they knew they were living in a dangerous place. Not a good reason to get involved militarily.

    I’m sure the families of the American hostages killed wouldn’t support your plan.

    It’s a fair question given that we have document citizens from over 160 countries. Overwhelmingly male. Hardly Mexican and CEntral American moms and families.

    She got off easy. There are videos of a kidnapped naked Israeli woman strapped to the the back of a truck and driven through Gaza City.

    we need to remember this when people
    Acquiesce or try to negotiate. These are animals and deserved to be treated as such. No different than isis or the cartels. Ruthless and only understand language of violence. Keep in mind there is a 0.00% Iran wasn’t fully Aware and most likely planned by quds force. I say give exactly what seem to want. Overwhelming violence. Relentless and unforgiving. No interest in talking or negotiating.

    Edit—More and more pics of dozens of women and kids slaughtered point blank. Horrific

    You are correct. I made up a papal name rather than taking the two minutes of Google time that would have delayed my zinger.

    You false flaggers here on the left sound just about as smart as the 1/6 false flaggers on the right.

    This may cause a temporary distraction for Bibi but a lot of people are already blaming this on him - as Israel was distracted with Bibi constitutional takeover shit and Hamas (and probably Iran) took advantage. Hamas likely has hostages and being a leader with your citizens held hostage is never a good situation to be in.

    Almost certainly not. Just the like the families of the ones held hostage would demand another immediate payment of tribute to have their loved ones released. All I can say is, I understand, but it doesn’t matter.

    The same way 9/11 brought down the Bush White House?
    If anything, this attack, whether red flag or not, will reunite Israel.

    There is a vein of thought that we’re currently in WWIII. No more millions squaring off on land. Western households aren’t having enough kids for that. Rather, a series of proxy wars in which the winners will be those countries which have the economic resources and resolve to outlast the others.

    Nothing moral about that. Nothing moral about the way Israel treats the Palestinians. Fixed it for you.

    Temporarily, just like 9/11. The political opposition (just like anywhere else in the world) will jump on the majority party’s intelligence failure just as soon as it’s politically expedient. The last time this happened in 1973, sure, Israel united temporarily to win the war, but Meir and her party were out less than a year later. The public was extremely angry that her government was caught off guard strategically, that it failed to preemptively strike the Arabs on the morning of 6 October when the intelligence suggested war was imminent, and that Israel pulled up short of decisive victory once it had the enemy on the run. There were good reasons for all those things, but the opposition party was not going to let Meir off the hook. The same thing will happen again. It’s ludicrous to think Netanyahu allowed this to happen with actionable intelligence in hand. He would have salivated over the opportunity to hit first and show the world the evidence of Iran’s plan (not that his usual detractors would have believed him).

    Those were all armed and equipped Israeli soldiers in that video. That was just one video, but I am surprised to see the that Hamas got the drop on so many of them with Israel’s culture of preparedness. A music festival, sure. That’s about as difficult as the first 15 minutes of a school shooting. Absolutely jaw dropping how big this attack was.

    A lot of words from you for a conclusion that is absurd. The US agreed to the release of the $6 billion only a few weeks ago. We don’t even know if that money has yet been released. This attack by Hamas has been in the planning stage for months and months and months. The chances of the attack not taking place until $6 billion was released to Iran is zilch.
