Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Obliteration is going to happen and on a scale we not seen before, allies are watching people celebrating this attack,

You be bet one thing currently 150,000 Israeli soldiers are being mobilized with another 80,000 getting notices to calling them up , make no mistake this will be full scale war

The registration of the Jeep that took the bloodied woman away is clearly visible in the video.

So if it's stollen Israeli car maybe it has a tracker or if Palestinian then in sure Israel has all information of car registrations.

I hope she is OK.

They couldnt even win in Lebanon, though they killed enough. Even after America struggling against two lightly armed insurgencies how is there a perception you can win politically by having a big modern army blowing sh!t up?

They will not be as restrained now as they were in the Lebanon.

They know that they will keep being attacked whether they go for peace or war. Hamas don't care.

If they don't prevail then every Jew in Israel dies.

I dont support Hamas or the destruction of Israel just questioning what exactly you think they can achieve this time compared to everything else they have tried. There are a fair few war crimes associated with Lebanon so not sure how you think they or their allies were restrained in that conflict.

They will destroy alot of Gaza and make things even more miserable for the inhabitants there and Netayanhu will play the strong man. That is all.

Maybe they will force Egypt to open the border and take the population of Gaza, let them set up their theological fascist utopia in a skelp of western Egypt.

There are lots of options, the only certainty is that it will be at a much more severe level than anything seen in 50 years.

They will look at it now from the perspective of "if we don't win here. We all die".

That's not been a consideration in 50 years.

It seems to be the standard, at least on social media, that supporters of Palestine also support Putin. Perhaps it's because they hate the Americans, and NATO in general?

Paul Murphy TD reposted this.

Maybe but that the response will dwarf anything seen in the last 50 years is a certainty.

Why is it unrealistic?

It's probably the only one thing that resolves the issue.

Egypt wont take them on or any other country. They have never shown any inclination to want to take them on. That is what makes it unrealistic.

Perhaps next the Republic will take all Catholics up from up North.

I've no doubt Israel's response will be pretty heavy handed. But there seems to be a lot more coordination with this latest Hamas attack and I feel they have planned for a full scale ground war with Israel. Thousands of rockets have been fired by Hamas, but what have they not used yet? (drones etc...)

Hamas have to know Israel are going to retaliate.

I'll echo this second paragraph . I also know an Israeli man and he gets very animated when you mention Palestinians. The hatred is like nothing I have seen for anyone else. Sub human is not even coming close to how Israeli's see Palestinian's. He lives in an area with regular rocket attacks over many years. Did an extra year military service voluntarily. His prime response is "what do you expect us to do" when attacked and I agree with him. If you attack Israeli's then expect an attack back. He had to agree with some British Muslims on the course to not mention the ongoing conflict (5 years ago and not the current one) so we could all at least have a night out in peace.

Hamas got great PR from this today

And likely will get much more support from their supporters from the outcome of today.

They have likely put in motion for a lot of Palestine civilian to be killed.

I don't think they care thought.
