What Hamas did was wrong but that doesn't give Israel a carte blanche to do whatever they want. There is limits to what an acceptable response is.
Palestine is unlucky that Hamas sent over 1500 fighters.
Now look what's going to happen the Gaza Strip.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Now people look at Palestinians as baby head chopping, women raping, all killers.
I wouldn't be surprised if Putin told Hamas he'd attack Israel from the North on the same day. Since Russia had military maneuvers the days before off the Lebanese coast. Or else the Palestinians are really that stupid.
The day they crossed was Vladimir Putin's birthday. A warped birthday present if they had that in mind.
Neither Hamas nor the current Israel government are interested in peace. So if one must go so should the other. If you take just the last twenty years what side has suffered the most by far. The West Bank is not ruled by Hamas and look at the way they are treated there. In a way Israel is lucky that Hamas only sent over around 1500 fighters and not 10 or 20 thousand
It'll go to Israel.
For lasting peace in the region It'll be the only answer.
If you had neighbours who when they spot a gap in the fence with you. Rush in with machetes and machine guns and slaughter all what neighbours they hate on the other side whilst shouting "God is great".
They won't live in peace. And Israel don't want them there ready to jump the fence again and repeat the slaughter.
It's terrible all around but can you see any other lasting answer.
They don't make for great neighbours.
Who should take control of the land in Gaza then
Similar to the 500lb bombs being dropped on homes a few hundred metres away now.
Why? Sure it was hamas that parachuted into a musical concert on isreali soil and proceeded to murder 300 civilians and kidnap whole families from the surrounding areas.
I hope myself hamas get flattened for thier actions. Its groups like this that have to world so messed up atm.
Thats what Russia did. By your logic then Ukraine should have been sanctioned for the actions of Russia invading Ukrainian territory.
Every Muslim country should have to take in their share of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. With the largest share to Iran.
Weren't Hamas some eejits all the same to go on their house to house and concert killing spree.
They are air dropping leaflets on Gaza now telling residents to move south immediately. I guess they are going to level the north first, and then tell everyone to move north while they level the south. Madness.
Israel should be getting sanctioned for all of this. It's this double standard that makes the Russian sanctions ridiculous as they cost us but Israeli sanctions wouldn't.
At least it looks like Egypt are telling the truth in all of this. The aim is to push the Gaza population into Egypt. No surprise really, just what other countries are willing to help them do it.
That would only lead to even more hardline people occupying it, if that's possible.
It's certainly failing to get confirmed. While I would take Joe Bidens word, I would not take Bibi's word.
Read the article. White House revised what was said after. Joe is NOT a reliable source.
I'll take Joe Bidens word for it.
Israeli propaganda by the looks of it..
An endless conflict is probably what Israel wants to legitimise the land it has stolen. What better way to recruit the next generation of extremists than to go in and blow their homes and families to pieces
Half a million soldiers, and 50,000 special forces and 20,000 spy's (alleged) yet not one knew about an attack of 2,000 attackers,,planned months/ years in advance, I highly doubt that ,big plan stan .
They'll demolish it first

Will they occupy it full time, nearly the only way to control the situation.
They do because they're organised that way, military service etc. Rough neighbourhood.
They have nearly half a million soldiers ready to go into Gaza now. Some turn around in a few days.
This is the most interesting article I've come across, border was basically unguarded with a skeleton force of regular army and then volunteers etc

Egypt are saying they warmed Israel 3 days before that Hamas was planning something from Gaza.

Well before this attack Netanyahu was using the palistines as a diversion, he now has all politicians behind him.
IF he facilitated or allowed the attack in any way he's some scut. But he wouldn't be the first country's leader to do it.
On any other day if a child throws a stone at that fence they'll get shot in the legs if their lucky. It's almost impossible to believe it was left pretty much unmanned on this occasion
I read that a significant proportion of what was supposed to be guarding that border was moved to the West Bank as there had bene incidents there. The border was largely defended by sensors and a fence, which was a bad idea. The drones took out the sensors and it's easy blow up a wall or fence.
How could they break through one of the most advanced borders in the world in 8 different places. Guarded with tanks Apache helicopters and everything else the mighty IDF have. You'd have to wonder
Remember Grozney Putin had a "excuse" for that just like Netanyahu has a excuse for what they're about to inflict on gaza....
In fairness I reckon their is something in the conspiracy theory Netanyahu wanted hamas to make a break into Isreal to justify what he's at now but I don't think he planned on what took place and amount of isrealis that ended up killed
