Apparently the US is bombing Iranian troop positions in Syria for rocket attacks against US facilities in the mideast, for those who thought it would be Israel that broadened the war.
Israel did broaden the war.
They took out their rage against the actions of 2-3000 on 2 Million.

What a bummer to be a non-voting resident of Gaza.
Or Hamas did by integrating their weaponry to civilian locations and denying Palestinians the ability to move to avoid bombing.

In other news, Iran denies that Hamas killed civilians, only military targets.
You say these things as if Israel is acting wantonly and irrationally. Hamas attacks Jewish civilians, raping women, beheading children, burning people alive. Hamas puts their HQ under hospitals. Hamas puts their weapons next to schools and hospitals and government buildings. Hamas puts up road blocks preventing Palestinians from heeding Israeli warnings to move south. Hamas runs their terror cave network through and into residential areas. Exactly what is Israel supposed to do, invite Hamas to dinner and sing Kumbaya together? Israel may have its flaws but Hamas is pure evil.

If Trump were president, he'd be blaming liberal democrats that not enough Palestinians had died, ordering more deaths.
He'd turn it into a racial conflict inside the USA.

He would have the same take on the situation that Putin has.

Possibly none of these wars happened if we had President Trump 2.0. We had peace and prosperity, and five Mideast Peace deals, until the Plandemic.

Biden-Obama-Blinken gave us a disastrous Afghanistan implosion, a proxy war w Russia, and Israel-Gaza.

Don't forget, as Obama was cozy w the Muslim Brotherhood, Biden is likewise soft. He just released $ 7 Billion to Iran, and removed trade barriers that blocked tens of Billions in oil revenues. Appeasement. Afghanistan revealed poor Military and political leadership, and armed terrorists for decades.

$20-30-40 Billion less, likely no war.

No explanation for the IDF being asleep. Were key people in Ukraine or brothels?

I always felt like Britain kinda gets too much blame for their part in this tbh. Did they play a part? yeah, but at the time their hand was also forced by having to deal with terrorist attacks by the palestinians on brits lol.

I feel like Israel would be walking themselves into a trap by going in. They need to find a diplomatic solution and get their hostages out and get this ended. Then just create a stronger barrier and a bolder 2nd amendment. Leave the Gazans alone completely and let them build their own infrastructure.

Trump would have completely taken us out of Syria as well but for getting backstabbed by our own military and the huge pressure campaign by the media and other party that he was "killing the kurds". As if the US president had a responsibility to the Kurds and not US interests.

When we say Biden, we're talking about the Biden White House, not the man specifically. Unless its to make fun of him falling down or something stupid like that. Nobody really knows who's running it, it could be Blinken and Kirby or could be Obama in the background. The report that the FBI is protecting Biden and blackmailing the administration could be true too.

There's no way to do it without basically leveling Gaza unless you are going to try and root out an enemy with tunnels and rubble to fight in. While it might be effective, it likely won't be worth the long term loss of life for Israeli soldiers and hostile neighbors. The USA cannot take in Gazans to help Israel force them out of their land and pushing them to Egypt will just create a new front while making Egypt a permanent enemy.

this. To me there is absolutely NO end game. Like with Afghanistan. What will be left is:

- a rump of Hamas (cause lets be blunt - you are not killing every one of them), l
- a damaged but not destroyed tunnel system (unless you go in with a ground offensive and likely lose hundreds if not thousands of IDF soldiers in the kind of fight where overwhelming technology and firepower don't matter as much). \
- and then a severly destroyed gaza that will receive in the next few years a ton of international material aid (or else horrific starvation and deprivation) that will be a conduit for Hamas to rebuild capacity.

Rinse and repeat.

PS. To me this is the biggest sin. Bennie is playing to his domestic hard right audience. They don't CARE that what is going on is collective punishment. They welcome it. Think it is right. Read a different Torah than I. But the long game is likely to leave Israel LESS secure.

I always felt like Britain kinda gets too much blame for their part in this tbh. Did they play a part? yeah, but at the time their hand was also forced by having to deal with terrorist attacks by the palestinians on brits lol.

The main terrorist attacks in Palestine under the British mandate were done by zionist extremist groups like the Irgun and Stern gang, terrorist organizations which were led by two future Israeli prime ministers, Menachem Begin and Itzak Shamir.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irgun_attacks

Most notorious were the bombing of the King David hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin, which was done by the Irgun terror cell, led by future PM Begin. They also carried terror attacks in Europe.

As is always the case, there are two sides to these stories, not to mention context and back story which generally undercuts the Jews as indiscriminate terrorist narrative.

Deir Yassin was a village on high ground that was used by Arabs to attack convoys that were bringing food and water (humanitarian aid for civilians anyone?) to Jerusalem, which was being blockaded by Arabs (crimes against humanity, anyone?). It was a valid military target. Jews allowed Arabs to evacuate the city. Some Arabs feinted leaving and attacked, killing Jews. The Jews fought back, killing Arab fighters and civilians.

King David bombing…the hotel was a target because Britain reportedly stole Israeli intelligence and housed it there. Some 2500 Jews were also arrested. Israel made 3 warning calls before the bombs went off, which the British refused to heed. Jews were also killed in the attack. Jewish authorities denounced the attack.

I have been reading a good deal about the region. It is fascinating. The degrees to which this is complex is kind of amazing. For those who may be interested, go back to WW1 and Britain. In many ways the current story starts there.
I always felt like Britain kinda gets too much blame for their part in this tbh. Did they play a part? yeah, but at the time their hand was also forced by having to deal with terrorist attacks by the palestinians on brits lol.

The main terrorist attacks in Palestine under the British mandate were done by zionist extremist groups like the Irgun and Stern gang, terrorist organizations which were led by two future Israeli prime ministers, Menachem Begin and Itzak Shamir.

Most notorious were the bombing of the King David hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin, which was done by the Irgun terror cell, led by future PM Begin. They also carried terror attacks in Europe.
As is always the case, there are two sides to these stories, not to mention context and back story which generally undercuts the Jews as indiscriminate terrorist narrative.

Deir Yassin was a village on high ground that was used by Arabs to attack convoys that were bringing food and water (humanitarian aid for civilians anyone?) to Jerusalem, which was being blockaded by Arabs (crimes against humanity, anyone?). It was a valid military target. Jews allowed Arabs to evacuate the city. Some Arabs feinted leaving and attacked, killing Jews. The Jews fought back, killing Arab fighters and civilians.

So Jewish authorities planned the bombing of the main hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 people, and then they denounced it??

Did you watch the video I posted above of the people who carried the Deir Yassin and Tantura massacres?

Here they are:


Deir Yassin was carried over as a purely terroristic operation, it was an incredibly sadistic and violent massacre of an entire town that was meant to send the message to the Arab villagers to pack up and leave their villages if they didn't want to be next. That massacre was the proverbial embodiment of terrorism, which is defined as "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims". The aim here was ethnic cleansing.

The spirit of Deir Yassin is alive and well in Israel, a former Irgun terrorist who participated in that massacre is being officially used as an Israeli army elder figure and cheerleader advocating the massacre of all Palestinians in Gaza:
