| #8 During his acceptance speech, he thanks Khashoggi to show how much he cares. Ouch! Awfully sharp scalpel you’ve got there, Penguin. |

| #7 Why are they waiting? So Hamas can finish killing the hostages, and what follows won't be the IDF's fault. |

| #6 They want to see more jews killed, they know a land assault on Gaza would be deadly. This talking point is their quiet laments. |

| #5 The Iranians make some deal with MBS to trade Gaza to the Saudis. For what? I don't know, but those Saudi guys are rich. MBS and the Saudis get their more respected (and on the payroll) Imams to take over Hamas. They have the money to do this. MBS and the Israelis make some deal that really helps the Saudis and gives the Israelis what they need. The Saudis build the Arab Riviera on Gaza and a major port there as well. Plenty of local labor for construction and hotel services. Becomes a tourist spot. MBS gets a well deserved Nobel Peace Prize for solving the crisis. During his acceptance speech, he thanks Khashoggi to show how much he cares. |

| #4 ^Yea, well, I served (as a reservist) in artillery - and the standard complaint is that IDF uses planes in situations where arty would do. |

| #3 There was an old joke: You’re a soldier and there is someone out in the dark, so you fire a couple shots in that direction. If they return accurate machine gun fire they are German. If they return with accurate rifle fire they are British. If they stand up with their hands in the air they are Italian. If a howling human wave comes at you they are Russians. If it is quiet for a few minutes and then you are blasted to bits by artillery they are Americans. |

| #1 Because it's better to use artillery shells than soldiers' lives. |
