#11 I wonder how many of Hamas weapons came from the battlefields in the Ukraine?

Likely the ATGMs / UAS in common use in the Ukraine (ours and RU) will be used by Hamas when Israel responds. And this attack is meant to elicit a heavy response by Israel...

#18 Ref #8: Curious the national alert occurred immediately before the attacks.

Yes, curious indeed.

Weeks, possibly months in planning, I cannot accept the possibility that IDF, US Intelligence, other nation's intelligence services (satellite imagery, signals, human intelligence) missed this one.

I'm simply not buying it.

#24 Obviously, the "judicial reform" protests didn't do the job of ousting Netanyahu again, so this attack is designed to trigger a response, which even if it was limited to a strongly worded protest to the UN would be considered a "disproportionate response," to wit, a "war crime."

#26 And now, a well oiled machine swings into action: The United Nations Security Council is due to meet on Sunday after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched the biggest attack on Israel in years on Saturday, diplomats said.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack by Hamas and urged "all diplomatic efforts to avoid a wider conflagration, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.

And we all know that it means.

#31 "The main effort is to eliminate all terrorists on the border and anyone attempting to return to the Gaza Strip. We first engage with aerial fire, followed by heavy ground assets," the army said.

The most important thing is not to let them take the hostages into Gaza.

#43 If you assume Gentiles all think the same like you did then you can't now say i am different...did you made allowance in your speech for me? You did not. And by your this last topic you still do not understand. It is not the Gentiles it is the Marxist left that hates western world. And that includes some Jews too as you very well know.

If you are dilettante and lazy with your discourse and start attacking people that support you, you end up with no friends. Use chirurgic precision in speech.

Or is it just that every modern establishment is trying to outdo each other in limpdick humanist socialist cuckoldry, no matter what their dire imperatives? Israel is no exception.

#51 All you need is enough high explosive, delivered by cannon, mortar, howitzer, and rocket. Make a grid, destroy a block, shoot anyone crawling out of the rubble. Start on one side, work your way to the other. And every night, execute your Hamas prisoners with pig grease and flamethrowers, broadcast live to Gaza. Assassinate people who donate to Hamas. They know what to do, the Romans showed them the way. Just ask Carthage what motivation can do.

REMINDER 🚨: If you're wondering why Joe Biden's administration took forever to say something about the Iranian-funded Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel today, look no further than who Joe Biden appointed as the Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council in 2021, within two weeks of being inaugurated.

Biden appointed Maher Bitar as Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council.

As I reported in 2021, Bitar has a long history of terror associations, dating back to his time in college at Georgetown where he was on the executive board of the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which has documented ties to Islamic terrorist organizations including Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)."

Of course, Islamic terrorists feel empowered to attack Israel. Joe Biden just gave Iran 6 billion dollars, and his administration is full of jihadis like Bitar. Our entire national security is at risk because Hamas and Hezbollah sympathizers like Bitar are currently directing our intelligence within our National Security apparatus. "
