So what next...
Is Israel planning on driving the Palestinians into the sea?
They did say they were going to 'fundamentally change the middle east'...
Are they planning on launching the ground offensive to annex northern Gaza?
Are they planning on pushing the whole lot of them into Egypt and taking the lot?

What are the odds?

Dear Critic,

«What are the odds?»

This depends whether Hezbollah will also get significantly involved in the war - if they do, then in a matter of weeks Lebanon's population will increase by 2 million people.

Lets assume then that Hezbollah will stay out:

Israel is not interested in Gaza and my bet is that it will not annex any of it.

Rather, Gaza will be combed a few times through in order to find and kill all Hamas members and supporters and destroy all tunnels, weaponry and weapon factories. Also in order to find and release all Israeli hostages, alive or dead. To facilitate this comb, one section at a time, the population will be ordered to move north and south a few times.

During the comb, the majority of buildings in Gaza will be destroyed, mostly from the air, that is because the last times Israel entered Gaza, nearly every building was trapped, killing many Israeli soldiers. Unfortunately, those who refuse to vacate are unlikely to survive, even if innocent.

The Gazans could avoid this destruction and death if only some genuine local body of people was willing to take over and conduct this comb themselves.

Once Gaza is cleaned, Israel and the international community will install and support a new administration for the remaining people, by the remaining people and/or by Egypt.

So long as Gaza remains clean of terrorists, it will enjoy the same comfortable conditions it used to have before Hamas took over it.

This discussion goes around and around without taking into account of
the demands of Islam. This attack on Israel was as certain as the sun
coming up tomorrow.
You all need to read the Koran. then you might understand what has
been going on for the last 1400 years.
It boils down to this; The world belongs to Allah and moslems are
expected to impose Islamic governments on all of it.
It really is that simple.

"You all need to read the Koran."

Why is one religion better or worse than another?

1879 letter from Baruch Levy to Karl Marx:

The Jewish people as a whole will be its own messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which it is said that when the messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.

Published in La Revue de Paris p. 574...

Now I don't know if the claimed letter is true or not, and I don't wish to sound all 'Jewish conspiracy theorist'...
but I know Orthodox Jews look forward to the Messianic age, Moshiach and have Noahide Laws for the Gentiles..
- and all that stuff is easily verifiable.

As a regular non-religious Australian, which part of either of those religions and world changing plans do you think I might find appealing?
Answer = None...

Village idiot,

What the video shows is that all the weapons carried by Hamas that could be identified were Russian or Chinese. There is zero evidence that US-made weapons were being used and neither you nor Baldrick have provided any evidence.

As a Hamas/Putin/Xi apologist, you have no problems lying about this or anything else. What with the Greens loving murderous dictators?

SR disputes the truth of what I wrote about the daughter of Eyal Waldman and then proceeds to confirm my post. Go figure!!

Here and elsewhere, SR has been trying to justify the civilian massacres perpetrated by Hamas on the basis that those killed were somehow connected to the IDF. What's next? Those beheaded babies were going to grow up to be IDF fighters and were therefore legitimate targets?
