Overall I think we should congratulate the Arabs on staying neutral.

The West was approaching an Era of taking a step back from foreign affairs and now Russia & Gaza happens.

I'd like to see the West go fortress. Close some military bases, reinforce borders, cut down humanitarian aid & heavy vetting on tourism.

We can't nor should we change the World. And some of our attempts only fuel counter measures. But we can control who steps on our soil.

[From a report in the commie WSJ


The war in the Gaza Strip is generating destruction comparable in scale to the most devastating urban warfare in the modern record.

By mid-December, Israel had dropped 29,000 bombs, munitions and shells on the strip. Nearly 70% of Gaza’s 439,000 homes and about half of its buildings have been damaged or destroyed. The bombing has damaged Byzantine churches and ancient mosques, factories and apartment buildings, shopping malls and luxury hotels, theaters and schools. Much of the water, electrical, communications and healthcare infrastructure that made Gaza function is beyond repair.

Most of the strip’s 36 hospitals are shut down, and only eight are accepting patients. Citrus trees, olive groves and greenhouses have been obliterated. More than two-thirds of its schools are damaged.

The destruction resembles that left by Allied bombing of German cities during World War II. “The word ‘Gaza’ is going to go down in history along with Dresden and other famous cities that have been bombed,” said Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago and the author of a history of aerial bombing. “What you’re seeing in Gaza is in the top 25% of the most intense punishment campaigns in history.”https://mishtalk.com/economics/70-percent-of-gaza-homes-destroyed-stunning-before-after-images/

I'm still struggling to see how you're connecting forced exodus with genocide. The video above these posts shows several Palestinian men on the ground in their drawers. If it was a genocide goal, why not just shoot them in the head? It seems Hamas, their leadership, did want to exterminate via genocide the Jews in Israel. They just lacked the wherewithal to do so, but they tried. Since Hamas is interwoven into the population and they use civilian infrastructure as a base of operations, the only way to root them out is to cut out everything around them as well. It's unfortunate, but what would you suggest?

Israel will own the genocide and the ethnic cleansing, if the latter happens. The resulting ignominy and estrangement from uninvolved countries will be Israel's fault: Hamas isn't responsible for the killing and destruction Israel has wrought in Gaza, nor for the killing and destruction it still intends. Does being attacked immunize the mass death of civilians and the total destruction of the other country? I don't think so. Not as a matter of morality, nor as a pragmatic one. YMMV.

In passing it deserves to be mentioned that Israel was unprepared for the invasion and failed to protect itself. When the shooting stops, there will be hell to pay domestically for this.


a New York Times investigation found that Israel’s military was undermanned, out of position and so poorly organized that soldiers communicated in impromptu WhatsApp groups and relied on social media posts for targeting information. Commandos rushed into battle armed only for brief combat. Helicopter pilots were ordered to look to news reports and Telegram channels to choose targets.

And perhaps most damning: The Israel Defense Forces did not even have a plan to respond to a large-scale Hamas attack on Israeli soil, according to current and former soldiers and officers. If such a plan existed on a shelf somewhere, the soldiers said, no one had trained on it and nobody followed it. The soldiers that day made it up as they went along.

“In practice, there wasn’t the right defensive preparation, no practice, and no equipping and building strength for such an operation,” said Yom Tov Samia, a major general in the Israeli reserves and former head of the military’s Southern Command.

“There was no defense plan for a surprise attack such as the kind we have seen on Oct. 7,” said Amir Avivi, a brigadier general in the reserves and a former deputy commander of the Gaza Division, which is responsible for protecting the region.

That lack of preparation is at odds with a founding principle of Israeli military doctrine (https://academic.oup.com/book/11907/chapter-abstract/161080637?redirectedFrom=fulltext). From the days of David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister and defense minister, the goal was to always be on the offensive — to anticipate attacks and fight battles in enemy territory.

In response to a series of questions from The Times, including why soldiers and officers alike said there had been no plan, the Israel Defense Forces replied: “The I.D.F. is currently focused on eliminating the threat from the terrorist organization Hamas. Questions of this kind will be looked into at a later stage.”https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/30/world/middleeast/israeli-military-hamas-failures.html

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:38 AM
Israeli security and military agencies produced repeated assessments (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/29/world/middleeast/israel-intelligence-hamas-attack.html) that Hamas was neither interested in nor capable of launching a massive invasion. The authorities clung to that optimistic view even when Israel obtained Hamas battle plans (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html) that revealed an invasion was precisely what Hamas was planning.

The decisions, in retrospect, are tinged with hubris. The notion that Hamas could execute an ambitious attack was seen as so unlikely that Israeli intelligence officials even reduced eavesdropping on Hamas radio traffic (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/29/world/middleeast/israel-intelligence-hamas-attack.html), concluding that it was a waste of time.

None of the officers interviewed, including those stationed along the border, could recall discussions or training based on a plan to repel such an assault.

“As far as I recall, there was no such plan,” said Yaakov Amidror, a retired Israeli general and a former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The army does not prepare itself for things it thinks are impossible.”

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:40 AM
The Israeli government had determined that the loosely organized civilian guard, known as Kitat Konnenut, would serve as the first line of defense in the towns and villages near the border. But the guardsmen had different standards of training depending on who was in charge. For years, they warned that some of their units were poorly trained and underequipped, according to two Israeli military officials with direct knowledge of the volunteer teams.

Additionally, the Israeli military reservists were not prepared to quickly mobilize and deploy. Some described heading south on their own initiative.

Davidi Ben Zion, 38, a major in the reserves, said reservists never trained to respond at a moment’s notice to an invasion. The training assumed that Israeli intelligence would learn of a looming invasion in advance, giving reservists time to prepare to deploy.

“The procedure states that we have the battalion ready for combat in 24 hours,” he said. “There’s a checklist to authorize the distribution of everything. We practiced this for many years.”

Hamas capitalized on these errors in ways that further delayed the Israeli response. Terrorists blocked key highway intersections, leaving soldiers bogged down in firefights as they tried to enter besieged towns. And the Hamas siege on the military base in southern Israel crippled the regional command post, paralyzing the military response.

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:46 AM
Previously undisclosed documents reviewed by The Times show just how drastically the military misread the situation. Records from early in the day show that, even during the attack, the military still assessed that Hamas, at best, would be able to breach Israel’s border fence in just a few places. A separate intelligence document, prepared weeks later, shows that Hamas teams actually breached the fence in more than 30 locations and quickly moved deep into southern Israel.

Hamas fighters poured into Israel with heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, land mines and more. They were prepared to fight for days. Israeli commandos apparently believed they would be fighting for just hours; one said he set out that morning without his night-vision goggles.

“The terrorists had a distinct tactical advantage in firepower,” said Yair Ansbacher, 40, a reservist in a counterterrorism unit who fought on Oct. 7. He and his colleagues mainly used pistols, assault rifles and sometimes sniper rifles, he said.

The situation was so dire that at 9 a.m., the head of Shin Bet, Israel's domestic security agency, issued a rare order. He told all combat-trained, weapons-carrying employees to go south. Shin Bet does not normally activate with the military. Ten Shin Bet operatives were killed that day.

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:46 AM
Whether Hamas knew that the military was understaffed is unclear, but it had fatal consequences. When the attacks began, many soldiers were fighting for their lives instead of protecting residents nearby. Hamas stormed one base, Nahal Oz, forcing soldiers to abandon it and leave behind dead friends.

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:51 AM
The assault on the Re’im military base left soldiers there fighting for their lives rather than coordinating a response to the invasion.

Re’im is home to the Gaza Division, which oversees all military operations in the region. It is also home to two brigades, northern and southern, dedicated to protecting about 40 miles of the border.

Like other bases, Re’im was understaffed because of the holiday. A brigade commander and key staff were away from the base, according to a senior military officer. They were summoned back before dawn, officials said, as Israeli intelligence officials tried to make sense of unusual Hamas activity (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/29/world/middleeast/israel-intelligence-hamas-attack.html) just over the border in Gaza.

Many soldiers, though, were allowed to keep sleeping. One told The Times that some did not know they were under attack until Hamas was in their sleeping quarters. Several were killed in their bunks. Others barricaded themselves in safe rooms.

The scope of the catastrophe, if not the attack itself, was preventable, according to records and interviews.

“After they built the fence, they put the headquarters in the middle of the sector,” said General Samia, the former head of the Southern Command. He said the three commanders of the brigades and division never should have been housed together so close to Gaza’s border.

“In the same camp, you all had three of them — in the same location,” he said. “What a mistake. What a mistake.”

The Israeli authorities also knew, years in advance, that Hamas planned to take out Re’im as part of its invasion, documents previously obtained by The Times showed (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html). They dismissed that plan, like the prospect of overall invasion, as implausible.

Even in May, when intelligence analysts raised alarms about Hamas training exercises, Israeli officials did not increase troop levels in the South.

The assault on Re’im led to a near blackout of communication inside the unit that coordinates troop movements across southern Israel, according to one soldier who was based there on Oct. 7.

The division that was supposed to be directing the battle was trying not to get overrun.

Even at noon, according to another Southern Command official, officers there did not understand what was happening. They assessed that Hamas had sent about 200 gunmen into Israel. They were off by a factor of 10.

It took the military most of the day to retake control of the Re’im base.

“When your division is under fire, you’re focused on clearing it from terrorists,” said General Ibrahim, the commander of the armored corps, which is based in southern Israel. “It distracts from management of the fighting more broadly.” General Ibrahim defended the military’s response, saying there are few modern armies that could have recaptured the region as quickly as Israel did.

But nobody had trained to repel an invasion.

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:53 AM
Despite the siege of Re’im, reinforcements were not far away. Thousands of soldiers were less than 40 minutes from the towns that were under attack. But as terrified citizens waited in bunkers or hid from gunmen, Israeli soldiers were hung up on the highway, unable to reach them.

A central highway connects military bases in the center and south of the country to the communities near Gaza. Pockets of Hamas gunmen set up ambushes along the route, videos from Pandora show. Israeli commanders were hesitant to send soldiers into those traps, according to two Israeli military officers who took part in conversations that morning.

“Hamas is all over the roads,” one Israeli soldier reported in a conversation recounted by a participant. “They own the street, not us.”

Winehole23
12-31-2023, 08:56 AM
Major Ben Zion, the reservist, said that his paratrooper unit left its base in central Israel, not far from Tel Aviv, in a convoy at about 1:30 p.m. They mobilized on their own, without a formal call-up order. To save time, they left without night-vision equipment or adequate body armor.

He expected to see the roads packed with soldiers and equipment and armored vehicles heading south.

“The roads were empty!” he recalled in an interview. Roughly seven hours into the fighting, he turned to the reservist next to him and asked: “Where’s the I.D.F.?”

This is what you said. That you mentioned above is the direct outcome from the bestial pogrom. I agree with your clarification. The response is decided by the one who was attacked, but it's called a response for a reason. I don't think anyone with even a brief understanding of Israel's history would consider they would do anything other than what they are doing. They are not known as being passive against attacks against their people anywhere in the world, much less on their own soil, at that scale.

I don't think they will be destroyed as an ideology. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades have relied on suicide bombings and random result rocket fire into populated areas. Their openly stated goal is the eradication of all Jews and the removal of the state of Israel. It seems now the gloves are off.

That's twice you've used the bad "kill your wife" analogy. If you killed my hypothetical wife I'd call the cops. If you barricaded yourself into a room with your family and fired rounds at the cops, you'd be putting the lives of your family in danger. Do you think it would be the fault of the cops if your family died in the crossfire?

Kill the terrorists, sure.

Starve the whole population, bomb them wantonly and knock down all their houses?

Seems wildly disproportionate, to put it mildly.
There's no guarantee of symmetry when you commit heinous acts like Hamas did, none at all. They attacked then ran back into hiding within the civilian population. It was them, not Israel, who made that decision.

I think the conditions of Geneva Article 2 have already been met. I can tick them off for you or you can read for yourself, I posted them upstream. Imho Bibi's reference to Samuel 1, comparing Palestinians to the Amalekites and the IDF guy saying "there are no innocents in Gaza" pretty much establish genocidal intent, taken together with other statements by officialdom and the wanton collective punishment of noncombatants.

As for ethnic cleansing, the intent is abundantly clear, Israel is begging Arab countries to take the Palestinians with no luck so far. All that is lacking is the execution. We'll see on that count.

Hamas may be well hidden in Gaza, but Gaza isn't a house. It's an occupied territory with ~2.3 million people. Scale matters.

Sinn Fein wasn't a sole governing body. There was a solution proposed that didn't include the deaths of the entire country. Hamas doesn't have a negotiation goal, they will continue to try to eliminate the state of Israel. They are not looking for a seat at any table, they've had that option for decades.

If you need to use bad analogies and poor comparisons along with manufactured death tolls, what's your message? Is it that the killing needs to stop? Because I agree.

It's way fucked up that Hamas came into political power basically because the US insisted Hamas be legalized as a political party in 2006, because democracy was supposed to save the Middle East, or so we thought. Israel didn't want to do it, but knuckled under to Condi Rice, who was shocked when Hamas narrowly won.

Gaza hasn't had an election since. About 40% of the current population, IIRC, never got to vote for Hamas. And a little under half of those that did get to vote didn't. The margin of victory was ~3%. 44%-41% against Fatah, iirc.

Gazans are victims of Hamas too, but no one else is defending them against the settler colonial power that has imposed a brutal blockade, half throttling the whole society for 15 years.

Encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza will allow us to bring home the residents of the Outaf and the residents of Gush Katif.

"even left wingers agree with me"

that the war cabinet takes no pains to distance itself from such comments is damning.


Israeli lawmaker Moshe Saada from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party said on Tuesday that recent widespread calls to "destroy" the residents of the Gaza Strip affirm that the right-wing was right.

In an interview on pro-Netanyahu Channel 14 (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-01-10/ty-article/.premium/israels-fox-news-found-guilty-of-excluding-reform-conservative-jews/00000185-9c19-da33-a9e7-fc597e280000), Saada said that even "in the kibbutzim they say, 'destroy them.' My friends at the prosecutor's office, who fought with me on political matters, in debates, tell me, 'Moshe, it is clear that all the Gazans (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-10/ty-article/.premium/gazas-humanitarian-crisis-turns-into-a-strategic-weapon-for-israel/0000018b-b931-d03e-a3ab-bbbd43530000) need to be destroyed,' and these are statements I have never heard." This proves, he said, that the right-wing was correct just as it was on the Palestinian issue.https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-03/ty-article/its-clear-to-everyone-gazans-must-be-destroyed-israeli-lawmaker-says/0000018c-ce57-ddba-abad-cef736e40000

ethnic cleansing is being touted as the humanitarian option


The Times of Israel’s Hebrew sister-site Zman Yisrael reports that Israeli officials have held clandestine talks with the African nation of Congo and several others for the potential acceptance of Gaza emigrants.
“Congo will be willing to take in migrants, and we’re in talks with others,” a senior source in the security cabinet tells Shalom Yerushalmi.

Yerushalmi quotes Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel saying at the Knesset yesterday: “At the end of the war Hamas rule will collapse, there are no municipal authorities, the civilian population will be entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. There will be no work, and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones.”https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-officials-said-in-talks-with-congo-others-on-taking-in-gaza-emigrants/

I recognize Hamas is not a lawful actor. Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as shields and has committed unspeakable war crimes. Israel has a right to defend itself, but that right isn’t unlimited. The IDF says it upholds international humanitarian law, but it’s hard to see how the conduct of the air campaign in Gaza is lawful.https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/legal-questions-answered-and-unanswered-in-israel-s-air-war-in-gaza

US is pointing the finger at ISIS, but who knows
IDF said they have acted in 6 of the regions they claim are partly responsible for the attack on Oct 7th. I don't know if they had acted in Iran at that time, but also not sure they'd target random people. Remote detonation from a suitcase bomb doesn't sound like ISIS but who knows.

True, there is no money in (peace & contentment)...the MIC's are living proof that it's a Godsend of money, without end. All it costs is lives. We're taking a break ourselves from those lives being lost. Nobody, but your's truly wants to see Biden back out at Dover with his watch. But thru a redirect Biden has found a way to keep the MIC pumping until the American public will once again (AND THEY WILL) stand for the aforementioned Biden to be back out there at Dover, with the aforementioned watch.

They could show destruction of vehicles but not if people were a part of the scene.
They would show injured soldiers trying to regain their ability to move, but they would leave out the footage that showed the actual explosion or whatever that led to the injury.
Its been fairly squirrelly on rules. Lots of analysts trying to assess situations would tell the audience to watch their telegram footage to the audience watching the entire event.

CNN: Pakistan carries out military strikes on separatist targets in Iran following deadly attack on its own soil by Tehran


Pakistan carried out a series of deadly military strikes on what it said were separatist militant hideouts inside Iran, in the latest incident across their shared border that has sent tensions between the two neighbors soaring.

The new strikes mean both Pakistan and Iran have now taken the extraordinary step of attacking militants on each other’s soil this week at a time of expanding conflict in the Middle East and wider region.

Islamabad said Thursday its forces launched a “series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes” in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province as part of an operation called “Marg Bar Sarmachar” — a phrase which loosely translates to “death to the guerrilla fighters.”

A “number” of militants were killed during the operation, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry added.

Tehran demanded “an immediate explanation” from Pakistan over the strikes, Iranian state-aligned Tasnim news agency reported, citing an official.

The largest most costly modern wars were fought on European soil.
The most costly war NOW is being fought on European soil.
If you have not noticed, dictators running European countries have caused massive instability in Europe historically. Huge conflicts.

Get a clue please. Putin is a dictator and is doing what dictators do.
So depressing you are ashamed of Europe... It pains the board you are ashamed instead of actually looking into the leaders and economic/political situations causing the largest wars.

In your lifetime... this is not new stuff. You need to read about things that happened before you were born. You get Woke now?

This is you basic Trumpish attitude. No clue as to any sort of patterns in conflict. Just walk into the middle of a complex movie and think you know everything.

Typically in standoffs with hostage negotiation involved it is not policy for the police to let the hostage taker go and hope they release them. You can imagine what Israeli thought on that is given their history in being taken captive.

What is sad is that Hamas could have built comprehensive public systems with the effort they put into the their military infrastructure.

...they knew to do so (public systems) would be for naught, but, that they could inflict maximum damage to the Jews thru the "Pearl Harbor" sneak attack mode and then run like hell back to the caves before America could kibbutz forth.

Those are the yet undelivered Tomahawk missiles in your article are for Australian submarines and they are paying $900M in Australian dollars which comes to about $2.6M USD per missile.

Not even then is it $320M USD.

And if China had said "yes" as soon as the genocide was over, we'd start divorce proceedings from them so the taint of genocide would be China's & China's alone..."They're terrible, we won't have anything to do with them going forward, until there is an accounting and even if there is one, we still won't talk to them except on rare occasions and even then maybe not.

ICJ finds South Africa's application plausible, orders provisional measures to prevent genocide.

The ICJ has zero power to enforce its orders, and this ruling didn't touch the merits of the case.
