War

Sorry Pixy, if I'm squashing your daily thread, but this is important.

Note from K.T.: I'm bumping WeirdDave's post up before I post the TBTGT. Feel free to keep posting on the Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival on topics pertinent to that thread. You won't get banned. Let's keep it civil. Enough hot war today.

Hamas, which is extension of Iran, has launched an all out attack on Israel. What we're getting is scattered, fragmented and incomplete. But the video out of Israel is horrific. All of this is being reported on Twitter, live and in color.

Reportedly, Hamas launched 5000 rockets at Israel, overwhelming Iron Dome. They've followed it up with terrorist attacks on civilians. Hamas terrorists who had infiltered Israel took to the streets and started shooting civilians. Israel has reportedly declared war against Hamas.

The visuals are horrifying:

Palestinian militant accounts now also posting videos of them slaughtering entire rooms full of people. Given that they had free reign in several towns, impossible to guess just how many innocent people were murdered. pic.twitter.com/b8ne2s4CeN

#Breaking News: Reports are coming in that Israel’s Iron Dome system is down after Hamas sent over 5,000 missiles targeting airports and military positions.

There's a lot more, and it's all on Twitter. Strange to say that Twitter is the news source of record, but for raw breaking video, it's hard to beat. Pray for the innocents caught in the crossfire.

Hamas rocket launches are a 3rd world sh@*show. They are unaimed rockets fired by leaning rockets against walls or piles of dirt. Most of them end up in the middle of nowhere. I’m more worried about the gun men in populated areas.

And the will probably also infiltrate some suicide bombers to attack later.

"Citizens of Israel. We are at war, not an operation, not an escalation, a war.

"This morning Hamas launched a murderous surprise attack against the state of Israel and its citizens. We've been at it since early morning.

"I convened the heads of the security system, first of all I instructed to cleanse the settlements of the terrorists who had infiltrated - this operation is being carried out during these hours.

"At the same time, I ordered an extensive reserve mobilization and a retaliatory war with a strength and scope that the enemy had never known.

"The enemy will pay a price he has never known. In the meantime, I call on all citizens of Israel to strictly obey the instructions of the army and the instructions of the Home Command.

"We are in a war and we will win it.'

This is too big, IIRC the largest single attack in the last 20 years was about 500 missiles. There is weakness in Israel, but there is also a bigger bear in the room, the ramping up of weakness and anti-israeli sentiment in the US.

Russia recognized Ukraine as a Vassal to the US through kickback bribes and moved in. Hamas is doing this now. Nigeria, and god knows how much more shit going down in other places that we literally don't pay attention too.

The great shield of the American arm is GONE! and it will take a generation or more to rebuild.

I was a Marine once, in case I never mentioned it, and I believed everything that I was protecting the ENTIRE WORLD with my life and sacrifices of lesser grandeur so that someone else like me could have the good fortune that I had in being loved, offered opportunities and to be free.

I was WRONG!

The nation I love doesn't exist right now, and I'm sorry to everyone who I might have influenced with my childlike love of something that clearly doesn't exist anymore, if ever.

May the Holy One strengthen their spirit and give them resolve to withstand this crisis until it passes.
May it be the will of the Most High to grant wisdom and insight to those leaders of the State charged with conducting the people’s war, so that their actions are infused with courage, wisdom and intelligence which achieve a just goal.Lord of Hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, protect the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces in the air, on the sea and land, those in battle, those on the home front, and all the rescue and security forces. Save them from every trouble and evil design, and cause the works of their hands to be for blessing and for success.
May they go out in peace and return victorious and whole to their homes and loved ones.

Bibi needs to send out that same aura now if he wants to protect Israel's future. Something possibly so batshit insane, like literally leveling gaza with bulldozers, that even terrorist think "maybe we shouldn't piss him off" That or they go capture Abbas, and Bibi offs him on live TV.

Lebanon is a hidden state, that is a complete mess. Ace wrote about his experience in lebanon some years ago. Lebanon is filled with terrorists, and completely unreliable for anything other than some good food.

Jordan ain't gonna get involved. Jordan basically depends on Israel to be the bad guy so they don't have to deal with their own palestinian problem, so they aren't gonna join the terrorist groups, and they SURE AS SHIT ain't gonna join the Israeli's because 1/3 of the population of Jordan is "palestinian."

Appeasement, and ignoring or dismissing people who say they want to kill you is a recipe for your own demise. There should always be an appropriate response.

The US military has been weakened and it's stores emptied to fund Z's payroll and supply his Nazi battalions. We probably cannot (and under Bai-Den, certainly will not) come to Israel's immediate defense. This condition wasn't set without intention and malice.

It goes like this here. You have to apply, go through tests and interviews, to own one pistol and a 50 round box of ammo. You will not, under any conditions, own a long gun.

Your eligibility to own said pistol and 50 rounds hinges on your age and if you were either military or civil service. If you did neither ? You can apply for your pistol and 50 rounds in your 40s.

Remember what the conditions were last time CNN had a war correspandence exclusive? I will tell you. They toed the line of Iraq moderating the information coming out of bagdad during the first first gulf war while my brother was deploying there, giving them control of their wire feed, and power to censor while depicting the conflict as that among equals.

That was while my brother was deployed to Dessert shield and storm, back in the 90's, and it was how CNN made it's name as a "REAL" news corp.

By selling America out to Saddam Hussein. They lost the CNN advantage during the second (3rd) iraq war, so they had to rely on bagdad bob.

We've got a festival in one area of our own Occupied West Bank here this weekend -- not that I intend to go -- and an Art Night in another area tonight. People will be strolling up and down that avenue, wandering into shops for cheese and wine samples, etc.

Plus I need to gas up the car, and the usual station I go to is run by, well, I'm pretty sure it's not Israelis. Most convenience stores, it seems, are staffed the same way. But I can gas up without going inside.

In the case of Israel, we don't even have to fund them, just let them buy buy buy, because Israel can PAY it's freight, they just need the freight to pay for.

Ukraine, is in essence a US war, and an embarassment of corruption, where we give money to EVERYTHING in Ukraine, and then not even charge them for weapons or munitions.

For Israel all we have to do is provide the product and open the markets. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

I would support Ukraine, if they didn't accept financial aid, but took in food and energy support, while PAYING for the weapons they so insouciently demand as their own, when they can't keep up with their own fucking populace as to whether there is a war or not.

Its not like a castle, fort, and moat between Ashkalon and Gaza. Looks like the border at El Paso for the most part. You could probably pole vault parts of it if properly motivated.

Looks like they used the rockets to simply cover the spots where they cut the fence to let bike teams loose. And they just blew through the checkpoints with the technicals.

There has been a lot of reaction to the Palestinian attacks in Israel, here's a selection of it:

• French President Emmanuel Macron strongly condemned the attacks, saying "I express my full solidarity with the victims, their families and loved ones"
• Germany's foreign minister said "violence and rockets against innocent civilians must stop now"
•European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the attack as "terrorism in its most despicable form"
•The United States condemned the violence and urged both sides to refrain from retaliating
•Russia's deputy foreign minister said "it goes without saying that we always call for restraint"

I also think the Junta hates Israel and also believes a lot of problems would be solved if Israel didn't exist.

On top of that, it wouldn't surprise me if our intelligence agencies actively fomented this attack, or, at the very least, knew in advance but decided not to inform Israel.

638 Welp, we've found the real culprit behind the attack:

Zelensky’s office called the terrorist invasion of Israel “a consequence of the Russian military operation in Ukraine”: Everything that Russia is doing in Ukraine is destroying global security, global rules, and global agreements. As a result, the world is plunging into chaos, and terrorist communities are beginning to behave more defiantly, and aggressively and even declare war on entire countries... There is only one solution to the problem (if, of course, we want to return to predictability and stability): a sharp acceleration of the defeat of Russia.

He's expressing a similar sentiment to Churchill's frustration with the American habit of doing the right thing once all alternatives have been exhausted, but is being a bit too spicy about it for the moment.

Incidentally, much of the same criticism could be applied to us today since so many of us look at several fixed elections in a row, and a couple of biological attacks on us by DC, and still we cling to the empty hope that another election will fix things.

719 Hamas is not an extension of Iran. Iran is Shia. Hamas is Sunni. Hamas is more correctly an extension of the Saudis and Qataris. Hamas does get funding from Iran, as they do from others like the Qataris.

I think the IDF knew they were there, but Israel felt that - for both internal and external political reasons, it was impossible to launch a massive ground attack on Gaza, which is what taking them out would have required. (they were almost certainly stored in bunkers underneath schools and mosques) Now, that ground attack can take place.

And then we will find out if the true purpose of the attack today was to provoke this ground attack, which will kick off the wider middle east war. I still retain hope that Hamas jumped too early and the others aren't ready for the general war yet.

Statement from President Joe Biden Condemning Terrorist Attacks in Israel

BRIEFING ROOM, STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the horrific and ongoing attacks in Israel. The United States unequivocally condemns this appalling assault against Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza, and I made clear to Prime Minister Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel. Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation. My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.

Jill and I are keeping in our prayers all of the families who have been hurt by this violence. We are heartbroken by the lives that have been tragically cut short and hope for a swift recovery for all those who have been wounded.

My team and I are tracking this situation closely, and I will remain in close touch with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

You are correct. The armies of one or more of the ancient powers had permanently wiped out the Philistines before Rome destroyed Israel in 70 AD and renamed it "Palestine." So the Arabs in Gaza are not descendants of the Philistines. It's historically inaccurate to call them "Palestinians," and creates the false impression that they have an ancient claim on the land of Israel.

"The purpose of the #Hamas operation in #Israel is to take hostages," said Dawood Shihab, a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

He said it was needed for two purposes - the exchange of #Palestinians in Israeli prisons and to prevent an Israeli ground operation in the #Gaza Strip.

"All captives in the hands of resistance organizations will be held until all our prisoners are released from Israeli jails," Shihab said.

He said the Israelis had previously detained Palestinian women and children, so the Palestinians were not concerned that there were women and children among the Israeli captives.

"The resistance forces have considered all Israeli options, including ground action. The Israelis know that there will be a price to pay for every move," Shihab said.

An Israeli military expert also said the hostages could be an obstacle to a ground operation.

Videos published in social networks show militants taking hostages, including women and children.

866 The entir economy of so called Palestine is dependent on financial support from the US, Europe and Qatar and others. They therefore produce nothing of value as their whole reason for existence is to pretend to be the aggrieved party and deserve to own Israel. They produce nothing, contribute nothing, except to foment hate.
Why do they deserve the world's continuing to support them. They are the embodiment of Hitler's dream to eradicate not only the Jews but everyone that opposed Islamic hegemony.

871 Yes, the IDF hit a residential building in Gaza. If you see the video, they hit one building in the middle of a bunch of other residential buildings. That's because that one building was a Hamas building, hiding Hamas. If they we going to take out civilians, they would have leveled the entire block.

910 You are correct. The armies of one or more of the ancient powers had permanently wiped out the Philistines before Rome destroyed Israel in 70 AD and renamed it "Palestine." So the Arabs in Gaza are not descendants of the Philistines. It's historically inaccurate to call them "Palestinians," and creates the false impression that they have an ancient claim on the land of Israel.
Posted by: girldog at October 07, 2023 12:00 PM (7WeJw)

to be pedantic - actually "Palestine" was a purely Roman creation of the Bar Kochba wars, when all Jews were expelled permanently (beginning the diaspora) The Roman Province of Judea was erased permanently and a new Province created, including Damascus, which was name Syria Palaestina. There has *never* in history been an independant country names"Palestine".

• the Gaza border has cameras, thermal imaging, motion sensors every few meters and sensors to detect wires being cut. You can’t get close to that barrier without getting Israeli patrols on you in minutes.
• What happened ? Was there a coordinated cyber attack to immobilise all these assets?

And this is why Israel’s response with be disproportionate. Everyone who failed will want to save themselves & they will probably engage in uncalibrated retaliation that will scuttle diplomatic prospects in the short term. There is a rumour going around TLV that the Qataris
ordered this precisely to slow down or stop the Saudi deal. But the Saudi twitter response is curious. Saudi twitterati are showing deep sympathy for israel. This may not turn out the way the Qataris gamed it. So you might have a massive Israeli response to save military…

951 he former Prime Minister just showed up for duty like any other Israeli called up. There was a statement issued by the opposition party that all politics are put aside as Israel is at war.
This is what patriotism looks like. This is courage.
It makes you realize what cowards our politicians are.

952 I just got back from the middle of nowhere and now gave cell coverage. This is the first I'm hearing about this. Let me guess - Israel's skirt was too short... they were asking for this unprovoked act of war.

Can anyone recommend a good synopsis of what has happened so far?

And prayers up for all of Israel. Psalm 43 is coming to mind. In your righteousness, defeat their enemies, oh Lord.

953 Normally all out for Israel. But what is the point? They jabbed and boosted all of their citizens. 6 million Jewish people about to die by their own hands. The Inescapable Immune Escape Pandemic will wipe them out. It will strike hardest at populations that jabbed everybody within a short time frame. War will not destroy them, pestilence will. How does one avoid a boom-a-rang effect in bio-warfare? Convince the opposition to take a poison jab.

The un-jabbed are about to inherent the world. The Israeli's will not be around. Kind of ironic about that 6 million number. Seems like it has come up before.

954 I assumed I'd wake up to the knowledge that there was a crater where Gaza once stood, and that Tehran was decorated with the heads of mullahs and the ayotollah.

Alas.
