The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The typical Israeli response to Hamas murders has been surgical strikes in Gaza that are designed to kill particular terrorists and destroy particular sites...usually rocket launching sites or tunnel entrances. It was in essence a tit-for-tat policy that has allowed Hamas to entrench itself in Gaza and create a huge and complex network of tunnels and rocket launching sites, in addition to infrastructure to support their large number of terrorists.

The results of that hands-off approach is stark and ugly. 1,400 Israelis murdered in one day, in a large-scale invasion of southern Israel that was disgustingly reminiscent of an Einsatzgruppe moving into Poland or Russia. The brutality has been well documented, and it is shocking...even to those who expect depravity and subhuman behavior from these terrorists.

Yet Israel's response has been muted by both an American administration that is pro-Iranian (the architects of much of the terrorism in the world), and an internal response that seems not to understand that this time it is different.

Israeli Forces Launch Massive Raid Into the Gaza Strip

Israeli forces conducted a massive raid inside the Gaza Strip this morning. It was more extensive than the previous small-scale ground operations in the wake of the vicious October 7 terror attacks committed by Hamas that left over 1,200 Israelis dead. The Jewish state has mobilized its military for a potentially prolonged conflict in Gaza that could spill into a two-front war with Lebanon. Hezbollah has vowed an all-out war if Israel invades Gaza.

In preparation for the next stages of combat, the IDF operated in northern Gaza.

Notice the problem?

Almost three weeks after the catastrophic terrorist attack, and this is the first large-scale movement into Gaza. And then the Israeli army left.
Just like they have been doing for almost 20 years, and that simply did not work. It is certainly possible that there is a strategic plan that requires waiting. Perhaps they are degrading command-and-control. Perhaps they are destroying tunnel entrances. Perhaps there are other considerations that require patience.

But If Israel has not planned for a large-scale invasion of Gaza and the destruction of Hamas, then their strategic planning is suspect. And if they do have plans, but are modifying and delaying them because of political considerations, then the Israeli body politic should punish the current unity government and demand a change.

As George Patton said:

A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.

Israel will be vilified for any action in Gaza. That is the reality. It is naive in the extreme to expect anything different, so a massive invasion of Gaza as soon as Israel's reserves were fully in place would have been the only rational response. It would have caught the world by surprise, and those all-too predictable "CEASE FIRE" demands would have taken a few days or weeks to coalesce.

I am hopeful that Israel's battle plans are robust and have as the goal the complete destruction of Hamas, both as a political entity and as a terrorist force. That is the minimum requirement for success, and any deviation from that goal risks sending a powerful message to the other terrorist actors and the nations that support or tolerate them that Israel is weak, and will no longer aggressively defend itself.

An equally aggressive response to any Hezbollah attacks along the border with Lebanon, and Iranian-proxy attacks from Syria would push them into a defensive stance, rather than the current probing and harassing behavior they are demonstrating. it is in fact an opportunity to attack ALL of Israel's enemies on its borders!

Yes, I am advocating war on possibly three fronts while comfortably and safely writing 6,000 miles away. Yes, this will mean possibly hundreds of Israeli casualties, and it will also mean Hezbollah and Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli citizens. But that is happening anyway, and it is time for Israel to return to its roots as an offensive-minded nation and military. For too long, Israel has prioritized short-term safety over long-term strategic goals. That must end!

Update from "Diogenes"

I am not particularly worried about the pace of Israel's response. It takes time to build the target list and to focus on the high priority targets as they emerge.
Plus they have to deploy and prepare for a three front war and absorb the return of a couple hundred thousand reservists.
Further, their own command and control organizations need to get shaken out and flexed a bit...all while hammering Gaza and targets of opportunity.
They are doing what we call Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield. It is necessary.
When it is time to strike, they will. And they will likely do it well.

Yes, but they will also have American support - if not entirely. The US is not going to stop Israel. Formally and informally, certain players within the US may undermine or hamper. There will be plenty of the US public who will call for proportionate response. But at the end of the day, the IDF will have pretty free reign with enough support of the US elected parties and the public at large. It is entirely up to Israel.

41 Palis do not care about losses at the level they are taking, so Israel's response will do nothing but delay another attack like this for a few years.

If you want to resolve the conflict your choices are

1) Eliminate the Palis
2) Remove the Palis to somewhere far away
3) Destroy Pali culture, take their kids, and raise them in a system that present Islam as an evil death cult.

and if you don't want any of these three the resolution you'll get is

4) Eliminate the Jews

They've already coalesced, even without much fire. The propaganda operations started immediately, as they always do. Go in or don't, the response of the "international community" is the same. The only real difference is probably from the other actual players: do they pile on, or not? Even without going on, the other players have started piling on. When Israel does commit and starts destroying Gaza, the odds of a multi-front, all-region war go up dramatically. I suspect that, not the "international community," is probably more of a factor in delays. I don't know, though, of course. I'm not an Israeli spook.

The main problem is they are surrounded by hostile savages that are hell bent on their obliteration, they have attempted to work with these savages for decades with no material result.

71 The delay in full mobilization and Operation Exterminate Cockroaches is not due to any planning or strategic considerations. The delay is because the USA and every other country in the world is leaning heavily on Israel to do nothing.

Probably 50% of Jews themselves want to do nothing. The "plan" now is to just drag this out until it fades into the headlines. How many of you are as sick as I am of the stupid staged pics of cute Jewish and Muslim kids holding hands that Jews (!) are posting on social media? Grow the fuck up.

This is all as I and others predicted in the days following the Hamas atrocities. I was off a bit on the timeline, but I expected the Israeli response to be just what it was: a good kick in the balls but not nearly enough under the circumstances.

Israel is called an occupier of Gaza even though it hasn't been in Gaza for more than 15 years.

Israel needs to operate like the world's opinions don't matter to its survival against a genocidal force at its doorstep.

82 Israel has no good options unfortunately. Status quo of a few (or more than normal) strikes killing a bunch of Palestinians...will eventually return to the status quo, waiting for the next strike.

Occupy and conquer some chunks of "Palestinian" land? They've done that in the past, too. It makes Israel more defensible against major, conventional military invasion, but the constant threat of terrorist activity remains.

The last option...conquer and annex all the "Palestinian" land. Hasn't been tried, would cause non-stop international outrage, may provoke Arab nations to respond militarily, and what to do with the millions of "Palestinians" living in the area? Still...the only realistic option to end the cycle of violence.

Maybe they are. I don't know. I'm not inside. But if they are preparing for a properly huge action - an action along the lines of what you're describing, of total destruction and subjugation - then ensuring that your main force can operate without destruction from hidden nests of major weapons and masked command and control structure is prudent. As pointed out above, there is the distinct possibility that this is an elaborate pre-invasion intelligence operation.

Again, I'm not on the inside. I don't think Israel is going to go medieval on Gaza, but that possibility is probably still there.

107 It takes time to build the target list and to focus on the high priority targets as they emerge. Plus they have to deploy and prepare for a three front war and absorb the return of a couple hundred thousand reservists. Further, their own command and control organizations need to get shaken out and flexed a bit...all while hammering Gaza and targets of opportunity. They are doing what we call Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield. It is necessary.
When it is time to strike, they will. And they will likely do it well.

152 I know they calculated it though. The lines in old test footage were wires they strung up that vaporized but were visible on film so they could calculate the speed of the explosion.

They send up rockets just prior to the explosion, so they can quantify the effects. The lines you see next to the blast are the smoke trails.

161 I disagree that this border action today was too little; recon in force is necessary before a massive push. We have to realize that due to mistakes of the past, this is now a heavily dug in and fortified border manned by dozens of concrete bunkers full of ant-tank missiles. Ot does not benefit the IDF to charge in and lose 100 tanks on the first day - wiser to go in carefully, note the firing positions, and eliminate them as they are identified. This process is tedious, but it is the best way.

172 A huge problem is that even most Jews are too squeamish to confront the obvious reality that Hamas is Palestine and vice versa. They are trying to draw some fake distinction between Hamas (who they say should be destroyed) and the Palestinians (who they say are innocent and should be spared).

I don't know how much clearer it can be that there is no such distinction. A few of my Jewish friends are posting on social media those stupid staged pics of cute Jewish and Muslim kids that I mentioned above. When someone calls them out on this, their response is "well yea, Hamas is evil but the Palestinians aren't Hamas."

191 As usual, Diogenes is correct. Add to that the enemy has long prepared for what they believe would be the Israelis response- direct action across the border. The other complexities are they have also partnered with other state actors to spread the battlefield and tie up our assets that are in theater. So we have also needed time to increase our defensive posture and put in place force protection measures. During this pause we have moved in several ANG Units, naval assets, AAA batteries and a Marine MEU. That prepares the battlespace better for either offensive of defensive action. In fact, if the other state actors attack our assets, they will now receive a devastating response.

192 The third season of the series "Fauda" on Netflix took place in the Gaza Strip. It actually showed the tension between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.

210 I agree completely with Diogenes comment. Israel mobilized 300,000 reservists. they had to outfit them and move them to where they wanted them and train them for the upcoming battle. If you read the X posts from the Israel sources(IDF, IsraelRadar etc)you know that there has been hundreds of sorties every day into Gaza destroying infrastructure and taking out Hamas leadership. It is not like they are standing still. They are stil under rocket barrages and taking out those sources has been essential. Rockets falling as far north as Tel Aviv. It is their capital and a major city. Imaginie if unguided missiles were falling inthe middle of the capital city of your state.
The Israelis will do what they want to do regardless of what the US or anyone else says. If this pause did not benefit them, they would not be doing it. Although as I said, pause is a relative term in this instance.

In fact AFRICOM started relocating some assets so that in any type of event, we should already have at least minimal capabilities available where we have forces or assets deployed. To their credit the minute things kicked off in Israel we had SF and other assets either on the ground or moving into the battle space or for force protection.

Of course not. That would require taking a firm stand against the activist groups that have de facto control over any college's vast "administrative" octopus. If they do it, the response will be swift and sever, including the physical harm of university executives and likely a fair amount of property destruction from fires and the like. In short, a violent and likely murderous riot.

They don't have control, and they will voluntarily take any action that demonstrates that fact.

285 Just as Israel prepares, so does Iran.
------------------------------------
But even as the world's attention remains focused on the narrow and dusty strip to Israel's southwest, a far larger and potentially more consequential mobilisation is taking place across the Middle East.

From Lebanon to Yemen, via Syria and Iraq, the Iran-led regional axis of which Hamas is only a minor element is moving into position. Some of its component militias have entered the fray already, carrying out limited attacks against Israeli and US forces.

It's important to understand the nature of the alliance in question. It is the fruit of the methodology and the investments of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps during the past four decades in the Middle East. In that time, patiently, and with tactics adjusted to fit local conditions, Tehran has built an army of a type never before seen in the Middle East and that is now preparing for action.

This army consists of a host of nominally independent militias, that in reality are controlled by a central guiding hand.

295 On that Egyptian stele was a reference to one group of the Sea Peoples called the Pelset, which is taken as the source of Philistine.

"Because the slab itself was destroyed in the 19th Century,...However, the villagers subsequently used the stones as building material for the foundation of their mosque."

Islam is so destructive. The pyramids used to have gleaming white limestone covering them; it was stripped off to "build" Cairo...

Yeah, that's plausible. The Gazans (I call them all Gazans because that's where they live) know they can count on their Leftist useful idiots around the world to cover for them and give them material support against the "aggressor" Israelis.

They may have bit off more than they can chew this time, but the jury's still out on that...

309 ...And then, in 25 minutes, I had written the whole lyric - as if I was taking dictation. I turned over the piece of paper, and it was a Christmas card. Now, that Christmas card is on display on the wall of the Righteous Gentile in Yad Vashem, the holocaust museum in Jerusalem, where they asked if they could have whatever I wrote those words on, because they want every Jewish child in Israel to know those words by heart. And for a Christian Gentile guy from Nashville to have written those words, which have become virtually the second Jewish national anthem, is the milestone in my life."

Yeah. Some of us have withstood the purge, for now. What about you, Mark?

I’m just tired of those with no skin in the game constantly advocating to send the poors to die for their cause when we’ve got plenty of enemies within to deal with.

Besides, Christians have fought their battles too many times since the crusades. Hopefully Israel can take care of themselves without dragging us into the fight.

Unfortunately the commie elites would love another excuse to purge a few more of us to make what’s coming a little easier for them. /smh
