yeah war is one thing.

Hamas are animals.

I hope I'm not the only one that remembers...

IDF's RAdm. Daniel Hagari is not fucking around and he looks pissed. I am glad he mentioned CENTCOM, it looks like this is all right under the purview.

What if we stopped sending money to any kind of muslem for any reason, and stopped sending money to prop up UKR in a war they refuse to win?  There's a lot of cash right there we can use to kill Iran.

It's a lot more fun to cheerlead for a war than it is to pick up a broom and clean up your local messes.  @Lomshek had a great thread on how to organize locally and the fruits of such organization.  Naturally, it withered into archive status from lack of interest, and I am just as much to blame for that.

Israel is capable of handling this.  Including rescuing our people who have been taken hostage.  Certainly offer assistance, and ensure the best outcomes for our people, but that initiative doesn't require a war against Iran that I reiterate, we cannot afford.

Further, if we're set on going to War with the Islamic government of Iran, and God knows they've fucking earned it, rooting out beforehand in our own government, the traitorous pieces of shit that have worked for Iran's interests ahead of America's, might be a good idea.

Like it or not Israel has to be careful because of how successful propaganda on the other side is and how many people parrot whatever Hamas says.

Giving a warning at least allows them to counteract the propaganda generated when Hamas shoots rockets off apartment building rooftops and when fighters hide amongst women and children.

We invaded Grenada?

Agreed, our MidEast policy during the early 80's was a glaring exception to the successes the Reagan Administration usually engineered.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to get the sense that we aren't going to see our Earth Shattering kaboom, just blue balls. In the 21st Century, no one knows how to War anymore.

they can point to it as their attempt to minimize civilian casualties

I think we're about to see malicious compliance in the laws of war

Wishful thinking.
Too many think Article 5 covers any attack anywhere and is automatic.
It isn't.
Each member must respond but how is up to them.

Watching the different videos one thing really struck me and that was Complacency. They really didn't expect any serious incursions and were lulled into sense a false security.  They really put too much faith in the walls and gates also.

They have fired over 3500 rockets indiscriminately into Israel.

Fire 3500+ artillery shells into Gaza prior to going in.

No point, it would just amuse me

It sounds like it would be relatively easy for Israel to disrupt the drinking water supply to Gaza, if push came to shove.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_the_State_of_Palestine#:~:text=The%20Coastal%20Aquifer%20is%20the,effect%20on%20the%20Israeli%20side.

"In Gaza, desalinated brackish groundwater has become an important source of drinking water. Over 20,000 consumers in over 50% of the Gaza households have installed domestic ‘reverse osmosis’ (RO) units to desalinate water for drinking purposes."

Also, another reason for the roof knock... the drones follow the people that leave... allows the Israelis to trace the "network"...

What becomes of Iran? All parties know who funded.  What next?

Because war crime. And I know they all deserve a nice little slice of eternal damnation. But popping smoke, gives them the opportunity to realize they FA and are about to FO. The emboldened idiots will stay and die for the cause. The rats will move to the next hole. Sooner than later you'll have them in a neat little gridsquare.

Crenshaw is nothing but a blow hard disappointment. One of may in DC that need to just go away.

Both the Tavor/it's derivatives and the M-16/M-4 family are in wide circulation still. The Tavor was still relatively new when I was in and I never had any in my armory. Got to shoot several though. Both will still be around for a while.

Thank you for making me and my friend in the Tzama who I sent this to smile.

Which is unfortunate.  They're not even really disagreeing with each other, is the ironic thing.

Pmodas you are as solid of a bro as they come.

Hopefully you still know some guys who are about to destroy these assholes

Pretty sure Israel has a couple weapons up their sleeve to deal with this

That's a press release.  Why do you think that Strike Group is there, FN75?  To commence kinetic operations against Hez if a Northern front opens?  (Lol indirect fire doesn't count.)  To promise to backstop the North, so that Israel can peel a brigade or two off and send them to Gaza?

I'm seeing a TON of ARs also.

I followed a couple c17’s take off from Jordan. Went went dark as it approached the border.
The other flew around Israel and up to Warsaw.

It is a cancer.

Truth be told, I’ve suspected this for years and years. That Israel, if they actually tried, could wipe out Hamas etc. But they don’t. Kinda rhetorical question is why?

A soldier was shot a few years back when isis was trying to galvanize in the Sinai. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Army National Guard  soldiers wind up taking fire during this Attached File

I believe the newer X95 with 15 inch barrels and upgraded triggers are going to become the standard rifle but expect to see older Tavors and M4s still inn service for quite some time.

London is fucked....

They love this stuff over there. Look at the london mayor.

There have been multiple videos  on this thread showing large numbers of Tavors.

Totally gone from that video.

So Iran sponsored the attack? And China and Russia are their allies? And the USA military is getting involved? And Iran will get spanked?

This may be the best proxy war ever!

I suspect it is the same reason that we COULD build a wall and deport illegals already here but do not.

Liberals getting in the way.

It's like the Seven Years war but just a tad longer.

A wonderful product of public education.

I bet you got pronouns down pat.

Go get your booster kid.

IIRC when you look at Home ownership in London the majority of homes are owned by Indians, with White/English in second, and Pakistani the third

Went from The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire to being a minority in your capital city lol

Hamas leader cheered for joy as he watched Israel attack on TV from his Qatar office



The Hamas leader behind the deadliest attack on Israel watched and celebrated the invasion from the safety of his Qatar office.

Ismail Haniyeh was spotted with other Hamas officials cheering for joy before they prostrated themselves on the floor and praised God.

It came as the terrorist group launched the single deadliest attack ever launched against Israel - which the Jewish state has claimed is 'our 9/11'.



Haniyeh was born in the al-Shati refugee camp in 1962. His parents fled their homes in what is now Ashkelon near the Gaza border during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

He joined Hamas while studying Arabic literature at university and rose through the ranks.

Throughout his earlier life, he was in and out of Israeli prisons including a six-month stint in 1988.

Also, he was locked up for three years in 1989 during the First Intifada on terror group memberships charges.

He was deported to Lebanon before returning to Gaza where he survived at least one Israeli assassination attempt in the early 2000s during the Second Intifada.

In 2006, he came to prominence worldwide, leading Hamas to an early election victory.

This prompted a civil war and a complete takeover of the Gaza Strip by Hamas. In 2016 Haniyeh relocated from Gaza to Qatar.

The attacks on Saturday have prompted mass violence and bloodshed.

Israeli Defence Forces carried out artillery strikes against Lebanon in the disputed area of Mount Dov, following mortar fire directed towards Israel from its northern neighbour.

The UN agency for Palestinian Refugees, UNRWA, said over 20,000 people were sheltering in 44 of its schools around Gaza by Saturday evening - adding that three of these had suffered 'collateral' damage from Israeli airstrikes.

Iran-backed Hezbollah militants said it was behind the strikes and the attack was carried out 'in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance', reported the BBC.

The Islamic Republic of Iran also brandished a gigantic anti-Israel billboard in Tehran following the strike.

It showed a chequered keffiye covering the Star of David, entitled 'Operation Al-Aqsa Flood'.

The Israeli government formally declared war on Sunday and gave the green light for 'significant military steps' to retaliate against Hamas for its surprise attack.

I'm guessing this has been brought up but scrolling back 125 pages is pretty tough..

Has there been discussion that China possibly funded this to try and draw us into this war, so we are distracted from Taiwan?

I don't have a real issue helping Israel, one of our few allies in the region... but if we do it, we have to stop the nation building nonsense and just release the dogs of war, and go kill them.  Israel seems more than capable of this approach so maybe it's best we stay out of it and just provide arms.

Mayor of Dearborn's statement

"No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence" The only violence they have to endure is being a human shield for their coward sone, brother, father

Thanks.

I do. I won't say much though less the armchair generals in GD say I am compromising opsec like they did back in 2021, etc.

I also know of at least one so far who will never be able to again

If I wasn't dealing with health issues at the moment that would make me more of a liability in the field than a asset, I think I would be trying to get over there.

If they do why not FAFO.

Who's the audience? A billion Muslims who all think Jewish occupation of the Holy places is an affront, with only varying degrees of aggression? Plus millions and millions of their enablers and supporters in other (western) societies? People who think of Israel as unjust occupiers aren't going to flinch at somebody rubbing their foot on a corpse's face.

Unpopular opinion: the US government should have leaned harder on Israel to keep a leash on their own radicals who insisted on building Jewish settlements wherever they wanted, including land that had been designated in negotiations for Palestinians. Israel has always been a little to accommodating to radicals on their own side whose thoughts about Palestinians equals the Palestinians thoughts about them. If a Jew wants to build a house in land that the government designated for Palestinians, the Israeli government doesn't owe them anything, including protection from the neighbors who want to murder them.
