I’m sure they realized that if left open, Hamas moves some of the shitshow to the safety of Egypt and that weakens their internal position.

I thought I had read, probably on twitter, that the egyptians were allowing supplies and fuel to be trucked in, and israel bombed those trucks.  Israel had declared no fuel, no supplies to be allowed in, just following through on that.

didn't equate that to not allowing folks to get out, which would be egypts' determination and call.  but things could've changed since that twitter note, it's a very fluid and dynamic situation, i'm not on it 100%.

They had cwis and sea sparrows.

The ground clutter made them near useless. The guns could only depress so much, and those argie a4s were flying 300ft or less on attack approach. For better or worse, those guys could fly, and used it to their advantage.

Always blows my mind the argies had bad fuses, if they would have had them set up right, the hms sheffield wouldn't be the only one we would be remembering in that way.

Iranian proxies launched some of their missiles at USS Mason in 2016, so our radars have gotten a good look at what that looks like.

Not at all.  @David45 is absolutely right about this.  It's just inconvenient to hear.

There are several ways to solve both bullet points, and I disagree with some of the details, but he's right:  this is going to be a bitch of a problem to solve, no matter how pissed off everyone rightfully is now.  

That said, acknowledging the solution will be difficult does not mean that you stop trying.  It does mean you spend a lot of effort trying to make it work.  Chartering ships.  Busses and aircraft. Funding.  Setting up temporary refugee camps, with screening.  Food, water, shelter.  Medical aid..  POL dumps.  Munitions supplies.  A million other things I'm forgetting, and that people like @elcope do expertly.

Not to mention the backroom political arm breaking required to force one of the surrounding states to take them, instead of just using them as pawns in geopolitical hatfields and mccoy's blood feud.


Egypt gets 3 billion a year in aid from the USA. I'm thinking they might squeeze by with $100,000 a year if they don't take them.

Palestine  must be totally destroyed. They just declared war on Israel. This is Israel's 9-11 Hamas are rabid animals that should be treated as such. No mercy no quarter for any of them. Supporters of Hamas should be treated the same. Just my two cents.

This mess we shall call it will bleed out all over the world.  I suspect that our own country will be facing challenges due to the current world climate.  One being our energy grid.  

I’m going to leave  that as it is what it is.  I do suggest that everyone here and all your friends and family get prepared for outages such as the electrical grid.   Even if it goes down for a matter of 48 hours grocery stores will close due to refrigeration/computer issues etc.  

Stock up on necessities such as water, canned goods, a couple gas cans etc.  

Bad times are coming.   Prepare for it.   It may not be murder and mayhem exactly, but it will come here in some form or fashion which will most likely be the grid.

Have a basic plan.   Have the ability to feed your family, protect them, and be mobile.

I just read where Scotland’s PM is worried about his in-laws who are visiting family there in Gaza. I’ve read a recent UNICEF report that over 180,000 have fled to other countries. This, combined with stock footage of hamas having military vehicles, weapons, rockets, and so on. Combine that with reports of Palestinians opening protesting in a number of US cities, as well as other countries throughout the world…so what am I missing about open air prison?
