Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Former11BRAVO: I may be in the minority with this opinion, but I think it might not be a bad idea for the IDF to NOT put boots on the ground in GAZA. For one thing, they may very well be needed elsewhere. The bigger reason, though, is that with all those buildings demolished, it'd be like Salerno (I think it was), or even Stalingrad. A shattered city like that is optimal for defenders and there'll be fighters under/behind every piece of concrete big enough to offer cover. Sounds like a death trap to me. Instead, they should just continue bombing and bring up artillery; blasting it into oblivion, no matter how long it takes. Why play into their hands? The IDF knows this. Risk management. Does the risk outweigh the reward. BAMCIS. Conducting MOUT is any city is difficult. In the age of terrorism, the added risks of IEDs and suicide bombers make it that much more difficult. My uneducated guess, they know where to go, where the rockets are being fired from, and what tunnels to destroy. It will be a long, bloody, hard fought battle with no clear indicators of what victory looks like. |

Look at 2008-2016 Same players, terror, chaos, war, etc... Iran capturing US Navy sailors, Iran getting that bullshit Obama nuke deal that Trump withdrew from and reestablished sanctions.. There is a long list of very relevant bad moves and events 2008-2016 leading up to here and that are clues how shit could go from here forward. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LurchAddams: Israel doesn't need two Navy carriers, Air Force bombers, and thousands of Marines to conquer Hamas. They would need them for Iran. On a normal battlefield, with traditional warfare, you would be correct. Going door to door in a city of a million that has a vast and sophisticated tunnel network, that is a different story. The IDF isn’t that big and doesn’t have the capability to clear the entire city and tunnel network. Especially with an enemy the is entrenched and waiting for it. |

A LOT of what's being posted in here is virtue signaling which adds nothing to the thread. Fair enough. We can only go by what the IDF has said is the intended goal (elimination of Hamas). That is going to require BOTG and while a pragmatic response is probably “yeah, right, good luck”, we really don’t know how far they are going to take it. It could be as simple as “taking fire from a building? Drop the building with artillery”. Rinse and repeat. There is a reason the US is working to open a corridor for refugees and Hamas is urging everyone to stay. Something is coming. |

Kfar Aza is now the scene of some of the most obscene and horrific depravity that humankind can offer. The scene of burned corpses, murdered babies, rapes and executions.

Speaking in absolutes doesn’t work in modern warfare.

We're losing SME's  Anyway Aljazeera: Israel PM Netanyahu: ‘Every Hamas member is a dead man’ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “every member of Hamas is a dead man”. In a statement, Netanyahu for the first time clearly expressed Israel’s intention to “destroy” Hamas following its surprise attack on Saturday. “Hamas is Daesh [ISIL/ISIS] and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh,” he said in a televised statement, the first delivered jointly with his war cabinet. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant added, “we will wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth”. Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood – a multi-pronged surprise attack into Israel via land, sea and air. Hamas said it was in retaliation for the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem and Israeli settlers’ growing violence against Palestinians. |

I think he knows exactly how much he has enabled Iran, I think he knows that they have outsmarted him at every turn, I think he knows he is in way over his head, and I think that maybe he realizes that his hubris resulted (in part) in the wholesale slaughtering of innocents. I dont expect him to admit it, but i think (maybe i just like to think) that he is experiencing extreme regret. Id like to think that he is experiencing self doubt. Id like to think that on some level he feels like he has done irreparable damage. |

Mine the everloving fuck out of the security perimeter, and if so much as a frisbee comes flying over the wall, Israeli artillery and the IAF makes several more blocks of Gaza disappear. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ricky_45: Maybe it's time to take over SA and UAE and Qatar, and the rest of the oil producing places who couldn't stop us if they wanted. The problem with moose limb countries, as we learned in Afghanistan and Iraq, is you can easily win the war, but you can never win the peace. They are not Germany or Japan. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By shaggy: I agree. Short of nuking Gaza (which isn't going to happen for any number of reasons) there's going to be dug in terrorists in Gaza when the IDF goes in and thats going to cost a lot if Israeli lives. Mine the everloving fuck out of the security perimeter, and if so much as a frisbee comes flying over the wall, Israeli artillery and the IAF makes several more blocks of Gaza disappear. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By shaggy: Originally Posted By Former11BRAVO: I may be in the minority with this opinion, but I think it might not be a bad idea for the IDF to NOT put boots on the ground in GAZA. For one thing, they may very well be needed elsewhere. The bigger reason, though, is that with all those buildings demolished, it'd be like Salerno (I think it was), or even Stalingrad. A shattered city like that is optimal for defenders and there'll be fighters under/behind every piece of concrete big enough to offer cover. Sounds like a death trap to me. Instead, they should just continue bombing and bring up artillery; blasting it into oblivion, no matter how long it takes. Why play into their hands? I agree.
