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. |

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. |

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 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. |
