Going to say this now: Be on the lookout for suspicious behavior here at home. Given the open border we’ve had, it would be stupid to believe no terror cells have entered our country. An attack or multiple once we get involved can’t be ruled out. DC is worried.

Boots on the ground is NOT the answer.  Destruction, total destruction from the air is the only consideration.  Level Gaza completely.  Render it a land that people cannot live upon.

Boots on the ground are necessary to retrieve surviving Israeli hostages and the remains of those murdered.  They're also needed to round up any remaining combatants hiding among the children.

Leveling Gaza alone won't work for long.  Remember this from 2014 ---




It's time for Israel to stop protecting its soldiers and unleash them to do what they've been trained to do.

This is Hamas currently firing on Israel.
There is NO WAY this group has the funding for this level of operation without Irans support!

That is a Russian grad.  How did they get that into Gaza?

 :yowsa:

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

Yes. Thanks - they are apparently all safe - but understandably afraid of what is to come.

@andy58-in-nh

Thanks for the update. I simply can't imagine the terror that the citizens are experiencing right now. It's unfathomable what Islamic savages will do for their nasty, putrid god. Prayers up.

Festival massacre as rescuers find 260 bodies at site where revellers 'first realised something was wrong when a siren started going off before Hamas cut the power and started opening fire'

    At least 600 people have been killed in Israel since Hamas launched its attack
    Follow the Israel Palestine conflict on MailOnline's live blog

By Eirian Jane Prosser

Published: 15:39 EDT, 8 October 2023 | Updated: 18:58 EDT, 8 October 2023

Terrified festivalgoers first realised something was wrong when a siren began blaring at dawn warning of rockets. Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity before firing rockets and blasting gunshots from jeeps they drove onto the site.

Yesterday Israel suffered its deadliest attack in decades, as Hamas rampaged through the country's towns reportedly killing 700 people and abducting dozens more.

A senior Hamas official said tonight that the militant group is holding more than 100 people captive following its attack on Israel. In the last 24 hours fierce fighting has broken out killing and wounding thousands of people on both sides.

The Israeli rescue service Zaka tonight said at least 260 bodies have been removed from the festival site. 

Music lovers attending the Supernova Festival were amongst those targeted, with Palestinian militants storming onto the site of the all-night trance music rave near Kibbutz Re'im, close to the Gaza Strip, as part of its surprise attack.

Yaniv, an emergency worker who was amongst those medics who raced to the scene told public broadcaster Kan News he saw 'at least 200 bodies of Israelis in the area'.

He said: 'There are at least 200 bodies of Israelis in the area I was in. It was a massacre.

 'I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was a planned ambush. As people came out of the emergency exits, squads of terrorists were waiting for them there and just started picking them off.'

Old article I bookmarked like two decades ago. (Source article has disappeared).

WHO are the PALESTINIANS? WHAT & WHERE is PALESTINE?

Thank you @Sighlass - good information.
I also read a similar article years ago and have since lost the link. 

Wikipedia also has good information in this article:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel

'Terrorists are in my bedroom': The haunting messages helpless relatives received after Hamas abductions

The Israeli embassy to the United States said women and children were among more than 100 soldiers and civilians kidnapped by Hamas fighters and that active hostage situations are "ongoing".

Tom Cheshire  |  8 October 2023  |  22:10, UK

"Everything I have in my life - my family - is missing," Gaya Kalderon tells Sky News.

"I'm terrified from the photographs and can't believe my eyes. It feels like a horror movie that would never come true. But it did."

Gaya, who is 21, lives in Tel Aviv. Much of her family is in in Nir Oz, situated in the south of Israel.

On Saturday morning, Hamas swept into the village.

"I was terrified to wake up on Saturday morning and receive messages like 'the terrorists are in my bedroom' and my 16-year-old sister writing to me: 'I'm so scared.'"

Her father, Offer, her sixteen-year-old sister, Sahar, and her brother, Erez, 10, were abducted from their homes by Hamas.

Israelis in the city of Sderot left in shock in wake of Hamas incursion

Stuart Ramsay  |  8 October 2023  |  23:26, UK


Surrounded by destruction, and in the midst of a few local people dazed and frankly in shock after the events of Saturday and Hamas's attack, I prepared to leave the city of Sderot.

Gunmen had careered through its streets on the back of four-wheel drives shooting up cars, killing drivers, and then dismounting and hunting down residents to either kill or take hostage and move to Gaza.

As I approached our vehicle, I caught sight of a hospital gurney somewhat haphazardly abandoned next to two cars.

I decided to take a look and saw the gurney and two stretchers on the floor were covered in blood.

The two cars were riddled with bullets, their interiors splattered with blood.  .  .

https://news.sky.com/story/israelis-in-the-city-of-sderot-left-in-shock-in-wake-of-hamas-incursion-12980578



I have a friend that was in Sderot about a year ago.  Definitely on the front line.

I don't think it's nearly that direct.  I think there are people around Obama who talk to some of the people around Biden.  So, Obama has some influence.  But I don't think it is rote obedience because I think some of the people surrounding Biden are further to the left than Obama.  And that's saying something.

Without a Second Amendment Private Gun Ownership Low in Israel

AWR Hawkins 8 Oct 2023

As the world watches the atrocities of the past few days unfold in Israel — including Hamas terrorists going door to door to kill Israelis — it is notable that Israel does not have a U.S.-like Second Amendment and private gun ownership among Israelis is low.

The BBC reported that “Israeli gun ownership is low at about 2% of the population.” In contrast, the findings of a recent study by Rutgers University’s New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center estimated upwards of six in ten Americans own guns.

The difference, in large part, is the Second Amendment. Israelis are allowed to own guns at whatever level their government approves whereas Americans have a birthright to gun ownership that is protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I suspect you are right about that,but even more importantly,the whole damn Biden family is for rent to the highest bidder. Pay Jill enough untraceable cash,and Slow Joe will immediately  become a Patriot.

There is not a single member of that family  that has the morality of a child rapist.

@mystery-ak

This comes as a major surprise to me!

I would have "Bet the farm" that I read back in the 60's-70's that any Israeli citizen that wanted a Uzi or AK could get one just by going to the police station and asking for it. If he or she didn't have a criminal record,they got it for free.

Frankly,it made a hell of a lot of sense to me,and I applauded the wisdom of the Israeli leadership for recognizing this.

Am I the only one that "remembers" this?

Something must have changed since I was in Israel decades ago. Then, almost everybody was armed. Open carry does not begin to describe it. Seeing citizens shopping with an AK strapped on their back and/or a .45 sidearm was completely normal. I saw people who lived in the West Bank or Southern Israel, finish a meal, they would wipe their mouth, stand up and check their weapons as a part of getting ready to go home. What happened to that?

That is why I was surprised by this. My experience is that 'most' Israelis especially in the Kibbutzim were armed 24 hours a day. Something happened over the last few decades. Apparently, they went soft/liberal and dropped their guard.

This will certainly change now. I am sure every Israeli citizen will be armed wherever they are after this attack, as they used to be. Why were no guards or security personnel at the festival event? Even American events have armed security ... but none in Israel at a festival on the border of Gaza? That is very strange. It is the definition of complacency and childish blind naiveté, which are definitely not traditional Israeli traits.

Again, no security and nobody anywhere was armed. This is not the Israel I know. Something very weird has happened since I left. I am confused?

Israel has God on their side.  Noone goes against Israel and succeeds.

Something must have changed since I was in Israel decades ago. Then, almost everybody was armed. Open carry does not begin to describe it. Seeing citizens shopping with an AK strapped on their back and/or a .45 sidearm was completely normal. I saw people who lived in the West Bank or Southern Israel, finish a meal, they would wipe their mouth, stand up and check their weapons as a part of getting ready to go home. What happened to that?

My experience, too.  I was there in 2002, and everywhere I went, young people (18-20) would have Uzis strapped around their necks.  Of course most were active duty enjoying some time off, but still ready to defend their countrymen.  Not sure what has happened over the last 20 years.

Me too. I was there around that same time. Reservists kept their weapons in their homes even when off duty, including in their vehicles. This would not have worked then. Hamas could not have 'rounded up' anybody without getting their asses shot off.

Israel must have fallen into the international far-Left "guns are bad" movement somewhere along the way, ignoring the fact that they are surrounded by bloodthirsty religious maniacs.

Israel does have gun control,  but they're acting now to remove restrictions in light of the current emergency.

Where in the Bible does it say God will protect Jew or Christian from attack?  In fact it speaks of the last days being quite the opposite. "When you begin to see these things coming to pass, lift up your heads for your redemption is surely drawing near" Like 21.

Jesus probably felt that way while he was suffering on the cross.  But G-d came through in the end.

When I saw people taking videos of Hamas pouring in, I kept thinking, 'Why is nobody firing at them?' That is Israel I know.
One of the bloodthirsty satanists would stab one or two random people before being shot down. Because everyone had a gun.
Must be those 'restrictions' you describe did not exist back then.

No, Israel needs to find a new land.

We could have given them Utah, landlocked and safe, but NO... they HAD to steal Arab land against the Arabs' wishes... because Hitler or something. And for 75 years, nothing but strife.

This is white saviorism. Israel as we know it was a mistake, and nobody will admit it.

The method by which the modern state of Israel formed was bound to result in the present situation, or something worse.  At this point, the only way to settle the conflict is massive payments to surrounding arab countries to house all of the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza.  That is assuming the Palestinians would ever agree to leave peacefully.  You simply cannot have several million stateless arabs living in a prison camp adjacent to and dominated by a jewish government.  Nor can the Palestinians be entrusted with a country of their own.
