IDF Calls Up 60,000 Reservists for 6-Month Assault on Gaza City

Joel B. Pollak 20 Aug 2025

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called up 60,000 reservists for duty in the upcoming assault on Gaza City, the last stronghold of Hamas terrorists, over a six-month period to complete the conquest of the territory.

In a statement Wednesday, the IDF said:

    As part of the preparations for the next phase of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots”, approximately 60,000 reserve orders were issued this morning. In addition, 20,000 reservists who have already been called up will receive a notice extending their current orders.

    The decision regarding the reserves was made after in-depth discussions on the extent of manpower required for the continuation of combat and was approved by the Minister of Defense after all implications were presented to him.

    The IDF values its reserve personnel, expresses appreciation for their contribution to the security of the State of Israel, and will continue to work to ensure proper service conditions and fair distribution of responsibilities.

Hamas is the ruling party of Gaza who thought it would be a good idea to start a war with Israel, but now are crying like weak little bitches because they are getting their asses kicked.

[Hoodat]

The American Conservative position is to support anyone who was wrongly attacked.  In essence, the American Conservative position is opposite your position on many, many fronts.  Your disdain for American Conservatives has been expressed by you on countless occasions.  Your position on Israel is consistent with that.

[Cyber Liberty]

So every human soul in Gaza deserves the version of removal chosen for them --- death or banishment?   ---  Is this the American Conservative position?

It's not up to the US Conservatives.  Not up to me.  I'm just telling how looks like it's going to play out.

Never forget:  Hamas put this in motion when they decided to slaughter so many Jews and took hostages.  They made that choice.

[Hoodat]

If Hamas wants Israel to stop clearing out Gaza, then they should release the remaining hostages and self-deport.  The reason they don't is because they don't give a damn about the Palestinian people, even less so than Israel.

[Canuck Conservative]

So every human soul in Gaza deserves the version of removal chosen for them --- death or banishment?

Yes.

Gaza has been given multiple chances to get along with Israel, Israel even helped them set up some industries.

Gaza rejected it all, and chose to focus on war at every step. After 80 years of attacks, Oct. 7th was the last straw for Israel.

So now, the whole terrorist-poisoned "culture" is getting moved to Sudan. Good riddance.

Banishment is not a new idea ----

The Madagascar Plan was a proposal for Jewish settlement devised by the Nazi regime in the late 1930's.

On December 9, 1938, French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet informed German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop that in order to rid France of 10,000 Jewish refugees it would be necessary to ship them elsewhere. At that time, the Nazi regime considered mass emigration to be the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish problem."

On March 5, 1938, the SS officer in charge of forced Jewish emigration, Adolf Eichmann, was commissioned to assemble material to provide the chief of the Security Police (SIPO) Reinhard Heydrich with "a foreign policy solution as it had been negotiated between Poland and France," i.e., the Madagascar Plan. Temporarily shelved in the wake of the war, the project was taken up again after the fall of France in the summer of 1940.

Text of the Madagascar Proposal

The approaching victory gives Germany the possibility, and in my view also the duty, of solving the Jewish question in Europe. The desirable solution is: all Jews out of Europe.

The task of the Foreign Ministry in this is:

a) To include this demand in the Peace Treaty and to insist on it also by means of separate negotiations with the European countries not involved in the Peace Treaty;

b) to secure the territory necessary for the settlement of the Jews in the Peace Treaty, and to determine principles for the cooperation of the enemy countries in this problem;

c) to determine the position under international law of the new Jewish overseas settlement;

d) as preparatory measures:

1) clarification of the wishes and plans of the departments concerned of the Party, State and Research organizations in Germany, and the coordination of these plans with the wishes of the Reich Foreign Minister, including the following:

2) preparation of a survey of the factual data available in various places (number of Jews in the various countries), use of their financial assets through an international bank;

3) negotiations with our friend, Italy, on these matters.

With regard to beginning the preparatory work, Section D III has already approached the Reich Foreign Minister via the Department Germany [interior affairs], and has been instructed by him to start on the preparatory work without delay. There have already been discussions with the Office of the Reichsfuehrer SS in the Ministry of Interior and several departments of the Party. These departments approve the following plan of Section D III:

Section D III proposes as a solution of the Jewish question: In the Peace Treaty France must make the island of Madagascar available for the solution of the Jewish question, and to resettle and compensate the approximately 25,000 French citizens living there. The island will be transferred to Germany under a mandate. Diégo Suarez Bay and the port of Antsirane, which are [sea-] strategically important, will become German naval bases (if the Navy wishes, these naval bases could be extended also to the harbors – open road-steads – Tamatave, Andevorante, Mananjara, etc.). In addition to these naval bases, suitable areas of the country will be excluded from the Jewish territory (Judenterritorium) for the construction of air bases. That part of the island not required for military purposes will be placed under the administration of a German Police Governor, who will be under the administration of the Reichsfuehrer SS. Apart from this, the Jews will have their own administration in this territory: their own mayors, police, postal and railroad administration, etc. The Jews will be jointly liable for the value of the island. For this purpose their former European financial assets will be transferred for use to a European bank to be established for this purpose. Insofar as the assets are not sufficient to pay for the land which they will receive, and for the purchase of necessary commodities in Europe for the development of the island, the Jews will be able to receive bank credits from the same bank.

As Madagascar will only be a Mandate, the Jews living there will not acquire German citizenship. On the other hand, the Jews deported to Madagascar will lose their citizenship of European countries from the date of deportation. Instead, they will become residents of the Mandate of Madagascar.

This arrangement would prevent the possible establishment in Palestine by the Jews of a Vatican State of their own, and the opportunity for them to exploit for their own purposes the symbolic importance which Jerusalem has for the Christian and Mohammedan parts of the world. Moreover, the Jews will remain in German hands as a pledge for the future good behavior of the members of their race in America.

Use can be made for propaganda purposes of the generosity shown by Germany in permitting cultural, economic, administrative and legal self-administration to the Jews; it can be emphasized at the same time that our German sense of responsibility towards the world forbids us to make the gift of a sovereign state to a race which has had no independent state for thousands of years: this would still require the test of history.

Were Jews slaughtering Germans at music Festivals on July 3, 1940, and taking hostages?

Very, very sick people. Choices have consequences. They've earned every bit of it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Were Jews slaughtering Germans at music Festivals on July 3, 1940, and taking hostages?

In their way and in their circumstances, they did try. 

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19, 1943, and ended on May 16, 1943. It was a heroic act of resistance by Jewish residents of the Warsaw Ghetto against Nazi German forces during World War II. The uprising started when the ghetto refused to surrender to SS forces, who were then ordered to destroy the ghetto block by block.  A total of 13,000 Jews were killed, about half of them burnt alive or suffocated. Stroop reported 110 German casualties, including 17 killed.

When this armed rebellion became known, it received an ovation from Jews around the world --- as a sign of power and  hope.

A little history ---

The Nazis rounded up the Jews of Poland and held them in a small area of Warsaw, building a barricade around the perimeter to prevent them leaving.

The Nazis deprived the ghetto inhabitants of food and essential supplies.

The Nazis reduced the average calorie intake of the Jewish inhabitants of the ghetto to 241 calories per day.

The Nazis restricted public utilities such as water and electricity.

The Nazis restricted the inhabitants from receiving adequate health care.

The Jewish inhabitants through the ZZB and the ZOB areas resisted the oppression by the Nazis --- but their rebellion was quickly crushed without mercy for who may have been in the way.

The Nazis destroyed the structure of the ghetto leveling it to the ground to rout the resistance to their oppression.

It was after the Jews in the ghetto had been killed or moved that the world stood up.

Both sides have inflicted and endured pain and terror for generations. 

I don't see the vacuum others do where atrocities against the Israelis are said to occur.  I see cause and effect --- and how rapidly that switches sides.

I see evil nesting in both governments.

Instead of automatic, full support of Israel's war efforts, I think the United States needs at least one line in the sand --- for the benefit of our own soul and legacy.

The challenge for rational people is how to break this incredibly long stalemate between the Israelis and Palestinians.   The consensus, if I'm reading the room correctly, is to kill all the Palestinians --- every man, woman and child --- and ship any the bullets miss to the Sudan.

You are correct.  Time after time, the Pallies choose death.  More death is what they will get despite the bogus claims of moral equivalency.  They will continue to cry victim, and there will continue to be fools in the West who will buy it because they don't like Jews.  You can see it without leaving this thread.

If they know who is in Hamas, but doesn't point them out to Israeli's - they are Hamas.

If they want to destory Israel and kill Jews more than they want to provide a better life and future for their own families - they are Hamas in spirit.

Even Republican Ireland realized the futility of attempting to unify the remaining 6 counties of Northern Ireland with the Republic.

Until Palestinians accept the futility of destroying Israel and killing every Jew in Canaan, they and their children will not know peace.

Hamas was for all intents and purposes the entire population of Gaza who willingly and sickeningly participated in the rape and murder, sometimes murder then rape of Israelis. They ere on board with Hamas using foreign aid to build tunnels, missiles and bombs, training their children from an early age to be murderers and suicide bombers and that Israelis were lower than dogs. Only after their willing compliance resulted in almost total destruction of their homes and property and starvation due to Hamas stealing almost all food aid do they mouth words against Hamas but it’s all just lip service because given the chance hey would again rape and murder or murder then rape every single Israeli, be they man, woman, or child.

The open air prison of which you speak is being maintained by Hamas, not Israel. For the most part Hamas is supported by the populace. Israel supplies water and electricity. If the aid supplied had been used to build infrastructure, instead of tunnels and weapons their situation would be far different. If the Palestinians are indeed relocated to Sudan...at least it will be a familiar environment. Besides...no one else seems to want them even if they wanted to leave. Sad state of affairs for them.

Igniting global anti-semitism? Surely you jest. When has anti-semitism ever "died down"?

I take exception to the correlation between the Gaza Strip and the American Revolution that you seem to be writing about of late. @Right_in_Virginia . The two are not remotely related. Unless you can provide me with specifics I'll have to call BS.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Simply untrue.  The overlord is Israel and many times I've outlined what Israel uses to control every aspect of life on the Strip, including Hamas.

If the Palestinians are indeed relocated to Sudan...at least it will be a familiar environment. Besides...no one else seems to want them even if they wanted to leave. Sad state of affairs for them.

And, don't forget:  International humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, prohibits the unlawful deportation or transfer of civilians, especially protected persons in occupied territories or during armed conflict.

Igniting global anti-semitism? Surely you jest. When has anti-semitism ever "died down"?

Have Jewish people been marched onto box cars in 84 years? 

I take exception to the correlation between the Gaza Strip and the American Revolution that you seem to be writing about of late. @Right_in_Virginia . The two are not remotely related. Unless you can provide me with specifics I'll have to call BS.

There's no connection, so no correlation.  There is, however, a reminder:  We were born through a long, bloody fight to extricate ourselves from the crippling control of an international super bully --- We were then and remain in our hearts and souls today, freedom fighters. This is the core of who we are and the figurative prism we look through when viewing the world.

Sometimes I think you don't even believe what you write...but just like to stir the pot. But some how, at times, I can't refuse the bait.

I've heard that stirring is required to bake something new  .

Teach me how one does not see cause and effect -- and how rapidly that switches sides.

We are witnessing the effect at present.  Now, show me the cause.  What 'cause' did the Palestinian government have in crossing their border with Israel and launching a massive terror attack against Israeli civilians?

You equated Israel's actions in Gaza with how the Nazis dealt with the Warsaw Ghetto in 1944 where 3,000 Jews were loaded into cattle cars each and every day and sent to Sobibor, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, and Auschwitz to be gassed and cremated.  There is no moral equivalency here.  Not even close.  Yet you equate the two.

Here's the deal.  Palestine effectively had their own country.  Not only did they have secure borders, but they also had self rule with ZERO interference from Israel.  No Jews.  Only Palestinians.  Not only that, but Israel was giving them money on top of that.  No ghetto.  No cattle cars.  No death camps.  Only a government led by Hamas that guided Gaza with no outside interference.  So what did that Palestinian government do?  They decided to attack Israel and massacre Israelis.  Yet to you, that attack and massacre was justified.  So let's hear it.  What was the cause?  How did Hamas attain the moral high ground here which made them the victims and Israel the nazis? 

Let's hear it, @Right_in_Virginia

@RepMTG

If America was being bombed day and night because of something horrific our government did, and many innocent Americans and American children were being killed and traumatically injured, and we begged for mercy, but the rest of the world said,

“Americans voted for their government so they deserve it, their government is bad so all Americans are bad, therefore this is what they get and must be done”

And the world was silent to our suffering.

And no one came to our aid.

And our cities and homes were bombed and turned to rubble.

And our infrastructure was destroyed, no farms, no grocery stores, no more organized society.

And no one helped our injured and hungry children.

How would you feel?

What would you think?

What would you do?

This is what is happening to Gaza where in spite of what we have all been told, many innocent people and children are being killed and they are not Hamas.

Does Hamas deserve it? Yes.

Do innocent people and children deserve it? No.

The innocent people in Gaza did not kill and kidnap the innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th.

Just as we spoke out and had compassion for the victims and families of Oct7, how can Americans not speak out and have compassion for the masses of innocent people and children in Gaza?

Is one type of innocent life worthy and another type of innocent life worth nothing?

For me, I think God sees all innocent lives the same and he loves them all. As a matter of fact, He sent his own son for all people, that’s how much He loves us.

America funds Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.

Actually correction.

U.S. taxpayers fund Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid.

That means every U.S. tax payer is contributing to Israel’s military actions.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with.

And I will not be silent about it.
