Either it was really 3 on the story above, or we just did 3 more. Either way, some casualties. Not many, but one is an excuse for Iran to escalate.
I also worry about Hanukkah coming in a few weeks, as i expect another 9/11 style terrorist attack here, and in other countries, against gatherings of Jewish people.

Well, id say that is an escalation.. "US carries out airstrikes in
eastern Syria targeting IRGC and Iranian-backed groups weapons
storage facility"
Iran groups had already been sending rockets at our bases in recent weeks. It gets kinda hard to tell who escalated whom

They may not realize it, but Israel just caved to pressure, and just
lost the war. They have agreed to a daily 4 hour cease fire. You
can not give your enemy time to recover like this. And that is all it
will do.
It's a daily 4-hour humanitarian corridor and a bunch of civilians have been fleeing south under the white flag. If Israel can't do that much, they risk losing their claim to spare civilian lives.

And another ally caves to the hate mob. Instead of standing up to
them and treating them like the terrorist criminals they are: "French
President Macron calls on Israel to stop killing Gaza's women and
babies – BBC News"
Macron has outstayed his welcome.
A bunch of civilians, a bunch of Hamas supporters, a good number of Hamas fighters, and allows the remaining Hamas to regroup.
Yes, id be all for it if it was JUST helping out civilians. But its doing just as much ( if not more ) harm by helping the enemy, and falling prey to their propaganda. And no, there is no easy answer when you are fighting embedded terrorists.

Right, but creating martyrs for Iran, will escalate things even more. We lose people it pisses us off, they lose people it empowers them.

I had the same thought. How many Hamas fighters are riding out under white flag. Guess time will tell. No easy answers.

They had it figured out in ancient times. What happens is westerns would not like to apply Roman style policies, much less Attila-style.
"A quick surrender gets everybody to live."
"If there is trouble we kill everybody of your military age men."
"If there is more trouble we just kill everybody".

There are three types of philistines in Gaza:
1. Men, who are terrorists
2. Women, who breed terrorists
3. Children, who are in training to become terrorists
I find it extremely alarming how quickly the media has consolidated its support behind the terrorists over the last couple of weeks. Originally they were trying to maintain some amount of distance, but it's now "kill Israel, kill the Jews" all the time.
My daughter is attending college right now and she is bringing home reports of heavy anti-semitism and pro-Hamas activity on her campus. I am guessing it's the same on most campuses.
I hope and pray for peace in our time. Peace through strength. Peace through killing every last philistine remaining in Gaza.
While i dont disagree, its a far bigger problem than just those in Gaza. That wont fix anything.

Don't like her a bit, but i have to give credit when its due. Killary says Hamas needs to be eliminated. Her words.
She is on the correct side of this issue.

I had to explain the meaning of that phrase to my 23 year old son.
And i guess we are now getting involved in some sort of military action with Venezuela and its neighbor.
Super.
wtf
""The Biden administration is openly threatening Americans over Ukraine. In a classified briefing in the House yesterday, defense secretary Lloyd Austin informed members that if they don’t appropriate more money for Zelensky, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.” Pay the oligarchs or we’ll kill your kids," Carlson tweeted. However, his statement cannot be verified. Neither Austin, nor the Defense Department have reacted to the statement."
Of course they cant be reached for comment.
It's pretty damn obvious that the military industrial complex wants us to be at war. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Don't worry though, they won't blow up the whole world in a nuclear holocaust.
That would destroy the military industrial complex and then they wouldn't be able to do any further wars for profit.
That's not even sarcasm.
Unless you get someone who is a bit off kilter, not part of the collective, and just gets pissed off enough one afternoon to say "f-it if i cant be emperor of the planet, then no one will be".. Or is ill, about to die, and says "f-it you are all going with me".
Or accidents... Come close to that before.
Or covid v2, once released gets out of control and kills most of us..
Well, i guess i was wrong. I expected a mass-casualty event on the 7th. it didnt happen.
Not complaining, just surprised.
