What's so incredibly impressive is the mindblowing effectiveness and accuracy of Israeli strikes against Hamas.

In all of recorded history, no urban combat civilian to combatant death ratio has ever been as low as in the Gazan war. Possibly as low as 1:1. In Ukraine it's closer to 5:1, in Mosul 3:1.

This is due to one fact: the remarkable precision of the Israeli defense forces.

If Hamas had its way, given that they launch rockets from hospitals, from kindergardens and always from civilian areas, then all of Gazan civilians would be dead.

Fortunately, the Israeli military can not only defend itself, it can also defend Gazan civilians!

This is precisely how all militaries should conduct themselves.

Fortunately, Bibi Netanyahu is in charge. He is able to withstand the tide of nonsense and get the job done!

indicted by ICC

The lead ICC judge, Karim Khan, is himself being investigated for sexual assault, and he sped up the indictment to draw attention away from his own misdeeds lol

That says everything you need to know about the moral character of the ICC lol

This is Fact

What a fascinating relationship to facts you have, lol

Beyonce is the queen of spain: FACT!

You see, placing the word "fact" before a statement does not make it so, lol

As for Oct 7, it will be long remembered as the day Israel again awoke to the horrors perpetrated by the 14th century Islamic homicidal maniacs who are their neighbors

FORTUNATELY, Israel is capable of defending herself against barbarity.

They WILL prevail.

The only loser in this conflict are those who initiated it: Iran and its proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc

Oh and the Gazan people, who of course elected Hamas and would do so again and again, as shown by poll after poll after poll. Fortunately, Israel will not allow the gazans to destroy the jewish spirit in the middle east

Fortunately Israel is not only defending itself valiantly in this war (on 7 fronts),

They now have a powerful ally in the current US administration.

Trump sees through the lies of Hamas and their enablers.

Knowing full well that what happens in Gaza can happen elsewhere (west, be warned!)

We can only pray that the Gazan arabs are safely removed to Egypt (who has decided to finally accept 500,000 gazans), so that Israel can prosecute its war against Hamas with great haste.

Israel had its hands tied behind its back by the prior US administration.

Now we will see them fight the way they fought against Hezbollah: with precise force, and immense speed.

Hamas, now devoid of much of their leadership, will soon see an end

And with Gazans in Egypt, they will then become Egypt's problem, not Israel's!

We all remember the hospital hoax too yes?

When Hamas claimed 500 killed when a missile struck a hospital in the early days of the war?

Turned out to be a dozen lol

And the missile?

Why it turned out it was launched by palestinian islamic jihad LOL

They can't even AIM their own missiles lol

The Gazans launch missiles AND THEY HIT THEMSELVES

Of course that doesnt stop some from eating up the nonsense and posting it here lol

Very much so Peter Neil.

But worse than that, the surveys used have little correlation to true measures of happiness:

https://yaschamounk.substack.com/p/the-world-happiness-report-is-a-sham

As outlined in the article, the happiness report is a MASSIVE SCAM.

It has little to do with reality. Scandinavians are FAR from happy in reality, for example, and Thailand ranks low on the happiness report, which is ABSURD

Well put NB!

Indeed, within Israel itself we see the co-prosperity. 20% of Israelis are arabs and they get along with the Jews, Christians and Druze there.

Unfortunately, the Gazans and west bank arabs want no less than the whole pie. This is well documented, particularly in on-the-street style interviews. Reeducation is crucial to the future success of coprosperity. No more Farfur the mouse teaching Gazan children to kill jews.

Reeducation is key. reeducation away from Jew-hatred and towards acceptance of Jews as neighbors.

But first, Hamas MUST be eliminated! They are the most prominent obstacle to a bright future. War, as in WWII, is unfortunately very necessary.

Trump's Gaza plan needs to be implemented immediately to save lives.

Get the civilians out of an active war zone, just like any other war, civilians must be allowed to leave!

Hopefully they can go to one of the African nations.

Although we know Egypt won't take them (Gazan Arabs regularly try to overthrow the Egyptian government, as they have tried in Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait...sigh)

It seems the Gazan arabs have stopped HANDING OUT CANDY to celebrate the death of Jewish people, so there is a bright side to all this.

One must wonder what it takes to get Gazans to stop praying, cheering and dancing to the death of Jewish people (as they did on Oct 7 and when the Israeli hostages were released)

I guess we know they ANSWER now!

They don't seem to like it when Jewish people FIGHT BACK!

The fascinating thing about consistently rejecting peace (for example, rejecting 95% of the west bank and half of jerusalem, as was rejected by Yasser Arafat, to Bill Clinton's disbelief), and rejecting it IN FAVOR of:

-Intifada (slaughtering Israelis at bus stops, weddings, markets, etc, in the hundreds) -Lobbing completely imprecise missiles DESIGNED to maximally kill civilians (as opposed, ya know, to targeting military and accidentally killing civilians) -Sending 4000 terrorists and civilians (half of those who entered Israel on Oct 7 were Gazan civilians) into Israel to slaughter 1200, gang rape teenage women at a music festival, burn families alive, and kidnap 200

...is that there are CONSEQUENCES to such things.

This is the important point which seems lost on so many.

There are only SO MANY times you can reject peace in favor of slaughter,

Before the other side says: "Hey you know what? You and me? This just ain't working"

It will be interesting to see where the future takes things...

ONE THING is certain: No people, anywhere, who is this bent on destruction (Israel's destruction, as well as THEIR OWN destruction, as Palestinians place remarkably little value upon their own lives, choosing to martyr their children), will gain statehood.

The alternatives? Who knows?

Certainly the Arab states --- JORDAN, EGYPT, SAUDI ARABIA, KUWAIT, LEBANON, for example --- know that those alternatives do not include giving citizenship to the palestinians, who would only try to overthrow those countries.

It is a dilemma that, unfortunately, only the Palestinians themselves can solve. Will they choose to stop teaching their children to hate?

Will they choose love and life over hate and death?

I hope so :)

(but I ain't holding my breath)

Fortunately, the palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Thus giving the IDF the best chance to finally end Hamas once and for all.

The best part is that there is finally a US administration with some sense (FINALLY!), that the two state solution is simply unworkable.

The palestinians (whether represented by an ELECTED HAMAS), or by the PA, who is just Hamas-lite) have rejected COUNTLESS peace overtures

ONE simple reason: they want ALL of Israel, not just a sliver. They want ALL..

Trump sees through the nonsense fortunately.

His plan most certainly won't work (because Egypt won't take in palestinians, fearing their ultimate revolutionary tendency which has bitten Egypt many times)

However THE KEY is that the two state solution is FINALLY dead

Trump said he would buy Gaza. Now he says he won't buy it but will own it.

He only ever said he would own it. He never said he would buy it.

The reason he can own it is because the last owner WAS EGYPT

And guess what? Egypt doesn't want it back after Egypt started a war with Israel and then quickly lost, lol

Egypt doesn't want it back because the gazan arabs only ever incite revolution and jihad, so no surprise.

So there's no one to "buy" it from, duh.

Fos, the Lancet is a medical journal lol, you do realize that yes?

Besides which, the critical point is that no urban combat conflict IN HISTORY has had such a LOW civilian:fighter mortality ratio than the conflict in Gaza.

IT IS UNPRECEDENTED. All thanks to the accuracy and morality of the IDF.

Stop quoting medical journals (which themselves extrapolate their internal figures from Gazan health ministry data: this ministry is literally part of Hamas, lol)

If the IDF really wanted to cause damage, this ratio would be NOWHERE CLOSE to what it is. Could you imagine what the JSDF would do if China massacred 1200 Japanese civilians and gangraped hundreds of women at an EDM party and burned families alive? (oh wait we already know what would be done based on the historical precedent set between those two countries)

The UN and the international community state

LOL, wallace, who (besides reddit and student protesters) give a rats behind about what the UN thinks???

They are the most corrupt international body in history (even moreso than FIFA: and that's saying something lol)

Their human rights council is led by dictatorships more often than not. It's simply a vox box for the corrupt and irrelevant.

Elected. Past tense. It isn’t forever.

Unfortunately for your ill considered argument, 75% of gazan arabs SUPPORT HAMAS today, even knowing the Oct 7 atrocities.

In other words, if elections were held AGAIN, they would elect Hamas AGAIN.

Sickening really

many of those hope to be able to return

Lol wallace, you're getting ahead of yourself my friend!

Let's LET THEM LEAVE first, as you pointed out this has happened with millions already globally.

First END HAMAS

I can only hope (pray?) you feel the same and don't actually support Hamas

But, since you brought it up, why on earth should gazan arabs be allowed to return to a place from which they launched the Oct 7 massacre against Israel?

And YES: more than HALF of those who committed the Oct 7 atrocities were palestinian CIVILIANS

No surprise since they are taught to hate jews from birth (see Farfur the mouse teaching children to martyr themselves by killing jews). Those that didn't attack, SUPPORT Hamas.

NO ONE would let nighbors like that to continue living beside them.

It would be INSANITY to allow a people who HATE you to live beside you when all peace offerings were met with perpetrated atrocity

Ah Underworld, Why on earth should gazan arabs get their own state when THEY VOLUNTARILY ELECTED HAMAS??

in other words: the ONE time they were given a chance to create a state, they CREATED A TERRORIST STATE

One which they STILL support!

Madness (is doing the same thing again and again and expecting something different, like offering peace to palestinians and expecting anything but relentless destruction)

The Gaza Palestinians could be moved into the illegal Jewish settlements on the West Bank.

Hardly illegal lol. That land was taken from Jordan when JORDAN LOST THE WAR of 67 (a war they STARTED lol)

You know, as land gets lost when a side loses in battle, as happens in ALL CONFLICTS around the world, for all of human history.

That said, Israel would LOVE to give it back to Jordan, but guess what?

Jordan doesn't WANT it back! Why you ask?

Because palestinians EXCEL at inciting revolution WHEREVER they go (including Jordan)

The only way the Palestinians will leave Gaza is if they are forced out by US/Israel troops

Ah Wallace my friend, this would seemingly be disproven by the MILLIONS OF SYRIANS who voluntarily left Syria, not to mention the MILLIONS OF UKRAINIANS who voluntarily left Ukraine

You aren't even being asked to read a history book, lol, this is RECENT HISTORY

It turns out (shocking!) that when given the option, civilians LIKE to LEAVE active warzones, lol

65.000 people in Gaza

Lol where are you getting your numbers from Fos?

EVEN HAMAS says only 45,000 lol

The FACT is that ALL numbers are simply MADE UP by Hamas

This has been demonstrated statistically

More than HALF of the numbers are HAMAS terrorists

A figure completely unprecendented in THE HISTORY OF URBAN COMBAT

All thanks to the remarkable precision of the IDF, who fight in a warzone created by Hamas, who EMBEDS themselves in the civilian population.

(oh the UN is a complete absurdity which only the extreme left wing or the insane take seriously, lol. sad to see you taken in by their appeal)

The US could take the 2 million Gaza Palestinians.

Fortunately, the US isn't foolish.

Hopefully they can pressure Egypt to take them into the Sinai.

But then again, Hamas and palestinians generally are STRONGLY ALLIED with the Mulsim Brotherhood, who has already overthrown Egypt at least once.

No wonder Egypt is massing tanks by the Gaza border.

The only practical solution is for gazan arabs to be taught to stop hating jews, as they have been miseducated to do for DECADES.

Sadly this is a pipe dream. Then again, the Japanese and the Germans were retrained after WWII, so who knows!

No, they don’t.

You do realize that "from the river to the sea" means one thing:

ALL JEWS DEAD between the jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea

They state QUITE CLEARLY what they desire in their hearts more than anything.

They have rejected peace overtures one after the other because none involve the death of all jews and the reclamation of all of Israel

Hamas doesn’t realize they’re not dealing with the Biden administration anymore, if anything their actions prove once again why at the current level there will never be a two state solution.

They definitely didn't get the memo, I agree

They're about to find out the HARD WAY

Sadly, the two state solution died ages ago, particularly after Clinton noted that Arafat had zero interest despite being offered 95% of the west bank.

Palestinians want ONE THING (stated over and over):

ALL OF ISRAEL, with ALL JEWS DEAD.

Fortunately, Israel and the mighty IDF ain't gonna let that happen!

Lol Wallace, it ain't ethnic cleansing if they leave voluntarily from a WARZONE.

You know, like the way hundreds of millions of people have left warzones throughout human history.

Like the millions who have fled Ukraine most recently

Or the millions who fled Syria.

But yes, as you point out, Jordan won't take them (you left the part why: it's because palestinians instigate revolution wherever they migrate to)

they need to split that part of the world into 2 separate countries; Palestine, and Israel.

Lol Tamarama, this was tried twice at least: the first time in the late 40s when the partition plan CREATED TRANSJORDAN, ie., present day JORDAN

Jordan IS the palestinian states: 2/3 of all of the original territory held by the British mandate

The second time of course was in 2005

You know, when Israel pulled ALL it's people out of Gaza and left the Gazan arabs free to hold elections and attempt statehood

OOPS!

They ELECTED HAMAS and STILL support Hamas even after the Oct 7 ATROCITIES.

SICKENING

I think the time to experiment with palestinian statehood is OVER

So, the Palestinians have absolutely no say in their future-doesn’t seem very democratic to me.

Lol since when does democracy have ANYTHING to do with arab states in the middle east?

They are all ruled by kings and dictators.

Besides, the last time Gazan arabs were given the possibility of expressing themselves democratically, THEY ELECTED HAMAS

And they STILL support Hamas. If democratic elections were held today, gazan arabs would ELECT HAMAS

If Germany can take in a million Syrians in one year, certainly Palestine's neighbors can accept all of its refugees. Come on, folks, let's work for regional peace.

Exactly JeffLee

The problem is the constant instigation of revolution of course by the palestinian people

But for the sake of not being hypocrites, those arab states who pretend to love the palestinians should offer to take them in

Little surprise Jordan doesn't back taking in large numbers...

Jordan massacred tens of thousands of palestinians when palestinian terrorists tried to overthrow the country.

Indeed there is a stark pattern at play: Every country palestinians go to, sees violent revolution within a few years. This is followed by subsequent massacres and expulsion of the palestinians taken in

Palestinians have instigated revolutions in:

Jordan

Egypt

Lebanon

Kuwait

One can only pray that this time palestinians will not instigate revolution and try to live in peace.

Alas, training their children for martyrdom has predictable consequences (see Farfur the mouse - a palestinian childrens show teaching kids to become jihadists)

The false equivalency at play is also beyond bizarre. Kidnapped civilians exchanged for terrorist prisoners who have murdered in cold blood, and at a more than a 50:1 ratio, at that!

The extent to which Israel values life is incredible that they would make a deal such as this. I can't think of any civilization in the history of humanity that would agree to a deal such as this.

And yet, despite this, Hamas STILL breaks the deal. Will wonders never cease??

Goodbye Hamas. You had a long run, but it wasn't short enough!

has to live up to the agreement that was made.

So sorry I must have misread you kurisupisu! I'm sure you meant to say the agreement was just broken by Hamas.

Happy to correct though, no trouble at all.

May Hamas get what's coming their way very shortly.

May there be peace! Trump's plan is the best shot we've had in ages for peace in the region. Clearly Gaza, being the first trial period for a palestinian state, was a complete and utter failure.

The election and continued support of Hamas by the Gazan arabs indicates zero prospects for future peace. It's the continued support of Hamas by the Gazan arabs that is the true issue at the heart of all this.

Unfortunately, decades of raising children to hate will do this (look up Farfur the mouse - a palestinian children's show teaching children to martyr themselves).
