But the EUalone has paid them 8.3 billion Euros since the Oslo treaty!
Maybe they should have given them an unlimited supply of Mon Cheri pralines - then by now they all would be alcoholics, would have a necrotic liver and crawl on all four. Germany considers to maybe stop paying them of 350 and 240 million this year alone. - Whats there to consider? Over 100 hostages taken.

I don't have much of an expertise on it, don't worry. It's a (slightly) educated guess. Quote:
I agree, if an other nation is behind it it's most likely Iran. Russia, as I said before, might also be behind it if someone there had a very stupid day, but overall I don't think that's likely - but I also thought it wasn't likely they'd attack Ukraine. |

^ I thought that Hezbollah was supported by Syria and Hamas was supported by Iran
Latest news here is: Rockets fired from Lebanon Hezbollah has openly given their support to Hamas Israel has declared war. Edit Made a search and it looks like Iran and Syria is supporting both terror group End edit Markus

More than 600 Israelis have been killed in attacks from Gaza since Saturday, the government says - and some Hamas fighters are still on Israeli territory, an Israeli military spokesman says
It's believed that as many as 100 Israeli soldiers and civilians were kidnapped when Palestinian militants crossed the border and raided communities Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have killed at least 370 people in the Gaza Strip, with 2,200 wounded, Palestinian officials say The family of a British man serving in the Israeli military, Nathanel Young, say he was killed in an attack; two other Britons are also missing The US has announced more support for Israel by sending munitions and boosting forces in the region, while British PM Rishi Sunak says the UK is one of Israel's "strongest allies" The wave of attacks launched by the Hamas militant group on Saturday morning was the biggest escalation in decades between the two sides.

The Pentagon will send ships and aircraft closer to Israel, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Sunday, demonstrating a major show of force a day after Hamas militants launched attacks across southern Israel.
The closest U.S. Navy assets are the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford and its carrier strike group, which is currently deployed to the Mediterranean Sea. The Biden administration is also expected to announce the transfer of additional weapons to Israel. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/1...hamas-00120523

You"re a pussy! We need to completely nuke the Gaza strip, while simultaneously dropping one on Teheran and Cairo(Mr Atta who masterminded the 9/11 attack was Egyptian-I have a long memory...) and serve notice to Putin's global 'intent by distraction'. The bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 by WWI artillery captain Harry Truman were not intended for Hirohito as much as they were for Stalin and the post 'cold war...so every 80 years we need to repeat the message particularly to the aggravating communist factions. With MIT predicting the end of civilization by 2040, I mark it :17 years and speeding up. Too bad we don't have a detonation-rocket to turn the sun into a red giant and just end the farce over who's God is better; if one exists at all...moreover, at age 72. I don't give a rat's ass

Will this set the Middle east a blaze ?
Someone mentioned Egypt would not allow Israel to (forgot the word) it's military operation in Gaza. Me think they will do exactly that. Markus

You will be hit by the fallout later, if Atomic winter doesn't do it first.

Actually, there are two options, airstrikes and a ground offensive. With airstrikes, Israel can attack targets from a great distance. But a big problem is that you don't know where civilians and hostage Israelis are, so that's where you run a risk. History shows that you can destroy a city, but if you want to break an opponent's will to fight, it doesn't work (bombing Hanoi in the Vietnam War and those on Berlin in World War II). An ground offensive would allow Israel to penetrate deeper into Hamas' power base. But such an offensive carries great risks for Israel. You then have to conquer house by house, floor by floor, room by room territory. That is a very intensive form of fighting, which leads to great losses on both sides. Moreover, Israeli soldiers would then be fighting in Hamas territory; territory where Hamas is lord and master.
