Mother Russia & Greater Israel
Already here, and been here since 67

Israel is now welcome to make it official, it'll bring on another set of problems

The moment the Palestinians admit they were conquered decades ago, the sooner we can move on with actual peace. :manny:

Hamas is hurting them rather than helping them. Wether they are a ploy of the Israeli government to build up Israeli military or not is irrelevant at this point. What's relevant is that since Hamas has been in power, Palestinians have lost big in every facet of society.

If Saudi and Israel normalize relations, I'm not worried about the new sets of problems on the Arabian peninsula. Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Israel being friendly is more than enough for that region.

There is a greater than 50% chance IN MY OPINION that this was almost allowed to happen.

This changes the calculus completely.

Netanyahus domestic political problems gone.

Any opposition to overwhelming Israeli response gone.
Allowed by who ? Bibi ? If so, what makes you think Netanyahu will politically survive this ?

That massive intelligence failure happened on his watch. His government is the most right wing ever in Israel so there will be no blame possible on the left or the center.

Israel will obviously stay united responding to Hamas but once the war is over, heads will roll and I'm not sure he or Likud will be safe from consequences.

Big shout out to Obama for giving Iran that cash crate.

Shoutout to “Dark Brandon” for giving them access to $6 billion. I wonder who funded this Hamas attack :comeon:

Biden admin clears the way for prisoner swap deal with Iran, lifts freeze on $6 billion in Iranian funds
That $6 billion is irrelevant. This was planned well before that.

You are right that the "Axis of the Resistance" (Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, etc) blessed this though.

Hamas are imbeciles but are not that stupid. They know very well that no other Arab country will join in the fight. Even Hezbollah won't get on board, because they want to keep their arsenals and men for when the "real fight" starts, e.g. Israel attacking Lebanon.

This operation, to me, has really some clear goals and objectives: First to show that Israel is not prepared. Israel hasn't entered into a 'State of War' like this since 1973. And in 1973 they were surprised by Egypt.

Israel boasts a superior Air Force, unlimited support from the West and its nuclear weapons, of course. Apart from that Israelis are not the mythical Supermen that the MSM constantly rejoices about.

Second, to expose Saudi Arabia's MBS as a big piece of crap in the eyes of the Arabs. The Arab world will also rejoice at anything done to the Israelis, executions, kidnapping, etc... Seeing how the holy sites at Al-Aqsa are constantly desecrated by Israel why no one is saying or doing anything. Why wouldn't they?

Third, Palestinians are killed on a daily basis by Israelis, with total impunity. Gaza continues to be an open-air prison and the West Bank is under control of both Israel and the totally corrupt PA.

So, what do these Palestinian militants lose in staging this, more or less, suicidal attack? Nothing really, absolutely nothing. In fact they only gain a shaking of the status quo, and also demonstrating to the world that a determined force, with the help of the new "super weapon" that is the Drone, can create some new realities on the ground.

Hamas is not Hezbollah and will abandon the settlements and areas of Israel they have broached into. They don't have the capabilities to do an insurgency.

Israel won't invade Gaza. They don't want to lose soldiers needlessly.

Probably 5,000-10,000 Palestinians will die because of this with big aerial bombings (in addition to the hundreds of Israelis dead today). And its sad.
