Watching the news, reporting hezbolia and Israel are exchanging artillery fire on the Northern border, not good.
WAR DECLARED in Israel
- Thread starter Glenn R. McMannly
- Start date
Viewing the stream of ghastly, horrific videos of the unthinkable desecration of Israeli citizens one thought keeps popping up in my head:
Parking Lot.

Should Hezbollah wish to join in, remember they are now part of the government of Lebanon.
"Since 1990, Hezbollah has participated in Lebanese politics, in a process which is described as the Lebanonisation of Hezbollah, and it later participated in the government of Lebanon and joined political alliances."
copied Wikipedia
If the state of Lebanon starts another front, will the US have a green light against Lebanon? They must study this scenario, because Iran is already involved. Will Nasrallah become another Suliamani?

As a friend posted elsewhere, just think of the difference if each of those Israeli's documenting this carnage from their apartment windows had a rifle instead of a smartphone.

If this is true, is anybody surprised?

Not to worry...the UN observed a moment of silence today.
Whatta mess.
I support the Israelis, 100%. I think they have to accept that their people held hostage will die. They must, for the future of their country, destroy Hamas. I also regret the innocent Palestinian civilians who will die during the Israeli reprisal.
I see no alternative.
Ain't pretty.
Best to act quick.

Onomea, I'm sorry to say I have to agree with you in this.
No quarter given and none should be shown.

The only explanation I can think of is that the evil subhumans behind the unspeakable acts of horror directed against women, children, babies and the elderly wanted to provoke a massive and deadly retaliation. A retaliation that will inevitably cause massive pain, death and misery to their own people. What they hope to gain from this is beyond my ability to speculate.

What they hope is that when Israel retaliates, as it must, and Palestinian innocents die, as they will, as Hamas terrorists use them as a shield, world opinion will turn against Israel.
It's a very transparent strategy. May work, too. (I hope not.)
For myself, for our country, for our allies, for all countries and peoples of good moral character, I hope we can remember why, as innocent Palestinian civilians die, this latest war began, and remember who is responsible for innocents dying and suffering as peace, and the security of Israel, are restored.
I don't believe, whatever the cause, whatever the mismatched military force available, that terrorism against civilians, is justified. I believe those who employ terrorism against civilians, women and children especially, deserve no mercy, have lost their humanity, and should be exterminated.

The rules were there to keep guns away from certain extreme types in Israeli society as well as the chunk of the population deemed to be of questionable loyalty. There's plenty of crazies with all kinds of angles in that part of the world you don't want having guns
Wouldn't end well for them. If they managed to take Texas, they'd still have to deal with the rest of us crazy gun nuts.
Winter is on the way, doubt they will make it this far.

Likely, and no.
The Nazi’s tried to hide their crimes. These people are telling the whole world exactly who they are, live and in real time.
The videos are horrific.
And people are supporting barbarism in Toronto, NYC, London, and Berlin.

[FONT="]No one with any amount of sound mental health "likes" war. Because of courage, personalities, beliefs, and a sense of duty, some thankfully are 'in their element', though, and stand the line against blind hate and fanaticism. The guard dog does not stop to consider the loftier attributes of his post or calling, he simply does his duty with an unflinching devotion to keeping the enemy at bay or, if necessary, returning greater violence on him for his hostile actions.[/FONT]
[FONT="]One cannot 'threaten' or 'reason with’ a rabid animal in the throes of madness and blood lust. The animal must be destroyed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Many times, those with the luxury of time and distance endeavor to feel good about their humane feelings and philosophize about the morality of it all, picking apart both sides in efforts to be ‘fair minded’. I grant them their right and freedom to think as they will, but reject their notions and advice as inconsequential, coming from someone that usually has never put themselves in harm’s way to protect places and peoples not their own. I choose not to be bored by their arguments.[/FONT]

Just heard a report that one of the Israeli commanders in charge of clearing Gaza relates that they found a site with 40 murdered babies, many who had been beheaded. The Nazis had nothing on these barbaric pieces of ****

My friends tour left Israel this morning at 6:00 a.m.
I have been told they have just arrived in Amman, Jordan. That had to be a long twelve hours.

Reported by CBP, 151 on the terrorist watch list apprehended on the border this year. How many others have gotten through?
That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and which reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between Oct. 2021 and Oct. 2023, shows that agents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period, as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria.

Shades of Iwo, Okinawa, and Tet along with earlier comparisons to 911 and Pearl. Reports of 1500 dead Hamas in Israel. Mercy is in short supply. Plenty of worry to go around.
