Well the US isnt going across the border and harming their people at that level. We only did that to Central America on the down low in the 70s and 80s.  Besides dont be giving the GOPers ideas for a false flag operation.

 

If you listen to the rhetoric of the GOP candidates, that's exactly what we're going to do, even without the described provocation.

Without the described provocation? Joebama is inviting the illegals to run across the border!

This doom porn is ridiculous 

 

their rhetoric is irrelevant, there’s no political will for a fucking invasion of Mexico. It would take some Hamas level shit

I do want to point out that these locations are well within the internationally-recognized pre-1967 borders of Israel and are therefore NOT settlements in the manner as those in the West Bank.

 

My mistake. but the logistical realities of Hamas' forces allow for them to act in the settlements. That would matter if Hamas cared to make choices between combatants and non-combatants (which they clearly do not). 

 

I don't know. It really doesn't matter what I think is justified or what lines each side crosses.

Israeli fatalities are now officially reported at 250 and Netanyahu is effectively imposing a total siege on Gaza:

 

Quote

 

Israel will cut off the supply of electricity, fuel and goods to Gaza, according to media reports citing a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

 

Gaza was already thrown into darkness on Saturday as Israeli authorities cut power to its territories.

 

Along with Egypt, Israel has blockaded the Gaza Strip since 2007 citing security reasons.

 

Israel controls the air space over Gaza and its shoreline and restricts who and what goods are allowed in and out through its border crossings. Similarly, Egypt controls who passes in and out through its border with Gaza.

 

 

Analysts are predicting that the inevitable ground invasion will be "significantly" greater than the 2014 one where 80,000 reserves were called up.

 

Quote

 

Yonah Jeremy Bob, a military analyst for the Jerusalem Post, says Israel is likely planning a major ground assault into Gaza – the biggest since the 2014 invasion.

 

“There’s going to be a second act and that is an invasion of Gaza, and I think larger than 2014 when Israel called up 80,000 reserves. Israeli has four divisions of reservists that it is already calling up and has moved 35 brigades to the border. So what Israel had a 6:30am this morning [when the Hamas attack began] was minuscule to what it has now. Within a day or two, Israeli will have a massive force that will be able to overwhelm Hamas forces in Gaza,” Bob told Al Jazeera.

 

“What the question will really be is how far they want to go? Does it want to topple Hamas and have to figure out being in control, or handing control over to the Palestinian Authority, or a multinational force and all the consequences that could have?”

 

 

I can unequivocally say that the response of the Palestinian Authority/Fatah to that idea would be, "You have to be goddamned kidding me, right?!?  You do remember what happened the last time we had a presence in Gaza?!?"

 

 

The PA/Fatah want absolutely nothing to do with Gaza at all. Ever.

The IDF has started broadcasting very specific evacuation instructions in Arabic to the civilian population of Gaza:

 

Quote

The Israeli military giving civilians in Gaza very specific evacuation instructions. Telling them to move deeper into the strip in multiple areas. It appears Israel will soon start a heavier ground and/or air response.

 

The instructions include charts/maps indicating the specific direction in which to evacuate.

The problem is it is beneficial for both the far right in Israel and Hamas for there to be a never ending conflict as it helps consolidate their power. It wouldn't surprise me if Yahoo sat on the intelligence because this great for him. Now he can quell the judiciary protests and consolidate power more easily.

The AP just reported 600 fatalities in Israel, 313 fatalities in Gaza.

 

The IDF claims that they've killed 400 infiltrators and captured "dozens" more.

 

The Israeli cabinet just declared that an official "state of war" exists.


 

This scene keeps playing in my head.

Hamas fighters rearmed in southern Israel: AJ correspondent

 

Quote

 

Reporting from southern Israel, about 10km (6.2 miles) from the Israel-Gaza fence, Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds has said that the Israeli military has not managed to dislodge Hamas fighters from some of the towns and villages in Southern Israel.

 

“We’ve also heard that Hamas fighters have been resupplied and rearmed and taken a new place – Kibutz Magen – in southern Israel, which was previously untouched,” Reynolds said.

 

He added that the reports of 600 people killed so far in Israel are “going to absolutely horrify” Israelis. “That is also going to be a cause for vengeance against Gaza,” he added.

It’s not even going to be the numerical figures that will force that sense of retribution, it could be as few as 50 and they’d feel justified in an extreme response solely because of all the atrocities flippantly uploaded to social media.

Ofer Cassif says he warned the situation would ‘erupt’ if Israel did not change its treatment of Palestinians.

 

Quote

 

Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset and leftist Hadash coalition, said he warned the situation would “erupt” if the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not change its policies towards Palestinians. Hadash has four seats in the 120-member Knesset.

 

“We condemn and oppose any assault on innocent civilians. But in contrast to the Israeli government that means that we oppose any assault on Palestinian civilians as well. We must analyse those terrible incidents [the attacks] in the right context – and that is the ongoing occupation,” Cassif said.

 

“We have been warning time and time again… everything is going to erupt and everybody is going to pay a price – mainly innocent civilians on both sides. And unfortunately, that is exactly what happened,” he said.

 

“The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians  – and unfortunately now Israelis as well,” he added.

Tell a soldier some young woman was raped by an invader, show that video of blood on her pants, I’d go house to house at their age.

 

We are about to see phantom fury without American restraint.

The revelation adds a potential diplomatic complication to an episode that has renewed questions about how the White House handles sensitive intelligence.

Reported fatalities now stand at 700 Israelis, 421 Palestinians.

 

The USS Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group has been ordered to the Eastern Mediterranean to support Israel military operations should it be requested.  USAF fighter squadrons in the region are also being augmented.  In addition, military equipment including munitions are being "rapidly" provided to Tel Aviv.
