 File under: Hamas 

#1 I would offer to draft a formal reply to the Hamas, but they would probably not use it. It'd contain words like 'get fcuked'.

#2 The war against Hamas & co. should not have the appearance of war.

#3 Hamas has made the brag that they can withstand "many months" of Israeli retaliation. Make them prove it.

#4 Sounds like Nancy Pelosi saying she'd put up a fight on 6 January.

#5 They want war until they start getting clobbered and then they want to halt attacks on a "mutual basis". Screw that. Gotta make it hurt real bad or else they'll rinse and repeat.

#6 Just like every insurgent group since the end of WWII they are playing primarily to the press, and just like the rest they need to learn definitively that just because you start it that doesn't mean you get to say how or when it ends.

#7 Israel calls up 7,000 reservists as its military is deployed to Gaza border in preparation for possible ground invasion while its police battle to control riots between Arabs and Jews

#8 I think the Arabic word you're looking for is hudna - a truce that gives you a chance to regroup and re-arm.

#11 Hamas wouldn't be talking cease-fire if they thought they were winning..

#12 War is played in various dimensions. From technical to moral.
The is a war for heart and minds first, all the rest will follow.

One of most important dimensions is that violence should not look gratiutously like destroying a building with no apparent military value. If you want to do it you need to have means to show its military importance.

Notice how no journalist says that Palestinians violate Geneva Conventions by bombing indicriminately Israeli cities?

So what is Israel doing to make them unconfortable in their bias?

How Israel is showing Palestinians don't care about their children?

Seem they only think kinectic.

#13 After all these years of setting up rockets and training rocket teams, it is astounding that Hamas and PIJ still fire hundreds of rockets that don't clear Gaza.

could be that Israel has assets in Gaza fiddling with the rocket controls before deployment

#14 UP5935 - We all here are well aware of Paleos setting up rocket platforms in schools, hospitals, civilian blocks. TheJ uice warn ahead before hitting those human-shield targets. The Paleos? No. They alone commit human crimes
