Watching the videos coming out of Israel today and reading

61. I normally don't post in Re: Israel because I've been vilified

By some here over the years and I’m tired of dealing with it but this is a very great exception.

As many have said today, this is their 9/11. You cannot discuss equivalency of the Israelis and the militant killer groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, any more than you can discuss equivalency of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. They will now see the enormous and overwhelming capabilities of a country which once again, like Yom Kippur fifty years ago, was taken by surprise, and made clearly faulty assumptions.

I am old enough to remember the Six Day War, and how many otherwise intelligent and gifted people we’re hoping that the Arab coalition would “make things right“ over there, the people having been “displaced“. When the Israelis annihilated the Egyptian Air Force for starters and proceeded to militarily humiliate the Pan-Arabist efforts of Nasser, people had to concede that Israel was a force to be reckoned with. Well, nothing has changed. I would be surprised if Netanyahu, who has been looking for a real excuse to do this, did not embark upon a campaign to annihilate Hamas, the entire body politic, much as the United States annihilated the Symbionese Liberation Army when they kidnapped that judge from the courtroom and murdered him.

The second time in fifty years…Israel only gets one fatal mistake. They know this and hey are on the warpath and because of who the PM is, it’s most likely going to be merciless.
