And how will the Israel/Hamas war end? brooklynite Apr 2024 #37

That is the $64K question, isn't it. There is no way you can kill your way to PEACE. walkingman Apr 2024 #61

You can't negotiate with Hamas, and Palestine won't have the military strength to stop Hamas. brooklynite Apr 2024 #63

So, I'll ask you. What is your solution? walkingman Apr 2024 #65

I'm not sure there is one.. brooklynite Apr 2024 #76

What would you do? Hekate Apr 2024 #6

Tough call, Beachnutt Apr 2024 #10

Maybe attacking Iran's diplomatic space not such a good idea. Sneederbunk Apr 2024 #7

Maybe Iran funding and training terrorist orgs. to attack Israel isn't such a good idea? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2024 #9

A war on one front isn't enough for Netanyahu? Autumn Apr 2024 #11

Palestinian groups such as HAMAs? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2024 #13

I was clear about what I said. Paranoid people should not be in leadership positions, Autumn Apr 2024 #15

It's a nasty shadow war with plenty of assassinations of scientists, military personnel and others, bombings etc. from Zipgun Apr 2024 #19

Agree with everything you posted. MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2024 #21

If Iran's attack was ineffective it was because they intended it to be. Nothing more than bluster. Autumn Apr 2024 #25

Based on what? What you want to be true? Happy Hoosier Apr 2024 #26

Based on paying attention. Israel attacks Irans embassy, Iran had to respond. They did with no Autumn Apr 2024 #29

Autumn you are spot on, gab13by13 Apr 2024 #52

And the 110 ballistic missiles they fired? Were they slow moving too? EX500rider Apr 2024 #68

From Iran? Pretty much yes. Voltaire2 Apr 2024 #75

Ballistic missiles by nature do not travel slowly EX500rider Apr 2024 #77

They are so unbelievably fast that they were all shot down. Voltaire2 Apr 2024 #78

Ballistic missiles on terminal phase are Hypersonic missiles EX500rider Apr 2024 #80

Are you complaining that Israel has a efficient missile defense system or what? EX500rider Apr 2024 #82

Exactly my point. Voltaire2 Apr 2024 #83

The attack included 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles and 110 ballistic missiles. EX500rider Apr 2024 #60

This was foreseeable. EndlessWire Apr 2024 #33

Maybe supporting terrorist groups who attack Israeli civilians isn't a good idea either. brooklynite Apr 2024 #38

Maybe a 50 year brutal occupation is a real bad idea. Voltaire2 Apr 2024 #41

Maybe invading an independent nation right after its was founded is a real bad idea too... brooklynite Apr 2024 #45

The 67 war was 19 years after. Voltaire2 Apr 2024 #48
