Israel is going to go full Israel, even the US won't be able to stop them this time. This won't end well for Iran.

[davidI]

This won't end well for Iran.

Or Biden.

He's been busy trying to broker a deal between Saudi and Israel in return for Saudi to lower the price of oil which will be key to Biden's re-election chances.

Iran obviously wants its leverage over the US back.

[jutes]

Or Biden.

Don't know about him. The engine is running but no one is behind the wheel.

No different than Trudeau. It's the party forces behind the puppet that matter.

Quelle surprise, the shit leopard doesn’t change its shit spots.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I haven't heard about this in awhile and assumed it had just sorted itself out. You know? Like what happened in Darfur. Obviously they sorted everything out. Why can't these dummies?

[max_boost]

This not a good idea
This not gonna go well
Good luck

[ExtraSlow]

Obviously with the faraway border wars it's important that we send weapons immediately.

[ZenOps]

We should send bayonets along with third rate ammunition so that when it misfires they are forced to stab each other, at which point USA takes over both sides with a couple gattling guns?

Sounds like a plan to me. End the conflict by making both sides lose, leave it to the wildlife to reclaim.

[ExtraSlow]

Airdrop bacon bits on em all.

So are we gonna get double meat sub off this or not?

A few thousand years of war over that small strip of land. I blame Egypt for abandoning it.

[Masked Bandit]

I know nothing of the ebbs and flows of the conflicts & wars in that part of the world, seems like it's been going on for thousands of years. Are these recent events actually anything significant or is it just another episode of the longest running story in the world?

[gwill]

They say this is Israel's 9/11. If that's the case expect a massive response. Lots of pro Hamas rallies cheering the deaths happening across Canada. Saw some videos/photos of Toronto over passes with flags saying honk for Palestine.

Have to admit I'm not up to date on all the battles but if your walking the streets murdering civilians can't see how anyone supports that.

CUPE union has lost their minds throwing their support behind the attacks.

[tirebob]

Israel is going to smash back hard... They give absolutely zero fucks what the rest of the snowflake world thinks when they are under attack and rightfully so. It is going to go ugly fast!

[msommers]

Israeli PM said "The enemy will pay an unprecedented price,” he added, promising that Israel would “return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known.”

Palestine is going to get flattened for this

[jutes]

Israel telling all of Gaza to get out before it’s too late. That entire strip of land is going to be uninhabitable for a long time.

This is why you don’t sign treaties or peace agreements, you go until one side is wiped out. Gaza is headed towards parking lot status and the rest of the Arab world is too chicken shit to help.

Don’t worry though CBC says Hamas who are a listed terrorist organization in Canada… aren’t terrorists. That’s a wrong think opinion and cannot be uttered on their platform.

[Gman.45]

My cousin's son has been in Israel for a month out of an 11 month stay with the Zealous project, part of the Bridges for Peace project. They are a Christian family, not Jewish, but my cousin's son Jonah felt compelled to do this. He is essentially a volunteer that delivers food to the needy, mainly older holocaust survivors, sort of a mobile food bank.

The family is obviously worried - a lot of Canadians apparently were among the 250 bodies found so far at the site of the music festival that Hamas infiltrators attacked.

The coordinated attack is quite wild.
Drone took out monitoring positions at the border, followed by a barrage of rockets, while infantry fucking paraglided into Israel.

There is video from the music festival of a bunch of these paragliders making their way there.

[msommers]

Hamas is gonna Hamas and hide in high density civilian buildings. Israel kills civilians, gets called out for it, Hamas finds their justification again and rinse and repeat.

Except Israel might just pound Gaza into oblivion this time, civilians or not. A lot of people are going to die, it's going to be so bad this time around.

Why Hamas wants to keep trying to kick the hornet's nest is beyond sense. In the name of 'doing the right thing' in their minds I suppose.

[whoreads]

When people get treated like animals, we shouldn't be surprised when they act like animals. I know it's not a popular opinion but I think it's the truth.

But celebrating this is fucking abhorrent. They are basically celebrating the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, who are about to get killed in retribution.

EDIT: Hamas has thanked Ukraine for their support: https://bnn.network/world/ukraine/hamas-acknowledges-ukraine-for-weapon-supply-unmasking-the-illicit-arms-trade/

[ThePenIsMightier]

So, who stands to benefit from this in Europe or North America? Will this help Biden? I've got to think that somehow it will and that his puppet-masters knew damn well this was going to happen.

Pro-Palestine rally to be held Sunday
A pro-Palestine rally is scheduled for Sunday in Ottawa.

The Palestinian Youth Movement said in a post on Instagram that it will hold a rally at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street.

The post by the group advertising the rally was celebratory of the attack. The post did not name Hamas, which is considered a designated terrorist entity in Canada, but referred to the "resistance in Gaza." In Arabic, the post references the "Al-Aqsa Flood", the name coined by Hamas for the operation that was launched on Saturday.

"We call on our people in Ottawa and in the far diaspora to celebrate the resistance's success, to uplift their calls, and to march this Sunday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. at the Human Rights Monument (220 Elgin St.)," the post said.

Really great time to start deporting supporters of terrorism within Canada.

I'm sure Israel will end up with more outrage once they start flattening cities. Surprised it's taken them this long to get started.

This is a myth - religion is not the main reason for the conflict and it's actually very low on the list of reasons.

It's a conflict over secular issues of land and nationhood. But I'm sure you'll prove me wrong by insulting my house and car.

Thing is, remove religion and the void will be filled with some other excuse to hate each other, fight and kill. People kill over money, power, skin colour, etc etc... Religion is just one more excuse but certainly not the only excuse. The main reason people kill each other is simply because so many people are pieces of shit in general, religious or not.

For sure, that region is filled with hate that happens to stem from religious beliefs. But I agree, humans in certain parts of the world are just evil and have zero morals. They react in ways that are simply disgusting and IMO should be wiped from the planet.

[ThePenIsMightier]

A bit lofty to say this isn't religion-based. They may not directly be killing each other because they don't like the others' religion... But... The whole thing is about access to important sky-man land that each feels should be theirs because sky-man.

Got dang. The comments are also interesting to read.

Israel don’t mess with them

[Gman.45]

You know, I used to shake my head, or laugh, at guys in the mid east circa 2003 to 2010, who had "crusader" patches on their gear. Laugh even harder at those who got tattoos of such. Just pissing people off unnecessarily, and for a flying spaghetti monster reason, I'd think.

Now, while not being on board with the religious reasons....

Looks like the "find out" portion of the offensive will soon begin.

DingDingDing!

Tell'm what he's won Johnny!

I'm in for this plan.

Iran didn't want Saudi and Israel on the peace path, which they have been very recently. Iran, as it's continuously done, stokes the fires in Gaza, and supplies arms and training to Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. All roads lead back to Iran. I'm not so much for the bombing of Iran's people, but taking out the leaders and political/religious infrastructure, I'd press fire on that myself.

I said this exact thing to people. USA is already struggling with supporting Ukraine. They can't support Ukraine, Israel and then Taiwan at the same time.

Might be time to stock up on bullets. They've already been a pain to get over the last 12 months.

When I was growing up, the mantra was always "The USA and NATO can sustain fighting 2 major wars on different fronts, plus a brushfire elsewhere, simultaneously". Two big wars and a brushfire. Now we can barely handle the brushfire.

Also, when you say "bullets", do you mean ammunition, like as in bullet, case, powder, primer, or are you actually referring to just "bullets". If so, I have a pile of 308/300 and some other rifle caliber bullets, as well as a lot of various handgun caliber bullets, mostly 9mm and .45. I have a lot of ammunition too, but that isn't for sale/trade/barter/gift at the moment. But I do have bullets and some cases that have only been fired once (handgun), that I'm willing to part with, if you're interested, just to help a brotha out.

[ThePenIsMightier]

My more learned friend told me something like 23 Palestinians perish for every dead Israeli in all these back & forth skirmishes during the past decade, so I can see how a little fist pump would be in order after this latest terrorist act. But it needs to be a quiet fist pump, not a parade in Ottawa.
With carte blanche for Israel now, I think that ratio is about to go to 100:1 and with numbers like that, when does genocide enter the chat? Is our meaningless country actually supporting genocide? The best of the best immigrants from the Middle East are from Lebanon and we have piles of them in Canada. I haven't met a Jewish Canadian (let alone an Israeli) once, ever.
What the fuck are we doing?

[killramos]

I see this less comparable to genocide and more to a pile of moronic lemmings continuing to jump off the same cliff after the person in front of them.

Maybe every once in a while one of these lemmings hits an Israeli while jumping off said cliff, but it doesn’t seem like a winning strategy.

[gwill]

Your concerned about Israel's response that might end in the death of many other people?

USA has no artillery left to spare, its all used up.

Money is also all gone, there is barely enough to make it to the next money printing session.

Arguably, this is the best time for an insurgent terrorist group to flex power. There may be more flare ups as US dominance through abundant firearms wanes.

[jutes]

No rush to invade gaza. Power, water and resupplies are cut off and it will only be a matter of time. Hard to feel sorry for them when they don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist and want to see every man, women and child killed. Many of these “terrorists” who crossed into Israel on Saturday were ordinary people, raping and abducting. Anyone who voted for and supports hamas, which could be in the hundreds of thousands if not million, has just as much blood on their hands.
