Again, that is a nice thought, but it is 100% fantasy. Israel will not move to have that happen. The hope that the 1.2 million Gazans born in Gaza over the last 25 years can reclaim thier grandfathers homes is a false hope. I am not the bad guy for saying the truth, it is simply not possible, Israel will not do that. What we need is a real solution to save lives on both sides, quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is a real solution to save lives on both sides, quickly. they'd settle for just being able to move back within the borders of the state they were forcibly removed from if israel isn't going to let people do that, while they openly invite europeans/north americans to move to israel by "birthright", the state will experience ongoing violent resistance. israel expecting otherwise is a fantasy as well. if we have any shred of humanity, we'd back up the people who just want to go back to the villages and towns that they were chased out of, not the criminals that chased them out. the rest of the world understands this, its really just western countries that dont.

I know that Hamas has stockpiled rockets in hospitals, UN schools and Mosques in the past, including two last week that when exploded by Israel ignited tunnels full of rockets and explosives. So while the easy answer is No, the not to easy to see answer is possibly if the explosive war head was powerful enough or if it ignited gases or stockpiles. it is very easy to make guesses from where we are, it is almost impossible to see the exact truth an hour after something has happened. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With surface to air missiles, various anti tank weaponry and large amounts of artillery and rocket launchers, they have the potential to inflict heavy casualties on Israel.

I don't disagree with you on that which is why I also don't think there is solution to the rockets or the continued existence of Hamas. If they manage to destroy Hamas then there will likely be a something even more sinister replacing it. There is no real solution to save lives, the end result is that Israel destroys Palestine completely after much hand wringing and finger wagging in the West.

It is likely that Gaza City will be bulldozed into the mediteranean. it is harder for the humanitarian side to occur, but i would expect women and children will eventually be veted and moved to the West Bank and fighting age men thouroughly veted before being cleared to join them. I don't believe posessions or weapons will go with them to the west bank, and this assumes no other nation takes on refugees from Gaza, but I don't see the end result being going back to a status quo where Hamas can shoot up Israeli's ever again.

I have also seen the low flying rocket video swooping left then a hard right across the screen, that one is 100% an old video. The Al Jazeera footage of about 90 minutes ago now doesn't seem old.

Apparently the individual you are quoting is a veteran of the Canadian armed forces. I will fully think that he knows the rocket could not do that damage.

Optimist Prime Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I hate that the american administration set up Colin Powell with that false intel to go to the UN with. In my mind he was one of the few remaining decent republicans, it effectively destroyed his political career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Saudi Arabia cut their peace negotiations with Israel and are actually quite disappointed with the US response to all this. While I would agree with much of what you were saying, war has a funny way of snowballing out of control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
