    The issues long-term are going to be in the Westbank and not in Gaza.

    Israel has settlements in the Westbank, they have IDF soldiers and control over the region.

    Israel is not going to give up the Westbank because there are already a lot of Jewish settlements and because Israel needs as much power and land as possible to limit invasions.

    There are issues with the Palestinians living in Israel that have citizenship. Many of these citizens identify as Palestinians and there are socio-economic and racial issues.... but that isn't near the threat that Gaza and the Westbank is.

    The facts are the facts. The UN wanted entry, Israel denied Visas because they hate the UN. So the UN could never do any investigation. I let the facts speak for themselves. Try it.

    Facts? First of all, you didn't even provide a source. Secondly, if you have any serious doubt about whether these murders and abductions happened, I don't know what to say to you.

    Good, get the others as well. And the next layer. Destroy their entire infrastructure and weapons. Hamas must be eradicated. Do NOT let Hamas' leftist allies in the West pressure you into a "ceasefire" - history has shown that the only thing that does is to give Hamas time to re-arm and prepare the next attacks. And they have explicitly stated that that is what they would do.

    The Leftists don't want a "ceasefire". Many of them want Israel to lose, and Jews to die. The leftists' masks have come off, we can see it on US campuses.

    Yes - maybe but countries also do not want Israeli assassins or spies entering their country and assassinating people. Russia does that and the West gets very angry.

    Looks like they are eating healthy - but the bananas are overly ripe.

    They look like a bunch of middle aged engineers in a Costco parking lot. Seems like painting the tunnels would be counter productive.

    How many of them are dead now?

    No way? A Saudi against a terrorist organization aligned with Iran… we could talk about how many terrorists have come out of Saudi Arabia and their allies - but that’s for another time.

    It does illustrate @rocketsjudoka ’s point that Islam isn’t monolithic- well at least it does to an extent because ultimately EVERYTHING in the Middle East boils down to Iran vs. Saudi Arabia…. The Cold War that 95% of the West is oblivious of.

    On a side note - we could use Sadaam Hussein back, he was a buffer with Iran and largely secular. He killed a lot of people, but so did GW Bush but at least Bush didn’t kill many of his own people.

    Most Palestinians are Sunnis (like the Saudis). The lines are blurred.

    Good - let’s hope they all have red triangles above their heads. They were smiling in their tunnel and enjoying a communal meal - and literally weeks later half of them are dead.
    You attack and kill civilians - you don’t take care of your own people, then you are worthless.
