    @basso

    Religion, land, tribalism and humans
    this ain’t going to end well or ever end.

    they already got land, but it won’t solve the tribalism and religion part

    what woke people don’t get is that the only country in that region that would tolerate them is Israel
    Not the Hamas and not the Iran

    It's not even tribalism or religion. It's about control. To control and subjugate is to have power, and attaining and maintaining power is a very powerful motivator.

    Israel may have to level Gaza completely, raze it to the ground and start over.

    Dude it’s religion
    Both groups think it’s ‘holy land’
    @basso
    @Xerobull

    reason why we need to colonize other planets etc
    They need to realize land is not holy
    It’s just land

    why else would you live there ? I’d rather live in Florida

    Israel needs to kill each and every one of those terrorists - and kidnappers, no mercy.

    There would be no starting over in that scenario. Two state solution is and has been dead for decades now, and a one state solution will never occur.

    Lol.. when did I say the $6 billion had anything to do with this? In fact I haven’t given any commentary on this because there’s so many unknowns right now.

    All I said is you have an insane infatuation with calling everyone that isn’t a Biden homer a maga fan. That’s just clearly not the case. Get off the internet for a while and go outside. You’ve clearly lost any sense of reality or maybe you never had any?

    What have other Islamic countries done? Any of them denounce this?

    Or are they silently supporting it?

    Yes I'm the one who's lost the sense of reality and not the morons who post conspiracies all day every day on the forums. I don't give a **** what your opinion of me is. You're part of the problem.

    I've never posted disinformation or conspiracies on these boards.

    You clearly have lost touch with reality since you decided to tag me in a post insinuating I’m making a statement on this something when I’ve made no such statement. Keep deflecting though! I hope you sleep well tonight knowing you’re full of **** only 50% of the time. ;):rolleyes:

    From CBS News:
    U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Sunday that he has ordered American military ships, including an aircraft carrier and additional aircraft, to move closer to the eastern Mediterranean in response to Hamas' unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel. Several U.S. citizens were among those killed in the attacks, a National Security Council spokesperson confirmed Sunday after Austin's announcement.

    "Today, in response to this Hamas attack on Israel, and following detailed discussions with President Biden, I have directed several steps to strengthen Department of Defense posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts," Austin said in a news release.

    The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group includes the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, which is the largest warship in the world, in addition to the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Normandy and four Arleigh-Burke-class guided missile destroyers — USS Thomas Hudner, USS Ramage, USS Carney and USS Roosevelt.

    The USS Gerald R. Ford was in the western Mediterranean when it received orders to deploy. Depending on its precise location, it could have to travel over a thousand miles.

    Austin also announced steps to augment U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft squadrons in the region. USAF aircraft are going into bases in the Middle East where they will be available for operations against Iran.

    The munitions the U.S. will be sending over are being airlifted.

    Austin spoke with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday "to express support for the people of Israel and to receive updates on Israel's operation to restore security and safety from Hamas' terrorist attack," Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement.

    Gallant and Austin will "remain in close contact in the days and weeks ahead," Ryder added.

    The announcement came shortly after the White House confirmed that President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke again Sunday morning. The two leaders discussed Hamas' taking of Israeli hostages, with Mr. Biden assuring Netanyahu that U.S. assistance for the Israel Defense Forces was on its way to Israel, with more to follow over the coming days.

    "The President emphasized that there is no justification whatsoever for terrorism, and all countries must stand united in the face of such brutal atrocities," the White House readout of the call said.

    "President Biden updated the Prime Minister on the intensive diplomatic engagement undertaken by the United States over the last 24 hours in support of Israel," the readout added.

    Austin confirmed that the first movement of U.S. security aid to the IDF will begin moving Sunday and arrive in the coming days.

    "My team and I will continue to be in close contact with our Israeli counterparts to ensure they have what they need to protect their citizens and defend themselves against these heinous terrorist attacks," Austin said.

    Israeli officials confirmed early Monday that over 700 Israeli civilians and members of the military had died since Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza early Saturday morning. Another 2,150 were wounded.

    Many Israelis, both civilians and security forces, have been taken hostage. Israeli ambassador Michael Herzog said on "Face the Nation" on Sunday he is under the impression that there were Americans taken hostage, but he didn't have details. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on "Face the Nation" that the U.S. investigating reports that Americans were among those taken hostage.

    There is not yet any serious planning for the evacuation of American citizens, U.S. officials said.

    The Gaza Ministry of Health said Sunday that 370 Palestinians have died and 2,200 were wounded.

    Wow, this type of mentality is scary but not exactly surprising. People of this ilk are exactly that cause of the current eras problems. They have little ability to analyze complex issues without a black and white lens. Really strange times we are living in. I do get the majority of people are idiots and most people like their news filtered for them like little children through their media feed, reinforcing their already morphed sense of reality based on their team. Cannot wait for AI to take over this world and force us to adapt to thinking at a higher level.

    As for this "war" it is really sad that it has come to this, but again not surprising. The people who pay the real price are the innocent on all sides. The institutional media and the military complex are not helping the escalation. Really need someone to bring stability but cannot see it happening without more bloodshed, mostly now going to be happening on the Palestinian side.

    This all happened when it seemed the like the Middle East was really making progress. I don't think the West and its allies can sustain Muti geographical conflicts with both Ukraine-Russia and the China cold war. But, I think this might be the new norm.
