ExiledInIllinois Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Doc said: Then what precipitated the attack? "...The attacks by Hamas follow one of the deadliest periods in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in nearly two decades. The violence has been driven by frequent Israeli military raids in Palestinian towns and cities, which Israel has said are a necessary response to a rising number of attacks by Palestinian militants on Israelis. ..." And the MAGA people get their panties in a twist over government. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 11 minutes ago, ExiledInIllinois said: I read somewhere that they busted out and the Hamas commander told the people basically you got a gun, leave, this is chance at an historic day. Yikes! Boy, that was festering. "...Gaza is one of the most densely packed places in the world, an isolated coastal enclave of almost 2 million people crammed into 140 square miles. Governed by Hamas, the territory is largely cut off from the rest of the world by an Israeli blockade of Gaza’s land, air and sea dating back to 2007. Egypt controls Gaza’s southern border crossing, Rafah. Israel has placed heavy restrictions on the freedom of civilian movement and controls the importation of basic goods into the narrow coastal strip. ..." How could that have possibly been a plan? To keep 2 million people imprisoned for 16 years? Of all nations... Israel! What's happening now is truly horrific, the kind of pressure the people in Gaza have been put under though makes it feel as though Israel decided to huddle around a bomb. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like New Orleans before Katrina. 8 feet below sea level and the levees 10 feet to low. Yeah... I agree... What the ***** were they thinking. At least with a natural disaster it doesn't have a birth rate as a ticking time bomb! The kids rushing the border now were born there trapped. /smdh...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) You think Chicago is bad now? 😆 Just to put it into perspective. Gaza is 141 sq.miles. Chicago is 234 sq.miles. 16,000 people per square mile in Gaza. 12,000 in Chicago per square mile. Now... Imagine this. Holding the people in Chicago for 16 years with limited goods and services. And they share a border with Indiana which is basically Egypt🇪🇬 😆. You wanna live in Lake Forest, Illinois... OR Barrington... Have at it!

Process Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 You steal people's homes, their land, and enslave them in their own country for decades, where they, there parents, there grandparents, there great grand parents were born. Millions of people. What do you think is going to happen? People here are brainwashed. The idea that Israel is a peaceful country being attacked by terrorists is a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has more rights, Palestinians in Israel or Jews in the majority of the Middle East countries? The fact that you believe that Israel has to be pure of spirit to be the clearly freer country for minorities and in most every way that Americans hold dear is simply dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are correct with that middle millennia or so, if you want to count it😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 4 hours ago, Doc said: And if anything, I'd figure the subs preventing docking at those ports did it out of safety for the cruise passengers. So what's your take? You would be more in the know. Not sure. There is no reason to escort a cruise ship with a submarine. You can simply deny them port entry. End of story. Further, I'm not sure how a cruise ship gets to Jerusalem, but that's another issue. It would have to dock away from the city and have folks transported over land.

It would have to dock away from the city and have folks transported over land. Yes, we had to drive to Jerusalem in a bus. Kinda what they do on cruises. We made land in Haifa and they turned us around after clearing customs. What’s so difficult to comprehend? In whatever port we stopped to visit Jerusalem they turned us around before we hit customs. There were f’n missiles blowing up. It’s insane. so @sherpa do they have nuc subs in Israel? Pakistan? India? Iran? Korea? Australia ? Who did they buy them from? Should we want a rational, clever, stable prez to guide us? Geez this is real life “Risk”… Edited October 8, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
