Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Israel starts their offensive

Enough is enough, Israel unleashes a can of Whoop Arse on ham's arse, hamas. Kick arse and take names Israel!

wish our prez had half the balls of Netanyahu.....

His are "taped up" for his boyfriend?

Like hunting rats within all the other trash at the city dump.

Probably lots of hunting going on, but not much killin'.

237 dead and over 1600 injured. Hate to see them really get offensive.

Ground troops will allow them to be more target specific than bombs and rockets, even of the "smart" variety.

Just read a report that said that the Israelis have targeted the hospitals and schools where Hamas has been hiding their arms and supplies. They have given warnings to every target well in advance and everyone left except one location where staff members(?) stayed behind. The Iraeli rockets hit the place and, evidently, the secondary explosions showed that there was quite a stash of weaponry in there.
The Egyptians have told the Palestinian people that they will help them but not Hamas, that Hamas has brought this down unpon themselves.
Abbas is on his way to Ankara, Turkey to try to get the Turks to quit undermining what the Eqyptians are trying to do, which is help Israel shut Hamas down for good. Turkey and Qatar are Hamas' biggest sponsors.

Israel has the the three necessary components of a good battle plan in place, including the end game, which is to drive Hamas into insignificance as a military threat, and then sit down at the table with Egypt as the mediator and talk about the Palestine question.

The annual Israeli equivalent of a rabbit drive.

Gaza will have to be pounded until the people turn on Hamas.

,...and then what?

good come back. Waiting for reply.

there won't be anyone left...

I am surprised Israel permits Gaza to exist in its current form. I wonder how feasible it would be for them to expel the Palestinian residents back to Egypt and possibly the West Bank?

The Egyptians don't want them. Never did, I don't think. They are not friendly.

I do have a solution, though: Jordan.

The West Bank Palestinians, too. Eject them all into Jordan. They won't like it, of course. The Jordanians won't like it, either. But since they will never be happy, ever, under any circumstances, I don't think it's such a bad idea.

fair question, but I gotta point out : Israel protects it's citizens from missiles, Hamas uses it's citizens to protect itself and it's missiles...justt say'n

The whole purpose of the war of 1970-71 in Jordan was to get rid of them.

Not at all. Jordan's King Hussein wanted to get rid of the PLO, and that's what the fighting was all about.



Jordan has about 8 million people, so nearly quarter of Jordan's population are Palestinians with Jordanian citizenship.

Edited to correct last paragraph.

You are a scholar. I thought more than the PLO was exiled.

The term Black September (Arabic: أيلول الأسود‎; aylūl al-aswad) refers to the Jordanian Civil War that began in September 1970 and ended in July of 1971. The conflict was fought between the two major components of the Jordanian population, the Palestinians represented by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) under the leadership of Yasser Arafat and the native Jordanians represented by the Jordanian Armed Forces under the leadership of King Hussein.[5] At its core the civil war sought to determine if Jordan would be ruled by the Palestine Liberation Organisation or the Hashemite Monarchy.[6] The war resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, the vast majority Palestinian.[3] Armed conflict ended with the expulsion of the PLO leadership and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon.

Too bad Arafat got away.

Israel got to do what they have too. I couldn't imagine the wrath that would befall Cuba if they started shooting rockets onto American soil.
