Middle East Conflict

[Tim of the Oak]

Terrifying for villagers. Reports of villagers locking themselves in safe rooms with militants laying siege to their houses.

The scale of the violence will probably result in Israel recalling special forces units from around the region immediately.

Them hostages are fucked awful to see the fear in their eyes, hamas are filming everything including the killing of civilians there is no chance they return the hostages.

It depends if some of them want to live. If the hostages aren’t returned that will be the end of Hamas. Not necessarily overnight but the Israelis will never let this go.

Going to be a bloodbath...and I think to myself what a wonderful world

Religion.......it stinks.

More wars fought over it the last two thousand years than anything else.

wtf is wrong with people?

 

[splinter]

We will destroy ourselves

Desperate people forced into doing desperate things.

Arguably it’s the biggest terrorist attack since 9/11. Many of the hostages will unfortunately be slaughtered although Hamas has stated they are POW not that they will uphold the Geneva convention. Watching young children holding guns celebrating murder is truly sickening.

Desperate people forced into doing desperate things.

Absolute bollocks.

They wanted a war and they’ve got one now.

 

[inbetween]

The retaliation on this is going to be huge, this is the largest escalation in decades.

Absolute bollocks.

They wanted a war and they’ve got one now.

The deaths on the Palestinian side will be huge, the Hamas leaders don't mind throwing their own people under the bus as collateral damage to make Israel look heavy handed.
