| Israel Must Eradicate Hamas And Accept Nothing Less Than Unconditional Surrender |
| 2023-10-08 |
| [Federalist] The Western world awoke Saturday morning to war in Israel, images of Hamas terrorists slaughtering Israeli civilians in the streets, and Hamas rockets raining down on Israeli neighborhoods. Israeli families were (and, as of this writing, still are) fleeing for their lives. On social media, Hamas posted horrifying videos — a dead, naked Israeli woman being paraded through the streets, plainclothes Hamas fighters slitting the throats of civilians in their cars, and women and children being kidnapped and carried away to a fate worse than death. The situation is fluid and developing, and there will be much to say in the days and weeks to come — about the Biden administration’s shameful and reckless appeasement of Iran, about the failures of the Netanyahu government to anticipate the attack, about the complicity of the emirate regimes and what they deserve now. But one thing is immediately clear: Gaza will now be reduced to rubble. Israel, on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, is once again in a fight for its existence, and the gloves will come off. Given the long-established facts of the Israel-Palestinian question, this is as it should be. For all the talk about Nazis in Ukraine lately, the truth is that the real Nazis are in the Middle East, and they are all enemies of Israel. It’s time to deal with them for good. Hamas must be eradicated just as the Nazis were eradicated. Any end to this war that doesn’t achieve that will be a catastrophe for Israel. For its part, the U.S. should make clear that it will veto any U.N. ceasefire resolution before Israel declares victory. And an actual victory will require Israel seizing control of all Gaza’s territory and then going house to house, seizing every weapon and killing everyone who doesn’t surrender. The Israelis will have to keep this up until the unconditional surrender of Hamas. |

| #28 It would’ve interesting to see the heads of CIA, DOD and State troop up to Capitol Hill to go on record saying that no one in their department knew anything or helped the Palestinians. Under oath of course. |

| #27 49 Pan: There are remote locations other than Tehran to demonstrate Joooo Nukes . All of the IRGC facilities outside populace centers should cease to exist. Tomorrow. |

| #26 I remember the Palestinian celebrations of 9-11. This is another opportunity for all nations to choose to be sheep or goats. I think Tony Blinken has chosen to be a turducken. |

| #25 So the people are just useful tools. They mean little. Turn off the water or kill them and the world will turn against Israel. This IS a proxy war with Iran. Turn Teheran into rubble and it will end. The people living there will settle down. |

| #23 but I'm just working on getting people aboard in my party to immediately halt asylum procedures (and support) for anyone showing support for Hamas (as happened in Berlin yesterday). Bless you, European Conservative, and thank you. |

| #22 ^Deacon, it was in the morning (israel time). Hizbollah fired several mortars at empty hill and IDF replied with several 155 shells. Since then it was quiet. |

| #21 I was right. But this morning, a new wrinkle developed in the ongoing war. Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon. Rather than quickly moving toward any sort of ceasefire, the war appears to be expanding. And at the bottom of all of this, Iran is clearly either pulling the strings or at least providing a tacit endorsement of the attacks. |

| #20 Screw this "pray for peace", pray for victory. Go full Roman (see Hanibal) and salt the earth. |

| #19 I am quite sure there is a massive, subterranean set of surprises awaiting the IDF ground assault, potentially with lots of Western/US hardware from Afghan rout and the corrupt Uke's side market sales. The IDF problem is your need for speed to inflict massive destruction proportionate to the horrors endured before world opinion inevitably goes sour from bleating liberal media. And that sense of urgency will almost certainly translate into command driven urgency before clearing/intel ops are fully conducted. A kind of Hobson's Choice I'm afriad my friends! |

| #18 ^(a) They can't take over Gaza. (b) They remember the last war they had with Israel. |

| #17 I'm a bit surprised Hezbola hasn't stepped in. Maybe they are waiting for Israel to eradicate Hamas so they can then take control of Gaza. |

| #16 Time to end the Palestinian problem forever. Take Gaza and the rest of it, drive out/kill everyone and declare it part of Israel now and forever. There will be no 'return'. |

| #15 ^^^ Oh, I don't know. I guess overthrowing elected gum'ments in 1953 (BP sends its thanks) might have a thing or to related. |

| #14 iran declared war on the us in 1979. Why are we not punishing them? |

| #13 We have an election in Bavaria today but I'm just working on getting people aboard in my party to immediately halt asylum procedures (and support) for anyone showing support for Hamas (as happened in Berlin yesterday). With this government in Berlin, fat chance, but at least in Bavaria we will act. |

| #11 Ukraine crisis moved to back burner. The old Holstein was milked until she finally just fell over. |

| #10 Not to worry, the dreaded "Green Helmet Guy" will be deployed by Pallywood at the appropriate time, once again, parading little dead Palestinian girls to a complicit press who will then denounce Israel's "Disportioncate Response" and call for an immediate cease fire. It's what they do. |

| #9 /\ Pulling on tinfoil hat. Will this be the trigger which leads to the resolution of the Iran problem ? |

| #8 @ #3, I should've added: "Nukes will likely only be used on Iran" |

| #4 Unless other powers become involved, Israel has no need to use nuclear weapons. More traditional measure are now being taken. Israel suspends supply of electricity, fuel, and goods to Gaza |

| #3 Existential loss would lead to nukes. Nothing else would, I think |
| Posted by: Frank G 2023-10-08 08:38 |
| #2 I have to wonder, how long before ISRAEL sees the need to go nuke. Then IRAN/RUSSIA sees no reason or military obstacles in lighting up the area? Given the Biden Admins/LSD strong Antisemitic core, the Oval Office mental issues and the New Normal DOD. |
