Now I see why we have to log in for forum viewing.

Just another bad result of our stolen election. Where's Biden's money for the Israelis? The squad will want to send money to hamas.

Best of luck to Israel.

Nothing but a 'media war'.

The prediction, or should I say, the planned sequence of events is :-

Second last: The take-down of Israel.
Last: The take-down of MSM.

Which makes sense, as you still need the BS'ing MSM to feed normie with what they want to believe. Then once all targets are achieved (excuse the pun).. the shock on Normie's faces when they find out that it's all been nothing but a Truman Show for th elast 10 years or so.

Pharkit.. it's going to be something to behold
I've already booked my ringside seats.

1. Massive Israeli intelligence failure. The last time Israel was blind sided this badly was the '73 war. Though we should note Israel came out on top in that conflict 50 years ago.

2. The scope of this infiltration attack indicates a huge level of planning and preparation spanning months or years. Which underscores point #1.

3. The level of brutality already involved; confirmed executions of Israeli soldiers and civilians, parading the bodies of slain IDF personnel (including 1 female soldier), indiscriminate killing of Israeli civilians, etc will help set the tone for what follows.

4. Israeli declaration of war by the PM gives some indication of what we can expect from Israel by way of response. Also indicates the seriousness with which the government regards this attack/invasion. As does the IDF moving to a war footing and immediately recalling reserves.

5. Expect a significant degree of rally around the flag following this. Internal disputes will be put on the back burner for the time being. This is good news for Bibi.

6. The Israeli left's political influence will likely take a serious beating given their long standing conciliatory (by comparison) stance towards the Palestinians. Again, good news for the current center-right governing coalition.

7. Given the widespread support for the Palestinians being voiced by various Arab governments in the region - the progress of the Abraham Accords has suffered significant damage. How much remains to be seen.

8. I expect a significant Israeli response. Whatever it looks like, it will open with the air campaign we're already seeing the beginnings of. I currently regard future ground operations into Gaza by the IDF as highly likely.

9. While Iran supports numerous proxies & militias in the region, including Hamas & Hezbollah, and has openly praised this attack, it's not yet clear how involved Tehran is prepared to be. Some of their official rhetoric has been bellicose. What Hezbollah chooses to do in over the next few days or weeks may provide insight.

10. Which way Hezbollah jumps will have a major impact. Their involvement would create a two front problem for Israel and bring a significant number of additional enemy forces into the fight.

11. Several Arab nations, including Egypt, have made what could be construed as threats against Israel if the IDF were to launch punitive operations against Gaza in ways they deem disproportionate. Whether this is merely rhetoric or a genuine warning remains to be seen. From some nations, like Egypt, it's a threat Israel must take seriously.

^ This was my first thought when I heard about this massive attack on Israel, what about Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.
Egypt, Iraq, Saudi-Arabia was not in my mind.

I wonder how many of those American looking firearms Palestinians are dancing around in the streets with came from stocks our administration left in Afghanistan?

I admit I did not expect this.
But I am quite sure the weapons for Hamas are coming from Iran (not Afghanistan), and behind it all probably Putin. The worldwide destabilization is working for him.
