Gaza live feeds

Looks like they still have power, for the moment.

We used to know that.

Like I said, the West has gotten a little too comfortable with sending troops far away and not feeling any consequences of war,

This is very true. I grew up hearing the stories of civilians (and military) on the other side of WW2. Death became so commonplace that people ignored dead bodies in the streets, fields, or wherever, because there just wasn't enough manpower to get them all. People were more worried about eating that day, or having clothes and fuel to make it through Winter. And not having bombs drop on their town.

I don't believe US citizens have experienced that since the civil war.

Circling back to an earlier part of the conversation:

I had no idea that Israel had cracked down that hard on private firearms ownership and carrying.

Wow. They were turning into a major American city... WE NEED GUN CONTROL! Well, not for criminals, but for citizens! It's logical, don't you know!

*expletive deleted*ing insane.

I'm with you. I thought Israel basically wanted all citizens to be armed and carrying all the time.

Safe to say your men aren't exactly following your instructions

If anyone believes this, they are a fool.  These scum have always targeted civilians.  There were doing exactly what they were ordered to do.

While I hope that Israel clears the Gaza Strip of all 2 legged vermin & expands their borders by that amount, I do hope they can do so without starting WWIII.

Does anyone actually care enough about these "Palestinians" to go to war over them? I mean a shooting war, not just strongly worded diplomatic statements?

Seeing as other nations in the ME won't take them in . . . I don't think so.

Israel has been pounding the absolute *expletive deleted*it out of Gaza the last 24 hours.

Unlike Hamas, Israel is issuing warnings ahead of their air strikes.

Wasted effort, if you ask me.

I hadn't heard the term "roof knocking" before, but apparently Israel has always done that in past conflicts there to give civilians, and in the case of the military targets hiding behind civilians, the terrorists as well, a chance to flee. It seems to be rarely talked about in our MSM, and I agree - wasted effort. In part, the amount of "collateral damage" falls on Hamas for hiding behind women and children.

This is one of the reasons that I've picked a side here. The Israelis create collateral damage because they have to. Hamas creates it because they want to.

I have heard of "roof knocking" in the past, I am kind of surprised they are doing it in this particular inning of the ongoing hostilities they have had with Hamas. Usually it was when they did one or two retaliatory air strikes or artillery rounds but this is a little more wholesale in the way of  air strikes. Doing 'roof knocks" before each one seems counter-productive.

Eventually, Israel is going to have to put boots on the ground and sweep the Gaza Strip from one end to the other, wiping out every Hamas militant -- which in effect should mean every male on the age of about 12. The more they allow to escape rocket attacks thanks to roof knocking, the more will be in the streets to resist the Israeli sweep and clear mission.

That comment shows a remarkable lack of understanding of urban warfare and "clearing" an area.

Slight tangent, but read the room Sulu. Takei is telling the Jews about how tough his people had it in WW2.  Coming from a member of the race whose officers dined on American POWs (among a host of other atrocities) during WW2.
