Ok, think through with me, this is actually pretty simple.
So historically when the middle east flairs up, there is a story or narrative to go with it. Something to bind the action together. Like any good action movie, even Rambo and Predator had a storyline that kept it together.
For some reason, all this conflict has is what, Hamas hate Israel??? And we're supposed to think that is justification for them to send hundreds/thousands on a suicide attack, knowing full well the backlash for such a thing?
Has anyone from Hammas stated what the objective was? Revenge for their leaders death? The death of his brother? Attack to release prisoners? Someone made a bad batch of Hummus? Anything?
Why would seemingly intelligent terrorist operatives perform a raid with crap for support, and no real objective other than suicide by lead poisoning and for their homeland to be glassed?
I mean yeah, Israel. But in my mind do they have to have a reason? Well yeah, actually. This isn't some craptastic phone app with lots of action, good graphics and no plot whatsoever. Makes no sense to me.
Has anyone release a video, like in the 80s and 90s? At least then they knew to release some sketchy dudes in the desert with AKs shooting a reporter, or saying scripted lines about infidels or capatilist pigs.
Its like their writers took the day off but the director still called for places, and then action.
Maybe they didn't want to recycle an old script, but also didn't want to wait for the writer's strike to be over and thought no one would notice or question it????
Thoughts? (please don't tell me they released a VHS and I just missed it)
Is this a joke? "All this story has is Hamas hates Israel". What the hell lmao.
Tell me you don't pay attention to the middle east without telling me you don't pay attention to the middle east.
Does the Israel/Palestine conflict not ring any bells? They're fighting over holy land. They fighting literally the oldest war in the world - a religious war.
This is precisely my point. Given the long hatred narrative, to all of a sudden attack like this is pointless without it having an objective, which has not been revealed/released.
You telling me the equivalent of a bunch of good 'ol boys on Oct 1 got together and said, "hey guys, wouldn't it be awesome to get some guns and dig a tunnel or three and get some paragliders and go mess with Israel on a suicide raid for sh*ts and giggles?"
At least u/SteveB had a plausible concept of messing with the SA treaty. You can't even give that, and resort to lame "suicide and instigating a clense of the Gaza because of ancient hatred?"
They dug tunnels? All I saw was videos of them blasting holes in fences with explosives. Blasts which the very sensitive (can detect a rat at two miles) Israeli security equipment failed to detect. Hmm.
I only have second hand info, so take as you will. My mom's decades old friend has a daughter over there, active IDF squad leader, so the story comes from that source.
They were on patrol with reinforcements (sounded like two squads, about 20 guys & gals) in their security sector and realized what was happening. Took up positions and nailed them as they came out.
It was a gang rush that ended up with a pile of 50 of em all around, and the IDF troops only had minor skuffs & bruises.
Really hard to get updates from on the ground. Their comms & internet are getting tons of interference and/or aredown most of the time so far.
And I agree with you. Some major shinnanigans going on over there. They have ground sensors too, specifically for tunnels. Should have known what was going on a long time ago.
yeah I would expect tunnels would be impossible to pull off undetected, due to those sensors.
The temple mount will be next. This is why they fight. This is definitely biblical.
At least that has legs. That is a good thought, maybe it is first wave, or a distraction to that goal? Good thought u/1Pissedofredhead
Saying this is just an extension of a holy war with the timing such as it is, however, with no other explanation, it just smacks of DS chinnanigans to get US foreign aid (aka: money laundering) moving again cause Resident Biden has another payment due.
The lost books say "The king of the north will unite with the king of the east. They will fight against the king of the south. The king of the west will be too war weary to aid their ally. Now we must use God's compass. Jerusalem is center. Who is directly north? Who is directly east? etc.. This is happening now.
