Looks like we might be at the beginning of the ground invasion?
Two polls of 1k people this week say they want retribution, not huge pollsQuote:

A lot a running with a third poll that say 49% believe in holding off a ground invasion just now, 29% wanting a ground offensive now 22% undecided. But it's only 500 people that's why the same poll last week had 65% saying invasion now, the kind of swing you get with 500 people.
Another poll said the majority do not trust the government to deal with the problem which I think is the one your talking about, but that is more about Netanyahu
Even if against starting a ground invasion which is obviously different, I've not seen a poll that says they don't want retaliation or hamas destroyed or a ceasefire?
As for how they achieve it I suppose they will hope to mirror the destruction of isis. It was a semi state at one point held a third of Syria and 40% of Iraq. A coalition bombed all weapons and logistics hubs, all military vehicles, bombed a good part of the hierarchy, they retook Mosul and Raqqa the two main cities in a ground offensive. Isis lost 95% of its land in one year and then were basically destroyed
Honestly feel sick looking at the news this morning…then you have that absolute twonk Cleverley saying calls for a ceasefire won’t help the situation. I am disgusted by the elected officials in this country from both sides.
Now that it has begun, we can only hope they achieve their objective quickly and as few people as possible die.Quote:

Would you like to drive an aid truck into a country that's being carpet bombed?Quote:

Chris law was forced from the microphone for saying he has sympathy for both sides and that he backs a two state future. Harsh as he's been very pro Palestine and has called for a ceasefire and hit out at Israel

Egyptian PM again says he will refuse any refugees even with Israeli pressure as has been suggested. Taking refugees in is a red line he says.
There are understandable reasons to not take refugees in this situation when forcing the Palestinians out of Palestine is the goal.Quote:

He said along the lines of he doesn't want terrorism coming to his land after defeating it in the Sinai. Government official said on taking 1 million refugees “Well, I am going to send them to Europe. You care about human rights so much – well, you take them.”Quote:

Europe maybe should have taken the burden of finding a homeland in Europe for the Jews in the first place. Make no mistake though, the Egyptians hate the Palestinians as much as the Israelis. The people of Gaza have nowhere to go.Quote:

About 100 years too late for that. Every right minded person agrees that both Israel and Palestine deserve a free country in that land. Israel should be condemned and sanctioned like Russia if they keep stealing more land though, it obviously won't happen.Quote:

What does this mean in real terms though? Yemen is miles away from Israel so how does Iran leverage them in any way?Quote:

Iran completely supplies their army. A drone was just shot down in Israel fired from Yemen. Russia has shown what damage Iranian drones can doQuote:

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
God Almighty said (( There is no aggression except against the wrongdoers ))
"We targeted enemy (Israel) positions with ballistic missiles and drones... This is third operation in support of our brothers in #Palestine...We will continue to carry out more qualitative strikes with missiles & drones until #Israeli aggression stops"
The absolute destruction of Jabalia, targeted I don't ******g think so

Supported and encouraged. Shameful.Quote:
