John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Israeli Ambassador to the UN reports dozens of Americans are among the hostages taken be Hamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Let's see, Biden just traded 6 billion dollars for 5 US/Iranian citizens held by Iran so that Iran could finance Hamas and Hezbollah. Wonder how much he will pay Hamas for dozens of Americans held by Hamas? It's way past time to use the biggest Thermobaric bombs, that we have, to completely level Gaza with no warning. Have the Israeli's pull back to a safe distance to watch. It'll never happen though as it is against International Laws...you know...the ones that (evidently) only the US abide by.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It seems like American Contractors and Do-Gooders are adept at getting themselves into bad situations and then sniveling for someone to come rescue them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Joker Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It's been long enough that most of their neighbors don't remember not to poke. Are we headed for another Carter/Reagan kind of situation with Iran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this recent 1 hour old news source it sounds like they aren’t sure who the Americans are. Therefore, if they don’t know then no one has obviously communicated with them therefore how would you know they’re “sniveling for someone to rescue them”? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-attack-hostages-antony-blinken-michael-herzog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 This same news source says that this Hamas attack is Iranian led. It figures… From the article: "We suspect Iranian hands behind the scenes," Herzog said. "As far as we are concerned, this is an Iranian-led coalition and we suspect that Iran is involved." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-attack-hostages-antony-blinken-michael-herzog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 As of 12:15 AM EDT, at least nine (9) Americans killed and an unknown number hostages, according to Fox News. Israeli police trying to find and recover bodies of their own officers, killed in a police station! Rockets also coming in from Hezbollah in Lebanon!

Most Palestinians in Gaza are non-combatants. There are some American citizens, as well. The more barbaric the Israeli response, the more Hamas gains in the PR front. Like it or not, no war is all about military force. Especially so since WW II ended. Israel's strategy in Gaza so far has included issuing warnings to civilians to leave an area, then bombarding that area. The Hamas response to the Israeli warnings has been to persuade, deceive, or outright force Palestinian civilians to remain in the areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hamas response to the Israeli warnings has been to persuade, deceive, or outright force Palestinian civilians to remain in the areas. Most people in any conflict zone are non combatants. The problem with the Hamas group and others like them is that they see their own people as having zero value except as a means of thwarting a violent death for the actual fighters or being used as a political tool to influence the opinion of those not actually involved. The death of the civilians living there is of no importance whatsoever to the terrorist organization of Hamas. Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent CC a note but decided to make part of it public… CC, I’m doing my best to stay out of the Gaza thread and the typical responses of “nuke ‘em”, but your post was dead on. And as a student of history, I can’t take sides in a shit show that officially began in 1948 but which has been simmering for centuries. All parties have been pretty inhumane at times in the name of their respective higher powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
