“I suspect they got word of a terrorist attack planned from there ??”

Ditto that. I find it difficult to understand how Israeli intelligence got blind sided by Hamas since their intelligence service is top notch. But, if they are attacking positions outside of Hamas territory, they definitely have good cause.

I would like them just to get on with it and try to put this to rest for another decade. Let’s go to war in the Middle East. Forget Ukraine. There can be no peace with these Baby Beheaders

Hamas and PLO hate each other as much as they both hate the Israelis.

Borrowing from Monty Python:



BRIAN: Are you the Palestinian People's Front?

REG: F___ off!

BRIAN: What?

REG: Palestinian People's Front. We're the People's Front of Palestine! Palestinian People's Front. Cawk.

FRANCIS: Wankers.

BRIAN: Can I... join your group?

REG: No. Piss off.

BRIAN: I didn't want to sell this stuff. It's only a job. I hate the Israelis as much as anybody.

PEOPLE'S FRONT OF PALESTINE: Shhhh. Shhhh. Shhh. Shh. Shhhh.

REG: Stumm.

JUDITH: Are you sure?

BRIAN: Oh, dead sure. I hate the Israelis already.

REG: Listen. If you wanted to join the P.F.P., you'd have to really hate the Israelis.

BRIAN: I do!

REG: Oh, yeah? How much?

BRIAN: A lot!

REG: Right. You're in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Israelis are the _______ Palestinian People's Front.

P.F.P.: Yeah...

JUDITH: Splitters.

P.F.P.: Splitters...

FRANCIS: And the Palestinian Popular People's Front.

P.F.P.: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters...

LORETTA: And the People's Front of Palestine.

P.F.P.: Yeah. Splitters. Splitters...

REG: What?

LORETTA: The People's Front of Palestine. Splitters.

REG: We're the People's Front of Palestine!

LORETTA: Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.

REG: People's Front! C-huh.

FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?

REG: He's over there.

P.F.P.: Splitter!

Genesis 33:

18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.

19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.

20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

Why? The West Bank was supposed to be relatively quiet.

There were hundreds of Gaza residents that had papers to work in Israel. They got stuck in Israel when Hamas invaded so they took refuge on the West Bank. That “might” be one reason. Maybe Israel is sending a message to the vermin who reside on the West Bank.

This was fodder for comedy at one time, now this is serious “debate.”

Murdering Jews and their children is more egregious than murdering Ukrainians and their children? Got it.

That would be my guess. Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, and the Abraham states may have let Israel know it is open season on the Palestinians . This eliminates a headache for them and isolates Iran, and Israel does the heavy lifting.

Ukraine is taking us for a ride. I wouldn’t be surprised if weapons we funded ended up in the hands of Iran/Hamas.

There used to be a movie “All’s Quiet on the Western Bank”. I never saw it.

The old word I recognized, the new I did not. Also, forgot where Joseph was buried.

Just because a person thinks the “war” in Ukraine is a crock, that does not make him or her a pusher of Russian propaganda.

Of all the Muslim communities I visited in Israel, Jericho was the most welcoming.
Mostly Bedouin when I was there in ‘98

The KGB created and funded the PLO. They used it for "divide and conquer" and it works causing nations and people to be at each others throats. Russia is detestable. So is Ukraines Nazi soldier battalions. Personally, I don't support either of them. What I do support is defending our border and Israel fighting muslims for their survival. However, I don't support any US physical engagement in the Middle East.

With the exception of Jericho, I was told by IDF to never leave the main road when driving thru the West Bank.
If your car breaks down, stay with the car and IDF will come to help.
Jericho was very safe but the rest...no.
