Gosh, why indeed?

The Hamas invasion was designed to shock Israelis through their pre-civilizational desecration of the bodies of the dead.
There have been plenty of terrorist attacks on Israel. A dozen or so conventional wars of various magnitude have been waged against the Jewish state. And more often there have been mixtures of both.
Yet never have hundreds of gangs of black-clad murderers carefully planned to swarm Israel, with an agenda to pull random Jews out of their homes and off the street, murder them, and toss their bodies in the street.
In fact, the closest parallel to the sort of methods Hamas is now embracing is something close to the Rwanda 1994 mass killing, when swarms of Hutu militia killers launched a preplanned murder spree against thousands of Tutsi civilians.
Note one common theme of these horrific videos of the murdering of young women: the bloodthirst of the Gaza crowd. There appears a natural desire of everyday Gazans to video the mutilations, an embrace of the spitting on the doomed, a frenzied effort to mutilate the dead—and the absence of a single Gazan objecting to the group murder of a civilian.
Hamas did not act out of the ordinary, but in sync with its people. In truth, there is something so terribly wrong in Gaza that the United States should keep as far away as it can from such barbarity—and hope that it too feels the same about America and keeps to itself.
So again why did Hamas mount such a long-planned and multifaceted assault on Israeli towns, public buildings, soldiers, and civilians?
The invasion was not so much a surprise attack, in the conventional Pearl Harbor sense, as a carefully calibrated land, sea, and ground effort at mass killing and hostage taking. It was designed to execute noncombatants...

I am surprised by the number of pro-islamic rallies here in the USA.

Pray Psalm 83.
the enemy is here already. only those who have studied real history understands what happens next. “YOU ain’t seen nothing yet!” applies.
There’s your problem in a nutshell. If there’s “something so terribly wrong in Gaza,” then I find myself wondering why the hell Israel would ever have border crossings there and allow entry to the country from that place.
IMHO, it’s time for Israel to respond with great force, accompanied by a commitment to recommit to being far tougher and more pro-active behind the scenes going forward.
No one calls them on their many outrageous statements or on their ghastly posturing, RIGHT in our Congress!!

Antifa will copy soon. Antifa are the disaffected children and grandchildren of boomers. Very dangerous. And they are armed and traiing.
Shouldn’t be they’ve been crossing the open border by the thousands during this administration.
Gosh, why indeed?
Remember the Hamas in the white house
You shouldn’t be. They have representatives in congress.
America is going Communist little by little and you’re surprised?
It seems kind of obvious that the US is likely positioning the carrier group near Israel not as so much an ally offering support and aid to Israel but as a signal that Israel will face US assets blocking any air strikes aimed at Iran. I would kind of assume Iran expects the US to do that.
Heinous mass murder of civilians, rocket barrages against people in their homes, hostage taking and brutal violence on a scale never seen. A thousand plus murdered.
Hamas is waging Dark-ages style war. Biden funded them with $1 billion plus $6 billion to Tehran to get things organized. The US is already involved.
The US Navy is not there to contain Hamas.
Carolyn Glick sort of gets into that in this video, which was worth watching, IMO.
A Very Somber Assessment by Caroline Glick From Israel
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/10/08/a-very-somber-assessment-by-caroline-glick-from-israel/
From Link:
Caroline Glick provides a somber rundown of what has happened in Israel, and starting at 06:00 of the video below, shares some pragmatic thoughts on the meaning of the war and the only way that it can end with Israel and its people safe.
Given the nature of what has been happening in Israeli politics, and the coordination Saturday in the Hamas attack, as Mrs. Glick aptly notes, all prior metrics for a regional Israeli control and defend policy has failed.
In very somber tones, Caroline Glick deconstructs the pretending model and cuts to the heart of the issue. Regardless of diplomatic costs, the strategic killing of every element of Hamas must begin immediately, with extreme prejudice and without regard for collateral damage.
Israel’s been doing the exact same thing as the US. They let tens of thousands of Palestinians into their country to work, just like we’re doing. Which is a false front and those insiders stage this attack. We’re in for the same exact thing in the United States
FJB actually gave them $16 billion - there’s another $10b somewhere that no one is or wants to talk about.
