JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli airstrike has flattened a high-rise building in central Gaza City.

The 14-story Palestine Tower is home to dozens of families. But it also held offices connected to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups.

Israel gave inhabitants a 10-minute warning before it destroyed the building, which was evacuated. There were no injuries.

Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, promised a harsh response.

“Tel Aviv must stand on one foot and wait for our earth-shattering response,” he said.

You should see the reaction of the female Al Jazeera reporter when the building behind her is it.
It's not real till it's real.

Ah, the poor babies whining about an unprovoked attack on a civilian target.

It sure is a different story when you’re being attacked instead of doing the attacking, isn’t it?

On One Foot

“Tel Aviv must stand on one foot and wait for our earth-shattering response,”

The great Talmudic sage Hillel was born in Babylonia in the first century BCE. As a young man he came to the Holy Land to study Torah at the feet of the sages of Jerusalem. He was initially a very poor, but brilliant student, and became a famous Torah scholar and eventually the Nasi (president) of the Sanhedrin. He is often mentioned together with his colleague, Shammai, with whom he often disagreed on the interpretations of Torah law: Shammai often follows the stricter interpretation, whereas Hillel tended toward a more lenient understanding of the law. In the great majority of cases, his opinion prevailed. Hillel encouraged his disciples to follow the example of Aaron the High Priest to "love peace and pursue peace, love all G d's creations and bring them close to the Torah." Hillel was a very humble and patient man, and there are many stories that illustrate this.

One famous account in the Talmud (Shabbat 31a) tells about a gentile who wanted to convert to Judaism. This happened not infrequently, and this individual stated that he would accept Judaism only if a rabbi would teach him the entire Torah while he, the prospective convert, stood on one foot. First, he went to Shammai, who, insulted by this ridiculous request, threw him out of the house. The man did not give up and went to Hillel. This gentle sage accepted the challenge, and said:

"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation of this—go and study it!"

Bull doze the entire place. Not a building or stem of grss should be left standing.

Someone said here a few years ago offered a similar solution, suggesting every time there was an attack, just bulldoze 10 feet off their territory, they would either quit or cease to exist.

People like you are why this atrocity is happening today. You want them to fight barbarian savages with the Marquis of Queensbury rules. It’s a sure way to lose.

Same rule is applied to conservatives here and it for sure is a losing strategy.

That’s more warning than the first tower got on 9-11.

I was watching vids on X and saw a reporter live feed from Israel.

I just passed it by cause I didn’t know if it was old

Didn’t take long to realize it was in real time.

Trey Yingst name or something like that.

He was giving us a front row seat into the horrific terror.

Could tell how real it was to see his face/forehead was really stressed big time wrinkled.
Brave guy!

Yes.

The ten foot rule, would be very effective.

Bulldoze and move the wall/fence/border in 10 feet.

Nothing slanted in that piece-of-crap story. No wonder everyone thinks the AP is worthless.

I think the two videos in question, the one from today and the one from 2021, are simply two similar building.

The Iranians are behind this and they aren’t Arabs.

They may behind it, but Iran’s Solders did not invade and shoot the Rockets.
The ones that did the Dirty Work were Muslims. Comprehend?
