    In all honesty, I don’t think Israel has the manpower to completely wipe out Hamas even if they wanted to, unless they kill or expulse all Gazans. Gaza has plenty of places to hide, even moreso nowadays with all the rubble, and they have guaranteed that even the Palestinians who for one reason hated Hamas will now hate the IDF even more.

    When Israel declares that they have completely wiped out Hamas in a specific area, then Hamas immediately attacks them back from the zone they had supposedly been wiped out from, it’s difficult to explain it with anything other than incapability, because you’re setting up a situation where your own population is going to distrust what you tell them.

    Netanyahu is incredibly lucky to have the US support him no matter what he does.

      Huh, it’s almost like conscript armies are shit at their job.

      I realize that sounds like sarcasm aimed at you, SuddenDownpour, but it isn’t meant that way.
