I think it's way to early to say this.

But not doing so would be in direct conflict with God's divine plan for the Jewish people. We'll see how much sway their far-right leaders have soon enough.

Some more on the Hamas leaders request for jihad on Friday

Granted.  My post was referring to the Isreali hit on the Gaza hospital.  That is the one that would require justification.  Given Hamas' track record, their bombing an Israeli hospital doesn't seem all that surprising.

That's just fucking lovely - we have a Jewish center in the area that I jog/bike by all the time, and they are just now somewhat recovering from an arson attack back in 2021 by some dipshit white supremacist from San Marcos.

And that's all I was making connections with after the post about Gaza striking a hospital with rockets.  Gaza hospitals have been hit too, but because they are Hamas hideouts.

I can’t help but think of the hostages. It’s not like Hamas has some kind of large scale detention facility. It’s been four days now. In the past, terrorists haven’t been able to keep themselves from assaulting and torturing Israeli captives. A lot of kidnappings of IDF troops started as negotiating for release and turned into bartering for a body. (It ain’t Guantanamo, I’m sad to say). 
 
When the emperor surrendered, Japan’s Unit 731 executed all the prisoners and fled. That is one scenario. 
 
Another is to collect the survivors and try to drive a grand bargain. (The number of survivors will be markedly lower than the number of abductees). 
 
Or maybe there will be both outcomes, carried out at dozens of sites. 
 
It is worrisome how little social media of the abductees is being issued.

It will have two stages- the first, while everyone determines what to do about the hostages (several are Americans). 

Wouldn't you just have to assume they are already dead?

I think the plan is to raze it and make it completely uninhabitable for Gazans, kick them out and make it part of Israel. Which would align with the stated goal of many of their far right leaders. 

Este.

I mean... I think that's unfortunately the strategic way of going about it if you're really trying to go scorched earth.

I haven't seen any reports of an Israeli hit on a hospital in Gaza.  Not saying it didn't happen, but neither of the tweets to which you referred mention such a strike.

Yeah, he shouldn't be piloting.

Air Canada confirmed it has taken a pilot out of service after he penned a number of disturbing posts following Hamas’ attacks on Israel over the weekend. Followers of Montreal-based First Officer Mostafa Ezzo reportedly complained directly to the airline after he posted a number of shocking statements including: “F*** you Israel, burn in hell” and describing Israel as a “terrorist state.” “Hitler is proud of you,” he wrote in another post

Again, as I said yesterday, there was a very weird move to try to discredit those reports when they came from a variety of international news sources that claimed to have seen the crimes.

Amazing to me that Hezbollah sees what is going on in Gaza and says "Yeah, we want some of that!"

 

They must have some mighty strong guarantees from Iran in order to do that.

Last time Israel went into Lebanon it was not pretty for them. Hard terrain and Hezbollah is quite well equipped.
