Israel used 100 fighter jets last night. I don’t know the size comparisons (just checking online) but it seems that’s like the city of Houston having 100 fighter jets. Dayum!!!
Keep in mind that one fighter jet can wreak hundreds of millions in damage.

The City of Houston isn’t in danger of being invaded by Galveston, Sugarland and Katy.
Well, non-combatants, first thing. We hate it that Hamas hides among the normal peeps, but that is their MO and it works because most of the world will pick saving innocents over killing Hamas. I know, it is nuanced. I’m not advocating for a strategy, just voicing the conundrum.
What Hamas didn’t bank on was they gave Israel a reason to resolve the Palestinian issue. The Arabs that refer to themselves as Palestine have been a mentally ill society since Arafat. No one likes them and most Arab countries want them gone. They’re the reason no one in the middle east allows Palestinians into their countries. They don’t want to risk the infection. The good news is the people left in Gaza will be able to rebuild without a shred of Hamas to infect their politics.
If the living conditions in Gaza don’t massively improve or at the very least, Palestinians aren’t freely allowed to leave Gaza into Israel, then the cycle is just going to repeat.
Unfortunately, if Palestinians (who are largely a young and gullible population) are allowed to freely live in Israel, then Israel is at risk of terrorist attacks or revenge from radicalized Palestinians.

Hamas had 20 years to improve living conditions in Gaza. They spent that money on tunnels and weapons.
Setting aside humanitarian or ethical factors, it’s literally against the United States’ own interest to ever allow for any 2-state solution. Any solution (from the perspective of US interests) would have to overwhelmingly benefit Israel more than Palestine, which is exactly why a 2-state solution will never happen in the first place.
Bottom line - The United States, via Israel proxy, must remain an independent entity in that region in order to keep stability in the Middle East as well as maintain their own interests.
It really comes down to money and power. Everything else, including the religious components, is just the excuses that are made to justify Jewish homeland in Israel.
If the United States wants to remain the most dominant force (which it’s slowly losing that crown to China), Israel must remain as the extension of the USA in the Middle East, otherwise, China will take our place.
I agree with a lot being said. But I’d like to get back to 100 fighter jets in the sky. Recently one of the Ukrainian solders on the incursion into Russia said when asked about morale, “we weigh the reality on the ground against the Satanic buzz of the Russian skies.”
Russia might have had 10-15 Sukhois in the air at one time.
As a guy that likes to hear things go boom I marvel at what those Israeli jets might have sounded like. Can you imagine those all flying over TDECU for the pregame.Hold on to your foam hat!!
