Should Israel launch a ground operation in Gaza?
- Thread starter fuji
- Start date
As certainly implied in the thread I started there are a great many ramifications to this: Will Egypt get involved, would this cause a revolution in Jordan (already the King has cancelled a scheduled overseas visit), if Egypt does not get involved would that trigger another revolution there, would Iran attempt to become even more involved (by the way the longer range missiles are of supplied by Iran). If it goes all in, will outside powers be drawn into the war.

December 21 is approaching.............
A ground war will provide no greater security for the Israelis .
It may satisfy the need to respond to the rocket attacks for domestic reasons but will play no role in altering the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians. Until the settlements are stopped and a serious attempt at peace is made no real change is possible. Hailey's comet may well return before this happens.
That both sides seem unable to break out of this cycle of violence shows how truly incapable of change we are.

Israelis can go in and topple Hamas if they wanted too, the problem is that they don't know who would replace them. They have so many factions in Gaza they can't get their shit together. Various Islamic Jihads , Al Queda these are completly irrational people that don't care to die and obviously don't care that they're killing Palestinian civilians. They know they can't win.... Palestinians are scared of Hamas and all these psychos.
Har, har, har. The only problem is that the current situation in the Middle East is nothing to laugh about.December 21 is approaching.............
A ground attack will just make it clear that Israel is running and responsible for the bantustan of Gaza.
There would be a lot of deaths and it won't make the situation any safer for anyone.
Today's stat.
In 2011 more Israeli's died from varicose veins then from Palestinian rocket attacks.
Bomb varicose veins, not people.

Today's stat:
Groggy and gryfin told more lies today than the rest of TERB combined.
Like this is news?A ground attack will just make it clear that Israel is running and responsible for the bantustan of Gaza.
Deaths, yes. But annihilating Hamas (and other supporters) would remove that threat.There would be a lot of deaths and it won't make the situation any safer for anyone.
I call you on that.Your opinion is useless.

Groggy and gryfin told more lies today than the rest of TERB combined.
Show me each and every lie you think I've told.
I was going to go withYour opinion is useless.

Today's stat:
Far more Palestinians dead in Syria than Gaza this year (and no comment from the clowns).
Wouldn't work for the PA. They have too many people in their factions that agree with hamas goals and will shit on their leadership whenever they seem close to Israel.If Israel could wipe out Hamas and then hand over to the P.A. might lead to something.
Who's laughing?Har, har, har. The only problem is that the current situation in the Middle East is nothing to laugh about.
I merely posted that because of the eerie feeling I got when I see things escalating and talk of other countries around the area, and then the world, being dragged into this mess.
Their strategy is to use air strikes to prepare for the ground operations, it's not one of the other, it's a multi point approach.No. Ground operations often fail against insurgencies. Helicopter special forces surgical strikes are a far better option.
West Bank has a better track record.Wouldn't work for the PA. They have too many people in their factions that agree with hamas goals and will shit on their leadership whenever they seem close to Israel.
for who...West Bank has a better track record.
