Update, Death toll and hostage taking, including Americans, increase
Just The News is reporting:
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza launched a stunning attack against Israel on Saturday with rockets and ground forces, inflicting significant casualties and prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare “we are at war.”
At least 40 people were reported killed in the initial volley as Hamas forces focused on southern and central Israel, and infiltrated the town of Sderot, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
”We are at war,” Netanyahu declared in a televised address. “Not an ‘operation,’ not a ‘round,’ but at war.”
“The enemy will pay an unprecedented price,” he added, promising that Israel would “return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known.”
CNN is reporting that Hamas, which controls Gaza, claimed 5,000 rockets have been fired in the first hours of the attack in what Hamas is calling an “Al-Aqsa Storm," and that sirens have gone off in Jerusalem, where they’ve heard rocket-warning sirens and booms, indicating the interception of incoming rockets.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was headed to Tel Aviv to meet with other security chiefs and with Netanyahu. The Israel Defense Forces said it was moving to a “state of war readiness.”
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi was assessing the situation and approving plans of action.
“Hamas… which is behind this attack, will bear the results and responsibility for the events,” the IDF said.

I don't think the narrative is false, You may not hate Jews but the feelings of the far right are well documented. I will say that killing is the last resort of the weak and or desperate. In this instance more killing is inevitable. All I'm saying is stay calm and work for peace.
Btw you speak of the lefts narrative. You parrot the right. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. |

We need to tell Hamas that for every American they have kidnapped who dies, there will be one bomb load from a B-52 carpet bombed on Gaza. Of course, that worthless Biden does not have the 'nads to do that.

Bigot Bob does not get it. He keeps pushing a false narrative of the left about conservatives and Jews. In fact, it is the left that hates Jews through their hatred of Israel, and it does not matter whether it is the left or the right that is running Israel's government at any given time.
Take totalitarian globalist Soros, who was born into a Jewish family but has been an atheist for years, and the contributions of both George and his son of the maximum allowed by law to the campaign of the most rabidly anti-Israel leftwinger in Congress. I guess that sort of fits with George's time as a youth in World War II Hungary when he was a Nazi collaborator. |

Nope, just reality. When things get difficult, weak men turn to violence.

Big Bob: I get how you hate all of America not Leftist; you have made your point quite well; all things political, all things Leftist, all the time.
It is as though you are married to the Political Left, making an outstanding argument for No Fault Divorce. |

I still think it odd that trump supporters, generally speaking, don’t like Jews but Israel can do no wrong. Make no mistake, dictators like Putin, Netanyahu and Trump will bring death and destruction to all.

President Trump has called on Hamas to be CRUSHED, and he is spot on!
www.dailymail.co.uk There are disturbing reports that US weapons left behind in Afghanistan by the cowardly Biden pullout are turning up in the hands of Hamas. |

That is true of conservatives abroad as well. There were members of the Jewish religion involved in the conservative political parties of Wilhelmine Germany as well as Weimar Germany. If you have ever been to a German World War I cemetery (I have), one of the things that stands out is all of the Stars of David interspersed with the crosses on the soldiers graves. It was only Hitler's warped brand of socialism that contained animosity toward the Jews. And who could forget Benjamin Disraeli, founder of the modern Conservative Party in the UK.
We can even look to the War Between the States, where the most prominent member of the Jewish faith involved in that war was Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana, who served throughout the war in President Jefferson Davis' cabinet, successively as Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Secretary of War in the Confederate government.
The modern left's narrative about conservatives and Jews is built around one man, George Soros, who was born in a Jewish family but has not been a Jew in years. He is an atheist. He also was not much of a loyal Jew even in his youth because he was an admitted Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary in World War II. Soros funding of the far left all over the world would make him a major enemy of conservatives regardless of his religion or lack thereof.
