people in the US "we need a REAL border wall, like israel's"
(cue curb music)
the coordination and success of this attack are frankly shocking. for years we've heard hamas are stone hurling cavemen with bottle rockets. they just hamstrung Israel.
that's on us. we are the only ones to blame, mainly our government and the latest legal reform that eventually seeped to the high ranks of the IDF, in it's worst forms.
Hamas was never incompetent, he was preparing this thing a long time ago and waited for the right time to move in, and probably kept it hush hush for it's high ranks only till the plan was several days before they invade.
we had our issues ( still do ) with a pretty shity government, shity politicians, key members in the government that advise on millitary issues without understanding one thing about it, etc..
as much as i think Bibi is one of the most intelligent politicians on the planet, his time to go was due, for several reasons but that's not the issue here.
1. the public opinion inside Israel has changed for good in regard of Gaza and the northern border. Hamas brutal attack, beheading victims, raping tourists and Israeli females etc raised the bar to the limit.
the northern border while far more dangerous, is also a threat the IDF will never accept nor do the state itself. it's only a question of timing, might be several days, might be another time.. but it will happen.
2. Gaza eventually is gonna be something like District 9 minus the aliens. they are going to live in cans. the rest of the details are really unimportant to the point, whice is - it won't remain the same, ever.
also a matter of time.
3. the most cliche thing to say is that you learn from those mistakes. so yeah, in this case.. we took it from behind and i don't remember seeing with my eyes such horrors since my service.
you learn BIG TIME from it, even Hamas was surprised of how bad the Israeli border was so exposed at the time they came.
4. Iran will always use proxy's and won't risk a direct war.
final thing - if our state in theory will be at a threat for our existence in this world, we have nukes. plenty. we dealt we a lot of stuff over the years, and we are still dealing with it and doing it fairly good.
the latest invasion will make us better.
