Is Israel Finally Going to Face the Vaunted Hamas Military in Open Battle? [COB6]
I realize fully that this could be the stupidest question ever but this is apparently the angle that the MSM is poised to take.
The idea that Israeli ground troops are about to enter Gaza is nothing new and this report from the UK Times online starts fairly good:
Israel is poised to launch a major ground offensive into Gaza tonight after allowing hundreds of foreigners living in the devastated territory to evacuate.
After a week of air strikes that have killed at least 420 Palestinians and left scores of buildings in rubble, the Israeli army was set to fling hundreds of troops and tanks into a blitz to stamp out Hamas’s military wing, The Times understands.
Despite the looming onslaught, more Hamas rockets – which have so far killed four Israelis – were fired into southern Israel today.
Then the shark is jumped and rather quickly. The Times author decides to build the drama by quoting some savage terrorist who was giving a eulogy at the funeral of the last terrorist who was thoroughly ventilated by the Israelis.
“I call on the resistance to continue pounding Jewish settlements and cities,” said Sheikh Abdelrahman al-Jamal at the funeral of a hardline Hamas political leader killed, together with his four wives and 11 children, in an Israeli air strike on his home.
“We will remain on the path of jihad until the end of days.”
But then the grand prize for idiot reporting comes later in the article:
Hamas’s military wing has been waiting for a ground offensive to face the Israeli army in open combat, despite Israel’s vast military superiority.
Does anybody with a spoonful of gray matter believe that the Hamas thugs have been anticipating, with gritted teeth and steeled resolve, an open combat with the Israeli Army? If you believe that, you are a retard.
When is the last time an Israeli or US soldier was captured wearing women’s clothing surrounded by children? I can’t think of a single occurrence of such battlefield cowardice while I can think of many such occurances from the savage followers of the fake religion of the pedophile murderer.
Hamas will not face Israel in open combat as every time since 1948 an Arab force has been foolish enough to do so wound up in a humilating defeat. Hamas is and has always been a cowardly terror organization. The overwhelming cultural weakness in manliness in the arab world is astounding. The fact that these seventh century idiots can not possibly stand up to any western power hasn’t hampered their ability to lure more and more intellectual midgets into their ranks. Sadly most of these folks will die for nothing. There are no 72 virgins morons; you are just dead.
Having said all that, I must confess that I truly wish that they would organize and face Israel in “open combat” for this would result in the absolute destruction of Hamas and that would be fun to watch.
My advice to the IDF: Don’t take prisoners, kill all of these savages. Trust me, after your election and our future CinC takes office the prisoners will all be released for nothing and they will come back and try to kill your children.

It would make life a lot easier if they’d just walk out into the open and fight, but that is not going to happen. Pity.
The WHY? of Terrorism in Islam… (and Hamas) When it comes to dealing with Hamas (other than with bullets and bombs) Israel has no other choices. Let me explain. I am an American living in Asia. I am not Moslem, but I am a writer and historian. I would like to share some information with you: information concerning Moslem violence and terrorism, and why the United States and its military allies must both continue to be vigilant, and when appropriate, respond to individual acts of violent Islamic terrorism with relentless, overwhelming, and deadly force, while at the same time, practicing moderation, restraint, and understanding when dealing with moderate Moslems. This information may help you understand what is going on not only in Israel and the entire Middle East as well as India, Pakistan, and China, along with other parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, and (soon) even the United States. In the not too distant future, Moslem extremists hope to involve you and your loved ones, as well as a vast number of other innocent victims in a man-made catastrophe: an organized and violent calamity of biblical proportions that is based on teachings that were deliberately added to the Koran, decades after the faith was founded. Disregarding the social, economic, and political factors that serve as underpinnings for Islamic terrorism, I will address the more fundamental issue: the religious teachings that sanction violence against non-Moslems and AGAINST ALL WOMEN. Here are seven verses from the Koran. These scriptures have been translated into modern English. …murder, crucify, or cut off the hands and feet of non-Moslems…Chapter 5 Verse 33 – The Koran …create terror in the hearts of non-Moslems …cut off their heads…Chapter 8 Verse 12 – The Koran …and fight non-Moslems until Allah’s religion is the only one…Chapter 8 Verse 39 – The Koran …of all the loot you plunder from non-Moslems, 20% belongs to Allah and to Mohammed. Chapter 8 Verse 41- The Koran (Author’s note: Loot included kidnapped female sex-slaves.) …Take as many as four wives from the women you are sexually attracted to … Chapter 4 Verse 3… Read more »
Just because I have to and having nothing to do with politically taking one side or the other…
I do believe dressing soldiers in women’s clothing to avoid capture is kind of a time honored tradition.

But hey, let’s get a little more modern. When was the last time an Israeli or US soldier dressed up as a woman to get something tactical done?
That would be 1973, Ehud Barak, prime minister of….where was it…oh yeah, Israel, who dressed up as a woman in a brunette wig and blue eyeshadow in order to kill top PLO officials.

I’m just saying. I don’t have the time to dig through my military history books and find every single famous soldier or civilian leader who dressed as a woman, but it was a pretty common ploy.
COB6 Wrote: These are all valid points to one part of the question but completely ignores the whole question: wearing women’s clothing surrounded by children?
I don’t think Jefferson Davis or Ehud Barak ever fired missiles on a civilian population and scurried away dressed as women surrounded by a dozen women and children.
COB6: I’m just saying there are completely legitimate things to hit these guys on, you don’t even need to bring those sort of things up. The proper point of is or should be that targeting civilians is reprehensible, the rest is just cheap-shot type stuff. And that’s on all sides-I’d call out Hamas as well as I would the Israelis. It’s moral vice strategic. Do I understand what the Israelis are doing strategically? Sure. I wouldn’t take Krav Maga if I didn’t understand the mentality of striking hard, fast, and vicious so that the other person cannot strike you again. But it’s still morally dubious. However, I think we’re going to see that kind of behavior until at least the last of the Holocaust generation is gone. It does a certain something to you to see horror like that.
The new question to ask is:
WWOD?
What Would Obama Do?
I prefer WWPD…
What Would Patton Do?
