They should never have left.


Israel’s government approved a plan on Sunday to conquer and occupy the Gaza Strip, a major expansion of its military campaign there and a sign that the war is far from ending.

The plan passed unanimously in Israel’s cabinet despite warnings by the country’s military chief that it will endanger the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas. It will also trigger an extensive call-up of military reservists, many of whom have already served for extended periods during the war.

They should have done this many years ago. They need to take it over, and make it permanent. In the long run, many lives will be saved.

Israel plans to capture entire Gaza Strip, officials say, as tens of thousands of reservists called up​

May 5, 2025 / 10:10 AM EDT / CBS/AP



Israel's government approved plans on Monday for its forces to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials told The Associated Press. The plans appear set to vastly expand Israel's operations in the war-torn Palestinian territory, and they're likely to bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, just after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers for an expanded assault on the strip.

The news came hours after a Sunday Houthi missile strike targeted Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport for the first time since the war began, briefly halting flights and lightly wounding four people. Israeli officials quickly vowed to respond.

Ah yes, military aggression and genocide, all in the name of religion, because 'the bible' told them so. Sick puppies those Zionists. Ain't it great they rule our country?

 

[Godboy]

I mean, whats the alternative? Wait a couple years for more rockets to be built, more tunnels to be dug, more October 7th's? They would have to be complete retards to continue that cycle, especially now that they have seized total control of Gaza.

Let the jews turn it into a paradise, or give it to Trump. Gaza would be a fine spot for a luxury American owned golf course.

UN had its chance, as usual they were on the terrorists side instead of being impartial

Jews dont follow the bible.

Jews dont follow the bible.

No, they call the Old Testament part of the Christian bible the 'torah', and in Deuteronomy 7 'the lord' commands the Jews to kill others and take their land. Many Christians today have been raised on the Scofield bible, commissioned by Zionists a century ago.

Then they have the Talmud, another "holy" book. Those holy magic books belonging to all religions have been the foundations for war and murder since way back when.

It's almost as if the Gazans did something truly awful, something terrible that their defenders want to minimize or outright ignore.

I know that's a long story, but you do not. You believe what the Israeli propagandists promote, and ask no questions. You embrace torture, rape and pillage in the name of a religion, and ask no questions.

In this case, military occupation may prevent genocide.

I hate to tell you this, but your foil helmet does NOT give you mindreading abilities, no matter what the comic book says.

Exactly. If Mexico started shooting rockets into our country, attacking and murdering our people, would America sit back and let it happen?
Look at Japan for instance, at the end of WWII we ruled Japan until 1952. There's no way we would tolerate a country, especially one we share a border with, attacking us. We would take it over, and occupy it until we were satisfied, they no longer posed a threat to us. Israel needs to do the same thing.

Israel is the only country on earth facing demands that it must allow its citizens to be slaughtered without any response. No other country faces those demands.

Oh yes, war will solve many things, especially dwindling profits for war profiteers.

It was an obvious failed attempt to give those people their land.

They will do nothing but dig tunnels and lob rockets into Israel.

Pretty sure Scofield Bible covers that. ...oooops

Gaza, then the West Bank.

Yes, you're probably right. The bulk of US Christians have been sucking on the Scofield tit for many generations, about a century.
