Carpetbomb Gaza. It’s the only way. We are sick and tired of this nonsense every few months. For goodness sake, grow a backbone and put an end to it once and for all. Shabbos was quiet but we don’t trust any ceasefire. All it does is give them time to regroup.
Blowing up empty houses hasn’t done any good. Why are Jews so foolish to believe that becuase the IDF bombs empty buildings they are doing something. It is NOT anything.
Either get rid of the terrorists and families and supporters or let the IDF resign and maybe we can hire the Wagner group. They are not concerned with “innocent” civilians and they know how to KILL big.
Also if the IDF doesn’t go for the deep tunnels where the terrorists hide themselves and their missiles etc, then what good is the IDF doing? Go for their gut and do not accept a ceasefire. We want to destroy terrorists and only accept a surrender.
Don’t mess with Israel.
take out all the terrorists, Hamas as well. Start Tomorrow.
