Pretty sure Israel's intended goal is to oust Hamas by force. Can't really do that in a truce./cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/OHKPUTT6SVIINPGQUTXQMLPF5A.jpg)

Well, this is it. I was thinking exactly that when I say, some guy dancing on a tank with his sandals on and screaming "allahu akbar". He was having his five minutes of victory and celebration, but within a few days he and all of his family would most likely be dead. What did he achieve?
Oh, I think they are going to march through Gaza killing everything that moves. I already heard one official saying they have no intention of taking prisoners.

I don't think it's possible. That place is incredibly crowded and there will most likely be a random mix of civilians, hostages and terrorists. All of which look the same.
They'll kill them anyway...
They're a bunch of savages, spitting on and beating dead and unconscious women taken from the concert whilst parading them around for everyone to abuse
Israel are probably just as bad at times, the world would be better off without the middle east tbh. Everything seems to be backwards over there and human life has no value or meaning to any of them.
God knows why anybody from a developed western nation would visit places like that... Go to a place which has been pretty much at war for 2000 years and then act surprised when their concert gets caught up in it. It's hardly surprising and the stupidity of it annoys me

This is why I have YouTube premium. No ads.
I'm coming from a place of ignorance on this but why does Jordan and Egypt get a pass when it comes to Palestine? They both gained ground that was going to be for Palestine, and haven't given it them back.
Gaza isn't locked in. Egypt has a border with them. Why can't Egypt open the border and help supply water and electricity, instead of having to rely on Israel?

I suspect Israel might have already written off the hostages, chances of any of them getting out alive must be very small.

So don't really expect to see this
FA will hold talks over whether to illuminate Wembley arch with the colours of Israel's flag during England's friendly against Australia amid concerns of a potential backlash following Hamas' terror attacks - FA are also considering staging a period of silence for victims on both sides
[how things change 2014
A pro-Palestine group projected the national flag on to the Houses of Parliament in London early this morning calling for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza.
... recent c4 ethnic cleansing video etc.

A pro-Palestine group projected the national flag on to the Houses of Parliament in London early this morning calling for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza.
The stunt was claimed by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which said it projected the flag, complete with slogans including 'Free Palestine', 'Sanctions Now' and 'Stop the massacre', in an attempt to put pressure on the British government to take action.
But their protest, which came in the early hours as America and the United Nations jointly announced a 72-hour ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, was condemned by British Jews, who called it 'offensive to the British public' and accused the PSC of being motivated by a 'hatred of Israel'.
Meanwhile an east London mayor raised the Palestinian flag above the town hall for the second time after the first one was allegedly stolen.

Uh oh. There are rumours that Egypt warned Israel about they attack, but they ignored the warning.

Unless there is a good source posting things like this is rather meaningless.
If Hamas uses humann shields many will die.
Israel is coming for Hamas. If Hamas thought they could hind behind human shields, I think they made a gross miscalculation this time.
Because everyone likes to hate on Israel. That's about it really.

I am sad to say that you are most likely right.

Decent source, In some respects it wouldn't be the biggest surprise it does feel generally that the Israeli military thought this kind of attack was beyond the capability of Hamas. Its also does no harm to Netanyahu's attempts to stay in power given his ongoing troubles.
