Lebanon would love hezbollah to take on Israel.

They've been a massive pain in their arses for a long time and were most likely responsible for the harbour explosion a while back

Hezbollah wouldn't last a week, IDF would turn themover faster than the US dismantled the republican guard in Iraq. Religious Zeal only gets you so far before you have lead introduced to your skull.

hold on, let me phone up my contact in US Military Inteligence to tell me the exact location all those tanks, APC and ordnance bins were rolling to as they were being offloaded the multiple C-17 Globemasters at the military end (LOD Airbase) of Ben Gurion Airport around over 10 years ago when I was landing at Tel Aviv which is around the time US were fully withdrawing from Iraq. Which as a stop off point makes no real sense as there are numerous Nato bases en route to the US that have air strips more than capable of handling ordance and military hardware transfers.

I have been working in Israel for months at a time every year since 2007 as my company HQ is there. You get to see very interesting things when you are parked on a runway at the far end of Ben Gurion Airport and you can be bothered to look out of the window.................

Undoubtedly some of it is probably what the US contracts to IL as part of their regular arms supplies as Shermans figure in the IDF's MBT lineups, also the US doesn't do a particularly good job of not plastering the US Army Star over all it's ordnance shipping crates. I would assume that regular shipments from arms manufacturers would not be covered in US Army livery unless it was being freighted directly out of a US base via another airbase e.g NATO airbase to a US Base or theatre. For Syrian operations they were running from bases likely in Izmir or Incirlik in Turkey and of course off carriers they had out in the Med as Israel is not technially a NATO member so running missions from IDF airbases is unlikely to be the norm although they do have Non NATO ally status.

Was supposed to be in Kfar Saba at the end of this Month for November and part of December but obviously not happening now. I would estimate its going to be at least untill next June before we are cleared to safely go back.

I'm pretty sure the videos I've seen of them murdering innocent civilians in cold blood and desecrating their bodies are real.

They don't need anyone else to dehumanise them....

They manage that all by themselves.

A few terrorists and their supporters does not represent all Palestinians, far from it. Most ordinary Palestinians are terrified and wish the cycle of violence would stop. The trouble is they can't leave and many will now be massacred by the Israeli military while being entirely innocent.

Egypt intelligence official says Israel ignored repeated warnings of ‘something big’

Cairo official says Israel focused on West Bank instead of Gaza; Egypt's spy chief said to warn PM of 'terrible operation,' Netanyahu denies it

Netanyahu said reports of this was fake news, not really wise to emulate Trump like langauge but who knows. Eygpt are not the only source of intelligence on those who observe the Gaza strip, they all seemingly are equally not adequate or up to task.

Where are they then?
 
I think if Hamas start killing hostages and posting the videos then Gaza will be removed.

Let us hope they don't try to cross the rubicon.

If my countrymen were singing praises to the atrocities I would speak up, yes.

You'd risk yourself and your entire family being persona non grata with people who chop heads off?

To be fair if enough people spoke up the critical mass would probably result in toppling these terrorists, but that's a very difficult thing to ask of individuals when there's no guarantee it'd work.

People see videos of some Arabs/Palestinians laughing about atrocities and extrapolate this as being representative of all Arabs/Palestinians, it really annoys me.

Such videos are propaganda designed to dehumanise ordinary civilians plain and simple.

The same goes for any polls coming out of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes claiming support for said regimes.

What evidence do you offer to the contrary? Was Hamas not *elected*?

What stops Hamas from hiding anywhere in Gaza?

thats the size of Gaza superimposed on London for size reference. Gaza has a population of around 2million+. Most of Gaza is in ruins already anyway, so the terrorists undoubtedly are hiding mixed in with civillians, basic maths probably dictates for every residential building you raze you probably took a few terrorists along with the countless non-terrorists. So if you are fine with chalking the non Hamas people down as collateral damage then I guess thats considered a fair trade off. Probably only becomes a problem if someone in the UN pipes up about possible genocide, which would get quickly silenced by the US anyway.

So to answer your question, nothing stops them, but mostly because there isn't exactly the land mass for it to be any other way, which is still no excuse for what Hamas are doing. Only way to get rid of Hamas is likely to bulldoze the whole of Gaza which is probably slated as Plan B or C for the IDF anyhow.
