Let's have another war because it's fun to watch Muslim morons get killed.
Come back in 100 years. There will still be religious wars in the Middle East. Religions are good for nothing but never ending violence.

The Israeli aerial and artillery campaign has badly damaged Gaza’s infrastructure, including the fresh water and sewer systems, the electrical grid, hospitals, schools and roads. Many of the 230 people killed in the territory were civilians. More than 4,000 rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza since May 10, killing 12 people, mostly civilians. |

Muslims are scum. This Wall Street Journal article is about the terrorist organization Hamas.

REVIEW & OUTLOOK
Israel, Hamas, Iran and Biden
The U.S. needs to give Israel time to degrade the rocket threat.
By the Editorial Board
May 16, 2021
As the latest war between Hamas and Israel enters its second week, the narrative is following a familiar script. Hamas fires rockets at Israeli cities, Israel retaliates by bombing the source of the rockets in Gaza, Hamas plays up the civilian casualties, and the world leans on Israel to stop defending itself.
Let’s hope this isn’t the trap the Biden Administration falls into as the fighting continues. So far the White House has supported Israel’s right to self-defense. But the weekend bombing of a building in Gaza that housed media offices, including reporters from the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, has led to cries of outrage and an admonition from the State Department to Israel about protecting journalists in combat zones.
But who’s really endangering the journalists? Israel’s government says the multistory building was also used by Hamas for intelligence purposes. AP says it had no knowledge of this, but this wasn’t the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Using civilians and journalists as shields is a common Hamas tactic, and Hamas isn’t likely to have shared its plans with Western journalists.
Israel also warned the journalists and others in the building to clear out an hour before the attack. They did and there are no reports of casualties. This also let Hamas’s militants escape, but it shows how far Israel has gone in this conflict to avoid killing civilians. Inevitably there will be mistakes in war, and civilians will die, but it’s remarkable how discriminating Israel’s targeting has been.
The truth to keep in mind is that this conflict was started by Hamas and another radical outfit, Islamic Jihad. They are attempting to kill Israeli civilians with rockets supplied by Iran, or manufactured in Gaza with parts supplied by Iran. Hamas’s rocket arsenal is larger and more sophisticated than ever, and the Israel Defense Forces said that as of Sunday the Islamists had fired some 3,000 rockets into Israel. The miracle is that more Israelis haven’t died, and that’s due in large part to Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system.
Once Hamas starts one of these rocket offensives, Israel has an obligation to its own people to degrade the threat. This means attacking the underground tunnels where the weapons are made and stored. Israel wants to avoid a ground incursion, which would escalate the casualties on both sides, but that means its aerial assault needs to be aggressive and last long enough to do the job.
This is a political and military judgment for the Israeli government to make. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers are well aware that the diplomatic costs rise each day that bombing continues. But they can hardly stop as long as the rockets keep coming.
One of Iran’s obvious goals in encouraging Hamas’s rocket offensive is to blow up last year’s Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab states. The accords were the best opening for Jewish-Arab peace in decades, and they created a potential united front against Iran’s designs for regional dominance.
They also removed the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the center of Middle Eastern politics and as the main obstacle to larger regional cooperation. The Palestinians were forced to consider a new reality that might cause them to rethink their refusal to accept a reasonable two-state solution. But with the Trump Administration that midwifed the Abraham Accords gone, Hamas and Iran see a chance to return to the trend of the Obama years when U.S.-Israel relations frayed and Iran was on the march.
All of this should give the Biden Administration pause in its rush to court Iran and return to the failed 2015 nuclear agreement. That deal didn’t stop Iran’s weapons research, and it merely delayed the day it will be able to deploy a weapon. Meanwhile, it empowered Iran with more money to arm its regional proxies, including Hamas.
President Biden and his strategists think returning to the nuclear deal will help the U.S. disengage from the Middle East. As the Hamas-Israel conflict shows, it is more likely to do the opposite.

Israel will stop killing Muslim assholes when they're all dead, and that's a good thing.
New York Times
International pressure is growing on Israel and the Palestinian militants to halt their 10-day-old conflict.
President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — their second phone call in three days — telling the Israeli leader he “expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a cease-fire,” administration officials said.
After visiting Israeli military headquarters, Netanyahu said he was “determined to continue this operation until its aim is met.” A senior Hamas official said that he expected a cease-fire agreement within a day or two, while Israeli media has reported that Israeli officials do not expect the bombing to stop until Friday at the earliest.
France and Germany, strong allies of Israel that had initially held back from pressuring Netanyahu, also intensified their push for a cease-fire.
At least 227 people in Gaza have been killed, including 64 children, by Israeli airstrikes. Rockets fired from Gaza have killed at least 12 people in Israel.

Are there any Muslim assholes who don't call themselves "Mohammed"? Muslims, besides their love for killing people, are just plain fucking stupid.
BBC News
Israel's army says it has targeted the head of Hamas's military wing, Mohammed Deif, during the ongoing strikes on Gaza.
A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Brig Gen Hidai Zilberman, said Israel had tried to assassinate Deif, the head of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades.
Deif, who has been on the Israeli army's most-wanted list for over two decades, has survived repeated attempts on his life over the years, including in the last major conflict in 2014.
Israeli news website Ynet reported that in one of the operations, Deif had been in his bunker when Israel hit the location.
He tends to stay in the background and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Hamas has not confirmed the reports.

Washington Post: Muslim morons in Lebanon sent rockets to Israel but they "failed to even enter Israeli territory". The stupid, it burns.
Rocket fire from Lebanon joins ongoing Israel, Hamas battles
The projectiles failed to even enter Israeli territory, and Israeli artillery immediately responded, but it raises the specter of a new front opening in the conflict.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••This is from The Times of Israel.
Six rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel late Monday, but they apparently fell short of the border fence. The military said it responded with artillery fire.
The rockets triggered warning sirens in some communities near the border. The army later ordered communities within four kilometers (2.5 miles) of the northern border to open bomb shelters.
There were no injuries reported.
A Lebanese military source confirmed to AFP that several Grad-type rockets had been fired from the Shebaa Farms area in southern Lebanon toward Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces believed that a small Palestinian faction — not the Hezbollah terror group — was responsible for the attack, military spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said on Tuesday morning.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Netanyahu wants to put an end to it. He will keep bombing their rockets and tunnels. And if more Muslim scum are killed, that's a good thing.

BREAKING NEWS |
President Biden expressed support for a cease-fire in a call with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, but fell short of demanding an immediate end to the violence. |
Monday, May 17, 2021 6:15 PM EST |
The Biden administration had previously avoided the use of the term “cease-fire,” with top officials like Secretary of State Antony Blinken talking instead about the need for a “sustainable calm” and others talking about the need for “restraint.” While a cease-fire would be welcomed by the White House, Mr. Netanyahu has in recent days made clear that he intended to continue Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza until it has destroyed Hamas’s stockpile of rockets, launchers, and the tunnels from which Hamas fighters are operating. |

In addition to the Israeli airstrike, Hamas militants aimed another round of rockets at Tel Aviv as the worst violence between Israel and Palestinians in seven years intensified. The attacks occurred after a senior American envoy, Hady Amr, arrived in Jerusalem to help broker a cease-fire. Mr. Amr, the United States deputy assistant secretary of state for Israel and Palestinian affairs, was scheduled to meet with senior Israeli and Palestinian officials in Jerusalem and the West Bank. |

Israel sent its military into Gaza, a major escalation. It was not immediately clear if it was a limited bid to destroy rocket bases or kill Hamas leaders. |
Thursday, May 13, 2021 6:00 PM EST |
The news was announced by the Israeli Defense Forces in a one-line tweet. An Israeli military spokesman, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, confirmed that “There are ground troops attacking in Gaza, together with air forces as well.” |

New York Times: An Israeli military official said three infantry brigades were “preparing for a worst-case scenario,” confirming that a ground invasion of Gaza could follow the bombardment from the air.
Hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians worsened with mob violence between Jews and Arabs in Israeli cities while rockets and missiles streaked overhead. |
Israel claimed the assassinations of senior Hamas militants and pounded both military and residential areas across Gaza. The militants have fired more than 1,000 rockets aimed at cities across central and southern Israel. Above, a building in central Gaza was leveled to the ground after an Israeli air raid today. |
An Israeli military official said three infantry brigades were “preparing for a worst-case scenario,” confirming that a ground invasion of Gaza could follow the bombardment from the air. |
But the most shocking developments occurred on the streets of Israel, as rival Jewish and Arab mobs attacked cars, shops and people in several cities, leaving some fearing that the decades-old Israel-Palestinian conflict was heading into new territory. |
More than 50 Palestinians including at least 14 children have been killed, according to Gaza health authorities, and in Israel the death toll reached at least seven people including a 6-year-old. A U.S. envoy is heading to the region to urge calm. Airlines in the U.S. have started to cancel flights to Israel. |
