-1. He's gonna beat him in the next primary

When is it ?

[Ergel]

When is it ?

Whenever this government disbands (AKA sooner rather than later)

Dont most Israelis want him to continue the offensive ?

[meshugener]

-1. He's gonna beat him in the next primary

But still a smart move by Netanyahu.
Reminds me of Obama forcing General McChrystal to resign.

A leader has to show authority and respect, especially in time of war.

30 y/o chabad chasid giving out candies and food to soldiers at Erez border crossing BDE

Not a Chabad Chassid,

The victim was named as 37-year-old Dror Chanin of Beit Aryeh who was at the IDF Base giving food and Chizuk to the soldiers stationed there.

Not a Chabad Chassid, 

My neighbor is on a Whatsapp group with soldiers and EMTs that were there and he told me that.

I guess for some reason when people hear he was there giving Chizzuk to the soldiers they just assume he's a Chabadnik?

How is it that after a week of the IDF bombing Hamas they are still able to shoot 141 rockets today?

They had a long time to stock up. Since the last round

[alpicone]

They had a long time to stock up. Since the last round

But if they already destroyed an estimated 20% of their stock and a significant number of their rocket launchers, shouldn't their ability to shoot rockets get reduced as well?

If not what would be the point of stopping now if they are still capable of what they were capable of doing 10 days ago?

[Emkay]

But if they already destroyed an estimated 20% of their stock

where is that number from?

[ilherman]

This whole operation does not make any sense to me. They bombed SO MANY places already and the rocket launchers still go on like nothing happened!!! The PM keeps on saying, we will continue the operation even stronger, but I don't see any physical results. Unfortunately Danny Danon is right.

מחאה נגד תוקפנות החמאס:

מאות אלפי יהודים ברחבי העולם שובתים היום רעב, מזריחת החמה ועד שקיעתה.

באם לא תיפסק הרצחנות צפויה שביתת רעב נוספת בעוד שלושה שבועות, שתימשך זמן כפול - מליל ועד ליל

[alpicone]

where is that number from?

"Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said the military estimated 20 percent of the rockets in Gaza have either been fired or destroyed by Israel. Besides diminishing Hamas' future capabilities, he said Israel's assaults were mostly aimed at convincing Hamas never to try it again."

They are bombing empty buildings or homes. They are not bombing "Hamas infrastructure" there is no such thing! How is bombing houses a deterrent against terrorists? This aint working.

Which planet is he from ? They'll always try it again.
