Now let's see the action in the same spirit.
Israel needs to make a request. There should be a joint action to try and get the hostages back.

Thread was merged with an older thread on this topic, when they were merged SMF moved it to politics. Just an oversight and fixed.
Is it possible to split this thread into 2?
One for just news/facts and a second for opinions and conversation on the topic.
I’m just suggesting this, as I personally would rather just facts at this point without all the commentary

Israel acting with pride is the *only* way they can eliminate the threat.

Boasting כחי ועצם ידי didn't take them too far, well they gotta boast even more.

At this point I don't see israel negotiating for release. I think their plan of action will be to try and rescue as many as possible and unfortunately many will end up as casualties.

The image of these children being held hostage did something to me emotionally that is indescribable :-[ hashem yishmor!.

Over 150,000 votes cast in Twitter poll in Arabic.
87% support the Hamas attacks on Israel.
Despicable.

I am thinking Jimmy Carter 1980 with hopefully a positive result.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri) criticized US foreign policy in her statement over the attacks, insisting in order to achieve peace in the region, the US needs to end its “support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid.”

Just for a little bit of light humor. Saw this on a news article listing all the countries with their stance on the attacks, somehow they did not seem to think of the irony when posting this..

Any Chance Israel Attacks Iran? Would likely need Biden's blessing first?
While by default we all think that Iran was behind this (and this might very well be the case) I believe that Israeli intelligence would have picked it up with all these foreign parties involved... Unless the IDF is really just an army on paper the only other explanation would be that this was planned by people inside Gaza, without any electronic communication etc.

The question still remains why Israel was not prepared to immediately respond but maybe you could understand why it was not picked up by Israeli intelligence in advance...

Even without electronic communication, there had to have been a ton of physical communication between 1000+ people that you would think is impossible for human intelligence to miss.

I'm seeing messages on WhatsApp from Israeli soldiers begging people to donate up to date gear..

Seriously? Is this Ukraine? This is Ukraine level requests... This is pathetic.

And with all these issues they are still thinking of attacking Iran? They can't figure it with Hamas how will they win over Iran?

Many fake spam messages like these will pop up, including asking for money.  Don't believe it all. I don't see how there is any truth to it

I personally know someone who received such requests from his friends in the Army.
