Yes, air strikers or artillery would usually happen and then shock troops would follow. Where are these troops?
And the last part? really? A video game?
Literally began on the first day of operations in Afghanistan...

It’s more infrastructure degradation than assassinations. Destroy the C/C locations, you restrict communications & the ability to strategize.
This could be one of the most redeeming features of social media.
Israel doesn’t see inserting ground troops as a viable move, either militarily or politically...Yes, air strikers or artillery would usually happen and then shock troops would follow. Where are these troops?

We are just seeing their avowed doctrine at play.
NATO effectively ended the Kosovo War through an air campaign.
No doubt much more versed in military tactics than me. Nevertheless, doesn't sit right with me, if you've a legit threat, then go in and destroy it. Instead of bombing the feck out of it and just, well, nothing.
It still had presence of friendlies for NATO. At all times. Would have looked pretty daft if NATO ended up blowing up their own allies.
It’s a brutal tactic on a helpless city. I’m not condoning it in the slightest, just pointing out the realities of it.
It would be glorious tomorrow I wake up & all the shit is over.
It would be. It's just horrible though. Not just in the Middle East. Ukraine. Syria. Absolutely horrendous that this is happening.
How are they able to target leaders if they pass down leaflets?
They obviously wouldn't do that in situations where they are relying on the element of surprise. The leaflets are only for civilians to leave buildings they are going after.
Just like Hizbollah and Assadists.

Not sure what in this article (or in this quote) contradicts what I’ve said or backs your claim. Russia isn’t in Israel’s corner, it tries to fill in the role of a power broker that handles the Middle Eastern conflict since USA quite clearly picked one side.
If you are talking about the current bombings it's not unprovoked.
Ehm, what? This is literally the first time I’m hearing of this — and as a Russian who takes some interest in politics I’d say that I’m fairly competent in the matter. He is obsessed with WW2, for example, but he scarcely ever talks about the Holocaust etc. He and FSB also played a big part in the rise of radical right movements in the early 00’s before in got out of control in 2010 (Manezhnaya) and they cut it out in a brutal fashion.
He has a few close friends/associates of Jewish ancestry (Rotenbergs/Abramovich), but I don’t think that the formers identify as such at all; Roman is a bit different, but that’s his personal stance that rarely ever was backed by Putin/government in any way.
A lot, as I am aware. I don't know more than what everyone sees on the media.
Yeah. Those rockets land or are intercepted a few miles from my home. If they were going to be closer sirens would be heard and I'd be in the safe room.
Like I said, it's surreal.
I’ve looked through a bunch of those and for the most part it’s poor-informed wishful thinking, I’m sorry. I can do the same for Palestine, I can do the same for Muslims in general based on his backing, financial & political, of Caucasian republics etc. Using Berl Lazar & other officials in order to show the political divide in Russian Jewish society
When Hamas launches rockets, is it unprovoked?
In this case no, you could ask knowing from previous experience, when you know what will happen whether it's a wise response. It certainly brings Gaza back in the media spotlight however as a overall strategy i'm not if its ultimately beneficial.
It's a never ending vicious circle. Everyone involved can always say that it was not unprovoked. This behaviour of revenge is known since mankind.
When having a look at this situation in the grand scheme, it is absolutely irrelevant who started the current debacle. Although I'm geographically completely out of touch with that region since I live in Germany, the horror stories of the middle eastern conflict have become everyday life for me. But even so, I remember (was about 7 or 8 years old) muslims of arab and iranian heritage dancing on tables in school when a terrorist attack of the Hamas was successful and I remember (not long time ago in that case) jews talking about palestinians as if they were disgusting animals, some nonhuman form of life, which would stem from their race. I can't imagine a peaceful solution and an end to this ongoing crisis in my personal lifetime (born 1990).
Probably because of George Bush aka W.

The Youtube video appears to have been deleted. But this BBC article explains that it was actually an Israeli decoy filmed in Galilee for a training exercise.
And here's a Tweet apologising for posting it in the first place.
I grew up learning that the Nazi holocaust was one of the worst acts in human history, why is it being allowed to take place again less than a century later?
As expected. Weak and a disgrace.
That's horrific
The BBC won't be showing that, might upset the Israelis. But they need to.
John Pilger made a documentary in this issue and even got some higher up folks in national media to admit the pressure applied on them to report things a certain way when it comes to Israel

Ground troops are often not used depending on the aims.
So for example of Netanyahu is looking for support and more time in office with this current incursion then even a few dead IDF would be devastating for him.
As is often the case the public's appetite for war, or killing of a people is diminished when their own are killed.
Because it isn't. It isn't even remotely comparable. I mean, the atrocities that are happening on a daily basis in the middle east are despicable enough. So there's no need to exaggerate in that dimension, what's actually happening right now is bad enough. But I think these holocaust comparisons are widely used because a jewish state is involved, right?
Hyperbole. If Israel were as ruthless as Nazi's they could wipe what counts as palestine in few days. The death toll since 1948 is far less than any almost any war or conflict of note since then.
Apartheid is the comparison to go for, not the Holocaust.
Sorry if this sounds insensitive but is holocaust, as a word, only applicable to WW2 and killing of Jewish folk?
Not a trick question here. Maybe it's a language thing but I've seen it used for Uighars and initially for the Yazidis etc.
On here some folk seem to use it just for Jewish people.
Is it not a general term as per the definition? As in killing of a people? Any people?
I read about the origin of the word, it's definition before it became synonymous with one event in time and to me it seems applicable to use in this context.
Also, I don't think we should look at what is going on, determine it's not quite at the level as one of the worst human acts ever, so therefore determine it's not worthy of the descriptor.
I read about this yesterday as I was curious too. Seems the word is loosely Hebrew derived, and was used to describe acts in the 1800s. Since the Nazi holocaust of the 1940s, it became "The Holocaust" with a capital H.
That's why I referred to what's going on as holocaust.
It's not worthy of the descriptor.
I've never thought this about anyone on the caf before, because I don't know any of ye from Adam. But reading your posts on here this week, I feel comfortable saying it.
You are not a good person.
