Wait until they hear about Bibi's plan to flood all the tunnels and drown the hostages.
I’ve heard about it, the tunnels are so large it’s going to take weeks to fill them if they try, and even then only if the tunnels are completely dense and solid, otherwise the water will leak into the ground and destroy some of their fresh groundwater.
Why, what did you hear because you said it all hyperbolic and provocative like…
Yeah the "let's drown the tunnels" plan seems like an idea that would have been discarded ages ago. The IDF has an entire unit that does the tunnel warfare and this obvious idea is not on their strategy list so it's most likely stupid.
Some guy in the israeli government probably thought he was really smart but it's one of the first things that anyone in tunnel warfare would have thought of.
Will it be drinkable water because that is in short supply. The innocent Palestinians in Gaza would certainly appreciate some potable water.
Why use potable water when the ocean is right there?
One of the freed hostages talked about that in the article. Her husband is still being held. They appear to know.
This is obvious to anyone who thinks about it
He didn't care about the hostages though he just used them to justify attacking Gaza. His family is fine why would he care about them?
This whole narrative I keep seeing that says Hamas hides amongst civilians is really fucking dumb because quite honestly that's how 99% of wars against a larger, more powerful force have been fought.
It's what the Jews did themselves in Prague in the ghettos
And if you know they hide amongst civilians, you would assume they hide their hostages in the same places.
So if you just go off and bomb and kill 17000 people indiscriminately, you are yourself proving you don't give a fuck about the hostages
