Steve - I hope we're both wrong. War helps no one.

Mossad hunted down each 1972 terrorist, they will do the same this time.

Iran will definitely feel retribution.

Why Israel’s ‘mighty vengeance’ is just what Hamas wants
9 Oct, 2023

- Hamas’ leaders desperately want the de facto veto Palestinians once had on concessions other Arabs make to Israel, and this is the only way they might get it
- Political considerations on the part of Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah all threaten to make an already bloody state of affairs even more dangerous

If you are wondering why Hamas launched its all-out assault on Israel on Saturday, I wrote it last week: “The Arab world has basically abandoned the Palestinians to their fate, whatever that may be. Six Arab countries have established diplomatic ties with Israel and several more, including Saudi Arabia, are on the brink of doing so.”
The attack is not “all-out” in the sense that Hamas expects to win, of course. It doesn’t even expect a seat at the negotiating table. But Hamas’ leaders desperately want to recover the de facto veto that Palestinians once had on the concessions other Arabs make to Israel, and this is the only way they might get it.

The “ mighty vengeance” that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promises to rain down on the Gaza Strip is exactly what Hamas actually wants – the mightier the better. The whole point is to get the Israelis to send its soldiers in on the ground because that’s when the casualties start going up steeply.
