Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?

    Remember what happened during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The fighters were as motivated and prepared as they could possibly be, but they were still militarily outmatched by an enormous margin.

    It is important to be cold and unsentimental in warfare. That is necessary to assess your enemies strengths and weaknesses accurately. I believe the Palestinian troops are fully aware of the monstrous disparity in forces and have set out war objectives they feel they are able to achieve in spite of that disparity.

      Fair, but with the possibility of Hezbollah’s support this is not a Warsaw Ghetto situation, Israel is fighting on many fronts. But I don’t know enough to make any kind of accurate assessment.

      Thankfully our Palestinian comrades are 1000x smarter and braver than me. palestine-strong
