It's all pretty fucked.  It's a cold world when you don't have a powerful patron to back your play and also, even if you do.  Just look at the Kurds

I don't know about this hospital but a lot of hospitals have huge pressurized O2 tanks sitting immediately adjacent.  Seems to me that even a shitty rocket could make a big boom with a direct hit to one of those bad boys.

I don't know if it's plausible but I think it's possible

O2 doesn't go boom.

Explosives contain their own oxidizers, so adding an O2 tank (which would not diffuse into the explosive fast enough to accelerate the explosion in any meaningful way to begin with) would not expand the boom.

An O2 tank near a boom just kinda hisses, like any other tank. Anything that catches fire as a result of the explosion would burn faster and hotter due to the enriched O2 environment, but that happens seconds after. It wouldn't affect the initial fireball.






Fireball notwithstanding, O2 tanks are at high pressure.  Not 90-300psi like propane but more like in excess of 2000psi.  Seems like a catastrophic tank failure due to a HE detonation would fuck shit up.

Realistically, it was probably the guys with the weapons capable of killing 500 people at a crack who have been dropping them all over the city for days and previously ordered civilians to evacuate said city or face imminent death. 

Maybe not but probably.

I always enjoyed the part where Jacob has a mud wrestling match with God on the river bank "until the break of dawn" at which point God decides to just cheat because he's tired of that shit but Jacob still won't let go of his kung fu grip so God is like "fine, I'll give you a blessing and rename you Israel.  Happy now?"

I think that when a nation has compulsory military service for all adults, male or female, that blurs the lines a little bit with regard to who is or isn't a civilian non-combatant.  Not saying that makes indiscriminate massacres a good, or even viable tactic but it makes it harder to portray young women, for example, as innocent and helpless civilians.

Edit: on closer inspection, IDF conscription only applies to Jewish women.  Other ethnicities only have to send the men and Muslims/Christians are fully exempt from conscription.

The problem there is nuking your own territory (I mean, there are other problems but let's start here).  The better thing would be some lesser show of force followed by ceding some amount of occupied territory to the stateless folks in exchange for a cease to hostilities.  Then, the next time something happens you're at least covered in the sense that you're fighting a hostile nation instead of desperate, imprisoned people with no food or water.

The only problem with this is, are you creating a win for hamas as you already recognize by doing it you have to suffer another attack before doing what you end up having to do.  This scenario might make hamas bigger and harder.  I don't know, I am just asking.




Hamas is not and won't be a match for the IDF.  It's like a teenager beating up an unruly first grade kid.  Brutal occupation and slow genocide hadn't done the job and indeed, generally doesn't.  It creates more incentive to fight back as when one has nothing to left to lose, one tends to lash out with less restraint.  It would be good policy to give the Palestinians something to lose.  Make them stakeholders with incentive to play ball.

That's a terrible idea.  That sends the message that if you come over and rape and pillage, we're gonna give you some land.




That's traditionally how things have been done throughout written history.  The basic premise is that occasionally fighting over bits of territory is preferable (and much easier) than a protracted effort at outright extermination of opposition.

For better or worse, muslim warriors do not mind dying for a goal.  Given this, it would not be hard to get a few thousand to die in a future operation by simply saying, "We got 10,000 acres of territory by doing this in 2023.  Why not do it again?"




Maybe so.  I don't think this behavior is limited to Muslims.  It probably applies to some greater or lesser degree to any soldier in a volunteer army.

Still, at least you get the PR cover that comes with fighting a hostile state

War isn't necessarily about killing at all.  Sometimes simply moving to a particularly threatening position is sufficient to achieve a given goal

Then go talk about that war you're describing. Please.




Thats happened in a bunch of wars.  One time, Napoleon sent like 200 guys in boats across a lake and onto the rear of like 3000 guys who broke and fled.  Belisarius made an army of 200k retreat by placing a mere 15k on their flank and bluffing.  No fighting at all in that one.  Sherman took several objectives without actually fighting for them by threatening more than one objective at once via careful choice of routes, thereby forcing the cumfederates to choose which objectives to defend and which to abandon.

Many practitioners and historians who "wrote the book" in their time have tried to define war and none of the attempts are universally accepted today.

Wtf are you talking about?  Half of Gaza's population are kids already and that hasn't stopped anyone from bombing the crap outta the joint. 

You really need to learn how to discuss without resorting to name calling.  Obviously you should know that by now.
