There has been a lot of urban fighting in the middle East - i.e. Fallujah. So there's been a lot of opportunity to learn and analyze from other's mistakes.

And Israel wants to go in and isn't just talking about bombing and shelling and raiding. I think that they have some tactics worked out to actually take Gaza and I'm interested as a war history geek to see what they're going to do.
The rumours are that Israel wants to take the north part of Gaza and declare it a 'security zone'.

Israel aims to declare new security zone in northern Gaza: Analyst

Norman Finkelstein, an American author and political scientist, says Israel is aiming to expel Palestinians from the northern sector of Gaza and declare a new security zone there.
He described the Israeli operation in Gaza as “somewhere between a crime against humanity and genocide under international law”, and said the nuclear-armed state’s goal appears to be “to ethnically cleanse the northern sector of Gaza and declare it Israel’s new security zone”.
He added that “the cutting off of water, food and fuel to a civilian population, when keeping in mind Netanyahu’s claim that this situation will go on for a protracted period of time, and if you connect those two facts, no food, no water, no electricity for a protracted period of time, then its hard for anyone to concede that being anything but the crime – under international law – of genocide”.


This will result in 10's of thousands of deaths, both those who won't leave because they don't want a second Nabka and those who will starve or die for lack of water.

Both Biden and Trudeau have come out with statements saying Israel must not break international law.
Israel's already gone too far.

There does seem to be a lot of Islamic terror attacks all over the globe.
List of Islamist terrorist attacks - Wikipedia
Darts, saying "there seems to be" is vastly understating the reality of the situation. The truth is that there is undeniably a lot of Islamic terror attacks all over the globe.

And as far as I can recall it's been going on since Munich 1972. I am proud that Montreal 1976 did not allow it to continue.

I was there and it was one of the most memorable trips of my life. I still have an official training jacket of a British swimmer named James (Jimmy) Carter. I bought it from him one evening in Old Montreal for $50 and one gram of hashish. Oh, to be young again. LOL. Every night was party night.

You should have told the co-eds that you were a communist. That's what I did and it worked beautifully. LOL!

BTW: I just heard that the Quebec government will double the fees for foreign students attending Quebec's English universities (McGill, Concordia and Bishop).
Re: the foreign students fees... Quelle surprise!

I have completely lost interest. I can't watch it anymore. Just sad that the world is like this. Endless hate and suffering and death.

Latest this morning. So about noon there.

Hard to say, how much they’ve softened up defences. Hard to say how many martyrs are staying to fight, and not mixed in with those evacuating.

it’s hard to a degree to swallow it’s come to this. But everyone involved has made choices.

What’s next. Just hope more, don’t get involved or dragged into it.
