Conventionally speaking Israel has the advantage in technology and material but what bogs down that type of force is the unconventional asymmetric warfare. IE - Vietnam, Afghanistan, the American revolution against the Britts etc etc etc.

For a conventional force to overcome such a situation it is well known that a ratio of 10 to 1 is required. The Britts didn't want to commit that to the US revolution, The Soviets and US have both balked in Afghanistan and even at the height of the Vietnam war the US refused to commit the amount of men and resources required to obtain victory.

Combine Hamas and Egyptian forces and they'll number much more than 7,000...

Just saying is all.

No they've been dealing with rockets forever and they can't get rid of them. More will just come in. This different reaction is because they have other intentions. They aren't calling up these reservists for a rocket attack. Even if it was a larger one with casualties, its still a commonality.

Where are u getting 7000? I've heard 17 to 75 thousand reservists. In addition to active duty which I'm pretty sure is every young Israeli.

Reread my reply again...

Conventional forces required to obtain a victory over non conventional forces is a 10 to 1 ratio. Israel is calling up 70,000. At a 10 to 1 ratio that means that 70,000 is the number required to overcome an unconventional guerrilla force numbering 7,000

Combine Hamas and Egyptian forces and their numbers far exceed 7,000

They called up the troops as a show of force. Granted, if we see casualties numbers rise, those troops will be marching forward I'd imagine. But marching into Iran?

I want to think that there will be restraint, but this has been a long time coming. It took Hamas to take over a country close enough to kick start things. Now, it's inevitable IMO.

They deserve each other...

I feel bad for individuals who allow for some pretend religion to dictate their world and allows good people to be sucked in and die because of it. Brainwashed into thinking that they 'belong' there... and others don't based on religion.

I find it damn near impossible to even comprehend, lets say, being Jewish and saying "This is where I belong, and all my Jewish friends must unite and move here, this is a Jewish state"

Or to say, "I'm a Muslim, this is a Muslim state, I support Sharia laws and I support destroying Israel on a religious basis"

Destroying people because they are Jewish?

I know there's a difference between Zionism and Judaism, Muslims and Hamas and Brotherhood... but rockets don't and that's what their shooting at one another.

this whole thing is just crap. and Israel wins

Israel is getting ready to deal with Gaza a delaying action by Iran.

Iran tells hamas to stir the pot to buy them time to finish their "bomb".

Israel and Iran is not going to happen anytime soon.

Invasion of Gaza possibly looms, now if Israel and Hamas cool their jets maybe.

The more you post them the more people will get immune to them and skip past your posts. I do now.

I think they're counterproductive.

(and none of those pictures are facts, even in capitals).

a round about way to striking Iran,

i would not be surprised if the US didn't confirm with Israel on this all, i would not be surprised if this was the plan all along, wait until the elections and then round about strike Iran

Former U.S. envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell told "CBS This Morning" the biggest danger to Israel in the current clashes was that they could draw in Hezbollah - a group backed by and present in Iran. Hezbollah has superior firepower to Hamas, and Mitchell says the group could hit almost anywhere inside Israel.



and draw in aid from the US?

a round about way of attacking Iran, without straight forward attacking Iran,

it seems the Us likes to go into invasion by way of 'Aid'

This could get big and ugly rely fast Syria, Egypt, Iran,and Turkey not to mention Russia, all being involved in this. Egypt has a arms deal with Russia that could be brought in. Turkey could move on Syria, when Syria, makes its play, Egypt could say this was an attack on them, Iran could use the removed fuel form the reactor for a Nuke weapon.

No because Iran will never strike first. Not even if they know its coming. If they did Israel would say they had no preemptive in the works and Iran would be admonished rather than Israel. Theu can't afford that with the west on their back.


I wouldnt be so sure...

Iran Threatens Pre-Emptive Strike on Israel

Iranian military commander Al-Alam
“Iran will not start any war but it could launch a pre-emptive attack if it was sure that the enemies are putting the final touches to attack it,”


The question then becomes what if Iran misinterprets Israel and ends up striking first by mistake?
In the Fog of war and political rhetoric anything can and has happened before.

I highly doubt this news. They cite Reuters as the source, but there is no such thing on Reuters website!
www.reuters.com...

Can we find another source that is trustworthy or at least Iran-aligned that confirms this?

Russia and china should move troops and armor to the border of Iran.

Here is the news from Fars about Iranian brigades being "ready to deploy to Gaza". It is a speculative article, meant obviously for home consumation, and no military source is cited, so I still wouldn't give it much credit. Also, they wouldn't be sending their troops just like that, first we would see Hezbollah get involved heavily.

Still, good to be noted.

Do you believe Iran would nuke some country and risk most of the world coming down on them? I would think the US Congress would sign off on a war against them if that happened. That would be a better excuse then what is usually needed,
