In re Obama’s view of the situation – Andrew Stiles at his best.

Martha’s Vineyard Resident Blogs About Hamas
…
What he said: The blog post was as pompous and long-winded as one might expect from a self-styled intellectual who writes multi-volume memoirs. Reading the whole thing would be a waste of any self-respecting person’s time, so here is the abridged version.

Yes.
Ben Rhodes told us so years ago.

“Obama warns: Some of Israel’s actions in Gaza could weaken support”

It can’t weaken Obama’s support because it has always been zero. Actually negative TBH.

Just another sick little puppy on the world stage…
“UN Secretary-General: Hamas attacks did not happen in a vacuum, but after occupation;
“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres accuses Israel of war crimes, demands cease-fire, and blames Israel for the Hamas massacre.”—

Well here’s another variant: Put a camera and C4 on a toy Tonka truck, modify it to be wire-guided rather than wireless remote, send it down the entrance, drive it until a bad guy appears, then detonate it.

Kind of like a TOW missile for tunnels, independent of jamming? Would this work?

Bill K:

A little bit if ClF3 in the tunnels would “go a long way.” Not too likely though, ClF3 is actually too dangerous for ordnance (IIRC).

A thought: Why not use drones to eliminate Gazan tunnel rats?

Con: Drones require radio reception for direction

Solution: Create autonomous hunter-killer drones, I bet DARPA has been hard at work on this.

Con: Even if they were able to autonomously navigate the tunnels, they could be possibly taken out by rifle fire

Solution: Add a large enough self-destruct explosive sensitive to any malfunction once activated to bring down that section of tunnel the drone is in, i.e. a ‘dead man’s switch’.

Con: But Israel has to find the entrances in order to unleash such drones.

Solution: Ground-mapping radar to find those entrances close to the surface even if it can’t locate deeper tunnels?

I bet 007’s Q has an answer…
