The Israeli military has issued a statement today announcing that they have called up another 18,000 reservist soldiers for the ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall number up to 65,000.
Israel began the invasion of the strip earlier this afternoon, just hours after ending a five hour “humanitarian ceasefire,” and one which officials say will likely be escalated further in the days to come.
The exact number of troops involved in the ground invasion so far is unknown, but is believed to be many thousands, backed with tanks and warplanes that are continuing to pound the tiny enclave’s civilian population.
Israel had troops on “stand-by” along the Gaza border for several days, and it was only after finally getting approval from the security cabinet today that the invasion began.
Negative logic — Name of the game
Every time the war loving Western powers jack-up the sanctions, Iran should jack-up the percent of enrichment of their uranium. Then if it reaches weapons grade, 98%, then if the West wanted Iran to get rid of such a weapon of mass destruction, surely they would have to get rid of all their sanctions first.
Are there any humans at all in Israeli decision making?
