"The Biden Administration denounces the terrible atrocities being committed with the six billion dollars President Biden gave Hamas" said Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. "We are deeply saddened by the deaths caused by every missile purchased with money from the Biden administration."

As sickening videos emerged of terrorists carrying out executions of women and children, Hamas issued a statement thanking President Biden for sponsoring their invasion. "We could never have killed, raped and tortured all these innocent people without the help of Joe Biden," said Hamas leader Mohammed Deif. "Just one month ago, Biden funneled six billion dollars to us through Iran -- and now look where we are today. Thanks, Joe."

At publishing time, members of the Squad were seen gathered in their Hamas soccer jerseys with bags of popcorn.

The attack comes in the context of $6B in assets that the Biden Administration recently released to Iran, and new that Israel and Saudi Arabia are on the brink of a major peace deal. Commenters are already speculating that the violence is intended to derail the Saudi peace deal.

Based just on what we know so far, there probably has not been as large or coordinated an attack on Israel since the 60’s and 70’s. Until now, Israel’s intelligence services have been extremely effective at detecting, predicting, and preventing any large, coordinated attack like this one. In 2002, Israel went to war with Yassar Arafat after only two of its soldiers were killed. Israel has already begun a counteroffensive and several Palestinian buildings where Hamas were believed to be located have already been destroyed.

In addition to many soldiers, Hamas captured at least one top Israeli commander:

It seems highly unlikely that commander Aloni’s capture was an accident, which in turn suggests that the action was extremely well-planned with significant intelligence. It also seems unlikely that regional terrorist groups could have accomplished all this without help from a nation-state.

So the big question right now is: how far will this spread? Will other groups be encouraged to join? Anecdotal reports suggest there is a risk of a larger area of effect:

Israeli News 12 reported that an unnamed Israeli minister warned that this might be a distraction before a full-scale war with Lebanon and Syria to the north. Obviously, in the fog or war, there are more hot takes than actual news.

Local Israelis report being mustered up for civilian duty:

It’s a good thing Israelis are allowed to bear arms.



The issue is whether the controversy will spark another regional war. It seems likely that the conflict must get worse before it can get better.

Joe Biden is still sleeping.

But we are awake and praying for all the civilians on both sides, and that cooler heads will quickly prevail.
