    Israel definitely does have the resources to go just boots on the ground. They have more troops than Russia initially sent in to Ukraine. They could “safely” secure Gaza block by block if they wanted to.

      As best I know, the IDF has roughly 3 million members. That may seem like a lot at first, but think about how many of those are in support roles. That’s not 3 million infantry dipshit. They do not actually have more “troops” than Russia has sent to Ukraine.

      Also, Russia is not exactly the comparison you want to be using to argue that Israel has sufficient resources lmfao

      Fucking idiot.
