Israeli troops have gone into Gaza, and we are being told that this is a war that could last for months.  Of course it could easily last a lot longer than that.  If the stated goal is to eliminate Hamas, that certainly won't be easy.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling this a second war of independence, and he just told the world that "Never Again is now"…

Netanyahu said troops that he has met in the field are determined to make Hamas pay for its actions on October 7.

"They are determined to eradicate this evil from the world, for our existence and, I add — for all of humanity."
