Events have largely been set in motion in response to the attacks on Israel that can not be stopped.
Israel believes it is in an existential crisis.
The myth of the infallibility of Israel's intelligence service and the invulnerability of it's military/border forces have been shattered.
The past 48 hours have revealed horrible atrocities committed by Hamas, horrific murder and brutal violence; video of Palestinians cheering the abuse of death of Jews has filled the internet.
The combination of fear, vulnerability, and rage makes it completely certain that Israel will substantially raze Gaza to the ground.
Early footage of Israeli air strikes in Gaza show the destruction of nominally civilian targets, destroyed residential buildings and mosques, wounded and dead children - this footage will enflame the Muslim and Arab world.
A US Navy Carrier Strike group will be in range to support Israel within the next 12 hours, the force of this Carrier group is to deter Israel's neighbors from attempting to intervene or support Hamas or Palestine.
Within the next 24-48 hours Israel will almost certain begin at least a limited ground invasion of Gaza, it will likely be a systematic and complete destruction that will displace a 1,000,000 or more people.
The events that transpire over the next week will, reignite conflicts and embroil the United States in regional conflicts for another 20 years.
Within a few weeks more rational conversation will likely be possible, during this current period that fear and anger dominates - nuance or anything less than unconditional support of Israel will be categorized as support of Hamas.
"You are with us or you are against us" is and will be the dominant sentiment for weeks and months.
In a month or two when passions have been sated and fear is abated there will be collective amnesia about the rush to respond - there will be regrets and remorse about the consequences and the ramifications for the next 20 years.
America will likely be targeted by direct terrorist action on U.S. soil, border security will likely dominate political debate this cycle.
