Former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama joins Jen Psaki to discuss Israel preparing to expand its attack in Gaza and what the United States conversations with Israel may sound like at this moment. Rhodes says "You want Israel to think very hard about the scale of which it goes into Gaza because a full scale ground invasion and potential reoccupation of Gaza is something that goes beyond anything we've seen in the previous Gaza wars." - Inside w/Jen Psaki - MSNBC - 10/14/2023.

anything we have seen
What would you suggest Ben?
How would you go after Hamas, or would you recommend not doing anything?
The invasion of Iraq by the U.S. based on a lie was beyond anything we have seen also.
The firebombing of Dresden during WWII was beyond anything we had ever seen
War creates situations beyond we have ever seen before
What is happening in Ukraine is beyond anything we have seen before
Regardless, we live in very dangerous times, and whatever is done has risks and repercussions
