If I were to make a truthful, unfiltered comment on this matter, I’d be lifetime banned from FR.
So Hamas is paying the big guy 10%. That’s the strategic interest in defending raping murderous child molesting terrorists.
If his head is on a pike... Mmm... Maybe.
Didn’t Israel already have this monster in custody and then they released him. That’s the sort of nonsense that needs to stop... When you have a monster in your custody, just kill him to be sure.
America is ruled by Marxist globohomo filth.
The Biden administration is as pro-Palestinian (which amounts to being pro-Hamas) as they feel like they can get away with being. They’re doing a lot to undermine Israel’s destruction of Hamas. What we’re seing is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
“U.S. policymakers who have proved repeatedly over the last half century that they are incapable of winning wars”
The only constitutionally legal war we have been in recently is WW II.
The rest were all Political and run by Democrats, so naturally we would lose.
Maybe this is all a trial balloon, and we don’t know where Sinwar is either. Even announcing that we do (if we did) puts any of our operatives at increased risk of discovery and what comes after.
But, should the Israelis bite, it’s a test of whether or not Sinwar cares about Gaza, or if the various Palestinian and Arab factors are willing to serve him up to save what’s left of Rafah.
3-D chess from Jarret/Obama/Biden?
Big Ben, just say no to resident DirtyPants!
If Israel finishes off Hamas, the Biden administration’s efforts to complete Obama’s Middle East security architecture will collapse. From that perspective, Team Biden prefers to sacrifice Sinwar and save Obama’s most important strategic initiative, which aims to override the traditional U.S.-led order of the Middle East and give birth to a new and unholy anatomy, tying America to an anti-American terror-state that embodies Jew hatred.

The Chicago way of doing business just does not translate well in international circles. The thugs running the DNC simply have no allegations to their own allies or their voters. Their greed and now their anger at America for rejection of their failed leadership is force more pain for personal gain.
The DNC has thrown gas on relations with China, Africa, Russia, and Israel. If China and Russia were to give Israel guarantees on their security they would flip from US support. Can you imagine Israel joining China and sharing the F35s?
Biden is corrupt, Sullivan’s corrupt, Blinkens an idiot, and Obama purely hates his own self as he tries to destroy the world.
The world is sick of the United States and the Democrats in how they force everything using hard power to accomplish their societal goals and world plans for domination.
No amount of American goodwill and honest diplomacy can undo the damage of what the Clinton’s, Obamas, and Bidens have done to the US in their power trips and racial hate.
Why would Traitor Joe make this trade? He’d lose the Islamic voters in Michigan and Minnesota.
The US has no mutual defense or security treaty with Israel. As far as I know, the number of Israeli "allies" killed alongside of our soldiers and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan approaches zero.
The Israeli defense establishment may be laboring under a false impression about what the US will or won't do for them.
Second to last paragraph: Sinwar is hiding in the tunnels under Gaza.
I am no geopolitical expert, but I think I see some minor-major flaws with this plan. Minor to those who want to look good as peacemakers making a deal. Major in that it makes making and following through on any agreement completely impossible.
Sinwar is not Biden's to give, and pretending Hamas will honor any deal is delusional. The Middle East being the Middle East, who cares about following through on peace plans created out of expediency by the US, that no one in the region wants?
“The Biden team’s offer to trade Yahya Sinwar...for guarantees that the Israeli military stay out of Rafah points to two disturbing truths about the current conflict in the Middle East. The first is that the U.S. knows plenty about what the Hamas terror group is doing and has done.”
MANY of us believe that the US, at a minimum, kept information away from Israel regarding the planned attack, so that the attack would be ‘more effective’ and, ideally, weaken Netanyahu to the point of him losing power and possibly being thrown in jail.
The problem with playing games like that is that one may just get bit.
