You have a understandable and justified interest from Israel to Destroy Hamas.
However, I think the current plan will provoke an enormous reaction from the Muslim world.
Pretty much everyone from Indonesia to Morocco is going to be extremely upset and I think we will see the front against Israel in the region coalesce into a real Military alliance against Israel.
We need to protect Israel from itself.
The problem is, it takes a President who has the authority and strength to tell the Israeli Government no, you can not go into Gaza and execute the plans you have.

We see the usual suspects crapping over the Colonel.
I accept your point on ISIS but I fear they’re more VC or Taliban i.e embedded within their society as much as we find that bizarre and stupid...
I think you might be underestimating the enemy the last 50 years should perhaps tell you something
it’s never as easy as u think
Unless you dust off the nukes and use them to kill 10s of thousands and demand surrender (like with the Japanese) these wars and conflicts tend to drag on.
This is what the last 50 years has taught us from Korea to Afghanistan.
I dont think nukes will ever be used again so we could be stuck.
See my post on nukes.
I can’t see the being ever being used, realistically?
Maybe I underestimate the gravity of the situation.
It’s more likely to be a protracted operation.
I pray they have a swift plan and it works like ISIS situation.
Although Trump is not in office..
I don’t disagree with what you said but this is a real mess.warsvlikevfoitballngamesvften have unusual outcomes.
Another thing to consider in Israel’s favour is the gearing up for the 24 election year in the U.S. Biden is dumb, but not so dumb to throw away too many important Jewish votes when he will need every constituency in the democrat coalition to stay together to have a hope of winning. The Republicans, with Trump looking the goods, are not gonna go Jorge Bush on Israel and Colon Bowel them
I know nothing about MacGregor. He seems quite foolish.
Reading his advice it may have said “Grant must send food to Atlanta”
We are in for hell. absolute hell thanks to Biden, democrats, and marxists. Prepare accordingly, God bless you and your family,
Yours is the most truthful reply. Throughout history, it is only the toughest who have survived.
The Muslim world talks a lot of trash. Everyone has a “plan” until they get their teeth knocked out and are unconscious face down on the pavement.
I am normally a staunch supporter of Israel and Netanyahu. Primarily, my support is based upon the Bible and that Israel is a democracy.
Today, a day off, I was watching a number of youtube videos about the war, and a series of interviews and proselytizing by a Messianic Jew, originally from the US, in Israel. It absolutely amazed me, the number of secular Jews. I believe that one interviewee, also a Believer in Yeshua, stated that Israel is one of the most secular countries in the world, and that it is one of the most pro-trans and pro-homo countries in the world.
This evening, I also watched today’s video from ‘Canadian Prepper’. He interviewed an individual, who stated that Netanyahu is a globalist and his move into politics was backed and funded by Henry Kissinger and associated globalists. FWIW, I did a search of ‘Netanyahu globalist’ and located a his page on the WEF site. THAT absolutely scares me!
The interviewee stated that IDF members who normally watched the border against Hamass were withdrawn to the North, six months ago, leaving that border very lightly defended. Israel also disarmed its citizens fairly recently. In the past, Israeli citizens, especially in kibutzes, would have been armed to the teeth, and the Hamass terrorists would have quickly been stopped with extreme prejudice.
Something else that is troubling, is that the alarm systems on the border, are so sensitive that a bird, sitting on the fence, farting, would set off the system. This did not happen and, it took supposedly, six HOURS for the IDF and border police to respond!
This fellow also mentioned that the IDF has been shelling Hezbollah positions in the north, on an almost weekly basis, trying to provoke Iran. He said that the globalists want Iran destroyed because they are the only country in the region, which produces almost all of its own millitary equipment, buying little from either the East or the West. The globalists want Iran destroyed to stop this, and make Iran dependent upon them. I can’t say that I agree with his reasoning but it is an interesting perspective.
Over the last few months, I’ve had a feeling about Netanyahu, that didn’t seem quite right. I couldn’t put my finger on it. While I cannot trust a globalist, I continue to support Israel, if only for the sake of what the Lord teaches us. If it is chastisement, so be it. I will still pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We may well be alive to see Him return.
Just for historical purposes, in WWII the US and allied forces carpet bombed Dresden and other cities in Germany. They used incendiary bombs on civilians. Some estimates are that up to 250,000 people died from the bombing. Mostly women, children, and the elderly were literally burned alive in what today, and even then among some, would be considered a war crime.
Another 250,000 mostly civilians died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Not commenting on all that history, just putting into context that other civilizations have done what they believed was needed in a life and death struggle for survival. And yet most of the world continues to tell Israel to show restraint in the face of enduring ongoing civilian bombings, mass casualties, and stated goals to annihilate them from the face of the earth.
Totally agree.
Muslims stop all their ruthless aggression if they get their noses bloodied enough. They were truly afraid of Trump, but only despise the Biden regime, whom they regard as toothless and begging for surrender to the Muslim threat.
Secretary Blinken only murmurs “Please stoppppppppppppp!”, while Trump quietly reminded the rascals he would “rain Hell upon them”.
What a Buffon !
I think you and McGregor deserve each other.
Why is this fool even someone to pay attention to? Carlson liking him isn’t enough for me.
MacGregor is entitled to his point of view, and I’m entitled to ignore it. He is a nobody attempting to be somebody.
“Come on Freepers I know this will spark a debate. What do you think?”
“A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature.”
