Israeli news anchor to CNN: 'World moved quickly from showing empathy to blaming Israel' Yonit Levi explains that Israelis feel they shouldn't be allowed such a short window of support when fighting Hamas.

Israel National News, Oct 29, 2023, 7:57 PM (GMT+2)

Israeli news anchor Yonit Levi spoke with CNN on Sunday about the situation in Israel since the October 7th massacre by Hamas.

Levi described the public sentiment on the war, which has entered its next stage with IDF ground forces entering the Gaza Strip. "Israelis are still very much in this. They are reeling from the worst terror attack that they have ever suffered. Every day, more and more information is coming out. Sources told me that there are still more than 100 Israeli bodies that haven't been identified. Understand what has been done to these people before death and after. This is where we are; the public is watching this very closely, concerned about the hostages and also about what the next steps of this war will look like."

When asked about foreign support for Israel she explains that US support is not only in the form of aircraft carriers but also in the form of advisors who are experts in the type of situations that Israel is facing in the Gaza Strip.

Despite this, Levi feels the foreign support for Israel is waning fast: "I think, from the Israeli point of view, the world has moved on quite quickly from showing very, very brief empathy for what we are still going through to, in many cases, even blaming Israel for what has happened. And I think that now many Israelis feel like their case isn't clear enough, maybe hasn't been clear enough for years. But how do you wage this war against this terror organization, which has been so cynical, that starts by murdering your own children and then hides under their population, not at all caring if they're hurt? So it's a very difficult thing to manipulate and maneuver, I think that Israelis on the one hand do feel like the stopwatch has begun to run its course, Israel always has a short window. But we are also kinda angered by the fact that there is a stopwatch to begin with because they feel like they have been through something that should never happen again."

Short attention spans. This is the danger in waiting too long to effectively retaliate.

Muslim agents of influence are deeply embedded in Western governments and news media. With the help of the Hussein O’Biden cabal it has gotten 10x worse.

I have been looking at maps of Israel from the past in the time of Jesus......There was a lot of land that was conquered and stolen....Wouldn’t that make Muslims and Arabs “”colonizers””?????

Ignore stupid people. In this case “too long” meant enough time to degrade the fight forces of the enemy and hopefully reduce the number of your own casualties. Public opinion doesn’t matter. The international “community” doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the number of soldiers that your critics are going to commit to the battlefield against you. And the French and other whining nations won’t (Turkey will if they think they can get away with it, but they can’t). So, yeah, ignore stupid people...

how is Israel behaving differently than any other country that has been attacked?

Seems to be a standard case of the government doing something wrong without the consent of the governed.

Dare we ask who holds the reins of power over there?

Western Leftists consider Arab Muslims to all be uneducated fanatics who are savages so therefore they get special privileges for violence because they don’t know any better.

Shutting off communications in Gaza was an explicit decision by the Israelis — one that was reversed after pressure from the United States, says a senior U.S. official. “We made it clear they had to be turned back on” and “need to stay back on.” Via

Ask a Leftist/Democrats about why the Crusades originated and they blame the French.

A lot of people seem to get fooled by the Communist press' focus on the pro-terrorist demonstrations, which greatly exaggerate the popular support for Hamas. You see almost exclusively two groups supporting Hamas: Muslims and Communists. If Western societies wish to live, both must be suppressed.

In Western Europe in particular I see a sea change in public opinion where many are finally waking up to the danger coming from having admitted so many Muslims and the feeling that Western nations have to close ranks in combating them.

So Biden’s handlers are allowing Hamas to murder more Israeli citizens while pretending to back Israel. Our government is such a corrupt joke.

The Israelis need to make plain to the Iran butt-kissers and cowards in DC that either they get a free hand or they will attack Iran directly and precipitate the conflict the cowards in DC are so afraid of.

They'll fold immediately.
