After months of fighting, Hamas had been forced to fall back to its stronghold in Rafah on the Egyptian border.
And the pressure on Israel not to go into Rafah intensified. Not only AOC and Bernie Sanders, but Biden warned Israel not go in because of the “humanitarian impact”.
Israel went in and brought out two hostages.
After the previous hostage deal, Hamas supporters, including AOC, kept hammering home the claim that the only way to free the hostages is to cut a deal with Hamas. But cutting deals with terrorists just leads to more dead bodies and more hostages.
Finally, by leading the operation with a successful hostage rescue, Israel reversed at least some of the narrative about Rafah. The pro-Hamas crowd will double and triple down, as they always do, but after months of war, there is a moment of genuine joy.

Everybody else seems to “know” what the Israelis MUST do, yet rarely does this work in the best interests of the Israelis.
For the Israelis, extermination of Hamas is a categorical imperative and intimately tied to existential threats from the other side. Should Hamas survive, it will only spell growing and much more deadly attacks from other players.
Iran is the most deadly threat Israel faces.
Hamas winning will only spur on the fundamentalists in foreign countries.
.
And rescued two people to boot.
a country defending their own borders
How about that ???
When are we going to protect ours ???
Whether Hamas survives or not, the Israeli strategic situation is going to continue to deteriorate.
They are in a war of extermination and it remains to be seen if they have the will or the resources to come out on top.
Congrats. You taught the Israelis that no truce will ever be sincere, or honored. “Now youse can’t leave”

And by obliterating Hamas, all the rest of the camel jockeys get a very powerful lesson. You -can- go too far.
They are in a war of extermination and it remains to be seen if they have the will or the resources to come out on top.
Yes, it doesn't matter in the long rum if every present Hamas fighter is killed.
As long as there is a Holy Koran and Muslims, or unless the Muslims are so completely defeated they lay low for many years, this will go on.
The translations of the Holy Koran being sold to non Muslims have been altered to make Islam look like a religion of peace.
In our world what we call terrorism, in their world is just Muslims doing as the Holy Koran commands them.
Remember in one memorable scene, one of Scott's lines says it all: As Patton surveys the positive results of the battle in progress between Allied forces and the Nazi army in northern Africa, he proclaims, “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”
Every non Muslim needs to read the enemy's book.
Until they do, and then behave accordingly, this madness will never end.
He will build the largest prison in the world in Rafah and put all able bodied males in there. That's how you destroy Hamas.
Everyone?
Buncha Jihadis.
That area has been and will be a spot of troubling, till the end of days. That area is biblical then and is biblical now.. It is end times area.. The fight to own the land.
Jesus came as their (Jews) King and the Hi Priests rejected Him.
He didn’t come in a robe with K I N G written on the fabric. They reasoned, Jesus’ father was a carpenter.. He was born in Bethlehem.. And lived in a manger for a time. “Kings Come fully processed. And we would know. They missed it.
Jesus healed.. He did great things.. The high caliber decided they would have to get Him out of the way.
Jesus prayed for Israel.. And Sat under a tree lamenting.. Oh Jerusalem.. Jerusalem.. How I wanted to help you.. And you would not have it.
All of that area take their heritage seriously. The Jews in the land.. And Arabs in the land.
In fact, it has never been in the best interest of the Israelis. It has always been to their determent, nor the world at large either.
That’s the obamian global initiative at work.
You are correct. As long as Islam exists, there will never be long-term peace with other religions. But the Israeli destruction of Hamas will buy us some time. 10 years? That’s why the Israelis call this “mowing the grass.”
This time they’ve got to scalp it really close.
