The top US military official indicated Thursday that Israel will have a harder time eradicating Hamas the longer its military campaign in the Gaza Strip drags out and the more civilians that are killed in the process.

US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, asked whether he is concerned that the rapidly climbing non-combatant death toll in Israel’s war against Hamas will lead Palestinian civilians to turn to terror, responded, “Yes, very much so.

“Hamas’ goal is to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. But Israel shouldn’t fight back because that would be hard and will just make more of them.”

Hard to argue with that logic. /s

Not to mention our aid given, illegally-Taylor Force Act, to the PA to pay imprisoned terrorists. Including ones being killed as we speak. They’ll need a lot more money from Joe.

Most of them are already terrorists or perfectly at ease with supporting terrorists, so what's the difference? The general should shut up. And this is the general who was pushing for fifty per cent of all AF pilots to be POC or women.

Brown, in his comments, called Israel’s war aim of toppling Hamas “a pretty large order,” while claiming that the campaign was focused on targeting senior Hamas leadership, which it might succeed in doing more quickly.

This guy is no Curtis LeMay. Defeating Nazi Germany is a pretty tall order. OMG.

An American intelligence official told The New York Times that Sinwar’s exact location is not known to the US, but left open the possibility that the IDF has a better understanding of where he is.

I should hope so!

Nonetheless, Brown told reporters, “I think the longer this goes, the harder it can become.”

Is this General Brown? Or Captain Obvious?

“...Israel’s war against Hamas will lead Palestinian civilians to turn to terror, responded, “Yes, very much so. ...”

Obviously, America’s top general knows little about Palestinians.Terrorism is in their DNA. That’s what they eat, drink, think and act. These are people who give up their children to be suicide bombers for $50,000 each. On October 7th behind the Hamas fighters came a second wave of Palestinian civilians killing and mutilating Israeli.

And just what are our top General’s credentials anyway?

It’s to bad American Generals didn’t adopt this same strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan when after 20 years advocating all they needed was a little more money and time and the terrorists were going to be defeated

It will cause the Palestinians to become terrorists in the same way that it causes the sun to rise.

Hamas can only be eliminated from Gaza with (a) a period if Israeli occupation followed by (b) a continued security arrangement inside Gaza with a handpicked “Palestinian” adminstration. Long term purging of Hamas requires an end to Israel-Jewish hatred that is a continuous part of education in Gaza. (meanwhile, in Israel, hatred of “Arabs” IS NOT part of public education).

“For tunnels and roads”

OR right into the Swiss bank accounts of the three guys who run Hamas. Living right now in five star hotels in Qutar.
The three leaders of Hamas all are worth multiple BILLIONS.

As a comparison, Taylor Swift apparently just became a BILLIONAIRE after having the biggest North American concert tour on record.

The leaders of Hamas are worth $4 Billion EACH.

Palestinians have been offered statehood many times, they turned down those offers. Why? because their goal isn’t statehood; it’s eradication of Jewish people.

Trump appointed him to the top spot in the Air Force.

Obviously, Trump needs to hire someone that can assist him in appointment decisions. That’s the catch 22, hiring someone to advise.
