Netanyahu Claims That Israel Is 'Just a Touch Away' From Declaring Victory Over Hamas
PJ Media ^ | 02/08/2024 | Michael Cantrell

Posted on 02/08/2024 10:10:03 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement that the Jewish state is "just a touch away" from proclaiming a decisive victory over radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas. This is good news if it is accurate. Taking out a terrorist organization is always a reason to celebrate as it means that one less group is posing a threat to the safety and peace of the world, which is already strained to the limit.

Of course, leftists all over the world, particularly here in America, are going to be irritated to hear that Hamas has almost been defeated, seeing as how they view the organization as a group of freedom fighters striking back at colonialist oppressors rather than radical religious zealots who would love to commit genocide against Jews and Christians. Then again, the left believes that everything is about the relationship between the oppressed and the oppressor.

“Now we are in Khan Younis, and we have guided the IDF to go into these last strongholds of Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “Here, again, when the time comes, the IDF, according to international law, will enable the civilians a safe passage outside these areas. The destruction of this underground is what we are going to do until the very end.”

“I would like to emphasize once again, there is no other solution other than this complete and decisive victory, because otherwise it is just a matter of time until the next massacre, and the axis of terror from Iran will continue,” the prime minister added. “So only by destroying Hamas will we have security for the State of Israel in the north and in the south, because Hamas would like to radiate its terror all over the Middle East.

I wish I were as optimistic as he is, but I sure hope he’s
right. It may be that Israel thinks that it can’t draw
this out further, and so it’s going to have to claim
victory and back off.

Hamas needs to be exterminated.

Hezbollah isn’t far behind.

Right now in Israel a majority of the public 60 percent wants the war to continue.

So Netanyahu has enough public support to continue using the military.

There are YouTube channels that give daily updates. They have taken out most of the commanders. They had made good strides.

Hezbollah is an existential threat. They are definitely next.

Suppose someone wanted to put together a list of videos and maybe other references to make the case for Israel in this war. And suppose the audience under consideration consists of people from the global South that have heard only a one sided view. Are there suggestions?

For starters, the daily updates of the Israeli government, Douglas Murray, Caroline Glick, the courageous men giving us the score from Gaza itself, would be a start.

Careful, Bibi.

Most optimistic estimates are that only half of ham ass fighters are dead.

Gotta play whack-a-terrorist for a long while.

The statement in the headline sounds an awful lot like hubris, and as everyone knows, hubris is at the heart of nearly every Greek tragedy.

Yep. LBJ had the same attitude when he thought the NV army had met their cross over point where more soldiers were being killed on the battlefield than could replaced. Tet proved him wrong. Even though it was a catastrophe for the VC and NV army, they were more than willing to replenish their troops and continue.

D.O you’re so right about Hamas. They’re the winners of the fight. Just observe the many pro-Hamas raleys worldwide including our poison-ivy universities. Even Biden is on Hamas’ side.

No, you’re right. Kill 1,200 Israelis and be heralded
globally days later.

Missed this comment earlier, going through comments to me.
