I don’t think General Charlie Brown became CJCS because he is a pol-mil genius strategist….

“C.Q” is a DEI poster boy..and a knob.

He needs to concentrate on promoting the trannies and queers, and let the real men and women of the IDF do what they do best..

Joe is pursuing a schizoid policy on the ME. Give the Israeli's weapons, etc ... THEN, with enough gall to choke the whole stable, inundate the ‘media’ with the most shameful, anti-Israeli, loudmouth jingoism the world has ever seen !

Liberals CANNOT comprehend the ‘leadership’ thing. What an embarrassment!

The longer Israel waits the worse it is for them. The opposition to doing what needs to be done grows every day. The window is closing

Netanyahu should ignore Washington and keep on his current course.

What makes us ( the US) the expert that should be giving advice? Our success in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan?

I suspect that the CIA has been running a ‘color revolution’ in Israel since the Obama days.

It is the plan where Gazans hang on a C-130 as it takes off. Excellent plan tried in Afghanistan.

Civilian to Combatant casualties in Gaza are apparently the lowest of any war in history.

Lowest of any urban war in recent history.

Caroline Glick interviews Col John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute

Memo to the 'Experts': Stop Comparing Israel's War in Gaza to Anything. It Has No Precedent

Very good interview and article by Col John Spencer. No doubt about it; the IDF has done remarkably well, both in protecting civilians and taking out terrorists.

“Probably most American Jews want Netanyahu to lose.”
No such thing as American Jews.
They are all Democrats. Jewish religion is the furthest thing from their reality. God has a history of punishing his people when they ignore him. Just so you don’t think I’m talking out my ass, My great grandfather was a Polish Jew
and I am a very old school Lutheran Christian.

Any option that has Hamas or any wanna-be terrorists intact or in power in the end would be an immediate no-starter for me. I believe I’d tell Brown to worry about his own problems and leave Israel alone. They know what they need to do.

I believe there are two main issues.

First, Israel has an agreement with Egypt going back to the 1970s that they will not put more than X amount of troops within a couple miles of the Gaza/Egypt border. This goes back to the Bagan/Sadat/Jimmy Carter Peace Agreement.

Secondly, the remaining hostages are in the tunnels being used as human shields protecting Sinwar and the remaining military leaders of Hamas. So, if they go in a kill Hamas, they will most likely end up killing the remaining hostages too.

It is frustrating to watch because it seemed like the IDF was constantly gaining ground in southern Gaza and then they came to halt. The two reasons above were what I understood the reason for the halt.
