Some of the most astute writers and commentators who have weighed in on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire/hostage release/end of war issue that is on every media outlet’s front burner today and for the last few weeks is dead wrong about what they say is the foolish, dangerous, misguided, cave-to-the-terrorists, endanger Israel, empower-our-enemies choice that President Donald Trump and his negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have made in this delicate process.
“What is it about cutting off the head of the snake Trump doesn’t understand?” rails one critic who questions why Hamas has not yet been obliterated.
“What right does Trump have to repeatedly warn Israel against sovereignty decisions over at least a significant portion of 4,000-year-old ancestral Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria?” says another critic who admits he voted twice for President Trump.
And here is what the Green Prince — son of one of the founders of Hamas — tells Chris Cuomo at CNN he thinks about this bad “deal”:
Dozens — nay, hundreds — of other headlines echo everything from disapproval to horror to disgust and contempt.
Even P.M. Netanyahu’s brother-in-law, of all people, weighed in, saying that “for forty years already, I’ve fought against the moral abomination of releasing terrorists.”
Convenient Amnesia
Interestingly, those critics choose to forget that in his former life as a billionaire builder, then-Mr. Trump dealt routinely with the mob — the Mafia — the organization that essentially controlled all building in New York, and the...

Well if ham-ass screws this up, he has tacit approval to go in there and blow them all to hell.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump:

Currently Hamas is in a fight with the “Clans” in Palestine. There are many Palestinians who are nominally Muslim, but not Hamas supporters. They were underfunded, under-armed and did not have the zeal of the Hamas faction.
Watch now as the Abraham Accord Muslim nations clandestinely support the “clans” against Hamas.
Civilization in decline v 1900+ years of barbarian advancement.
“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.”

I will believe that when I see it. Meanwhile, Israel has not been allowed to actually win a war in 58 years, despite never starting one in the timeframe, and it looks like a repeat in this case.
It took 14 years before the cost of the Obama-Netanyahu Gilad Shalit Deal was finished being counted. “Don’t count your chickens...”
Well, looking back....Trump tends to keep his word.
They can take it to the bank.
I tend to trust him, and I am sincerely hopeful that he does exactly what you say he will. Right now, Hamas is not disarming, and is doing everything it possibly can to re-assert its control over Gaza (well, that part of Gaza that Israel hasn’t yet left, that is). This is an outright violation of the agreement, and the proper response is to give them a deadline to adhere to it, or else. I’m waiting for either Trump or Netanyahu to give that warning.
