Things are changing. Clearly the Democratic Party not only tolerates but is infested with overtly antisemetic, anti Israel, pro terrorist people. They have significant influence if not actual control of the Party. Whatsmore the futile, inconclusive, economically debilitating war with Iran has alienated many Americans from Israel and has considerably weakened support for the Jewish state. If as expected the Democrats as now constituted take Congress in 2026, Israel, whoever rules it and whatever they do, will find itself increasingly isolated.

Gaza 25 miles by 4-7 miles....400 miles of tunnels....versus 2800 miles of road.

Sounds like our southern narco border, but busier.

Build a tunnel: all will be moved out of that square mile sector for 5 years. Run listening underwater drones through water lines to listen during night time.

Military Experts on Israel-Gaza

1. John Spencer

Background: Retired U.S. Army officer and urban-warfare specialist.

What he said: Spencer has argued that Israel has employed extensive measures to reduce civilian harm in Gaza, including warnings, evacuation notices, communications, and other precautions. He has described aspects of Israel's conduct as setting a new standard for urban warfare.

2. Sir John McColl

Background: Retired British Army general and former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe at NATO.

What he said: McColl said Israel was making extensive efforts to protect civilians and described measures including warnings and attacks being aborted when civilian harm was anticipated. He wrote that Israel was doing all it could to save civilians.

3. Gen. Mark Milley

Background: Former Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

What he said: Milley said Israel has the right to defend itself and emphasized the extraordinary difficulty of conducting military operations in Gaza's dense urban environment. He said civilian casualties and collateral damage are difficult to avoid under those circumstances.

4. Maj. Andrew Fox

Background: Former British Army officer who served from 2005–2021 and lectured at Sandhurst.

What he said: Fox has visited Gaza and met with IDF personnel. He has argued that Israel's military conduct complies with international law and has rejected allegations that Israel is committing genocide.

5. Geoffrey Corn

Background: Retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and Chair of Military Law at Texas Tech University.

What he said: Corn has argued that international humanitarian law permits incidental civilian casualties when attacking legitimate military targets, provided the relevant legal requirements, including proportionality and feasible precautions, are satisfied.

6. Lt. Gen. George Smith

Background: Retired U.S. Marine Corps general.

What he said: Alongside Geoffrey Corn, Smith argued that Israel consistently implements its legal obligation to avoid civilian deaths whenever feasible and emphasized the distinction between lawful incidental casualties and unlawful attacks.

7. Col. Richard Kemp

Background: Former British Army commander who led British forces in Afghanistan.

What he said: Kemp has repeatedly argued that the IDF takes exceptional precautions to prevent civilian casualties, stating that he has seen no other army take comparable precautions in the circumstances Israel faces.

8. Gen. Vincenzo Camporini

9. Gen. David Petraeus

Background: Former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and former CIA director.

What he said: Petraeus has said that Gaza presents exceptionally difficult urban-warfare conditions and described it as substantially more difficult than the urban combat faced by U.S. forces in Iraq. He has also said that civilian casualties are an inherent risk in such warfare.

10. Lt. Gen. David Deptula

Background: Retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general and military strategist.

What he said: Deptula visited Gaza and observed Israeli military operations and procedures. He wrote that what he observed was indicative of the IDF complying with the Laws of Armed Conflict.

Background: A group of retired senior military officers and military experts from several countries.

What they said: The group produced an extensive assessment arguing that Israel's military operations demonstrated overall compliance with the Laws of Armed Conflict and that substantial measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties.

Points Made in the Thread

Aizenberg on X: "🧵Many leading worldwide military experts affirm that Israel is complying with rules of war in Gaza – no war crimes, no genocide, no indiscriminate attacks. In sharp contrast all reports by NGOs UN ICJ ICC claiming war crimes never cite military experts. Review of 10 experts: 1/" Sep 12, 2024

I love Jack Keane. He never saw a war he didn’t like. Whenever I see him as a guest on Fox News, I know he’s going to recommend bombing the heck out of the other side.
