My heart is breaking. What I surmised yesterday, but was afraid to write, has turned out to be true. I have never wanted to be wrong more than I do this morning. But I can’t pretend that “it will be OK,” as Israelis like to say.

force Egypt to open the Rafah crossing, and let the world community express its love for the Gazan civilians there, in the northern Sinai. Why is Egypt obligated to take 2 million Palestinians in this scenario when they've already said "no"?

Israel gets rid of Hamas or their future is uncertain. The Israeli demographics are not great, the only people having kids are the Haredim (mostly takers) and the Pals. Israel’s future is tough enough without the shaman issues, losing this war (anything short of wiping out Hamas is a loss) I think spells the end of Israel as a functional nation sometime in the relatively near future. (30 years or less)

Why aren’t they moving? The reason is that they have been ordered not to by the Americans. The reason is that Israel knows it cannot win a ground campaign in Gaza.
The October 7th debacle should have been an eye-opener for every Israeli. After seeing that, I'm honestly shocked that this guy has any confidence in the ability of the Israeli government to even get the mail delivered -- let alone invade a nest of snakes next door.

In World War II, the US Marines had to fight Japanese forces with large civilian populations at Saipan and Okinawa. The Marines did their best to save the civilian lives, but they still defeated the Japanese in savage combat.
Israel needs to take this same attitude. Save civilians when you can, but savagely and ruthlessly destroy Hamas.

Revenge is best served cold.
All the people red-faced screaming for immediate blood are borderline insane.
That is no condition to be in when going to war.

The author presents a good argument.

Yes. Not in the American news: Gaza is raining down hundreds and thousands of rockets, every day. It is incredible, really. Check Israeli news sources. At least it is their propaganda, and they tell the truth about the rockets. US MSM - nothing.
Now is the time to eradicate Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
To: Alberta's Child
It also doesn't help that his emotions (which are quite understandable and reasonable) is influencing the soundness of what he writes. (Because if all of the Palestinians are evicted from Gaza, there will be no peace agreement with Saudi Arabia.)
This line in particular: And if we are finished, the Jewish people are finished, too, perhaps for another 2000 years or perhaps forever.
Is Victor not aware that over half of the world's Jews live in the United States? Israel doesn't even have a third of the global Jewish population.

I think every American Jew who voted for Biden should take a moment for reflection. This is what Biden brought on. Not Biden alone, but Biden was an enabler.
To: MuttTheHoople
The Japanese were a people constrained on an island. Their Warri g cult had not spread worldwide.
You cannot eradicate warring Islam bent on global conquest by wiping out Hamas.

“Why is Egypt obligated to take 2 million Palestinians in this scenario when they’ve already said ‘no’?”
I think you’re jumping to conclusions. The author is talking about the land exit from Gaza at the Sinai border, which is the most accessible route for evacuation; it does not mean that Egypt alone has to take in and absorb alone all the Palestinians. It means that from there the evacuees can be more readily dispersed to wherever, and to whatever countries agree to take them in.

That’s a fact. History has shown it can be done.

Even though there are American hostages in Gaza, I say to Israel, STOP LISTENING TO OUR JOKE OF A PRESIDENT! Go into Gaza and get the job done, NOW. Any more deaths will be laid at the feet of Hamas and Iran.
