Israel’s vow to intensify Rafah operation strains support at home, abroad
The Hill ^ | 05/24/2024 | LAURA KELLY

JERUSALEM — The Israeli government is pushing forward on intensifying military operations against Hamas in Rafah, despite increasing international isolation, deepening tensions with President Biden and pressure from Israeli society critical of efforts to free hostages held in Gaza.

Israel describes the southern Gazan city of Rafah as the stronghold of the last pieces of Hamas’s conventional army, and it sees the border area with Egypt as a loose sieve where weapons and supplies flow freely to Hamas.

Biden has said he has a red line against an Israeli military operation in Rafah that causes wide-scale destruction and death for Palestinian civilians. But the administration, so far, has not described growing Israeli military operations in the southern Gaza Strip as crossing the threshold of wide-scale warfare.

They need to go full out and get this done. Quit pussyfooting around, the window is closing fast. Go for forgiveness not permission.

Laura Kelly is a leftist supporting wingnut who happens to have crotch tingles over Hamas fighters.

This is propaganda. The People of Israel, except for a vocal lefty minority, support the toatl irradication of Hamas. PERIOD.

Who is Laura Kelly talking to? Ceasers ghost? Kelly is a former staffer for the lefty rag, “Jewish Insider.”She has had a hate on for Bibi ever since she graduated from Fordham.She is one of thiose Bolshevik jews, like Adam Schiff, LArry NAdler, and Chuck Schumer who were born with the jealousy and complaint of their neighbors success , of Commies like their ancestors. (If you have a dollar it must be shared.)

Kelly spouts the leftist wannabe reality. The fact is that Israelis want Hamas irradicated, and lefty skunks like Kelly are just in the way.

"efforts to free hostages held in Gaza."

Democrats are thinking "Who cares, they're just Jews". Based on what we saw in Benghazi and Afghanistan, they think the same of Americans too.

My friends in Israel tell me that EVERYONE they know are begging for the IDF to finish the job and sift Rafah.

it doesn’t strain support at home,

it strains support (THAT The Jews NEVER ACTUALLY Had) among communists, nazis, and other antisemites abroad

but on that, you can’t lose what you never had

so... GO FOR IT, IDF! TERMINATE and EXTINGUISH all of the faketinian/arab/enemy threats... not just in the gaza district! all of them, let’s get the job done once and for all.

Don’t think it’ll matter anymore. The end of Hamas is near.

If Bibi withdraws and enters into a ceasefire and Hamas uses it to rearm and attack Israel again those same people demanding he withdrawal would probably be screaming for him to be fired or jailed.

Israeli society is okay with the 10/7/2023 ‘ incident’? Have they watched the videos? No? Guess they’re waiting for their train tickets.

I would believe the sHill as much as CNN or MSNBC. Friends of ours just came home from a 1 1/2 month trip to Israel. They said that Bibi had overwhelming support from the people of Israel.

I guarantee whatever "pressure from Israeli society" there actually may be, it is largely being directed by Obama/Jarret/Biden and funded by Soros.
