Notice the subtle shift in terms when discussing Gaza. Now they’re being called Palestinians. Nice try.

Nice try. The war is in Gaza. Nothing is happening in the West Bank (other than a couple of skirmishes and raids)

Biden’s plan would be to kill a bunch of folks, and then leave all of the equipment and weapons in Rafah. Declare victory, while the locals are hanging off of the aircraft as they leave, and wave a signed agreement with Hamas to not invade again. Why can’t the Israelis see that?

At the same time, the IDF has methodically destroyed buildings to create a 1-kilometer buffer zone around the Gaza border—a measure that if enforced would indeed prevent a repeat of Oct. 7.

I think land mines would be effective there.

The author does a good job of being clear, the people of Gaza want Hamas. They are Hamas.

Like German Nazis, they need to be taught a lesson they and their next generations will not forget.

The long-term solution, convert or die, is not possible, hemmed in as it is by both internal and external constraints. Maybe in a free-for-all when US power in the region is non-existent, no outside power replaces it and Israel somehow becomes strong and self-sufficient enough economically and in terms of military hardware. Until then, a really comprehensive lawn-mowing operation is the best it can do.

And the destruction of entire terror clans is a good thing. Zealotry is at least partly hereditary. Part of the reason post-war Germany and Japan were tame? 12% and 5% of their populations were killed off, including the most fanatical soldiers, many of whom never got to pass on their genes.

Of course Israel is succeeding.

The Deity of the Israeli People has become extraordinarily active since last Oct 7th, YHWH now walks the earth in Judea Galilee and Samaria, as of old.

People forget that the Jewish People have been communicating with their G-d in the same language for over 3000 years.

This context has been forgotten in the West. America must not forget.We are a nation of G-d and will be free as long as we are so.

Of course the Israelis will emerge victorious....it can be no other way with the help of YHWH as of old when he protected the assembled tribes of Israel:

Nope, they need to explode a peaceful nuclear weapon 1000m below Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Rafah in order to destroy all tunnels in Gaza and announce to the world that IDF is serious about dismantiling the tunnels and Hamas. Once they are either buried or forced to fight above ground, the war will end quickly.

they have shown the flexibility to promote the next man up.

The IDF can take out Hamas commanders and half of their troops.

But that won't end the war.

Agree. Israel’s war aims are too small.

The correct strategic objective that will save the most number of lives on both sides over time is the total destruction of Gazan civilization and unconditional surrender. That has a chance of leaving a lasting impression on Gazans for generations, so that Grandmothers tell grandchildren for generations that fighting the Jews is ALWAYS a bad idea.

Like Germany with 12% of its population dead and all cities destroyed.

Like Japan with nuked cities.

Total war and mass destruction with unconditional surrerender ... WORKS!
