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

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?

Interesting read.

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.

Thank you for sharing. That is an informative and interesting article.

Israel Is Succeeding in Gaza - Western analysts think otherwise, because they ......

WANT ISRAEL TO FAIL......................

[Zhang Fei]

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.

Superb article. Tablet has brilliant jounalism.

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:

Yeah, cuz Bibi isn’t playing the hand wringing game. He admits mistakes are made in war and then goes in to win again.

None of those women and children killed yesterday would be dead if Hamas had stayed home on October 7th.

Islam has FOBs in America and throughout western civilization. They are called mosques.

[faithhopecharity]

IMHO, Israel is foolish protecting the socalled “civilian Arabs” most of whom supported, aided and abetted the 07 October mass-murder raid on Israel. no other country on earth has ever spent so much time and effort (and lives and money) protecting the enemy.

dumb as that is, the IDF is and will win in time

Excellent article, well worth the complete read. Thanks for posting.

COIN had one too many elements: the “build” part should play no part in war. After unconditional surrender, yes. Before that, no.

Spain, Norway, Ireland Formally Recognise Palestinian Statehood

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez led a group of European states in recognising Palestine as a state on Tuesday, saying the move was a step towards focussing “all our efforts to implement a two-state solution and make it a reality”.

Spain, Norway, and Ireland recognised Palestine as a state on Tuesday, making official by writ the announcement made by the group last week. The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, was the first among the group to move on the issue this morning, claiming his position was that giving Palestine international recognition would “help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace.”

He said Palestine includes “West Bank and Gaza connected by a corridor”, and has its capital and “legitimate government of the Palestine National Authority” in East Jerusalem.

[...]

And so it begins....

There were about 140 nations prepared to vote in favor of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations. Standing alone, the United States cast a veto in the UN Security Council against the otherwise unanimous decision to officially take up the issue which was certain to pass.

And now three European nations, two members of NATO, have formally recognized Palestine as a nation state. In beating up on Gaza for eight months, Israel has achieved the once unachievable, official intternational recognition of Palestine as a nation state.
