I’m for peace. But Israel can’t have peace if Hamas exists. (Hamas in word & deed is committed to destroy Israel & kill jews.) Hamas killed 1,400 innocent Israelis. Gruesomely.
Jews have always been scapegoats, evidenced by all the antisemitism in the US & around the world.
@HenshiG
Unbelievable the amount of time and energy and money spent on tunnels. Basically working full time all these past 15 years just building them. Israel ought to use tunnel busting bombs to destroy them all. The hostages are what is preventing IDF from acting now.
@academic_la
This was another great video: Hamas appears to be splintering due to the quality & escalation of IDF operations in Gaza. Israel should let Hamas self destruct. IDF must keep the military pressure on. And under no circumstance should Israel agree to let Hamas join the PLO.
@academic_la
Palestinians have been offered a state several times and it’s been rejected. Gazans should not be allowed to return to their homes until ALL hostages are returned. It’s heartbreaking to see those 4 young girl hostages sexually abused. Gazans must force Hamas to release them.
@academic_la
Sad, but this is reality of war. Hamas has done much worse. Hamas could end warning releasing hostages & surrendering. But it refuses. IDF has done more than any other army to seek to minimize incidental civilian casualties. IDF must continue to fight war till war goals attained.
Palestinians/Gazans —they are such a hot potato —destabilizing force, that neither Egypt nor Jordan or any of its other Arab states wants them. Yet Israel is being called upon by the U.S. to let them have their own state?! No!

If Palestinian children have seen their parents dead, it’s because of what Hamas did, not Israel. Hamas is the cause for all the sorrow of the Palestinian people. Hamas doesn’t care at all about their welfare. Hamas only cares about killing and death and destruction.
@Khaledhzakariah
Israel can handle Hamas. But U.S. should take action against the head of the snake, Iran, & aid Israel efforts against Hezbollah, which has a more formidable military than Hamas. It’s in U.S. interest to have peace in Middle East. With Iran, Hezbollah & Hamas, there’s no peace.

Sadly the refrain ‘history repeats’ rings true. Except, now these pro Palestine flag bearers & inviters of Jew hate & Israel-hate do not have the government apparatus to carry out their genocidal desires. And Israel now exists (with nuclear strength). So we can say, Never Again!
Kfir Bibas was abducted from his home by Hamas on October 7th. His 1st birthday is today. Perhaps all those people who have been so vocal about this conflict can ask why Hamas don’t simply release him now?
This interview reflects what we’re seeing 👀 & hearing👂regarding large wave of antisemitism in Britain. Victim blaming, Jew hatred & celebration of the 10/7 massacre. It’s taking place on streets & in Universities. And not just in Britain. U.S. & Canada too. Time to fight back!

Caving in to these demands means:

2) Hamas remains in control & can do 10/7 again.
3) continued indoctrination of Gaza youth to destroy Israel;
4) future terrorists will kidnap hostages 4 leverage.
5) release of ☠️ prisoners = threat to millions.

Well said. Too many ignoramuses don’t have knowledge of Jewish history. My great grandparents escaped the pogroms in Ukraine & other Eastern Europe countries in late 1800s/early 1900s & came to the U.S. to survive. American & Israeli Jews have been persecuted throughout history.
The problem I see here is the same problem I see with too many people on X or in the real world who simply lack the knowledge of the full true history behind where we are today, and the most rudimentary understanding of the people Israel is fighting against.

Israel should: 1) enter Rafah & take the Philadelphi crossing; 2) stop fuel into Gaza strip; 3) prevent humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza Strip until Hamas surrenders or hostages returned; 4) increase tunnel-busting bombs to go after senior leadership & Sinwar.

Hadar is one of 1200 plus reasons why the

: Israeli needs to dump tunnel busting bombs & apply as much military force as possible and cut off all aid /fuel to make Hamas beg for a ceasefire that will release all the hostages.

They (Hamas & their Gazan/Palestinian people, many of whom aided and abetted, revel in death, martyrdom and believe in a better afterlife. These are sick in the head people we are dealing with—barbaric murderous animals not humans).
Why isn’t Hamas begging for a ceasefire now ? It was eager for the first ceasefire last month. The likely reason is the increased aid coming in that Hamas is siphoning off. Aid needs to stop until Hamas agrees to release all the remaining hostages.
Good analysis. Israel cannot end the war, withdraw all its forces, allow Hamas to stay in power, and only then rely on the “promise” of Hamas to release the hostages in stages, predicated on release of dangerous prisoners. Hamas can’t be trusted.

If true, that the Biden admin is supporting a ceasefire without release of hostages, then that is a huge disappointment. Israel must go into Rafah and finish the job. The fact it hasn’t yet indicates that U.S. is holding the leverage with respect to military equipment and $$$.
Good interview. Need hostages asap, with reasonable ratio of number of prisoners released. Maybe release prisoners to other countries? Must not give up on main goals: demilitarizing Hamas organization & new governance. Must prevent any temporary ceasefire from becoming permanent.
