Is Israel Losing Control of its Land?

Peloni:  This would have been far more interesting conversation if they had brought someone from the Left who wasn’t from JStreet, as they might just as well have brought Sinwar to the debate.  Regardless of this, Nadia and Maurice are excellent.

  1. TED_Thanks for the answer. However Gallant is tied hand and glove to the US State Dept and I still think That he’ll try to sabotage Israel’s Wae effort. He hasn’t been alone there are many conspirators likely taking pay from the US. It’s not HIS agenda but the US’s.

    But I belIeve you’re right, the PM has no ready replacement although if you think he really has. you had a post or an article showing tha tmilirary defenc Mins fouled it u nearly 100% whilst the ost successful ere complete civilians.
    Since Entebbe there have been less than a handful of “out of the box” successes, and before that there was the universal admiration that one never knew what Israel unexpectedly would pull off next.
    Military training is like boxing training. reactions and actions become second nature and are completely predictable.

    Yhe Gaza war should havetakenm at msot a month. It should have been flattened from North to south, giving the Gazans enough time to get into Sinai.
    If Egypt objected Israel could have destroyed the barriers and Egypt would not have gone to war over such. I’ve been posting this for the past 10 years at least maybe longer. “Rolling barrages”, a la WW! was my main solution. I posted it a “thousand” times.

    So many lives lost, so much military hardware used up, so much turmoil for Israel’s southern and northern citizens. The hostages could have been home , at least 90% of them long ago. Hamas would have been scuttling around trying to think of somewhere to hide. The international enemies would havenot had time to get together to “condemn” Israel as usual.

  2. Hi, Peloni

    @Michael

    Most Jews here on Israpundit, don’t even believe the God of Israel exists.

    I don’t believe this is an accurate statement, but then again am persuaded by my own views on the topic. To be certain, your comment does not comport with my own beliefs, such as they are. In fact, the majesty and intricate design which is hidden in the sub-cellular level of all organisms, has always served to confirm rather than deny a belief in the existence of G_d, speaking for myself of course. Indeed, whereas I am a Secular Jew, I very much do believe in such a thing,

    I agree with you on this, Peloni. As for the others, I cannot say for sure, except in some cases which I won’t mention. Concerning the other matter,

    I wonder how many Jews actually believe that HaMelech HaOlam actually deeded the Land of Israel to the Jewish people.

    you will notice that I said nothing about “by heritage, by religious belief, by indigenous right, and by international law,”. I will leave those matters to those who take pleasure in fighting and arguing with one another.

  3. @Edgar
    There were 4 copies of the same post in the trash, but I don’t detect any difference between any of them, but I can release the other 3 if you want to confirm.

  4. TED- The post still is not found;
    You may have thought that the one you see it it, but this is a different one/.I posted twice.

    Add; Since Sa’ar refused the Def Min.post for reasons I still haven’t botherted to seek, do you think the PM will retain Gallant??

  5. I don’t know how we came to be talking about “The God of Israel”, as if there are other equally powerful Gods to be considered. There in fact is only “One” no matter what we call him, her or it.
    If this were not so, the meaning of “God” would be inconsequential. Furthermore, the “Devil” would be equally powerful.
    This gets a bit messy… Better to say nothing if we know nothing (including myself).

  6. MIkkelle-
    Who (or what) are you to decide whether Israeli and more sweeping, Israpundit poster believe in G-D or not. Your obsessive incredulous babble- perhaps the result of too many drugs in youth makes NO sense except to mark you as a heretic fanatic.

    If you were a biologist, or know something about it, you’ll know about life and how it reached a peak with Moshe who gave us the Torah, which we demean daily.”.
    If merely a biochemist then ….NAH……..!!

Just my own perspective of course.

    In any event regarding your comment,

    I wonder how many Jews actually believe that HaMelech HaOlam actually deeded the Land of Israel to the Jewish people.

    I would argue that if anyone has a right to the land of Israel, we Jews have the best, strongest and only legitimate claim to make such a claim – by heritage, by religious belief, by indigenous right, and by international law, this land is our own. We should not fall into the trap of considering one aspect of these claims as being persuasive enough to disregard the others, no matter how meaningful the religious aspect might be to many.

    To be certain, there is no other claimant who could make a better case than ours, and if it is to be a test of might as is once again becoming the real test of ownership of late, well, our troops stand ready to defend our claim to the land, come what may.
