T. Belman. The only reason Biden is letting us destroy Hamas is to enable the PA to take over and to enable the formation of a Palestinian state. He knows that his “humanitarian corridor” will make Israel suffer more casualties. Like Kissinger , he wants Israel to “suffer a bloody nose” so she will be more pliable.
Unfortunately, Gallant and Bibi agree with his final solution. “The third phase will require the removal of Israel’s responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip, and the establishment of a new security reality for the citizens of Israel,”. Any daylight between them and Biden?
The only solution is to drive the Gazans into Egypt or at least into the south 20% and to annex the rest. In 1948, the Arabs fled and after the war, Israel refused to let them come back. The same must happen now.
Nuts: Israel is cautioned to do no harm to “innocent” Gazans.

I hope I don’t come across as being angry.
For what Hamas did to my People, I guess it’s okay to be sad, horrified, dismayed…but not angry. As the Rebbe says, all other nations may fight to win, but only Jews must turn the other cheek. They must not be angry.
That was Biden, appropriately providing military equipment to the Israelis, then by degrees, backtracking and backsliding.
It didn’t take long for him to be reminded, by people like Chuck Schumer, that he is a Democrat, and that for Democrats, support for Israel is always conditional.
Therefore, the Israelis, fighting for their very existence, may engage the enemy…sending in its finest sons into the trip-wired, booby-trapped jungle that is Hamas/Gaza…where what awaits them are thousands of savages…armed to the teeth…ambushes prepared house to house, corner to, corner …BUT, they must not do so in anger.
Do not be blinded by rage, Biden warned the Israelis.
They must do no harm to those “innocent civilians.”
In time of war, what other nation gets conditions like this? Only Israel…and in all our US wars, millions of civilians died through collateral damage…because it was them or us.
So it is, nation to nation.
In rules of engagement, there is no prize for runner-up or second best, and the dead get no second chances.
Innocent civilians?
Those Gazans voted for Hamas. After every suicide bombing against Israeli civilians, they cheered and gave out candy…as they did after our 9/11.
The surveys have them supporting Hamas 87 percent. The rest were too busy digging tunnels.
There are no innocent Gazans.
Not even 10 as in Sodom, which was destroyed by sulfur and fire when there was no righteousness to be found; only wickedness.
How’s that for “blinded by rage,” justified.
Thus, every casualty in Gaza is the responsibility of Hamas and the assorted terrorists who turned lush greenery into garbage and terror cells.
Hamas started this. Israel must finish this with justified Biblical ferocity.
Did I hear this right?
Biden is sending them $100 million.
His heart bleeds for them who did this to us.
No, he says, the money will be going to those innocent civilians…of which there are none.
Not a chance that a jackpot like that will end up in the hands of Hamas. He is sure of this.
If that sounds crazy, wait, there’s worse.
He’s talking about a two-state solution up ahead.
Now that…that is insanity.
Somebody tell him that Sharon’s giving up Gaza WAS the two-state solution…and then this is what happens…. again and again and again.
That’s the worst part of it all. People never learn.

Quite so, or let them remain in the North of Gaza where they may reap the whirlwind of having supported the catastrophe known as Hamas. I have no empathy for these vile wretches, none whatsoever. They failed the test present in every democracy, namely of choosing wisely, and failing such wise choosings, they accepted their fate under a regime which abused them while murdered others. They collectively accepted or supported the regime which they themselves installed, and they should collectively be resolved to be rewarded for their infamy of having done so. They can go elsewhere or die in defense of the evil they sponsored, but they must not be allowed to remain on the land which is only soiled by the evil which is embodied by their persistence there. Either way, they must not be allowed to remain. As you quite wisely state,
There are no innocent Gazans. instead of killing all of them, send them to Turkey or Iran. Empty the Gaza Strip, bulldoze it, turn it into a golf and tennis resort with a world class beach , a world class cruise terminal , and and world class international airport. Erase Gaza from memory.
