[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
The New York Times insists that if Israel rejects the Bidenites’ advice to pull out of Gaza, it does so at its peril: “NYT admits US officials were wrong about the IDF in October, and wrong about Rafah, but thinks they are right now,” Elder of Ziyon, August 15, 2024:
So these officials were completely wrong in October. They were also wrong about Israel’s taking Rafah, which they now admit is exactly what destroyed Hamas’ supply lines from Egypt – and cost far fewer casualties thna they had confidently predicted.
By ignoring warnings from the Americans not to seize Rafah because of worries over civilian casualties, the IDF managed to kill a great many terrorists who had fled to the southernmost city in the Strip both from Gaza City and from Khan Yunis. Its control of Rafah has also made it easier for the IDF to control the Kerem Shalom crossing and to seize the Philadelphi Corridor, control of which has allowed the IDF to locate and destroy many tunnels bringing smuggled weapons from Egypt into Gaza.
But the US wants to send a message to Israel, and the New York Times is more than happy to do their bidding:
William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, is due in Qatar on Thursday. Brett McGurk, President Biden’s Middle East coordinator, has headed to Egypt and Qatar. Amos Hochstein, a senior White House adviser, landed in Lebanon. One of the messages the officials are expected to deliver is that there is little more Israel can accomplish against Hamas.
Which is the entire point. This article isn’t reporting; it is a mouthpiece for Biden administration talking points.
If you look at what Israel has actually been doing, you would see that its success is not diminishing, but increasing. As it gathers more intelligence from captured terrorists and taking materials it discovers, it is getting more and more accurate than when it started….
Consistently, Israel has gotten better and better at targeting the terrorists. The entire reason that the Palestinians made up huge casualty lies about the airstrike on the Al Taabin school is becase [sic] it was a triumph of intelligence, taking out over 30 terrorists gathered in the mosque – a proportional attack by any definition of the term under international law….
In its latest statement on the airstrike, the IDF has now identified by name 38 Hamas terrorists killed at the command-and-control center functioning inside the Al Tabin school. That means in that operation at most 55 civilians were killed, and the ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths was 55:36, or 1:5:1, an unheard-of ratio in the annals of warfare.
Many Hamas commanders, and leaders of its “political” wing, too, are being systematically eliminated by the IDF. Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’ “political wing,” was recently blown up in at a Tehran guesthouse. Hamas’ military commander in Gaza, Muhammad Deif, was killed on July 13. A deputy commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Marwan Issa, was killed in March. And dozens of other high-ranking Hamas combatants have also been killed, as the IDF continues its relentless campaign of targeted assassinations.
Those in Washington who predicted last October that an Israeli invasion of Gaza to destroy Hamas would not succeed were proven wrong. Those who then insisted that the IDF should refrain from entering Rafah because it could not possibly evacuate more than a handful of its estimated one million inhabitants were proven wrong again. In May, the IDF managed in a matter of weeks to move 950,000 people out of the city.
Now the Bidenites are urging Israel to end its war in Gaza because, they claim, there is not much more of Hamas to destroy, and the IDF needs to avoid further civilian casualties. Neither is correct. Though the IDF has had a stunning success in dismantling Hamas, killing at least 17,000 of its combatants, there remain roughly the same number who, if not seriously wounded, are still capable of fighting, and they need to be smashed as a fighting force even if they cannot be entirely eliminated. As for civilian casualties, in the last three months Hamas has continued to claim roughly 38,000-39,000 casualties, as usual without distinguishing between civilians and Hamas operatives. The IDF has over the past nine months honed its ability to minimize civilian casualties, having ever greater success in warning people away from places about to be targeted, by making greater use of precision weapons, and by relying less on airstrikes and more on ground troops in its operations.
When Hamas recognizes reality, and agrees to the deal that Israel now is willing to accept, this war in Gaza will stop, and the IDF can turn its full attention to much more threatening enemies — Hezbollah and its puppet-master Iran. The IDF high command has not forgotten the Talmudic injunction: “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.”
Peace is a dependent variable. One can never “work for peace.” directly. Rather, other factors conspire to thwart peace or intersect to produce it.. It would appear that the O’Biden-Harris administration want Hamas to survive, leaving Israel with continued confrontation with Hamas, Hizbollah, and Iran. With enough external pressure perhaps Israel will become a dependency or disappear entirely. In the end, peace would strengthen Israel, slowing the arrival of its subservience. Such subservience can only be purchased at the price of the suffering of the Jews. Is that anti-Semitism or what!
Never take advice from a delusional old fool
Nor from someone who wants you dead.
Israel must take out its true enemies arming and funding Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, …Iran and the Biden administration!
20, 40, 60 and 75 years ago little sweet Gazan baby boys, indoctrinated with hate from birth, grew up to be rapists and murderers. So will the little boys in Gaza today.
Even Egypt and Jordan refused to take these animals for the threat they pose to their own rule.
K i l l ’em all Israel.
Despite the inflated tally of Gaza war casualties, its population today could well be *higher* than it was the day Israel entered Gaza, because their fertility rate is that high. From about 325,000 in 1967 when Israel first entered Gaza, to roughly 2.1 million today, an unsustainable number absent high levels of foreign aid.
The press doesn’t tell the same numbers from the islamic cowards that attacked innocent women and children. I believe the ratio was 1200:0 compared with 55:36. Proportionality my ass.
let’s talk peace and cessation while the enemy rebuilds for further attacks instead of continue to pumble the enemy until they have no one left alive to fight or those who are weary from fighting throw in the towel
What the demonic possessed world does not get is Israel’s Motto: NEVER AGAIN means just that!
I have lived with antisemitism my whole life in USA and mostly in California.
It has surfaced like insects out of the walls since 10-7-2023 – the world is embolden to spew their demonic hatred and prejudice and Jews stand in the way to other ethnicities on where to vent hate and ignorance for one’s own plight instead of learning how to get the best out of being a USA or free world citizen where capitalism abounds!
Maybe Israel would give more credence to US military counsel if it was buttressed by a record of success. Seriously, would anyone take financial advice from someone with a record of investment failures. From the beginning, the US was flying in military advisors and other security officials to tell Israel how it should fight this war, sometimes adding an implicit “if you want continued US support”. It’s significant Israel managed to skirt US admonishments to succeed by doing it their way.
You cannot make peace with people who are taught from birth to want to kill you, are happy to die to kill you, celebrate when they die killing you, and promise to keep killing you so they can celebrate some more when they die killing you.
All you can do is kill them first before they die killing you.
That is the sad but Politically Incorrect Truth.
For thousands of years people all over Europe and the Middle East slaughtered, persecuted and expelled Jews as they pleased, secure in the knowledge that the Jews, stateless and powerless, could do nothing to defend themselves.
Jews lived at the mercy of the people of whatever place they happened to be.
If the establishment of the State of Israel means anything, it must at least mean this:
No one gets to kill Jews for free anymore.
Why in the World would ANY country engaged in a War for Survival, listen to another country that has NEVER WON A WAR SINCE WWII!
“DEATH TO HAMAS”.
God Bless Israel.
Just finishing up my breakfast now, and pondering something about two of the items formerly resting upon my plate. The animals providing the eggs and the bacon have similar roles in one sense, but radically different roles in another. The hen was involved, the pig was fully committed.
Jumping to he mideast, the US might be involved, but the IDF are fully committed. It maters llittle to the US whether Israel prevails or succumbs. It matters everything whether IDF prevail or are prevailed upon.
The IDF have finally awakened to this truth and have made their unalterable decision.
I wonder how many Jews/Israelis here in the US will perceive this situation, and vote appropriately. Recent history does not bode well in this situaion.
The other reason why the IDF is successful in sparing civilians is that they have now established a reputation for good faith amongst the Gazans, who know that the IDF does what it says it will do, so it is worth their while to comply with instructions.
God Curses those who curse Israel. Genesis 12:3 applies….Hope America will wake up. ABANDONMENT WRATH IS GOD’S FINAL WARNING.
