After a Pearl Harbor or an Oct 7, the only ‘deal’ that could be considered with the perpetrators is their absolute surrender. Hamas however took hostages to force an Israeli retreat.
That’s what a ‘ceasefire’ always was.
And the proposed Hamas surrender deal is just that. While reports about the details are still coming in, the deal appears to be another variation of the Biden Hamas surrender deal, but with pressure being applied by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff who praised Hamas’ Qatari state sponsors.
The headlines tell one part of the story.

The media can tell all sorts of stories, but the Biden team clearly feels Witkoff is on the same page as they are.
“I think Steve Witkoff has been a terrific partner in this, and also President-elect Trump in making clear that he wants to see this deal go forward, and go forward before January 20th,” Blinken says in an interview with MSNBC.
I can’t think of a worse recommendation than this.
Any deal with Hamas is unacceptable. It destroys the moral and strategic credibility of Israel and America. And the only conceivable deal to be entertained would have been the deportation of terrorists in exchange for the release of hostages. Instead, this deal follows the Hamas demands of an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the border with Egypt and the release of thousands of Hamas terrorists in exchange for the release of some Israeli hostages.
It’s a moral and strategic abomination and anyone on the Trump team who had anything to do with it has demonstrated that they are incapable of standing up to terrorists and protecting America’s interests.
America doesn’t need a “terrific partner” with Tony Blinken or Qatar. That’s not America First. It’s Terrorists First.
My biggest concern with Trump II is: has he learned from his mistakes?
I hope we’re not in for a letdown. There is no room left for it.
So I joined FPM+ and I see my email is displayed. Now I can’t reverse it, can’t delete my post, and there is nobody to contact.
What the hell, maybe I’ll get a new client, on top of all the spam.
I don’t see your email.
OK. Thanks, Daniel.
I do. It’s above his original comment!
That is the critical question. So far, these reports are unconfirmed, and we certainly cannot trust the Democrat media, but if Trump has actually accepted the point of view that a bad deal with Hamas is better than no deal, he’s made a serious blunder..
On the other hand, the most reliable report I could find (in the Jerusalem Post) did not have any details, which leads me to think that Blinken is making a false claim about Trump in essence joining him in pressuring Netanyahu to surrender in order to bluff Netanyahu. Blinken certainly cannot be trusted – he’s a lying weasel – so Trump’s support for Israel may be much stronger than Blinken is implying.
Unfortunately, it appears that this bad deal is now a reality – I guess I was too optimistic.
Trump has lost the support I felt for him for 10 years with this deal. He has ruined his presidency and legacy and ruined much more.
Who is he? I thought I kind of knew. I was mistaken.
Is there no one who is not anti Israel and not anti Semitic who has his ear?
Well, when Trump yucked it up with Obama that seemed, like it might be a warning flare.
Russia is done.
China has a 5 or 10 year window to do anything like invade Taiwan
China is the 3rd biggest threat
Liberals are a large threat with their open borders, electoral fraud, climate change and everything else.
they are the 2nd biggest threat.
The biggest threat is jihad we will start seeing more of it when Russia breaks apart.,
Agree.
I found that buddy buddy display with Obama disturbing too. “ Hey Trump I screwed Israel yuck yuck” “ “Wait until you see what I do next, Barak ”
I’m joking of course but I agree.
This deal can only embolden jihad around the world as well as Jew hate in the streets of USA.
I just don’t get it!
Sinwar was released in an earlier hostage deal, in 2011, with disastrous consequences.
Yep. By my reckoning, that Shalit deal easily cost over 2,000 Israeli lives – three wars and likely hundreds of terror attacks. One can only imagine how many will die after releasing thousands more terrorists and Hamas declaring victory.
Under no circumstances should Israel permit Gaza to be “self-governed.” Same goes for Judea and Samaria.
Arab terrorism will resume after any deal. That should be used as a reason to target the enemy, including all released prisoners and those the deal was made with.
Trump wants only the present conflict to end and for the hostages to be released. He believes he can negotiate the rest of it later on and achieve a lasting peace by isolating Iran, Hamas, etc. and bringing numerous Muslim nations to join the Abraham accords. He’s not down for the endless clash of civilizations. That’s not how I see it, but that’s a simplified version of how he sees it. To be fair, it’s not his fault Biden f’d it up so bad.
Apologists for this plan say Trump will reward Israel with something big. Total loss of deterrence is bigger yet.
The only ‘deal’ with Hamas is that a cease fire lasts for long enough for them to quickly surrender themselves with what’s left of the hostages. After which Hamas operatives will be taken into custody for subsequent fair trial. If President Trump wants a prolonged ceasfire with asymetrical excchange of Israeli hostages for Hamas prisoners then that will only reward evil and prolong the war. That scenario would be a disappointing and stupid move by Trump, insult and weaken Israel and diminish his power as the leader that we desperately need right now and for the future.
Since muslims are REQUIRED by their “religion” to lie to the infidels the agreement isn’t worth the paper it may be printed on! IF they release any LIVE hostages that will be good. I don’t have high hopes!
Is this a sign that Trump will betray Israel?
If the deal goes through we are using Israelis as human shields. Present deaths in exchange for in all likelihood more deaths
Since October 7th my heart has wept at the horrors inflicted upon our Jewish people in the nation of Israel. The first wind of duplicity and complicity came when IDF Deputy Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, was known to have disregarded intel from those soldiers manning the computers monitoring activity along the Gaza border with Israel. Their notifications of unusual, increased activity late on October 6th was dismissed; hours later the border was breached and the sadistic rape, mutilation, torture and purposeful murder of 1200 Jews had been completed and filmed by Hamas and their soldiers on GoPro cameras.
Within days the Shin-Bet and Mossad were excused having claimed to have no intelligence on Hamas’ plans to attack Israel. That was impossible!! Many in the upper echelons of Mossad, Shin-Bet and the IDF were avowed leftists and knowing that it seemed far more probable that they had willfully ignored intelligence. Again, the appeasement doctrine of leftist ideology reared its head and the dragon beast of secularism had pulled our people into a devastating pogram that included the Hamas trump card of hostage taking. Women already raped were paraded in clothes dripping with the blood of their violations and zip tied then transferred to trucks traveling back to Gaza as its residents cheered.the spoils and our women lived through the heartless humiliation.
The Israeli government was determined but the paradigm was the same: We have 251 hostages and EVERYTHING you do will be limited in order to get them back; just as it has been every other time
The hostages that remained alive would be their public relations advantage and a double-edge sword for Israel rendering their intelligent prosecution ultimately a net loss.
The left, the heinous activist Supreme Court and the countless Israelis who have repeatedly bludgeoned the Knesset with false crimes now sit, as hostages and prisoners are released, in a blood-filled bath with our dead soldiers and a country given in an eternal covenant by G-d Almighty, in shambles awaiting the next conflagration of impotence and all they need do is take hostages:
It is a Shanda (Yiddish for scandalously shameful) to our G-d, our Torah, our people and the many brave and courageous warriors who eventually gave their lives…for what???
