Israel is now engaged in the fourth war it has had to fight for its survival. The three others were fought in 1948, 1967, and 1973. In addition, there have been a half-dozen other campaigns the Israelis have had to fight against the terrorists of the PLO, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The IDF soldiers, their ranks increased with the addition of 360,000 reservists, have been fighting up and down the Gaza Strip, a hellishly difficult theatre of war — that is, urban warfare in one of the most densely-populated places on earth. Israel’s mortal enemy, the terror group Hamas, has built a vast network of terror tunnels deep underground, where its operatives are able to store weapons, and to both move around, and live inside, that warren of tunnels that are between 350 and 450 miles in total length, and built at an average depth of 50 meters.
Hamas also stores weapons, rocket launchers, command and control centers, as well as personnel, above ground, in and around civilian infrastructure, including schools, mosques, apartment buildings, and hospitals. While trying to root out Hamas combatants from their lairs which have been deliberately placed among civilians, the IDF has at the same time been trying to minimize civilian casualties by a campaign, unprecedented in scope and in kind, of warning Gazans away from areas, or from buildings, about to be targeted. In this effort, the IDF has dropped 14 million leaflets, made two million prerecorded calls and 72,000 regular phone calls. Meanwhile, Hamas has tried to prevent Gazans from leaving the same areas and buildings the IDF has warned them about. The terror group wants more civilians to die; their deaths are a propaganda boost for Hamas, that can then paint the IDF as ruthless and uncaring about the welfare of civilians, when the truth is quite otherwise.
The IDF has performed spectacularly, both in neutralizing Hamas operatives, and in managing to minimize civilian casualties. Of the 28,000 deaths that Hamas had reported by mid-February — and as is its wont, not distinguishing between civilians and combatants — between 10,000 and 12,000 were, according to the IDF, members of Hamas. Even if we take the lower figure — 10,000 Hamas deaths — this means that the total number of civilian deaths cannot be more than 18,000. The civilian-to-combatant ratio of deaths is then 18:10, or 9:5. The UN has said that in all the wars since World War II, the average civilian-to-combatant ratio has been 9:1. The U.S. military did much better in the Iraq War, when there were 174,000 casualties, only 39,900 of whom were combatants, resulting in a civilian-to-combatant ratio of 7:2. But in the Gaza War, the IDF has achieved a ratio of 9 civilians killed for every 5 combatants; 9:5 is far less than what any modern army has achieved, in any war. This needs to be kept in mind.
Now we come to Joe Biden, who wants to reward the Palestinians, who have voiced their overwhelming support for Hamas’ attack on October 7, by handing them a state. Why do they deserve a state? They don’t. The Arabs have 22 states, and the creation of a 23rd one, sharing the tiny space “between the river and the sea,” would be a mortal threat to the only Jewish state. But Biden can’t get out of his head the notion of a “two-state solution” which will somehow “bring peace” to the region. Since its very name contains the word “solution” many, like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan, simply assume that’s what it must be. It’s sleight of word.
In fact, forcing Israel to be squeezed back within the 1949 armistice lines — which is what the Arabs will insist on, and Biden looks ready to satisfy them — would not sate, but whet, Arab appetites. Without the minimal strategic depth that control of Judea and Samaria (a/k/a the West Bank) — and especially, possession of the Jordan Valley — provides, Israel will not have the “secure [i.e. defensible] and recognized boundaries” that, according to UN Security Council Resolution 242, it has a right to possess. After all the wars that have been thrust upon it, doesn’t Israel deserve to retain defensible borders? And even more important, shouldn’t Israel be allowed to keep the borders that the League of Nations envisaged for the future Jewish state, when it decided that the territory of Mandatory Palestine should include all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea?
We should be telling Coffee Cup Anan to Get Lost
biden is an imbecilic empty suit . nothing has changed from the moment he stepped into politics . americans have very short memories borne out by the fact he has lied about everything for years and the american electorate are ok with that . the MSM are complicit in supporting his fraudulent election and his feckless regime . they know they still have to push the dead horse of the fictional 2 state because they would have to admit that their foreign policy has been wrong the whole time and both sides are addicted to the same worn out lie .
The point is not if a Palestinian State is deserved or not but that the Palestinians and the supporters don’t want Israel to exist. No Palestinian wants a two State solution; they want it all.
Arab immigration was encouraged by the Ottoman Empire, and, at the time, Muslim entrants had the upper hand whilst Jewish people had to live by the dhimmi regulations (which included being routinely beaten when paying the jizya tax). The Arabs’ descendants would, very naturally, like matters to revert to that state of affairs, minus the Ottomans.
You left off the 1956 100 hour war, that Israel joined because of the Egyptians directed terrorism out of Gaza
Many decades ago the the Langfam (or Langfan) family of Manhattan prepared a topographical model of Israel, Judea and Samaria. No one who understood the model could argue that Israel could ever withdraw from the hill country that overlooked coastal Israel. Ben Gurion airport could be shut down by an individual terrorist with a bunch of shoulder-fired missiles. The tall buildings in Tel Aviv could become useless hulks with a single artillery barrage.
Let’s be frank here. After withdrawal, the ability for Israel to defend itself would be eliminated and Israel would become a supplicant for its moment-to-moment existence, denpendent upon the whims of world leaders who can turn on a dime and decide Israel has no inherent right to exist. Israel’s dependence is indeed the goal of any Western leader who seeks Israel’s retreat. An independent Israell is a loose cannon ball rolling around on the deck of the Globalist ship.
The same people who demand a “two state solution” insist that it is a moral good – the height of virtue in fact – for Muslims to leave their home countries and for other countries to take them in.
Isn’t it funny how none of them want the poor “Pallys” to do that? *Those* Muslims have to stay right where they are, and there is no demand placed upon any of their co-religionist neighbours to take them in.
Where is the outcry for Egypt to open their borders and take in the poor brown-skinned refugees?
There was a UK politician – not Lord Cameron – who claimed that we couldn’t accept Palestinian refugees because of their “right of return”. As far as I can see, the ancestors of the Palestinians treacherously deserted Israel and left her to the mercy of the surrounding Arab states in 1948, and then expected street parties to be organised to celebrate their return. It is interesting that no one suggests that the Jews who were expelled by Arab states in 1948 might have a right of return, or at any rate, of commensurate compensation.
Egypt is complaining about the consequences of Israeli victory at Rafah. This was all set in motion by Egypt’s attack in 1948.
Calling it a two state “solution” doesn’t make it one.
You can stand in the garage all afternoon, but it doesn’t make you a car.
If the world leaders had any moral sanity, they would be making every effort to *reduce* the number of Islamic states in the world, not increase them.
How many people nowadays are even aware that the original martyrs of Gaza were 60 Christians, who were imprisoned, tortured and murdered by the Islamic invaders / oppressors / occupiers / colonisers back in the 630s?
How many people today are aware that North Africa was not Islamic until the Muslims armies invaded and enslaved hundreds of thousands of the Berbers (the indigenous people)?
How many people today are aware the the Islamic Barbary States abducted, imprisoned and enslaved hundreds of thousands of white Christians from all over Europe? (This went on for hundreds of years!)
If anyone is an invader, an occupier, an enslaver, an oppressor, a coloniser – it is the Mohammedan!
Turkey and Istanbul should be added to the list. Mohammed also had his own version of apartheid via his dhimmi and jizya regulations, and was no stranger to genocide.
Biden doesn’t “think” anything; Obama does all the thinking in the worm presidency.
When you put a diseased brain on autopilot it shifts directly to its default position—antisemitism.
For leftoxenomorphs the fakestinians are less important than the crickets they want us to eat.
But leftoxenomorphs hate Israel and hate Jews with a vengeance.
BTW, many leftoxenomorphs are JINO (Jews-in-name-only, born Jews, regressed out of humanity by leftoxenomorphism also known as “SJW”, a kind of modern day orcs)
And they hate Western civilization and humans with a vengeance.
And they are playing a very complicated and long term game against human civilization.
They couldn’t care less for a fakestinian state.
They want Israel destroyed and non-JINO Jews exterminated.
They want it as another brick in the edifice of the religion of leftoxenomorphism and the dystopian globalist 4th Reich they are after.
They want it as a destructive mark of shame on Western civilization. Another one conducive to the eventual (not that far away) utter destruction of Western civilization.
Most Westerners have not a clue of the game they get to play as ignorant peons.
Within Israel itself there is a considerable part of the population of leftoxenomorph-JINO and a Deep State wholly penetrated by Israeli leftoxenomorph-JINO and as that they are suicidal and would adopt policies that would end up with the destruction of the State of Israel.
Let us hope the Israeli right will manage to triumph over the leftoxenomorph traitors that betrayed Israel leading to and on, Oct7, resist the hate of the AINO-Venezuerican leftoxenomorphs, the corruptocracy of the bideT mafia and all the modern attempts at finishing the Holocaust.
“And even more important, shouldn’t Israel be allowed to keep the borders that the League of Nations envisaged for the future Jewish state, when it decided that the territory of Mandatory Palestine should include all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea?”
Absolutely! So why does Israel REFUSE to promote this: JORDAN is the “palestinian” state.
Totally. And if Israel is not legitimate, then Jordan, established with the same international backing, isn’t either.
Biden and the democrats get their instructions from satan.
Following in the footsteps of Mohammed, who was a warlock channelling a familiar spirit, not a prophet. The hadiths state that the entity that dictated the Koran crushed Mohammed’s chest, which is typical of trance mediumship.
And all those brainless morons marching against Israel are working for Satan and will join him for eternity.
What ‘Palestiniens’? There are and there never were any ‘Palestinians’ and those who pretend to be Palestinians know it well. And not only them, but their leaders:
Fathi Hammad, Hamas Minister of the Interior & National Security representing “the Palestinians”, addressing Egypt in 2012 to obtain more oil supply: “Brothers, there are 1.8 million of us [Arabs] in Gaza… Al Aqsa (The Dome of the Rock) and the ‘land of Palestine’ represent the spearhead for islam and the muslims. When we seek the help [of our muslim brothers] it is to continue to wage jihad… Allah be praised, we [“Palestinians”] all have Arab roots, and every “Palestinian” in Gaza and throughout “Palestine” can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere… Brothers, half of the “Palestinians” are Egyptians, the other half are Saudis. Who are the “Palestinians”?… They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, froom Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from upper Egypt, we are Egyptians, we are Arabs, we are muslims, we are a part of you.”
New immigrant student stating his nationality to the teacher: “I am Palestinian”
“Pardon?”
“Well, Syrian”.
I know I am not the only one who is sick and tired to hear the vocabulary invented by the KGB in the 60s to fool us being used not only in the official media, but by those on the web who know better. Please let’s call things and people by their proper names!
There are no Palestinians but Arabs – who can’t even pronounce the name of the state they claim to be theirs since the sound P doesn’t exist in Arabic. They pronounce it ‘Falestine’.
There is no West Bank, but Judea and Samaria.
Joe Biden is just showing his own ignorance when he talks about the ”Palestinian people.
For in reality, there is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”
History reveals that the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece. They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”
From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being.

Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”
Only after 1964 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”
The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land.
Indeed, there never was a “Palestinian state.”
PinocchiJoe China Biden has neither the stones nor the marbles to demand a “two state solution” to the China problem.
One word – and one word only.
MICHIGAN.
“But Biden can’t get out of his head the notion of a “two-state solution” which will somehow “bring peace” to the region. Since its very name contains the word “solution” many, like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan, simply assume that’s what it must be. It’s sleight of word”. No, no; it’s all an act and they all just do what they are told. If they had a brain, it would die of lonliness.
When will ya’ll dummy up. OBiden and that whole lot don’t know which way is up.All hthey do is whatever Obama, Schwab and Xi Ping whisper in their earpiece. Don’t know what they are stickin’ in ole Joe to keep him vertical, but must be pretty potent. (I heard he smells a little like Formaldehyde).

I think it is rather presumptuous to ask why Biden thinks the Palestinians deserve to have a state when there is little to no proof that Biden is capable of thinking. It should be obviously to anyone paying attention that the man’s brain is shot.
For most democrats and especially Joe Biden, thinking is a painful experience that they’d rather not engage in. For Joe, thinking of taking a nap and waking up and eating ice cream is a far less painful and more pleasant experience. He has to preserve the few functioning brain cells he has left for the simple tasks which are getting harder for him to remember how to do.
For what it’s worth:
I have an ongoing bet with a friend that one of theses days, Joe Biden is going to be standing at a podium blathering away when he suddenly stops, grunts a few times and instead of farting, he mindlessly relieves his bowels in his shorts.
The man eats way too much ice cream which more often than not, tends to act as a laxative for someone his age.
