All I can say is... Stay strong, Bibi, and get even stronger and more aggressive. Do not cave in to the American agenda.
Over the years I have had many doubts & disappointments over Netanyahu's resolve but in this war, I've seen him grow a pair beyond other times. His press conference yesterday was exemplary and towards the end he metaphorically flipped off anyone who suggested Israel leave the Philadelphi corridor.
Has Israel joined the dark side of wokeism? My Lord it pains me to say that.
It seems as if they have a lot of arrows in their quiver with no will to use them. I have always been a strong supporter of Netanyahu and the brave men and women who protect their country. To me, it’s been the strongest, the bravest and best guardians of Israel. And yet….
Please keep expressing your opinions strongly. I find them very helpful in helping me keep my thoughts organized and not fly into an absolute fit of rage. Turn that sand into glass and walk away.
I, too, am wondering why Netanyahu is taking so long. I have advocated the Fort Drum solution. Not the Ft. Drum in New York State, the small place just of Corregidor that looked a lot like a ship. During WW2, Corregidor, in the Philippines, was the next to last place to surrender to the Japanese. Ft. Drum was the last, being a very tough nut to crack. The Japanese were impressed, and made sure they had it well manned when the Americans came back near the end of the war. The Japanese figured they could hold out a very long time, and make US forces expend vast resources taking it. But the US Navy had other ideas. The moved a fuel ship nearby, and pumped fuel into Ft. Drum. It didn't take long. Fuel and fumes were ignited, killing everyone inside. One day was all it took, not the months the Japanese figured on. The same technique can be used on the tunnels of Gaza. Heck, it might take TWO fuel trucks. That will end it. So get moving Netanyahu. The prisoners are dead or will be shortly, after close to A YEAR of torture and murder. Get it done. Then let those bastards demonstrate.
You've written about that incident before; it's a prime example of Gen. Sherman's adage, "War is Hell, and the more Hellish we can make it the sooner it will be over." BTW, readers should be advised that you clearly have the résumé to post on military matters!
My podcast is brand new, but is there any possibly you would join me? Reply to Tigs38@aol.com if you wish. I have an idea you are a walking encyclopedia!
Hamas has made it clear that they are not interested in a "cease fire" nor in a "two-state solution." Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt don't want them in their countries. Deport them all to Qatar and turn the land back to Israel as reparations for those Jews who were displaced from their homes in the ME and No. Africa.
There appear to be a VERY few non-jewish residents in Israel and the area who would participate in governing as minority stakeholders in the state of Israel...
As an outside observer with empathy the straits should be a part of the whole, and those tunnels "need to go." Imho
Indeed. Arabs and Druze have reps in the K. I don't know the percentages, but modern liberal sensibilities claim diversity without backing the true action of the literal meaning behind the concept.
Rare to encounter a 'Stu'. My Dad was a 'Stu' for a bit, before moving on to his full name.
Adore your truths. Wish you would completely, Go-There-All-Stu !
Dad would Go-There, using horrid language, . There is that, in honor of a precedent with your name !
Thought my Dad a lone duck. Hardly. Saw, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Santini , knew Dad's 'Stu', not a lone duck. Dad was an Air Force test pilot, then NASA, fertile ground for any 'Stu'.
'Glad to have you aboard; Thanks for the kind words.
My given name is "Stuart," but I decided long ago that "Stu" is less formal and more approachable. And in Sales I believe it's best to have a less-formal, more approachable name. And it's what my friends call me.

I agree with you, Stu, and wish that the Israeli government would act like Samson and take out the Philistines that still infest Gaza.

I appreciate the kind words. However, I am not going to be able to join you in this effort.
From your keyboard to God's screen...

My understanding is that more than 1/5 of Israel's citizens are non-Jews. And there have been Arabs and Druze serving in the Knesset since 1949.
Indeed. Arabs and Druze have reps in the K. I don't know the percentages, but modern liberal sensibilities claim diversity without backing the true action of the literal meaning behind the concept.
True in USA too.
Campus demos prove the lack of knowledge, sadly.
Amen.
Like your Stack o' Stuff Stu.

Perhaps you've been needing a nudge ?
Go there, Stu !
