Intelligence Expert Aaron Cohen and Rabbi Chaim Mentz Discuss New Israeli Offensive

Peloni:  Cohen explains that full intensity of force which will be brought to bear will result in new intelligence which might lead to the rescue of some of the remaining hostages.  To this, Rabbi Mentz gives voice to the objection of placing Gaza back in the hands of the very same community of those who elected Hamas into power twenty years ago.  Also discussed is why Israel is never allowed to win.  6min video

    “Let me be clear: I totally stand by our people, our soldiers, and our leadership as they are defending us with strength, clarity, and a vision rooted in Jewish destiny in this war, overcoming the deep state powers in the military, legal establishment and media that have made it harder to fight this war. But today, I write this with a heavy heart, because Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom I’ve explained and defended many times, is making two critical mistakes that I wish he wouldn’t be making.

    Mistake #1: Entertaining Another Ceasefire Deal

    We are at war with a barbaric enemy that rapes, tortures, and burns Jews alive. The very idea of negotiating another ceasefire, that they use to rearm, regroup and booby trap areas previously cleared by our holy IDF soldiers, while our hostages are still held in tunnels and cages, sends the worst possible message: that our pain is negotiable. That our justice is delayed. That evil can outlast us and emotionally manipulate us, and incentivizes future kidnappings in the future.

    Publicly affirming that more ceasefires for partial deals are possible doesn’t pressure Hamas. That helps Hamas. What pressures Hamas is overwhelming military force and the moral conviction that we will never stop until every last terrorist is buried or in chains. You don’t win a war for your people’s future against an evil Islamonaz*i enemy by managing it. You win it by unleashing your will to victory.

    Mistake #2: Entertaining Another Arab Self-Rule in Gaza

    If we’ve learned anything from Oslo, from the 2005 Gaza expulsion, from every failed two-state fantasy, and pullout, it’s that giving Arab self-rule in any part of our land is a setup for the next massacre. Now there is talk, dangerously tolerated by Netanyahu, of letting the some “moderate” Arab-led structure govern Gaza “the day after.” Have we learned nothing? This is a 1,400+ year old religious agenda to destroy us, and giving any off them Gaza, again, ensures a future of conflict with the enemy population there, whether in 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. There is no deradicalizing a 1,400 year old agenda to destroy us, with the support of the Western progressive left.

    We can never allow Arab self-rule to take hold in Gaza. Ever again. The only solution that ends the war and ensures peace is for Gaza to be Jewish again, with the implementation of Trump’s emigration plan. That is the only deterrence. That is the only justice. That is the only reality.

    *This Isn’t About Vengeance. It’s About Survival.

    Netanyahu says he’s prioritizing the return of hostages. Of course we all want them home. But you don’t prioritize a few, as painful as it is, over the safety of millions, over the future of our people, over the prevention of the next October 7th. That’s not leadership. That’s short-term emotional politics masquerading as morality. And it’s tearing our unity apart. We must return to the Jewish moral leadership of the Entebbe and Sabena hostage rescues. Never negotiate with evil. Prioritize national security, to prevent future kidnappings as well.

    I say all this not as an enemy of the Prime Minister, but as someone who wants people to better understand the full picture of our situation.

    I am deeply disappointed by these decisions of Netanyahu. But I’m still hopeful, because I believe in the people of Israel, the soldiers of Israel, and in truth. And the truth is simple: there is no other way forward but total victory. No other way forward but Jewish sovereignty in all of our land. No other way forward but making Gaza Jewish again.

    Not because of ideology. Because of reality.

    We are in a war for our future and we will win, even if we the total victory is delayed due to these latest decisions.

    Netanyahu is the best Prime Minister we have ever had, but we are still waiting for better, true, Jewish leadership who can go all the whole way, without these mistakes”.
