Israel-Hamas War: IDF Says It Needs Months,  

By Amos Harel, HAARETZ

The war in Gaza entered its 35th day this morning, November 10 – one day more than the 2006 Lebanon war, which at the time was described as a frustrating stalemate in which Israel found it difficult to vanquish the enemy, Hezbollah. The circumstances this time, in a war that is currently focused on Hamas, are harder.

Israel went into the war with a terrible deficit, as a result of a harrowing intelligence and preparedness failure on October 7. By the time the Israel Defense Forces recovered and started to fight back effectively, nearly 1,200 Israelis had already been killed and about 240 abducted in Hamas’ murderous terrorist onslaught. Since then, all that has been done, and will be done, is comparable to a desperate attempt to pursue a foe that has already turned on the burners and is speeding ahead.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant repeats in a press statement that Israel will not stop the fighting against the Hamas terror group in Gaza until the at least 239 captives held in the Strip are returned.

He notes the dozens of kids abducted and held by “animals,” vowing: “We won’t stop the fighting until we get them back. What father stops looking for their children? I see them as my own kids.”

Biden Keeps the Billions Flowing to Iran  

Choosing not to enforce oil sanctions finances Tehran’s terrorism.

You’d think the Biden Administration would have realized by now that enriching the Iranian regime is a dangerous mistake. You’d be wrong. Relaxed U.S. enforcement of oil sanctions continued through October, refilling Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s coffers even after the Oct. 7 slaughter and the more than 40 attacks on U.S. troops by Iran’s proxies in the weeks since.

Senators Demand Israel Be Given Time to Defeat Hamas  

By  Jewish Press Staff    

In a bipartisan show of solidarity, U.S. Senators and Congressmen from across the political spectrum expressed their absolute support for Israel and for it to be given full backing to defeat Hamas at an event on Tuesday to move forward with legislation to celebrate the U.S. – Israel relationship by minting commemorative coins featuring former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. The event was arranged to be held exactly 30 days since the massacre of Israelis on October 7th.

Just whose side is America really on?  

Biden’s early support for Israel is turning into something more ominous.

By MELANIE PHILLIPS

(November 9, 2023 / JNS) Soon after the Hamas pogrom on Oct. 7, the United States sent two aircraft carriers, additional land-based warplanes, and eventually, a guided-missile submarine to the region. This was said to be a “clear message of deterrence” to Hezbollah and its patron Iran, warning them not to escalate the ensuing war between Israel and Hamas by attacking Israel from southern Lebanon.

With 150,000 precision-guided missiles embedded in Lebanon’s civilian population and able to target the whole of Israel, Hezbollah poses a vastly greater threat to Israel than Hamas.

Ceasefire? Not on our lives  

Was there any pause when the US decimated Fallujah and Mosul? Is the UN demanding ceasefire in Papua? Myanmar? No ceasefire, no pause.Op-ed.

By Michael L. Wise, INN     Nov 10, 2023, 8:40 AM (GMT+2)

Unconditional surrender by Hamas is the only humanitarian path now available to save its population, but Hamas doesn’t care about its population.. Rejected by Hamas, the irreversible outcome will be the total destruction of Hamas and remaining infrastructure in Gaza.

Hamas boasts that Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City “hosts” 55,000 human shields. Committing war crimes by using civilians as human shields will not protect the Hamas terrorists. These “shields” are held captive by Hamas and not permitted to travel a few miles to safety to Raffiah in southern Gaza even though Israel protects a corridor it erected so that they can flee.

Avigdor Liberman to ‘Post’: This is what Israel should do in Gaza  

No more crossings and no more supplying, he says. But first of all, Hamas leaders need to be eliminated, and those who are abroad remain legitimate targets. 14:53

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN, JPOST 

Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman has been warning about the Hamas threat for two decades. The former defense minister sat down with The Jerusalem Post at his office in the Knesset this week to discuss what Israel should do in Gaza, a month after the October 7 massacre that started it all.
“It was clear to me that such a radical religious jihadist movement is a real threat for our future and existence, and in our 2009 coalition agreement, at our insistence, one of the main clauses was to eliminate Hamas rule in Gaza,” he said.

Benjamin Netanyahu: We will continue until Hamas is eradicated  

“We don’t seek to govern Gaza, we don’t seek to occupy it, but we seek to give it and us a better future, and the entire Middle East…

What we have to see is Gaza de-militarized, de-radicalized, and rebuilt.  And all of that could be achieved.  We don’t seek to conquer Gaza, we don’t seek to occupy Gaza, and we don’t seek to govern Gaza.  We will have to find a civilian govt that will be there but in the foreseeable future, we have to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.  So we have to have a credible force, that if necessary will enter Gaza and kill the killers because that is what will prevent the reemergence of a Hamas-like entity.  But what I expect to see is a rebuilt Gaza for the Gazans.”

Israel formalizes daily humanitarian pauses in Gaza, in first since war’s outbreak  

T.Belman. To the extent that these “pauses” facilitate the exodus southward, I support them. But I don’t trust Bibi to prevent the Gazans from returning. So far, Israeli spokepersons have said they will be allowed to return. This must not be.

Official confirms plan for 4-hour pauses in different northern Gaza neighborhood every day, allowing civilians to either restock or evacuate south via humanitarian corridors

Israel has agreed to formalize and broaden localized pauses in the IDF’s fighting in Gaza for the first time since the outbreak of the war against Hamas, a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Thursday.

The “tactical, localized” pauses that Israel agreed on Thursday to implement each day will build on the humanitarian corridor that it began operating on Sunday to allow Gazans to evacuate from northern to southern Gaza, away from the most intense areas of fighting, the senior Israeli official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Jim Hanson on Waging Lawful Warfare Against War Criminals  

by Marilyn Stern, Middle East Forum Webinar
October 30, 2023

https://www.meforum.org/65184/

Jim Hanson, chief editor of the Middle East Forum (MEF) and author of Winning the Second War: Without Firing a Shot and Cut Down the Black Flag: A Plan to Defeat ISIS, spoke to an October 30 Middle East Forum Webinar (video) in an interview with Benjamin Baird, director of MEF Action. The following is a summary of their comments:

Although the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operate in accordance with international treaties and the Geneva Conventions, the media and international left spread misinformation by lying about lawful operations and accusing Israel of engaging in “occupation” and indiscriminate killing of civilians. Because all of Gaza is a “large armed terrorist encampment” under Hamas control, shutting off services in a siege is the “proper way” to conduct an offensive, not a war crime.

Grading Netanyahu’s war leadership  

For Benjamin Netanyahu, a conclusive victory on the battlefield is critical to Israel’s future as well as his own political survival.

When war broke out on Oct. 7, pundits around the world began asking whether the massive intelligence and security failure that led to the brutal murder of 1,400 Israelis, injury of thousands more and horrific kidnapping of as many as 240 hostages would be embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Golda moment.”

General Blinken Should Just Be Quiet  

By Shoshana Bryen, JPC November 6, 2023

The Biden administration, steeped as it is in military prowess and full of great military thinkers who understand both military strategy and tactics – and American military history – has dispatched General Antony Blinken to Jerusalem to help Israel fight its war against Hamas. Because the United States knows better.

First, according to General Blinken, the IDF should use smaller bombs to try to protect Gaza civilians “while still achieving its objectives of finding and finishing Hamas terrorists.” The US, according to The New York Times, is preparing to ship smaller bombs to Israel. Furthermore, according to The Times, U.S. officials have been encouraging Israel to use the tactics of US Special Operations forces against in Iraq: targeting Hamas leaders “using small teams of commandos, combined with precision strikes from drones and manned aircraft.” [Note: In Mosul, US and allied forces killed upwards of 9,000 civilians in the battle against ISIS.]
