T. Belman. Israel is committed to destoying Hamas. That much is certain. Biden is on board for this, so far. But he is forcing Israel to take more casualties to reduce the Gazan casualties.

At the same time, Israel has pledged that she will not annex Gaza or any part of it. This is not good enough for many Israelis. They believe Israel has the right to reclaim Gaza, that the Palestinians must lose land to know they have lost. The Rules of War provide that in a defensive war, the country that has been attacked has the right to acquire land from the aggressor. Unfortuneately, Biden is opposed to any annexation.

Pressures on Israel from Washington and other Western capitals are mounting to curtail the campaign to destroy Hamas, because of the humanitarian toll in Gaza.

Israeli government leaders must resist these pressures with all their might. They must persist in pounding Hamas-ISIS to smithereens until every last Hamas commander is dead, every last Hamas terror attack tunnel is destroyed, and every last Hamas missile bunker is obliterated.

T. Belman.This article is the opposite of what I thought it was. It highlights the opposition to Biden’s “decision to aggressively back Israel’s war against Hamas.” While Israel complains Biden is screwing us, many in the US administration are complining he is doing too much for Israel.

It’s a much better discussion than the one taking place in public.

By MICHAEL SCHAFFER, POLITICO    11/10/2023 05:00 AM EST

Amid news of vast in-house dissatisfaction with the Biden administration’s Israel-Palestine policies, Washington is getting all the umbrage and sense of betrayal that accompanies a leaked internal divide — but none of the benefits that flow from a strenuous public debate.

Consider the fallout from my colleague Nahal Toosi’s report this week about State Department staffers signing a formal dissent cable. The political reaction was a pretty good Rorschach test of America’s ideological divide.

T. Belman. I’ve had it with Bibi. Are we really so weak that we have to take orders from Biden?

With these goals, invading Gaza was a mistake.  What’s the point?  To put the Gazans in power sans Hamas. We should just be bombing the shit out of the place.

Jerusalem and Washington share ‘common goal’ in war, PM tells Fox News, accuses Rep. Rashida Tlaib of calling for ‘genocide’ of Israelis

• Sadly, the Biden administration has yet to come out and publicly acknowledge Iran’s role in Hamas’s October 7 invasion of Israel, in which the terrorist group murdered over 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, and wounded over 4,500 Israelis. Hamas also abducted more than 240 people and took them back to Gaza, where they are being held as hostages.
• Iran provides roughly $100 million a year to Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and $700 million a year to Hezbollah.

The Overton window is an approach to identifying the ideas that define the spectrum of acceptability of governmental policies. It says politicians can act only within the acceptable range. Shifting the Overton window involves proponents of policies outside the window persuading the public to expand the window.

What once was unthinkable is now moving to the center of mainstream thought

Consideration should be given even to the heroic remedy of transfer of populations…the hardship of moving is great, but it is [still] less than the constant suffering of minorities and the constant recurrence of war.” Former US President Herbert Hoover–“Great Humanitarian”, in The Problems of Lasting Peace

The abandonment of the Gaza belt settlements has shown unequivocally that there will eventually be either Jews in the Negev or Arabs in Gaza – but not both. That is the brutal choice facing Israel’s decision-makers – the true “day-after” dilemma—The War in Gaza, Jerusalem Post, Nov. 11, 2014.

Analysts predicted that Hamas would inflict terrible casualties on the IDF. They were wrong

By Richard Kemp 10 November 2023 

The Israel Defence Forces have been attacking Hamas in Gaza from land, sea and air for two weeks now, following a three-week air campaign. Before ground operations began, US military advisers urged the Israelis not to launch a large-scale campaign, which they believed would result in an IDF bloodbath – and be less effective than a combination of air strikes and special forces raids. The IDF rejected that advice, and moved into Gaza with a large combined arms force. And it has confounded its critics.

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.”

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

By The Editorial Board, WSJ Nov. 10, 2023 6:50 pm ET

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.

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