Israeli officials railed at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday after he appeared to suggest the impetus for the Hamas terror group’s devastating October 7 attack on Israel was the Jewish state’s continued control of Palestinian territories.
“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war, which erupted when the terror group ravaged Israeli border communities, killing some 1,400 people, the vast majority of them civilians.
MEMRI. Hamas Attack Against Israel Benefits Putin’s War In Ukraine
By Vladislav Davidson, TABLET OCTOBER 24, 2023
The Hamas massacres in the Israeli south that killed more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and members of the Israeli Defense Forces on October 7th constituted the worst day of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. The terrorist incursion also had the effect of undermining multiple long-standing and delicate balancing acts of regional diplomacy, which rested upon logic, predicates and assumptions that turned out to be delusional. The efficacy and wisdom of the neutrality entente between Moscow and Jerusalem, formerly a pillar of regional security arrangements, suddenly looks a lot less rational or defensible than it did to Israeli leaders before the attack.

Yossi Kuperwasser wrote How Israel Can Solve Its Gaza Problem in Middle East Quarterly.
Martin Sherman takes isssue with him.
by Martin Sherman
The only way for Israel to determine how Gaza is ruled—and by whom—is to rule it itself.
Ever since the ill-considered and ill-fated unilateral abandonment of the Gaza Strip by Israel in August 2005—euphemistically dubbed the “disengagement”—Jerusalem has found itself embroiled in a seemingly interminable circle of violence, which the disengagement was supposed to prevent.
National security minister, left out of narrow forum overseeing conflict with Hamas, accuses members, including PM, of having mishandled terror group for years and causing war

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Monday demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu add a minister to the three-person war cabinet, accusing those already on the panel overseeing the war against Hamas of having harbored misconceptions that enabled the terror group to carry out its devastating attack on October 7.
Ben Gvir demanded that the additional member not be from the premier’s Likud party or Benny Gantz’s National Unity, which left the opposition to join an emergency government in the wake of the Hamas assault that killed over 1,400 people in Israel, the vast majority of them civilians.
FirstOneThrough Oct 23/23
Several countries met in Cairo, Egypt on October 21 in a “Cairo Peace Summit,” a most disgraceful naming of an event in the aftermath of a savage Arab terrorist attack that killed over 1,400 people in Israel. The naming was presumably meant to shield the barbarians and their supporters in the Arab world.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II certainly took the cue and pretended to talk about peace, while intentionally adding fuel to the flames.

Must be watched!! One of the best clips you will ever see on the Arab Israeli conflict. And pay special attention to the pompous arrogance of the student asking the question. Unfortunately uninformed display of virtue signalling. (Useful idiot)

Get equipped on how to respond to people who will accuse you of Islamophobia and hate for telling the truth about Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and any Islamic Terrorist Organizations.
Naseem Gheewan who spoke at my Webinar last year just tweeted:
Intelligence information for the Jordanian opposition coalition: Al-Sisi and the King of Jordan, through the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan and in coordination with Hamas, are behind what is happening in Gaza, and for reasons that are in the interest of their remaining in the chairs.
Western military intelligence sources have just confirmed to us that dozens of senior Hamas military commanders and their families left Gaza yesterday through the tunnels to Egypt where they were received by the Egyptian Military Intelligence and transported secretly to an…

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Unlike during previous conflicts, Israel is not constrained this time by a “political hourglass” and it would be wise to remove this concern from the table if a decisive outcome in the ground operation against Hamas is to be achieved. The ability to maintain this situation over time is in Israel’s hands. Seven clear decisions, detailed below, will be required to strengthen Israel’s hand, along with the establishment of mechanisms necessary for their implementation.
News from the Middle East Forum October 23, 2023
PHILADELPHIA – October 23, 2023 – A poll commissioned by the Middle East Forum finds overwhelming support among nearly all sectors of the Israeli public to eliminate of Hamas.
When asked the question “what should Israel’s primary objective” be in the forthcoming war, 70 percent of respondents answered “eliminate Hamas.” In contrast, 15 percent answered “secure the unconditional release of captives held by Hamas” and 13 percent answered “disarm Hamas completely.” Revealingly, 54 percent of those who said they voted for the Arab party in the last election also favored eliminating Hamas.
“It is clear the public is calling overwhelmingly for the elimination of Hamas; nothing short of that will be considered a victory,” notes Nave Dromi, director of the Middle East Forum’s Israel Office. “The decision-makers now have the statistics to demonstrate where the citizens of Israel stand on these issues; Israelis call on them to act accordingly.”

Ankara has politely shown the door to Hamas leaders staying in Turkey, according to two sources, as it walks a diplomatic tightrope, careful not to jeopardize its recent thaw with Israel while maintaining support for the Palestinian cause.
Turkey has been trying to carefully calibrate its stance in the face of the war that Hamas launched against Israel on Oct. 7, maintaining its advocacy of the Palestinian cause while cooling ties with Hamas and seeking to avoid a fresh fallout with Israel.
The crisis hit at a time when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is pursuing normalization with regional powers, including Israel. After years of bilateral spats, Erdogan met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York last month and invited him to visit Ankara.

#1. The GBU-28 can punch through a 22 foot thick stack of steel reinforced concrete slabs with considerable energy to spare (citation below).
#2. Israel has the GBU-28 since 2009. F15 jets are used to bomb with the BGU-28.<

T. Belman. The only reason Biden is letting us destroy Hamas is to enable the PA to take over and to enable the formation of a Palestinian state. He knows that his “humanitarian corridor” will make Israel suffer more casualties. Like Kissinger , he wants Israel to “suffer a bloody nose” so she will be more pliable.
Unfortunately, Gallant and Bibi agree with his final solution. “The third phase will require the removal of Israel’s responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip, and the establishment of a new security reality for the citizens of Israel,”. Any daylight between them and Biden?
The only solution is to drive the Gazans into Egypt or at least into the south 20% and to annex the rest. In 1948, the Arabs fled and after the war, Israel refused to let them come back. The same must happen now.
Nuts: Israel is cautioned to do no harm to “innocent” Gazans.

I hope I don’t come across as being angry.
For what Hamas did to my People, I guess it’s okay to be sad, horrified, dismayed…but not angry. As the Rebbe says, all other nations may fight to win, but only Jews must turn the other cheek. They must not be angry.

EVERYONE IS RESTRAINING US.
BIDEN IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO ACHIEVE A PALESTINIAN STATE AS A RESULT OF THIS WAR.
THAT’S WHY HE IS LETTING US DESTROY HAMAS SO THE PA CAN TAKE OVER.
