“It appears, then, that the United States had a separate reporting stream it didn’t pass on to the Israelis…So now everyone is attempting to shift blame for the miscalculation of how messy the result would be, while leaving U.S. sponsorship for the author of the attack untouched.”

The D.C. blame game is about avoiding responsibility while protecting a policy that is written in blood

by Lee Smith, TABLET     October 16, 2023

The continuing proliferation of conflicting and contradictory stories leaked by U.S. intelligence services regarding what they knew—and, more importantly, didn’t know—about the planning for Hamas’ assault on Israel, is more than just a D.C. bureaucratic comedy act. Taken together, the profusion of leaks suggests there are people in offices and agencies across the Beltway who are worried they’ll be blamed for missing signals and human intelligence outlining plans for the largest one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

“As long as the United States, the United Nations, and other allegedly peaceful countries provide funds to Gaza, and as long as Hamas continues to direct Gaza’s treasury, it’s as if we peaceful westerners ourselves were the ones buying Hamas the weapons”

By John F. Di Leo

Whether you grew up watching reality law enforcement programs or fictional mafia movies, there’s one thing everyone knows: When a known hit man murders a stranger, the odds are at least ten to one that he was paid to do it. Find the person who paid him, and you’ve identified the real responsible party.

This doesn’t just go for individual crimes, either.  The same principle applies on the grand scale.

On Oct. 7, 2023, a horde of Islamofascist terrorists known as Hamas launched simultaneous, carefully coordinated attacks on Israel.

“We know Hamas is going to commandeer that money, and Hamas is going to use it to advance terrorism,” stated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a presidential candidate.

Later this week, U.S. President Joe Biden intends to ask Congress for “an unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense,” he said today at the David Kempinski Hotel in Tel Aviv. “The world will know that Israel is stronger than ever, and my message to any state or any other hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel remains the same as it was a week ago: Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.”

Israel will not stop the food, water, and medication from Egypt from reaching civilians in the southern Gaza Strip as long as it does not reach Hamas.

Israel National News Oct 18, 2023, 6:01 PM

The Prime Minister’s Office summed up the joint cabinet meeting with US President Joe Biden and said that three decisions were made in light of the overwhelming US support and the vitality of the war effort and in light of Biden’s demand for basic humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The central decision is that “Israel will not allow any humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip as long as the hostages are not returned.”

So, how did the conflict in the modern Land of Israel evolve into what it has become today? Is this a new conflict, a 100 year old conflict or an age-old conflict that goes back hundreds and even thousands of years?

Hamas’ anti-Western strategy

*Hamas was established in 1988, as a spin-off of the Muslim Brotherhood, as were ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Islamic Jihad, Boko Haram and scores of additional terror entities. The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest Sunni terror organization, haunting all pro-US Arab regimes, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Africa, Europe and the USA. Its strategic goal is to topple all national Muslim regimes, bring the Western “infidel” to submission, and establish a universal Muslim society.

*Hamas, just like the Muslim Brotherhood, considers Israel as “an infidel” entity in “the abode of Islam,” a US beachhead in the Middle East and a deterring ally of all pro-US Arab regimes.

T. Belman. Good for Jonathan. I have argued the same thing. I went farther and I suggested that the IDF push the Gazans out of the north 80%  of Gaza before annexing it.  Then Israel should not permit their return.

I think that Jonothan is wrong to suggest that Israel should declare its intention now.

By Jonathan Pollard

As I write this essay, rockets launched by Hamas from Gaza are being intercepted over my home in Jerusalem. And while the successive detonations I hear provide a sense of relief that these enemy rockets are being successfully destroyed by our Iron Dome defenses, I’m reminded that each one of them was launched with the specific intention of murdering innocent civilians in our capital. However, given the fact that Hamas has apparently only used up about a third of its estimated long-range rocket arsenal, they can continue to keep launching missiles at central Israel for quite some time.

This war is not about revenge or justice, but about killing murderers so fewer Jews are killed..Find somewhere else for your wreaths.Opinion

Isn’t it heartwarming that the world loves dead Jews so much? I almost feel guilty for getting that lung transplant. It pains me that I deprived so many members of Black Lives Matter — may they all be damned by G-d Almig-ty — and so many neo-Nazi White Supremacists of a small moment of extra joy.

My gosh, how beautiful their eulogies are! In England, they have projected an Israeli flag image, replete with Jewish star, on 10 Downing. In France, on the Eiffel Tower. In Germany, on the Brandenburg Gate. I could go on. Projecting six-pointed stars in the blue and white. Touching.

T. Belman. Jacoby said “It has already said that after Hamas is defeated, residents will be free to return to Gaza City and other communities in the north.”. If so, Israel must cancel this commitment.

By Jeff Jacoby, BOSTON GLOBE

The plight of innocent civilians in Gaza, who are suffering greatly in this war caused by their Hamas rulers, is genuinely terrible. The distress of families displaced by attacks on their neighborhood can’t help but evoke pity. Images of babies killed in airstrikes are heartbreaking. Israel’s warning on Thursday that residents of the northern Gaza Strip head south to avoid the coming violence has sent many thousands of people fleeing in search of safety. Who could look at such upheaval and fail to be moved?

Apparently, the entire Arab world.
