I hope you are correct and that it is not too late and Israel does what it needs to do.

Some are saying that this is a set-up of Hamas by Trump and Netanyahu. I don’t know what to think anymore. But I do know that Hamas and the PA need to go. Israel needs to declare sovereignty over all its territories. Enough is enough.

I am not a Jew. But I am a Zionist. What is happening to Jews the world over is not okay.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor we napalmed them. My country has no business telling Israel how to handle 10/7. No business whatsoever.

Thank you! This is the first article I’ve seen that tells it like it is! I was aghast at the Wall Street Journal headline today: “Hamas says it is ready to release hostages”. Hogwash! And then they say “Group’s response includes conditions;Trump urges Israel to stop bombing”-! Trump had said Hamas had to agree to all of the terms- that they were non-negotiable. Now he’s caving. Netanyahu said Israel wouldn’t commit suicide- and he’s caving. If one or both of them doesn’t announce today that the deal is off, we have all been lied to and the Jewish state will be destroyed. Maybe not now. Maybe not next year. Maybe not even in the next decade. But this is the final straw that will break the camel’s back. Shame on all of them.

In America, many people had an expectation that Trump would be much better for Israel than Biden/Harris. The whole premise of waiting for someone who “would be better” and relying on America altogether, is fundamentally mistaken. The West is corrupt. Always has been. Jews can’t rely on any foreign power.

Thank you for your work. I recall that Harry Binswanger indicated that the Trump administration would leave the U.S. and the world less safe. Here is yet another glaring example of Trump’s capricious disregard of U.S. allies and appeasement of enemies sworn to the destruction of Western civilization.

No truer words ever spoken. We are living the final days in complete denial just like we did when we boarded the cattle cars. The next 10/7 will be the last 10/7 and the tragic irony is that the Jewish people brought this upon themselves by perpetual denial and the insane delusion that the lives of the hostages were far more important than the survival of a nation and the survival of world Jewry. How did not having an Israel work for Jews in the 1930s. The hatred of Jews is now greater worldwide with Islamization complete in the west. The Jew never learned to take care of the Jew first and never accepted that the Jews ultimate survival could only be obtained by peace through strength. This is full surrender. We’ve always endured and we’ve always survived is a death warrant. What’s always endured and always survived is the world’s will to destroy world Jewry and the Jews plunging of the knife in its own back. We are on the precipice of meeting our maker. Suicide complete. Join me as we see the end of the end unfold on the facebook group Jews for Jews.

This is just my take on this travesty of justice against the people of Israel and Jews worldwide.

I believe Hamas will be destroyed. And Israel will take back what is rightfully hers.

Although you're right, there is another element to this that we can't ignore, which is how Israel is falling apart. Around half of young Israeli adults have PTSD, we're leading the world in opioid addiction, businesses and marriages are failing, and God knows what this dysfunction means for the next generation. Obviously, Israel needs to secure a safe, prosperous future, but we also need an off-ramp to save ourselves from the toll this has taken on our society. And the army can't handle this for much longer, either. The IDF is even trying to repeal exemptions for PTSD because they're running out of viable troops (and I know this from personal experience). I don't think Israel should bow to Qatar and Pakistan, but it needs a break.

America and Israel have once again proposed yet another immoral and suicidal hostage deal in war. They lie and call it a "peace deal" when it is an appeasement deal. It's wrong to negotiate hostage deals with evil in peacetime or wartime. The Allies did not negotiate hostage or POW deals in WW2. The right thing for Israel is to achieve victory, peace, justice, and security. Israel needs to fight all-out to achieve unconditional surrender as fast as possible and by any means necessary--and recover all of the hostages afterwards, dead or alive. The moral fault for any harm to the hostages in "friendly-fire" is on Gaza, not Israel. Israel needs to change its mind about what is right and wrong in war.

Another excellent article by Yonatan Daon on the evil of this appeasement deal. Victory NOW just reposted this to our Substack.

“Narcissistic Lunacy” perfectly describes Trump’s principles, motives and soul. I feel your outrage, anguish and despair so rightly founded but I think you can relax a bit. Hamas will never agree to disarm and be excluded from governance. The real tragedy here is worldwide media trumpeting “Hamas releasing hostages” so that Israel takes the blame when they refuse the other terms.

As a former left wing pro Palestine supporter. When I heard and saw the events of October 7th a shiver went down my spine. Covid changed my understanding of the world as I learnt about agenda 2020 then changed to agenda 2030. I learnt much about globalism, open borders, top down global central control etc.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that the 7th October events were going to have even greater changes on the control and movement of people and the takedown of the western civilisation and its people.

All westerners were of the understanding that if a bird shit on that fence it would be shit within seconds. The security failure was so catastrophic it was surely an establishment job. The anti Isreal propaganda was already primed and ready to be aired the very next day after the attack. I noticed it straightaway. I began to search out the Isreal perspective in the oersuit of truth. I came across a series of podcasts talking about the Islamo/Comminusm alliance from 2016 which tells of the history of communists and Marxists and their alliance to the political aspect of Islam.

As the heavily funded free free Palestine demos grew out of all proportion in the western world I began to understand Israel was also going to be taking down along with every country in the west Everyone I know (who prides themselves on being a truth seeker has fallen for the free free propoganda and the age old conspiracy theory of Zionist’s rule the world and are the globalist cabal etc.

You talk of Jews banding together to fight this cabal. You have a better chance of seeking alliances with white westerners who are in the populist camp as they are fighting against the invited influx and kneeling to Islam. No they are not all right wing fascists. Just ordinary working class people whose communities have been destroyed over decades and now Muslim enclaves. Here in Britain our government is trying to push a law through to make it illegal to criticise Islam. Vast swathes of the public seem Islamophobia a worse crime than their grooming gangs raping our children.

It’s refreshing to read your honest assessment of Israel’s plight but in all honesty it is happening all over the western world including USA, New Zealand and Australia. And Israel being non Muslim is no longer the only target of the jihadi wing of Islam beloved by western puppet politicians on behalf of their establishment masters. Some of which will be Jewish but most won’t.

We are all fighting the threat of jihad and like many in your country many in mine are unwittingly calling for their own destruction via their support for the free free movement aka the pro Islam/marxist alliance.

I wish you all well as you seem to understand better than many the reality of what is taking place in your country which reflects the views of many in the western world whose voices are downed out by the might of the global propaganda machine.

Post-October 7, there was a strong political will amongst most Israelis to eradicate Hamas and the threat posed by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Has this sentiment subsided over the past two years? Does the political will to act remain in the dominant realm of discourse? From your perspective, what do you think it would take to quell the threat of the Palestinians and could the political will to do so be reignited?

It has substantially subsided unfortunately. I think the only thing that would bring an actual change would be a change in leadership.

HALLELUJAH!!! Thank you! As this war has gone on, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Israeli policy regarding hostages is self defeating. Yes, we want to bring the hostages home but these insanely lopsided deals where hundreds or even thousands of Palestinians are exchanged for a few (or even one!) hostages just encourages more attacks and more hostage taking.

Let us not forget that Gilad Shalit’s release was secured by returning, among others, Yahya Sinwar to Gaza.

I’m an American so I have no direct stake in the region beyond being Jewish and feeling that pull. And perhaps the average Israeli would tell me to STFU. But I can’t help thinking that if past Israeli governments had declared that they absolutely would not make deals for hostages and just treated them as casualties of war, then hostage taking would end or at least decrease.

I also agree completely with your assessment of Trump’s motivations. I don’t think he gives a crap about anything other than personal acclaim and holding onto power. He cares about Israel because his evangelical base does and he’s toast without them.

Sorry, I thing this is nothing but over the top speculation. I really do not give a damn if all Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize. Far worse motivations are possible. Israel will of course do exactly what it needs to do and if the Trump plan does not work to its satisfaction, it will finish the job in Gaza.

Supplying arms for peace, dropping bombs on nations for peace, starving countries using tariffs for peace.

As Orwell once declared ‘War is peace’. The truth is something else.☮️.

Orwell said ‘War is peace’ as a warning against totalitarian doublespeak. NOT against self-defence.

Peace doesn’t come from disarmament or surrender; it comes when evil is defeated so thoroughly that it can’t rise again.

The current path ThaT Israel is choosing will never create peace.

The bombing of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran and Qatar recently would indicate ThaT Israel is the greater Evil. This is not self defence. This proactive offense.

Israel may as well bomb Egypt, Jordan, Cyprus and Turkey for good measure.

This insanity of a greater Israel will receive the antithesis of Peace.✡️.

Wow .. I am astonished by your response.

On October 6 2023, Israel was faced with a sea of proxy armies funded by Qatar, and Iran and supported by Turkey. If those proxy armies had all attacked on October 7 2023, Israel would have been overwhelmed.

Iran, publicly proclaiming for years that America, the Great Satan and Israel, the little Satan, need to be destroyed.

Miracle of miracles, or call it Israeli skill, Israel has hopefully eliminated Hezbollah, giving Lebanon to flourish again, dictator Assad has fallen giving Syria a chance to regain humanity, Hamas is on the way out, Iran severely weakened, and the Houthis under severe pressure.

You call it aggression and evil .. I can only say that you have been fooled by propaganda.

Qatar, the silent devil funds the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide terrorist organisation banned in Egypt, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco and Jordan.

The Arab world is a nest of vipers, with Qatar deserving to be in Israel’s military crosshairs.

Since you have an interest in the Israeli conflict with the Arab world, I think you will find this video of interest ..

No victimization here buddy. Israel is strong with or without your support. The message is clear. You attack Israel, you die. Sound like victim to you? Remember that Gazans voted for Hamas. Remember that thousands of non Hamas civilians crossed the border on October 7 to rape and pillage. Remember that if an election was held today in the West Bank, Hamas would win overwhelmingly. Attack Israel, you die. Clear enough?

Hamas has been discreetly supported by the Zionist Israel entity to initially counter- balance the PLO since its inception.

Could be a case of friendly fire, designed to give the excuse to attack all in the way of a greater Israel.

Good Luck with living in deeper paranoia instead of peace.

May there be more peace on Earth.✡️.

Why? Because Israel thought that if they allowed money into Gaza and gave work permits it would help deradicalize the population! Boy were they wrong! And you try to turn it into some conspiracy. There was nothing discreet about it or unknown about it in fact it was what liberals all over the world wanted Israel to do. Yes peace through strength, the only way it has ever occurred. Good luck living in your fantasy land. I prefer to be alive.

This is not a peace plan. Israeli killings have created millions more who would back Hamas and the leaders of Iran still forecast the demise of the Israel state in about 10 years or so. This is no more than another Trump property deal doomed to failure. I find that very sad to behold as there will be many more deaths to follow. Trump's posted claims are no more than wishful thinking.

Not true. It's exactly our weakness that has created the millions of Hamas backers. If Israel had been decisive on October 8th, nobody would have dared to raise their heads in support.
