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.

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.

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.
