the only problem is, and i said it from day 1, that this war isn't "winnable". all Israel has accomplished is turned the young boys who survive this nightmare into future terrorists.
i said from day 1 that Israel should set some achievable goals such as killing or capturing the Hamas commanders who planned and executed October 7.
Hamas is tough enough that they will live to fight another day, and smart enough to take the hostages they did. Israel is in a no-win war. it's time for the U.S. to stop offering Bibi gunboat cover. he's totally out of control, and gives 0 fooks for private advice and direction from the U. S. president. why should we be on the hook for the actions of this dangerous cowboy?
we have zero national interest in the Middle East. due to fracking, we are the world's number one oil producer. and with "friends" like the Saudis, who needs enemies? finally, our national interest is in the western Pacific (the far east), specifically China; the Middle East has been a huge distraction for way too long. supporting Israel is not in the U.S. national interest. it's high time they took care of themselves.
Bibi will never agree to a 2 state solution. it will have to be forced on him; i think it should be. he's a Zionist who wants the Palestinians killed or expelled from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in violation of international law. he's not someone you can reasonably negotiate with. his idea in this war was to make life in Gaza so unbearable that Gazans would leave of their own accord. that is unlikely to happen, although he did make life unbearable there. he engaged in collective punishment of the people of Gaza, which is a war crime. (of course Hamas also committed war crimes.)
this ends only two ways. Israel wipes out hamas and Iran if need be. or the US and that useless sack of nwo bullshit the UN actually does something and forces a two state solution.
the "arab brotherhood" won't give up one lousy hectare of land for their "oppressed brothers" just like 1946.
there's only one nation the arabs hate more than themselves .. Israel.
so the solution is the combined military occupation of the Sinai which Israel won in 1967 and give a large portion to the Palestinians as their own nation. whether they like it or NOT.
Israel abides by the rules of war. those goat herding racist terrorists do not. until then Israel can use any and all means to eliminate hamas and the collateral damage is on hamas. until there is no hamas.
there is only one rule of war. Win.
