Seems that Israel is now ‘getting’ Hamas attention…
Even as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are busily engaged revoking the birth certificates of Hamas terrorists in Gaza, and while Israel’s air force is likewise engaged in changing Hamas terrorists’ pronouns to “over here” and “over there,” Hamas is admitting they are feeling the pinch. Now they are offering to release all of the remaining 59 hostages taken in the October 7th, 2023 attack, in return for a permanent cease-fire with Israel. Less than half of those hostages are thought to still be alive.
Full article, HERE from Red State.
Although I have not been watching it closely, it appears the latest IDF incursions into Gaza, along with the loss of the Syrian and Lebanese funding and ammunition streams has the remnants of Hamas on their back foot, in addition to the IDF’s continued strikes removing leader after leader.
At ‘some’ point, there won’t be anybody foolish enough to ‘step up’, and hopefully that comes soon.
Those remaining 59 families deserve to be given closure with those who were taken hostage, even if they are dead. Closure is closure, as long as the families ‘know’ what happened to their loved ones.
If Hamas is allowed a ‘permanent’ cease fire, it won’t actually be that…It will just give them time to rebuild their forces once again. At least that is my opinion.
OBTW, has anybody wondered why NO countries in the Middle East will take Palestinian refugees? The AP has one idea, HERE. HERE is another look from Politico. Lastly, a look from the Arab Center in DC, HERE.
IMHO, the bottom line is that none of the countries ‘trust’ the refugees to not start crap in ‘their’ countries…
Egypt and Jordan don’t trust them; I agree. Also, I think they like Israel being harassed by Hamas.
Jordan and Lebanon learned by experience. The other Middle East nations took their lessons from them. The “Palestinians” tried to overthrow the Jordanian government in 1970 and failed. The Black September terrorist organization sprang from it. The Palestinian survivors were mostly exiled to Lebanon, which was a thriving nation once upon a time. Beruit was once known as the Paris of the Middle East. Thanks to the PLO, Syria, and Iran, it is a nation pretty much in name only.
Good thing sleepy Joe is out of office. Otherwise, he’d charter a bunch of airliners & fly the lot of them to the U.S., give them green cards, cash & maps of conservative areas to infiltrate.
👍
The referenced articles, despite their biases, do get one thing right. When the surrounding Arab countries took in Palestinians in 1948 and 1967, the so called refugees became a problem for the host countries. The Palestinians refused to integrate into the society of the host countries, formed criminal gangs and generally made themselves a major pain in the butt. (sound familiar Europe?) Jordan even had to send in their army to clean up the “refugee” camps in the 1970s. No Arab country wants to deal with those problems again.
The BLUF is that Palestinians are the living personification of the ‘Frog and the Scorpion’ fable and can only be changed by death.
So when is the US going to get its pound of flesh for the murdered and kidnapped American citizens from October 7th?
Enquiring minds want to know.
My point? Israel need to do what is needed, and f**k the world’s opinion.
The Aaron Cohen show on YouTube is, IMO, the most straight forward source news source. Irritating to listen to him. Then again, he isn’t trying for a talking head mainstream media gig.
Two words: Scorched Earth.
PEDAL TO THE METAL !!
All- No disagreement here! And where have we heard ‘refused to integrate into the society of the host countries’…sigh
Minnesota?
Scorch the Earth. Pound them into dust. End the war.
Ed- Yep!
LL- Agreed! It is PAST time…
Hamas is Muslim. As long as islam/muslims are allowed to exist nobody is safe.
