Surprise! Israel has never had the full-throated support for any of its military operations. At each one Israel was told "don't do it" and/or had difficulty in obtaining matériel and weapons. Rinse. Repeat.
I am most likely wrong, but it appears the West fully supports Israel only when it aligns with the West's current interests (cf Harris/Walz) or there is low risk of a fully engaged shooting war.
Douglas Murray recently said, the IDF is magnificent! I hope you all know who he is and believe what he says because it is true. Everyone must stop telling Israel how to fight this war. They are doing it “magnificently.” Thank you Joshua for making us smarter.
Israel has no allies at the moment, everything is false. I believe Isreal now must act on its own instincts. You have many supporters but Countries are deserting you. You mention 9/11. I would ask you to find Konstantin Kisin . A great critical thinker, he has come out in support of Israel and his analysis of thinking is totally accurate. He sees October 7 as much worse than 9/11 . The next few weeks are critical to you. I can only give you my prayers, love and support.
Nuance is so important here and I think it’s lost. Not only in this article but more recently in the article specifically blaming and bemoaning the Americans.
While there is certainly a Uniparty in the US, Christians in the US unreservedly support Israel for no other reason than Israel is the Holy Land and Jerusalem is God’s Holy City.
But, at best, Americans are faced with a government at odds with its own people, at worst, at war with us. J6 political prisoners locked up without trial; draining of the treasury for the worthless and corrupt Ukraine war; a stolen election; and now, multiple assassination attempts on President Trump’s life. Any support for Israel is highly politicized and disfavored.
Americans by and large support our Israeli brethren but as your nation matures, it must step outside the American umbrella and act in its own best interests.
Israel needs a follow-up plan regarding the Palestinians. Solving the Hezbollah question is comparably easy, most Lebanese want to get rid of them anyway and strengthening the Lebanese army will fill the vacuum. Getting rid of the jihadist mindset in Gazans and the population of the West Bank is much more difficult.

The West's interests fully align with Israel's. It's just that (as this piece points out) the experts are too stupid to realize it.

*They tried to scare Israel by “predicting” that it would lose some 20 soldiers per day. The actual number is fewer than two."
The actual number is less than 1: 353 dead since the ground operation in Gaza began:

Reasoning by analogy is a contradiction in terms.
"Expert" is a euphemism for a useful idiot who can't find a real job.
As Tallyrand said of the Bourbons so it is true of the "experts" helping to burn down the Middle East. "They learn nothing and forget nothing."

I would like to remind everyone that the "experts" said Ukraine would last a week.
Russia invaded Ukraine Feb 24 2022.
Its been a mighty long week.

Jews are bred for brains. I can’t imagine the USA telling the IDF anything they don’t already know.
Israel needs a follow-up plan regarding the Palestinians. Solving the Hezbollah question is comparably easy, most Lebanese want to get rid of them anyway and strengthening the Lebanese army will fill the vacuum. Getting rid of the jihadist mindset in Gazans and the population of the West Bank is much more difficult.
Why would Israel take military advice from an administration which was responsible for that disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal?
