Many blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel's handling of this war. The reality is that most people do not understand how peace in the Middle East is actually achieved.
Excellent article. I agree with your assessment of Netanyahu and his desire to have leaders who will act in accordance with Israel's best interests. He is the best person for these times.
As for the USA, I think Awdhesh Singh pretty much summarizes our current and recent past national governance, "Leaders are usually a reflection of the people they lead. How can a leader be moral if his people are immoral?". We have a totalitarian liar on the one hand and a facile gaggle on the other. Both sides have lost any sense of morality (2.a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do. "the corruption of public morals" - Definitions from Oxford Languages).
Peace/ceasefire with Hamas/Hezbollah? One only need look at the 1988 Covenant to understand Israel needs to annex both Gaza, Judea, Samaria, and the Golan. Israel never declared war on anyone and decisively won the wars that were perpetrated on it. Since when does the conqueror retreat to pre-war boundaries? Please check the map of Europe.
I liked ie found meaning in what you wrote. I liked the strength of your brevity and wording. Regarding the king liar amongst a universe of liars here is an anecdote. I knew little of You-Know-Who. I knew Y-K-Who was rich, had a reality tv show about business, had said some outrageous things, and had a big building or two in Manhattan. Then July 16, 2015 Y-K-Who announced (officially) running for President. One long time friend that lives in NYC sent word to all of his friends to never trust Y-K-Who and that the friend lived in NYC for 30 years and had seen the worst of Y-K-Who etc etc. Who am I to argue with such an experienced friend. However the following day... the media went totally spastic with a vile, mean, ignorant, biased approach to demeaning said person and leaving not a squidgen of an inch for any subtly or the possibility that said person had ever accomplished anything with or without the help of colleagues or employees. I found that extreme reaction globally... fascinating. I had no skin in the game. I do not support any political party anywhere. Never have. But what evolved quickly was that although Y-K-Who may be the world's most professional liar.... with the exception of the victorious media and others who chose to lie continuously since that day after in mid-2015. And back then, soon enough Her-Know-Who called 'us' deplorables. That 'us' is anyone who didn't see things Her-Know-Whose way. THAT day began me explaining that You-Know-Who was going to win because H-K-W and the Dumbocraps were simply going to lose because of their own Greek Tragedy brought about by their "hubris". The 'mainstream' media and most politicians lie to us every day as many times as they can. In conclusion - You-Know-Who can lie as much as he feels he must, but, he has been right about a number of things. I think he's the one who officially coined "Fake News". That is true... most 'normal "news" is fake.
I love history and the teaching moments. During the American Civil War, upon the defeat of the Confederate forces at Fort Donelson, the Confederate General Simon Buckner asked the Union General Ulysses Grant for terms of surrender. His answer, "No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I intend to move immediately on your works." The rest, as they say, is history. Israel cannot agree to any kind of cease fire while any of her people are in the hands of the Hamastards. Prepare to move immediately upon their works.
Totalitarian Nazi-Allied Genocidal Islamist Terrorist Hamas can ONLY be defeated militarily. The reason is that, like The Neo-Nazis they are Allied with, the Die-Hard Brigades will simply melt away into the Civilian population who largely support them, to re-group and then re-arm to fight another day. Thus there can be no negotiation with Hamas nor any Ceasefire. Even talking to them, through Intermediary States like Qatar, Hamas simply sees as Western weakness. The reason Hamas is pushing for negotiations now is both Hamas and Iran are running scared of a new Trump administration from next January. War is the permanent Reality of The Middle East. It always was. Trump and Israel, and The Western States including Europe, know this only too well. That is why the hawks won. The Hawks have won and Hamas is on its last redoubt. Now finish the scumbags off.
Amen. They are scared of The Return of Trump. Bibi will not be alone. Isaiah 11:12-16– ‘Efrayim and Judah will come together and swoop down on the slopes of the Palestinians, together they will plunder the sons of the East…’ there is going to be a coming together of the 2 houses of Jacob. Study who Efrayim is…Judah the Jew is already home in Eretz Israel. Someone is joining to help from the west….
I repeat, the use of 'Biblical prophecy and End time beliefs' plays directly into the hands of the Nazis. I share only the Realpolitik. I am not religious.
Nor me…I understand. I have always loved history although that wasn’t my major…and when I started reading all of my dad’s history on Israel, something happened to me. I found His G-d is my G-d. And the historical documents within the Bible cannot be contrived. Sorry…don’t mean to offend.
Joshua. Wise words again. The only skin that I have in the "game" is my support for Israel. For me, Bibi, warts and all, seems to be the only one to see this through. The terrible reality is that Sinwar holds all the cards - the hostages, the backing and support of the disgusting UN, financial support of billions of dollars and the rest of the meddling, interfering West looking out for their own interests. It is so obvious that even a child can see that Hama's and their ilk do not want peace or a two-state solution. They want Israel to cease to exist. For them there cannot be an Israel. Any deal that is struck that leaves Israel intact WILL be a lie. Bibi and many others know this. The only solution is hard line - no deal. No ceasefire on any terms except those that favor Israel 100%. No compromise, no retreat, no mercy, no quarter given. They savahly massacred, raped and burnt innocents to get attention. Well they have got Israel's attention. Sinwar has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Any Western deal leaves him the winner - to kill and rape again. Israel must treat them 10 x the way they treated the innocents on Oct 7. Am Yisrael Chai
Well said. "Peace is made with the strong, not the weak" especially in the Middle East which is a tribal culture. And, yes, Israel is one of the "tribes." The Abraham Accords came to be when several Arab countries recognized Israel's strength and the advantages that would accrue by being on "our side." And wherever wars may be, true victory has been achieved only when the enemy was TOTALLY defeated.
Unless Bibi is awaiting a letter from Trump—put the Shofar to your lips—then he’s getting another 1939 Arab appeasing White Paper mandate from the insufferable Jew hating reprobates running DC.
At The First TV Debate between Trump and Harris, Trump needs to ABSOLUTELY state that if there is any talking at all with Hamas and their Backers Islamist Iran, their 800 Kilograms of Nuclear Enriched Uranium must be removed to the USA along with ALL of the Fluorine Enrichment Centrifuges, or there will be a FULL US/Israel Air-strike the day President Trump takes office in January. Then, watch Kamala Harris fold on this on Live TV. Immigration, Inflation and Iran: Donald Trump is a War Leader, and this is how they come: Conflicted, Insulted, but absolutely RIGHT on Islamist Hamas and Iran and the mortal threat both are to Israel, Europe and The West.
Wonderful article and a reminder of the absurdity in thinking there could be a peaceful solution and ceasefire. For me, these are bogus dreams, far from reality. Hamas and the PA have never wanted peace. They were aways exercises in fantasy. Arafat must have been laughing to himself at how naive the US was to believe there would be a peaceful solution. While purchasing weapons from the US (even though the world may think that the US 'gives' these weapons to Israel, Israel made an error in being dependent on its ally, who flip flops in their support. This has been true no matter who was in office, Republicans or Democrats. Both parties were not truly supportive of Israel. I agree with your commentary on Netanyahu's reasons for the decisions he is making, but I also agree that he has always put Israel's safety and security as a priority. Realistically, any leader, especially in Israel, who doesn't, may find themselves without a country. I agree with you on so many points that you made, but ultimately, for me, Israel will be forced to go in strong against Hezbollah, Iran, and Hamas. The US knows a bigger war may be on the horizon, so with or without the full support of the US, Israel must take control of its own destiny.
And the west wants Israel to go after Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran regardless of what happens to the jews and Israel. That way they can finally get closer to the Saudis and rid themselves of an Iran with the bomb, and all those pesky semites without culpability.
I believe Josh is speaking in general of the current policy coming out of whoever is running the ‘Biden’ regime policies. Thank you! I just studied Zech 14…a guy sent me something on the Hebrew word for curse, cherem…wonder you wrote that.
That was good, yep. There is no way Hildabeast will allow another woman become first F prez…she is far more politically astute and nefarious…Kamel Lite 100s will be gone before fall. My thought…
I find the “explanation“ that Israel planted a bomb several months ago in the ultra-guarded compound where “they“ blew up Haniyeh to be patently absurd. Only Hamas could have killed him.

Amen. Y’shua to Yochanon, seven times: “tell them ‘I know your works’…” Kill the terrorists and get the hostages, Bibi.

Fantastic article Josh. Wow, as an armchair warrior I agree with your assessment and conclusion.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
If you want peace prepare for war...
Amen. Kick ass and sign treaties later.
Biden wants a ceasefire at any price before the election and is throwing Israel under the bus to get a deal done

Great moral clarity. Well said Joshua. I’m a Canadian Gentile and don’t have the understanding to chirp in on internal Israeli policies.
But it’s so cool in the West to be anti Israel. The anti semites have such great merch.

The well-being of Jews and Israel is the last thing the US really cares about, so I definitely agree with you.
What makes you think Biden cares about America?
The only Leader who can always act in Israel's best interest is God.
Read Zechariah 14, there's the end of the story for Israel and all other nations.
I believe Josh is speaking in general of the current policy coming out of whoever is running the ‘Biden’ regime policies. Thank you! I just studied Zech 14…a guy sent me something on the Hebrew word for curse, cherem…wonder you wrote that.
As for "whoever is running... policies" I will refer you to Tulsi Gabbard; https://youtu.be/KOzsEcM8M4U?si=gulUP_Bvbvzz7wo_
