Just so. What Israel must make clear is the old paradigm is gone forever. Israel will not be forced to negotiate with a people murdering them. There will be no safe havens for the murderers. The Arab states will not be able to play both sides, normalizing relations with Israel while threatening Jerusalem if it does not allow itself to be attacked. They will have to choose. The next step is to find a way to get the Hamas demons hiding in Turkey. They can't be bombed as Turkey is a Nato member. But the Mossad can surely act. And most of all, the snakes in Europe cannot be allowed to appease their radical Muslim residents at Israel's expense. The next time they act in support of the Hamas demons on a world stage Israel should expelled their diplomats and suspend ties.
Excellent post— your best yet and I think that you must have been inspired by the magnitude of what was done. We’ve had hints that in the final stages of the war with Hamas that there would be surprises— Israel always has surprises for her enemies, think exploding pagers— and this was yet another one of them! And it’s great that it was done with America’s blessing— so much for worthless luxury jumbo jets! The Eurotrash leaders can cry me a river, they’re just making fools of themselves. This news really made my day!
And let’s not forget that many of the Arab states loathe and fear Qatar because it backs the most extreme Islamic terrorist organizations not only Hamas but also Al-Qaeda and ISIS which want to overthrow their governments and replace them with more radical ones. That is why I’m 2017 a number of them, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE cut off ties with Qatar and blockaded it. Unfortunately this was ended by Biden. The next step should be that Trump should move the huge Centcom airbase from Qatar to a friendly ally.
I think Qatar is tired of Hamas too. The fat one's sitting in nice hotels while Palestinians die was getting old. Ever Qatar has humans in it, and what Hamas is doing to Palestinians in Gaza is unconscionable.
I'mma grinnin' ear ta ear! These were rat-bass-turds an' yes there IS evil in the whirled. Ill toast to this brilliant move (if ginger kombucha counts fer toastin?!). I hope THIS TIME (vs with the Iran nukeroos/12 day war) the US will not attempt ta temper what needs ta be done an' if it duz then BB will disregard pressures from (sorry ta say) "the Great Compromiser" (which ain't just DJT, it's the entire USA...). Meantime...Whooppe! (an' yep, s Yussef said, should'a been done a couple years ago--Qatar is CATARRH! a canker on the face of the Middle East)
You are spot on. Of course the moderate Arab states have to "condemn" the attack, and Trump has to pretend he had nothing to do with it. But Saudi Arabia--the second most important player in the New Middle East Plans--HATES Qatar and refuses to do banking or business with them. They surely applaud this. Why do they hate Qatar? They know and deplore Qatar's support of terrorism and the vast world-wide corruption of Qatar's banking system. Yes, Qatar is still useful (for now--we don't want to see Qatar collapse economically... yet) in order for the New Middle East to launch successfully, but they will have to change--and fast--or they will end up in the crosshairs like Iran's regime and Turkey's Erdogan are currently. Israel is accomplishing the job the moderate Arabs, The UAE, and Trump knows must be done: Terrorism must be fully neutralized in the Middle East. The New Middle East can't fully launch and attract international investing and plan joint projects until the the region is secure. And Israel keeps proving another key point: That it will be ISRAEL protecting the entire New Middle East, NOT America. America is fickle and Trump wants the Middle East to protect itself, just like he wants Europe to protect itself. Everything Israel has proven over the past two years is that Israel is capable not only of doing the impossible job of getting rid of Iran and all the terror proxies, but also that they are capable of defending the New Middle East going forward. This gives great confidence to the Arab world (and the entire world) that the New Middle East will be safe and secure from radical Islam and their sick, homicidal and suicidal ideology, and ripe for amazing investment opportunities that will vastly benefit ALL the people in the entire region.
Joshua, I have been following this story all afternoon just waiting for you to publish your analysis of the situation in Qatar. Another brilliant example of journalism! Relief definitely, thank you for making us well informed. Am Yisrael Chai🇮🇱✈️
Amen, should have been done a long time ago. Qatar funds the Jew hatred here in the states as well as hiding top tier Hamas. Kaboom. Standing with Israel.
👏👏👏 You said it all, Joshua! Israel is laying down the law! They have ALL the leverage. Europe’s empty threats about recognizing Palestine don’t matter as they are irrelevant. Europe is economically weak, political polarized and plagued by mass immigration. The Arabs need what Israel can give them but Israel needs nothing from them. Qatar can give Islamists all the money they want, Israel will still find and kill them. What Israel did in Doha yesterday striking a meeting of Hamas’ top officials killing Khalil Al-Hayya and Khaled Marshal was tremendous! Al-Hayya and Marshal can now join Adolf Hitler, Amin Al-Husseini, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Yasser Arafat, Osama Bin-Laden, Abu Al-Bakr Baghdadi, Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed Dief, and Yahya Sinwar in h***. Israel 100% did the right thing no matter what the wimpy, whiny UN says. Nor does it matter what the UAE says with all their threats about “annexation could effect the Abraham Accords.” Well, you guys can shove it because Israel did what they had to do to protect their citizens.
By the way, Judea and Samaria is Jewish land. You guys don’t get to tell them they can’t annex it. The Jewish people have a 3,000 year history on that land. It’s their people’s heartland where Hebron, Bethlehem and Jericho are located. Israel has my full support in annexing parts of Judea and Samaria. In fact, I think they should assert full sovereignty over it again, kick out the Palestinian Authority, purge the Jihadists and Jewish extremists, and give all the Palestinians living their citizenship, the right to vote and representation in the Knesset. Israel now holds all the cards in this game. What Canada, Britain, France, or Australia think is totally irrelevant and not going to influence Israel’s actions one bit. I encourage Israel to continue to not care what the West thinks until the West gets its head screwed on right. The Arabs have no veto power anymore. Unless they want to be at the mercy of Iran and not have Israeli technology, innovation and no how, they better stop making threats and start normalizing relations.
Qatar can throw around as much money as they like, it won’t stop Israel even if it means going to their country and killing the Hamas leaders. I’d like to thank President Trump for standing by Israel and standing with them all the way. People in Israel were excited to see him get elected and we are seeing why right now. Israel was one of the big reasons I voted for him. He didn’t abandon them like Joe Biden did. Israel has indeed checkmated and won, the chess match between them and Hamas and the Arabs.
In one bold act, Europe has become the Greta Thunberg of international relations.
I'm sorry, who? :)

Say it out LOUD my good MAN
Always thoughtful, Josh, this is one of your best.
Agree

Agree. Move the base.
The Pagers in the pockets is hard to top… :)
I say let the killers of Jewish babies all be afraid.
Exceptional piece! Thank you!

Now let's hope Israel has the same kind of success in the information war, in which you are a valiant and cherished fighter.

Indeed, who can tell Israel what they cannot do with their land. And yes, thanks to President Trump for his support.
Great piece ! If RL the Hamas leaders somehow survived the legacy media would have rushed to tell us and go nuts against Israel
Powerful words! Thank you.
