Love this article- made my day.

Makes my chest swell with pride that Israel executed that search warrant in Beirut. It harkens back to its beginnings, as you've alluded, Joshua, and to what made the IDF so legendary and fearless and earned it a reputation of being badasses. I think you're so right; if Israel stays the course, and conducts this war as befitting its national security and its future, then it may just redeem or reclaim true independence once again, while maintaining alliances. Hey, works for every other Western democracy! People will always hate us- that is indisputable after October 8th rallies from around the world to gas the rest of us- so we may as well proceed accordingly.

Also, and this is my opinion: I know Bibi will have to go eventually, but at the moment, all the latter can only be accomplished while he's still the PM. Gantz and Lapid, even Bennett, would give it all away like good lapdogs the minute they're asked, which of course, is dangerous to Israel and Jews all over the world. I hope that a leader that I thought Bibi was always going to be, finally emerges. She/he will no doubt will have their work cut out. And as importantly, I think (hope) that the Saudis are watching :-)

I have been repeating, over and over again, for those who lament the predicament of Arabs in Gaza, “tell Hamas to surrender.”

Israel can trust no one in the U.S., because Jewish life is cheap to every segment of the power structure. Democrats are sorry sheep, afraid of the fools on the far left, and Republicans are beholden to either Saudi Arabia or Russia, neither great friends of the Jews.
