When children die in Gaza, the world becomes a collective Palestinian parent. But when children are killed in Israel, folks tend to respond with a strange mix of justification and silence.
In advance of any significant military action in Lebanon, Israel should announce to the population of Lebanon, and LOUDLY to the entire planet that the Lebanese people can avoid civilian casualties if they assist in locating Hezbollah military targets and move away from those areas. This should be repeated at least twice daily for no less than 2 weeks before taking any action. What can the world say then?
Wonderful article.....It's so true about the Doble standards .....there are wars at this time in the world , but only Israel is asked for a cease fire....in spite of the fact they keep on attacking.....last Saturday inocent chiilIdren playing soccer !......the world does not care about our children ? Only the Palestinians children ?
Israel should prepare itself to go it alone. There is a strong possibility that Harris will be elected and, if so, American support of Israel and Jews will rapidly disappear. The Democratic Party is heavily anti-Semitic and will have little appetite for supporting the Jewish state. In fact, I will not be surprised to see a false flag operation of some type in this country which will provide an excuse for the mass incarceration of Jews for various offenses. The Department of Justice and the FBI have gained a great deal of experience in this type of operation from the mass arrests of the J6 participants, many of whom were relentlessly pursued and have received extended prison sentences for very modest offenses or none at all. The totalitarian infrastructure is in place and the will to use it is waiting for Democratic political control. The United States upon which Israel relied no longer exists. Dark times are coming for all. Israel and the Jewish people are on their own as they have been through most of history.Think I’m exaggerating? You just haven’t been paying attention.
Tim, there is no evidence Jews would be imprisoned by Democrats. We want democracy. The alt left is despicable, I agree. There are many millions of Americans who love the Jewish state.
As for the J6 insurrectionists, they almost overthrew the US government. They deserve punishment. Those damn traitors to America. Have some faith in us. Please don’t give up on America. We’re trying very hard to save our beloved country.
Israel is 100% justified in its retaliation. Ignore the naysayers, inclusive of our US Secretary of State Biden. “Interim” President Biden, and cackling VP Harris. They make Neville Chamberlain look like Winston Churchill.
The vast majority of Americans are on Team Israel. Keep fighting until you eradicate genocidal Hamas and Hezbollah. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱
We have to wake up to the reality that no matter what we do militarily, there will be accusations made against us. What we should do is do the best PR job we can and to ignore public opinion and do what must be done. We all want to liked and loved but it aint gonna happen and its time we woke up to that fact. We see it literally every day, in the media, on the streets etc. the incredible bias and distortion of the facts.
Every time they talk about a total ceasefire, i think of all the land concessions we made hoping there would be peace. What did it get us? Nada. What it gave was closer proximity for our enemies to try to kill us.
Whether its land concessions or cease fire concession, its about time we accept the reality and forge ahead with eradicating Hamas.
Lastly, its also getting to the point that we have to declare that any attack from Irans proxies will result in a response aimed not at the proxies but at Iran. People keep talking about that starting WW3 ....... Attacking oil fields and nuclear sites will not start WW3 .... we all want to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, why not use this opportunity to stop them? ahimsa papa j
We will never win the popularity poll, so, f....them all for once and for all, and get on with the job at hand, and our brethren stop the bickering. Stand United, this is our hour of peril, wake up!
The American media articles I read about the events of the past few days have been absolutely unbelievable. I usually get my news here so I forgot how insane they have become.
Re: the 12 murdered children, they wrote a couple sentences in which they failed to mention the victims were children and said they were killed by “militants” in “Israeli-occupied Golan.”
And about the deaths of these two terrorists (which they put in quotes and noted how the Trump administration designated them as such), they seem upset about this “escalation.” Haniyeh was described as a “diplomat” who would have released the hostages if Israel just ceased and desisted. Plus he’d been going through a hard time cause his kids were killed which was super mean.
Great analysis but blah blah blah. We have got to stop caring what "the world" thinks. Whether we fight back or show restraint, they will still hate us. So the question is, "what would Israel do if it could do whatever it wants and didn't care a fig about PR?" That's what it should do. And btw, Israel MUST start reving up its own manufacturing of all weapons, or as mich as possible. Oh, the presidency will be under HUGE pressure from our MIC, not to mention that the MIddle East would no longer be the testing field for US weapons. Too damn bad. "You want us to use your weapons? We do what we want with them." That's how you run things.
Israel! Follow your own course! Do not trust these, so called, friends. They are cowards and divisive! You are fighting for democracy, for yourselves but also for the west. They are despicable but God is on your side!
Interesting that Hezbullah denies responsibility. It couldn’t be because the innocent children they murdered are Druze Israelis, could it. Were the children Jewish Israelis, would they have accepted responsibility, openly crowing?
I have a question. I was told that sometime before Israel’s War of Independence, all the surrounding Arab nations had decided to kick out all their resident Jews who had taken refuge in those lands when Rome kicked the Jews out of Judaea. Many of those Jews returned to Palestine. And I was told the total was about 700,000 Jews. I was told (by an Arab friend) that this was very troubling to the surrounding Arab nations bc they hadn’t wanted ANY Jews (and why didn’t they? Prejudice and hatred are the only answers…) so they then paid about the same number of Muslims to move to Palestine. While attending a local university, I noticed a young Muslim woman at all of the protests (this was about 10 years ago) and when I signed up for a Hebrew refresher class, the young lady was sitting behind me! At the break, I asked her how long her family had lived in “The Land”? I expected her to say something like “from time immemorial.” But what she said was, About 70 years. So I asked if her family had been among those who were paid to settle in then-Palestine? She said “Yes! We are Kuwaiti!” And I’m thinking…”some “Palestinian!” Anyway, I also heard that after those many hundreds of thousands of new “Palestinians” were in the land, the surrounding Arab nations realized that they would have a difficult time bombing Jews with all those Muslims there. So they contacted them prior to the War of Independence, and they were asked to just temporarily leave the land and go to Gaza, the west bank, Lebanon, etc, just so the warring Arab states could more easily “push the Jews into the sea” and then they could return and take over everything. Of course, they didn’t expect Israel to win the war! And then, when Israel won the war, what could they do? Israel then would not have wanted to take back a population that essentially were happy to enable their destruction! So the neighboring areas had to figure out a way to support all those Arab Muslims somehow. And of course, turn them against Israel. So the”Nakba” was not really Israel kicking out 700,000 Muslims, but was actually a plan by the Arab Muslim neighboring countries to enable an easier destruction of the Jews. So my question is, is the book entitled “From time Immemorial “ valid? And if so, why aren’t all those so called displaced Palestinians not given DNA tests to see where they are all actually from? I’m curious and I’d really like to know.
I can imagine the anger and the despair in Israel over yet another barbarian attack from Hezbollah.
But 'maximum restraint' might be sound advise? At this moment, this terrorist organisation is capable of doing tremendous harm to Israel with its countless number of missiles.
(Even Hamas wasn't expected to be THAT suicidal, so who can tell what lives in the dark souls of the Hezbollah leadership - longing for martyrdom perhaps?)
Israel is already engaged in an all out war in Gaza, which it should end first (fighting a public relations war for over 9 months is just too long), and deal with Hezbollah later.
Because we are Jewish, we debate interminably the finest points of everything we do.
Enough already!
Will they hate us more if we deal with Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis decisively and irrevocably?
Of course they will. But it won't matter. The job will be done.
I dare not mention the method. You know what it must be.
How anyone can call Joe Biden and Kamala Harris antisemitic is beyond me. These brave individuals have not only armed Israel to pursue its goals against Hamas and Hezbollah, but they have paid for the weapons too. They have done this even though their actions will incense their Muslim voters, possibly resulting in Trump returning to power.
Think about that. They have been selfless in their support. Trump will only support something that benefits him directly.

Here here. Exactly!
October 6th was a ceasefire and Israel is the only nation not allowed to win a war it didn’t start. It breaks my heart over and over again.

I care more than you could know.

And now they want no civilian casualties for Hezbollah either. And not a peep from the Biden crew on Erdogens threats.
