This is what mainstream media will not tell you about the amazing work that the Israel Defense Forces is doing to simultaneously protect civilians and eliminate pitiful, cowardly terrorists.
This war must be played out to the end or to its conclusion . And when I speak of conclusion, that conclusion must be an Israeli defined conclusion or end of hostilities, not an UN Conclusion , not an American conclusion, and not a Hamas or Islamist Conclusion.
Israel must continue to push forward and eradicate all sectors of resistance.
It is Israel that will define its peace, it is Israel that will define its borders, it is Israel's future without constant " high" level threats.
The sooner that this is achieved the sooner that a semblance of peace may be achieved?
Who knows, after that, we can start focusing on a greater tragedy, the one currently going on in Yemen
How true! The IDF has such high standards, no other army can match it. The lies and propaganda spouted about it are vile. They must continue the way forward.
It's no secret how Russia or another ruffian State would solve the Rafah military problem - there is not much left of Grozny or many a Syrian city.
Indeed, there ARE double standards: the civilized world expects Israel to maintain certain humanitarian norms and values and Russia, well Russia is just a rogue-state.
Is Israel maintaining those standards?
Unfortunately, the main source of information remains the Hamas ministry of health- the fact that there still is such a ministry is surprising by the way. Badly loosing the PR- war, indeed.
Nevertheless, Hamas must be minimized into an IS-like shadow existence and therefore Israel should come up with a decent evacuation project first - isn't there room enough in the Negev?
No, mainstream media has become purveyors of stories that fit a narrative they want to propagate, not the facts on the ground. They are businesses, after all.
I agree with everything you've written here,. But, yes, as an earlier commenter pointed out, Israel is badly losing the PR war, in part because to continuously point out that the IDF's combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio is 1:1 (or similarly low) is also to say, 'Yeah, we're killing women and children, but not as many as others do." That argument goes nowhere with people who see even one Palestinian civilian casualty as excessive--and that seems to be a lot of people these days. They have a very loud voice right now, directed only at Israel, of course. It's maddening. But you can't reason with antisemites.
Israelis don’t care that much about the PR war (for better or worse). I tend to agree with them because it’s not a winnable “war.” The real war is winnable and will be won by Israel, and that’s all that ultimately matters. Everything else is fluff.
Here in America, we always thought highly of the IDF and the tremendous job they do in keeping Israel safe. It’s amazing to hear how they are approaching this war to eliminate a terrorist group while demonstrating extraordinary efforts to preserve civilian life. Unfortunately, Israel is losing the PR war. They need to show the world what they are doing…
Its those Fucking Jews that are the. problem,how dare they defend themselves, if they would just go away , or shut up , or just behave them selves, dont make a fuss when we kill them, they really expect too much from us all.
Then we might be inclined to tolerate them a little more ( meaning not)
Edward I think that you must understand that the level of hatred that is espoused by many governments, political parties , universities, university professors, unions, and so on ,is actually
A continuation of the evil that has been promoted for over two thousand years.
Tge big difference? The internet, it can spew this evil 24/7 365 days of the year.
I fully understand the tremendous anti-semitic sentiments throughout the world throughout time. Just rest assured there are plenty of non-Jews who still support Israel and the Jewish people.
True, but in all honesty, I was really brutal and straight forward in the least three days. I had many heated back and forths with Muslims, and Leftists, that I dont mind, I have been called everything , its when someone Joins a conversation and makes a statement about me, makes accusations, who has never even communicated with me once , I was really vulgar, in all honesty if you had of seen the post.......
I never reported anyone ever , no matter what, I just blocked them, same here on Substack if someone goes off , let that person speak their mind. If that person is an idiot and bothers you, just block them?
So why isn't any of this reported by "mainstream media"? Clearly, we need these stories to reach key people at key outlets, not just those of us who are already behind Israel 100% and don't need persuading.
A beautiful tribute to the brave men and women of the IDF. What they have accomplished and continue to accomplish ,despite the demands of the West. to secure the safety of civilians, getting humanitarian aid through, moving civilians and setting up tents, and the West is still not satisfied. What the IDF is doing, the armies of the West could only dream about. The police in cities in the UK and the US are too cowardly to confront violent protesters. Maybe they should take a cue from the example of the IDF. Their love of life and Israel gives them the strength and courage to carry on. Am Yisrael Chai!!
Excellent, Joshua. For the most part, the media here in the US is just ridiculously biased. The story is predominantly Gazans suffering and everyone hates Bibi. There is very little reporting on the success of the IDF in actuality fighting this difficult war. It is a shameful disgrace. Keep up the good fight, Joshua.
You're right, but part of this is due to not getting ahead of the narrative early enough. By now it probably is too late, which is very scary.
This war must be played out to the end or to its conclusion . And when I speak of conclusion, that conclusion must be an Israeli defined conclusion or end of hostilities, not an UN Conclusion , not an American conclusion, and not a Hamas or Islamist Conclusion.

Since 2014-2022 and ongoing
377k killed
85k children died from starvation 2015-2018
4k children deaths because of Cholera
2.5 million cases overall from 2015 to 2020
FOUR Million displaced ( refugees) ?
2015 to 2020.
Need I say more......
Very well said Mark!
Hallelujah

Spot on. The IDF has set an urban warfare benchmark that no other military will be able to achieve. Facts matter.
Understood. But does anyone else (NY Times, WSJ, USA Today, CNN, other TV channels, etc.) SEE what you publish?
No, mainstream media has become purveyors of stories that fit a narrative they want to propagate, not the facts on the ground. They are businesses, after all.

Hey Mark,
I fully understand the tremendous anti-semitic sentiments throughout the world throughout time. Just rest assured there are plenty of non-Jews who still support Israel and the Jewish people.
Like you, me , and my wife, there are more, trust me.
On Substack and Medium i am known as an Evil Zionist, a Sick Zionist, You and your People, parading your collective guilt on the world?
You should be ashamed of your self. Your sick....
The best reaction I get is when I tell them im not Jewish . Conversation Killer, I hear Crickets? No more communication .
PS: I will wear the Zionist label with pride.
Oh Well Edward
Medium just informed me that im off the site, apparently calling out and Islamist, and Pro Palestinian poster.
One got very ugly, I in turn gave it back in spades
Sorry to hear that. They can kick you off but they can't change what's in your heart and the hearts of so many, non-Jewish, Israel supporters...
True, but in all honesty, I was really brutal and straight forward in the least three days. I had many heated back and forths with Muslims, and Leftists, that I dont mind, I have been called everything , its when someone Joins a conversation and makes a statement about me, makes accusations, who has never even communicated with me once , I was really vulgar, in all honesty if you had of seen the post.......

There is a button lol? one click?
They are showing. Many people just won’t want to listen and already made up their minds far before this war broke out.
As Douglas Murray has said repeatedly, we need to let Israel win.
I live to hear Douglas Murray takedowns
And love them too!
What a mensch he is!
So why isn't any of this reported by "mainstream media"? Clearly, we need these stories to reach key people at key outlets, not just those of us who are already behind Israel 100% and don't need persuading.
They dont want this story told.
That’s why we started Future of Jewish :)
