Yesterday’s rescue mission is an excellent demonstration that the IDF is performing much better than expected, including two massive deviations from the plan that occurred during the operation.
Wow! This was thrilling and a sharp reminder of the Israel of Entebbe!
The division that was happening before October 7th was not only the”…boiling-over division produced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extreme Right-wing government and their efforts at hurried, steadfast judicial reform…” It takes two to tango. While, in my humble opinion, the judicial reform was taken on too fast, as you say, still, the anger (and hatred? Dare I say?) was profoundly felt in the atmosphere.
So now, we understand that Am Yisrael is truly one body. The right hand of a body helps the left hand. It doesn’t cut it off.
I remember watching nightly news reports on the Entebbe hostages; the hijacking of plane, the release of the non-Jewish passengers and crew, the disappearance and murder of Dora Bloch.
Just four years after the murder of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, where the games continued on after their deaths, both events seemed like a modern revival of the Holocaust, observed pitilessly by much of the world.
I remember the Entebbe hero, Yonatan Netanyahu, using his life to save Jews. I don't know a lot of details about Bibi's politics, and what I do know (ideologically) I dislike. But from time to time, especially since 10/7, I think of him as Yonatan's younger brother. I imagine him as trying to save as many Israelis and Jews as possible, separate from political ambition.
Let’s hope that’s his intention. All this was on his watch, so he’s gonna pay, but I don’t believe he wants more dead Jews to save himself. I just can’t go along with that.
Thanks Liba . You said what I was intending. Glad you did first! I really liked this article; it gave me new ways of looking at old subjects and vice versa. My one deep pause was the sentence blaming it all on Netanyahu and his party. As you know- I think the root cause is baseless hatred Jew to Jew and that’s coming from all sides to each other. Otherwise great.
It was great news and it showed Hamas that in addition to fighting Hamas on the ground to degrade completely its military capacity the IDF knows how to think out of the box If you ever watched a certain Israeli series the plan was very reminiscent of a plot line in that series
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is an example that anyone with the attribute ‘socialist’ associated with them is a Hamas supporting shill. That also applies to academic left faculty, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, their current and former campaign members, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres.
Waking up to this news brought tears and joy of celebration. The intelligence, courage, and combined teamwork was remarkable. This is the Israel the weak-kneed West has to be reminded about. Am Israel Chai!!
Outstanding analysis! It is encouraging to see that Israel is once again, and hopefully permanently, realizing that, instead of a servant’s heart, it must live with a warrior’s heart and, indeed, never forget where it lives. God bless the IDF! They are an inspiration to the world.
Thank you! Well done reporting! I'd like to share this video with you Joshua. I only came across this Rabbi's videos a few days ago. This is the first of those that I watched. Note, he uses 'j-man's' name at the beginning and much later - but that is simply a tool for the shiur/video lesson's actual message and information. It may not seem so in the beginning but the talk is directly related to your essay and the messages within the essay as well as the action on the ground in the rescue and overall circumstances playing out.

Make no mistake: the “intelligence failure” before and on October 7th was NOT an “accident” … in addition to the complete failure of the multi-billion $$$ wall between Israel and Gaza.
The demons that infest the government and military on both sides are not off the hook after the rescue of four people.
Also, General Flynn and Jeffrey Prather discussed this “intelligence failure”. That interview on Rumble would be worth the listen. Flynn personally visited that wall. There is no way that it “failed” without high-level intervention.
Additionally, the 8-hour delay of the IDF was definitely intentional. Michael Yon has mentioned that several times. The time it takes a crew to get those aircraft (Apache helicopters and fighter aircraft) airborne is literally minutes.
I recommend listening to Alpha Warrior on Rumble. He is having a series on “Operation Gladio” with Colonel Turner. It covers over 150+ years of various events. They name names: Rockefeller, Dulles, McCain, etc. Very much worth the listen.
Additionally, all militaries have forces ready for things that happen unexpectedly. I spent time on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the 1980’s. We had an “Alert 5 fighter” (aka, ready to be in the air within 5 minutes). Israel absolutely has these quick response forces.
No such thing as "objective" in politics. It is your opinion, which - don't get me wrong - I fully respect. In today's political landscape these terms are very hard to define. Is Geert Wilders "extreme right wing" or is he a "libertarian populist"?
I *would* agree, however, that Bibi is demonstrably corrupt
Iran thought their Hamas puppets and Gaza pawns would be able to wage asymmetrical war and lose their way to effective victory for the Iranian imperialists. They have, so far, thought wrong. The countries making the corrupt decision to support genocidal Iran by condemning Israel have much to account for.
Yes! Agreed 100%. Yes there have been failings but this was a return to the utter brilliance of the Israeli rescue forces of old. How wonderful that these hostages are back with their families. You are so right the mindset must be, our people at all costs. The lies that others choose to believe are utterly irrelevant!
Or perhaps the overreaction of Israel's extreme left wing to needed judicial reform. Recall how the left instigated members of the IDF and IAF and other defense and intelligence agencies to abandon their positions in protest. That was an abomination. National security should NEVER be held hostage to domestic politics. Anyway, Bibi's government is hardly extreme right-wing.
"All indications are that this utter Israeli failure was at least in part produced by the internal, boiling-over division produced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extreme Right-wing government and their efforts at hurried, steadfast judicial reform".
Very good news to hear. God Bless the IDF and Israeli intelligence.
The best news ever. And now, let's get the rest of the hostages.

he is not going to pay for anything.he is saving people of Israel no one can do what he is doing.
god protect him he lost a brother and do not want to loose more jews.

Great writing. Pointing out what failure would have looked like was an important point.
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is an example that anyone with the attribute ‘socialist’ associated with them is a Hamas supporting shill. That also applies to academic left faculty, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, their current and former campaign members, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres.
Luciferians by definition are against God and His people.
BERNIE SANDERS IS THE WORST JEW MAYBE HE HAS NAZI BLOOD IN HIM.
HE REMINDS ME OF THE JEWS THAT TO SAVE THEM SELF THEY WERE DENOUNCING OTHER JEWS BUT AT THE END THEY HAD THE SAME TREATMENT.
Waking up to this news brought tears and joy of celebration. The intelligence, courage, and combined teamwork was remarkable. This is the Israel the weak-kneed West has to be reminded about. Am Israel Chai!!

That is right; responsibility still exists.
This was intentional?

Speculation is cheap.

Yes it was a very long time.
I don't believe military forces should be rushing in without knowing what's going on.
Flying around in expensive aircraft trying to locate bad guys isn't a wise thing to do.
I have no patience for conspiracy theory crap.
I don't know who Generals Flynn and Prather are, but I suspect they are of the Scott Ritter and General McGregor type who are anti-Israel.
General Flynn actually visited that Gaza walk while he was on active duty
Jeffrey Prather: DEA, Military, whistleblower who was fired and who they tried to prosecute …
General Flynn. He worked for Trump until the whole legal thing he went through … they tried to put him in prison and ruin his life too
It appears Flynn is a kook who associates with Qanon types. Do not trust anything he says. https://radiopatriot.net/2023/12/27/flynn-there-was-a-decision-made-to-have-a-security-stand-down-on-the-7th-of-october-for-7-hours/
Flynn is not to be trusted. https://www.jta.org/2021/11/15/politics/jewish-groups-join-denouncers-of-michael-flynn-for-calling-on-the-us-to-have-one-religion
Ok, I know who Flynn is.
Fine piece but I could do without the "extreme right wing government" shiboleth reminiscent of the NYT
עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱 Am Israel Chai
Objectively it is an extreme right-wing government though…
No, it is not "extreme right wing". Save rhe politics for after the war is won.
