Israel must not, under any circumstances, acquiesce to the West’s delusional, corrupted, conceited approach to the Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah war and a potential hostage deal.
Yup! In fact, Israel should issue a call to the citizens of Gaza demanding they release all hostages or the destruction of Gaza will increase tenfold as of now. No stopping until Hamas is utterly destroyed, Gaza is conquered, the IDF controls all life there and Jews move in to settle it while Muslims clear it of rubble with their hands.
Excellent essay as always. Negotiating with Hamas is as ridiculous as believing a two-state solution can work. I agree with Stephen Schecter's response. Hamas must be destroyed and hostages (whether deceased or not) be released. Playtime is over and it's time to finish the job. There's no room for negotiations; that has long passed.
Yes, and it’s bizarre to me that Western leftists who claim to be pro-peace want this. You can freeze and reverse isolated settlements and try to negotiate some understandings with the PA. Sure I never liked the settlements.
But Hamas and Hezbollah? Crush them. Western leftists claim to support a two state solution. Of course a two state solution would be a great outcome if it could somehow be made to work.
How can creating a Palestinian state ever be a SOLUTION and END the conflict if the terrorists are still around? Wanting negotiations that legitimize Hamas as the representative of the Palestinian people contradicts the goal of a two state solution!
Astute analysis. Unfortunately, the West is playing Realpolitik with unwilling pawns in its machinations.
Who would be surprised if one digs deep enough into those organizing and funding the family, friends, and Israeli leftist allies demonstrating in the streets and the media, to find a paper trail to Iran?
Thank you for this outstanding article. I agree! Hamas are masters of manipulation and there is no way that Israel should put anything in writing re a possible ceasefire. The west are spineless and inviting their own annihilation, they are so stupid, they have become blind to reality! Israel must hold fast to their own plan, they know the best course, however hard that may be. I believe they will succeed.
Make no deal with terrorists. Eliminate Hamas

Negotiating with Hamas? Like Chamberlain’s “Peace in our time” efforts. Doesn’t history teach us anything?

As a good friend of mine said years ago, when dealing with the likes of Hamas, you have to kill 'em, and kill 'em dead.
