"Netanyahu rejects the need for a strategy until Hamas is defeated, and opposes the Palestinian Authority having a leadership role in post-Hamas Gaza."

Nuttyahoo has to go before any more aid goes to Israel.
the Trump Cult!
Don't expect "Little Marco" to speak out about the Israelis attitude about sharing Intel with the US because Trump is trying to pander to Jewish voters here by taking a totally aggressive and punitive attitude towards Palestinians and "Little Marco" wants the VP spot. The Republican Party is the party of spineless cowardly partisan hacks. They used to claim to be the party of national defense and fiscal conservatives but today they are just the party of the Trump cult!"

until Hamas is defeated

and opposes the Palestinian Authority having a leadership role in post-Hamas Gaza. Palestinians living in Gaza.

Edited for accuracy.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned Israel's intelligence and security chiefs from meeting with U.S. officials

No worries, Nutty.

We'll continue giving you all the money and armaments you desire.

"We're not going to talk to anybody until we finish our genocide. Now send us more bombs so we can keep murdering children."

Israel needs to be cut off. At this point, it's a criminal state. Ideally we'd be sending in troops and Patriot missiles to Gaza, not to aid the genocide but to protect the victims.

The demand needs to either be a one-state solution with full citizenship and right to travel for all Palestinians, or a two-state solution with Israel back at the Green Line permanently. Anything less is unacceptable.

After the Crimes they have already committed for decades both of those things would be extraordinarily dangerous to the "Jewish State". They would have to stop being a Jewish state and become a multiethnic State with equal
Rights for all. I don't see The Jews consenting to THAT.

They are riding the Tiger. They can't get off and they can't let go.

All they can do is more of the same. The existential crisis with the Palestinians was created by the Israeli's themselves.

Any release of pressure will cause the Palestinians to rise up in an Intafada the likes of which has never been seen before.

Continuing the Repression is the only way to hold the status quo together.

I wish it was different. UN Peacekeepers could possibly make a difference.

But the commitment would have to be decades long and would be politically unpopular with the US and Israelis.

At bottom, the Jews seem to like Oppressing the Palestinians, it makes them feel Strong and in control.

But of course that's mostly illusion.

Circumstances can change. If they do and Israel finds itself vulnerable they will regret everything.

10/07/23 Scared them about the possibility of this. That's why they're being so Savage.

It's Fear not Strength.

It will make their worst nightmares real.

"Netanyahu rejects the need for a strategy."

Yeah no s---.

In hindsight, the lack of strategy was obvious on October 7.

... Netanyahu rejects the need for a strategy until Hamas is defeated, and opposes the Palestinian Authority having a leadership role in post-Hamas Gaza. ...

That lack of a strategy now has IDF going into areas of Gaza that they had previously cleared of Hamas because there was no strategy to keep the cleared areas free of Hamas.

Does this apparent intentional lack of a strategy mean that PM Netanyahu does not want the war to end?

Interesting Fareed Zacharia OpEd...

Fareed: Israeli military officials are turning on Netanyahu
www.cnn.com

... As President Joe Biden and some Israeli officials call for a viable post-war plan for Gaza's governance and reconstruction, Fareed argues Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hasn't offered one because continuing the war against Hamas will allow him to stay in power and avoid a looming prosecution. ...

There's a transcript here: archive.ph

Worth a viewing of the 5 minute video, or a read of the transcript, imo.

#8 I agree Russia was stupid to invade.

I agree they are in a similar predicament and can't escape from having to hold it all together too.

War is usually a mistake. Repression can't be lifted without societies blowing apart. Especially if the religion and cultures are different or at odds.

Overall, Israel is more effed up than Russia or Ukraine. More Dangerous even, to the world.

What's mainly different is the Eastern third of Ukraine seems to be Ok with Russia taking over.

Palestine has been a nightmare for the Israeli's Since they first started settlements there.

Big Time.

@#2 ... So. Everyone living in Gaza? ...

That's been my concern since it became evident that PM Netanyahu had not a strategy.

Are his efforts doing more to strengthen the need for a Hamas (maybe a group with a different name?) in Gaza?

Does he intend Israel to be the government of Gaza? If so, how is he effecting that goal? If not, what is he doing to put a government in place in Gaza that is not the Hamas?

At this point, I continue to hold the opinion that PM Netanyahu is fostering the creation of what he says he is trying to destroy.

The unspoken part is, Annexation and the removal of the Palestinian's.

Bibi's unspoken agenda is that of all Likudniks.

Jews will resettle Gaza.

Palestine will Die.

(sighs) Russia has more nukes than any other country, and more ambition against their neighbors and more ambition to control the World Order than Israel ever thought about having.

Bingo.

I find it interesting how the Putin parrot seems to continually try to downplay Pres Putin's ambitions.

It really needs to ask for better talking points, the ones issued to it are way too obvious.

The more brutal Netanyahoo is and the more land he takes, the more Palestinians join Hamas and the more violent Hamas gets.

The more Palestinians join Hamas and the more violent Hamas gets, the more justification Netanyahoo sees for being more brutal and taking more land.

The cycle is Netanyahoo's point.

White knight Benjamin Gantz will surely immediately usher in a new era of peace and not to delay the end to the invasion.

He is obviously is intent on rebuilding Gaza and pushing the settlers back as he prosecutes Netanyahu.

All that AND a pier, I'm curious if there is any aid being delivered or if journalists are allowed in yet?
