Bibi Adviser: Gaza War Will Continue at Least Thru 2024

@#18 ... What is his end-game?

An immediate victory.

He's 74 years old. Not sure he'll live long enough for there to be long term goals. ...

Yeah. Maybe.

But PM Netanyahu has other issues...

For example...

What is the latest on Netanyahu's corruption trial? (2023)
apnews.com

... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial has resumed after a month-long break, refocusing the spotlight on the long-serving leader's legal woes after a wave of protests over his government's plan to overhaul the country's judiciary.

Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate scandals involving powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies wrongdoing.

Critics say that Netanyahu is driven to weaken the courts and change the judicial system as a way to open an escape route from his trial, claims he dismisses as untrue.

The corruption charges also have been at the center of a protracted political crisis that sent Israelis to the polls five times in less than four years "--each vote essentially a referendum on Netanyahu's fitness to rule. After losing power in 2021 to a coalition of opponents, Netanyahu returned as prime minister late last year, despite his legal problems. Under Israeli law, the prime minister has no obligation to step aside while on trial.

Here is a look at the ongoing trial: ...

Netanyahu Asks to Postpone Testimonies in Corruption Trial Until After War (March 2024)
www.haaretz.com

... Netanyahu's lawyers' motion to the court asked to postpone testimonies 'as long as there is no substantial change in the security situation in the country,' citing difficulties in communication between the PM and his legal team due to the war in Gaza ...

So.... PM Netanyahu seems to have a personal benefit for extending the war for as long as he possibly can get away with doing.

Just an observation ....

Also. Not saying 74 is old.

But. Netanyahu has a goal. It's to take over Gaza and then the West Bank.

@#22 ... But. Netanyahu has a goal. ...

I disagree with that goal.

My current opinion is that he is extending the war to avoid prosecution.

There is a significant faction in Israel that seeks an extended Israel without Palestinians. Look up "hilltop youth" who want the entire West Bank cleared of Palestinians.

"From the River to the Sea Palestine/Israel will be Free".

Both sides love that one. Just pick which and chant away.

They both call it a hate slogan.

Israel will occupy the strip as long as we occupied Iraq. The end game is the destruction of Hamas as an entity capable of governing Gaza.

Grow up twits, you will bitch but you will vote Biden.

One thing Nobody saw it coming, Hamas killing off DEI in the US. It's disappeared from earnings calls and the staff for it are being let go in many places, and Harvard will no longer make political statements.

Maybe next time throw less gays off of buildings in your fight for ethnic justice

"Hamas killing off DEI in the US."

Hamas succeeded where Republicans failed.

Naturally, Republicans are looking to Hamas for more leadership guidance.

"The end game is the destruction of Hamas as an entity capable of governing Gaza."

Thats also the beginning game and the middle game.

Netanyahu doesn't have an end game. He just has endless destruction.

It's a move right out if the Hamas playbook: Israel will be wiped from the face of the earth and removed from the pages of history. Except it's Gaza.

"One thing Nobody saw it coming, Hamas killing off DEI in the US."

Now that's the kind of thing which can really help people understand how Netanyahu can find a power-sharing partner in Hamas: A common enemy.

They kind of do. Rafah refugee camp borders the Egyptian side of the wall and there's probably at least 50 tunnels between Egypt and that camp. It's the source of Hamas logistics.

They're going to bulldoze everything along the wall, create a new buffer zone between Rafah and the wall, then put up a second wall. It's similar to Caesar at Alesia, except they'll use this buffer zone to drill downward and attack new smuggling tunnels, and seed the entire area with vibration sensors and microphones in boreholes. There will be another buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the new wall where anybody that goes near it gets shot.

Oh no! SitzKrieg (#32) has described an actual strategy that Israel has for conducting this war and defending itself from future terrorist attacks (and is not committing GENOCIDE!).

That must put the Pro-Hamasers panties in a bunch. Since they think that the Platonic ideal of warfare is raping and murdering 1,200 civilian men, women, and children at music festivals.

"WW3 is more likely to come out of Israel than Ukraine."

No, pretty sure the nukes will be launched from Russia. Ukraine has not made a single threat of the use of nuclear weapons; Pitin has threatened several times.

The idea that Israel is the first country to start a nuclear exchange is one of the most plausible nuclear scenarios. It's the only nuclear armed power that's gone to war with all of its neighbors at once and may one day do that again.

but thankfully a massive technology gap, and the current dependence of those neighbors on US hegemony, make it a far fetched notion.

I did pick Caesar at Aleisa for a reason. Once Celtic leadership was captured and mostly murdered, the Celtic Holocaust began and an estimated 2 million people died as their civilization fell apart and was exploited by the Romans.

"The idea that Israel is the first country to start a nuclear exchange is one of the most plausible nuclear scenarios."

Has everyone already forgotten about North Korea?

Don't worry. Kim hasn't forgotten about you.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un believes that US policy is making nuclear war inevitable because he believes that his country is under an existential threat by America.

Uh huh. NK is a rational actor. Their artillery wall went obsolete so nukes were the only option to ensure their security. They're a crime family that runs a company as a slave empire.

"Biden supporting Netanyahu is going to give us Trump."

Nope again, princess.

"Months into the Israel-Hamas war, roughly six-in-ten Americans (58%) say Israel's reasons for fighting Hamas are valid. But how Israel is carrying out its response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack receives a more mixed evaluation. About four-in-ten U.S. adults (38%) say Israel's conduct of the war has been acceptable, and 34% say it has been unacceptable. The remaining 26% are unsure."

www.pewresearch.org

You don't seem to venture out much, but generally USans seem to have a vastly different view of the ground truth than you do. But maybe you're Muslim. Almost half of American Muslims polled say that Hamas should fight Israel, and 21% say that 10/7 was acceptable.

Anyways, I don't think that is going to play well with the center. Which is why people like you need to find a way to subjugate and control the population if you ever want to be in charge.

Dude, you're Hallucinatin'. Find some common ground with reality please.

It's embarrassing to read.

I'm not sure who you're referring to, but it appears that many USans don't view the Islamic Resistance as being markedly different than the Islamic State. And I would tend to agree with them.

Our personal opinions are immaterial, however. Come voting time, the preference of the majority will be made known.

Netanyahu, doing everything he can to help Trump win in November.

Biden supporting Netanyahu is going to give us Trump.

Nah, the Islamist agitators and know-nothing university students in masks and keffiyehs (new fashion statement of the "Resistance" - Che's beret is so old) may just do unto Biden in 2024 what BLM did unto Hillary in 2016. White Privilege Matters, bitches! While most non-involved LatinX, BlackX, AsianX and WhiteX are busy with their own actual problems like increased COL and disappearing / thin job market.

And wait till some of these financially illiterate find out what the "D" in the BDS really means for their education cost (same old playbook, but Israel is not South Africa of 30-40 years ago), or what "From the River to the Sea" really means - most can't point out which river or the sea on the map, especially one that says "Palestine" / "Palestinian Territory" without "Israel" on it.

Basically, until the absurdly amorphous and unreachable/unattainable "goal" is achieved?

You are paying too much attention to politicians, "neutral / both sides" reporting by Western media and Effeteposer scripts, and aren't paying enough attention to what has been happening on the ground.

Israel is moving Gazans to "safe zones" to seal / destroy / "sanitize" the tunnels in the opened areas and in the process occasionally kill the Hamas HVTs. Rafah is about [near] the last stop, with Hamas having ~3.5 battalions there and massive net of tunnels, but IDF is going slowly because of civilian casualties and other "red lines" and distribution of food/aid which is uncoordinated, incompetent and being stolen by Hamas, for their own use and to sell at skyrocketing prices.

Arabic countries in and around the region (except for Algeria) want "Palestinian problem" instigated by Iran to go away and have long refused to contribute to "Palestina Gaza" and "Palestina West Bank" and are only happy that Israel is one taking the flack for doing "something" about it.

Gazans themselves have increasingly started blaming Hamas for their misfortunes since about December 2023:

www.wsj.com - Gazans are starting to blame Hamas for the suffering and those voices are getting louder - 2023 December 21

www.latimes.com - Rage in Gaza isn't directed only at Israel. Some are angry with Hamas too - 2024 Jan 31

www.washingtonpost.com - In war-battered Gaza, residents grow angry with Hamas - 2024-04-27

|------- "It's a silent and gradual revolution that is spreading and brewing among displaced and suffering civilians in Gaza who hold Hamas, the nihilistic criminal enterprise that has governed Gaza since 2007, responsible for their annihilation, suffering, misery and displacement," Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, an American political analyst originally from Gaza...

"[Hamas] destroyed us " we must get rid of them." Yousef Mahmoud Hamad Al-Mansi, a former Hamas minister, who was arrested by Israel on Dec. 5, was referring to Hamas and its current leader, Yahya Sinwar...

Palestinian woman angrily tells a journalist from the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network that the people in Gaza are starving. When the reporter answers that it's because no aid is coming in, the woman responds boldly that it is "all going to the tunnels underground... . Hamas takes everything to their homes." ...

And so on and so on...
