Hamas has no incentive to neither release hostages, nor do they have any reason to do anything other than being Hamas.

I felt in my heart that it was a matter of time before Biden would yield to Obamaism foreign policy

How much more do you need to state you are changing your Biden vote??

I support everything you say, but you are still implying that Biden is your guy and will get your vote. Why not be a model for other Democrat voting American Jews?

Liberalism believes giving a belligerent more to lose means they will become “rational” and eventually accept western values. Unfortunately, the State Department’s stale and failed policies based on liberalism may never work with jihadists. Jihadists (e.g., Shiite Iran; Sunni Hamas) by definition cannot become “rational” and accept peace with Israel.

Sorry but this is a world wide Muslim religious war. It started in the US with the militarized invasion of colleges with the BDS movement

So stop blaming politicians professors left right Democrat Republican conservative liberal

And start realizing Muslims have already invaded the USA

I have been saying, seems, forever: history is written NOT by victors, but by those who write. We have no idea about the real history of Chile, why the army, just like Egyptian in 2012, had no choice but to move in to save Chile from the murderous Allende’s regime. We know precisely the opposite.

Now Amazon provides the platform for the Hamas terrorist leader or whoever wrote for him:

I don't agree that these young people supporting hamas are "naive" and "misinformed". They are morally depraved and evil. As for that "aid" group, the head of it is a highly politicized left-wing hack. He exploited the hurricane in Puerto Rico to attack Trump. He is not an innocent and good person.

All Hamas has to do it release the hostages and surrender, and it will be over in minutes. The fact that they don't, tell you they have no intention of doing so and want to perpetuate the conflict. As you correctly pointed out many times, Hamas is winning the war of public opinion by using human shields. Like someone once said, when your house is on fire, you don't put out 75% of the fire. Hamas has to be completely eradicated, that is the only way going forward. Let Israel ignore the naysayers and move on, finish the job.

—Don’t disagree, though I think that Israel must rely solely on its first hand knowledge and experience—on the critical importance of defending itself—and not on what the waffling Biden Administration advises.

Step back and you will see that we are dealing with an organized crime syndicate masquerading as the Democratic Party. They are simply Satanic and it is time to eliminate them and their allies from the face of Western Civilization. If we do not we will all perish. There is no room for compromise, no room for negotiation. They have crossed our Rubicon and here is only one way to deal with them and tha tis their complete elimination. You think that extreme, then wait of November and you wilt l witness electoral fraud on a scale that that dwarfs 2020. We write about his at ispeakfortrump com.

Looks like a losing case, doesn't it Alan? Biden is dumping you two.. If buddy Netanyahu pushes the IDF into Rafah, it will be his very last hurrah. No more dinners with him then. People who have relevant knowledge seek Jon Stewart, not you, for analysis. You are of course never open to persuasion, but Stewart's program on Monday was a masterpiece. Hell being 85, is it not. You had a long run, Avoiding indictment in America for your decade plus Epstein involvement surprised and of course disappointed me. But America has become like you. Money,power, influence and pugnaciousness (that's a word, right?) are the goals and determine result. There is an enormous silver lining in your defeat. With the rejection of you and buddy Bibi, israel will be free to evolve, just as America and Northern Ireland evolved in the past 60 years, hopefully in the direction of equal rights for all, dismantling of the quasi-theocracy and the apartheid structures,,and a fundamental change in Israeli behaviour in line with the Rules Based Order. So, Alan, as Bob Dylan said "get out of the way" and take Bibi with you. He can get asylum in Marthas Vineyard. people there will leave you alone. In fact, they shun you, don't they? So it would be nice to have Bibi living with you, sharing your life. Bye.

The Biden Administration's strategy to divide Jerusalem is at the root of this dead tree!

This is a false narrative. Hamas started this war precisely to cause as many civilian deaths as possible, to make Israel look bad and generate maximum attention and sympathy for their cause, which they have succeeded at. Hamas has already won the PR war. Hamas can do damage to Israel, but it does not have the capacity to be an existential threat. How many more civilian deaths are you willing to accept in order to eliminate Hamas? Besides which, Netanyahu enabled Hamas, knowing exactly what the were and what their goals were, cynically playing them off against the PA. Then Netanyahu failed to to defend Israel, and now he wants the US to provide unquestioning support in money and US credibility, while continuing to act in ways that will only exacerbate longterm hostilities and risk dragging the US into another war. I am not against the US helping Israel to defend itself, within reason, but Netanyahu and his far-right coalition need to go.
