Hamas doesn't want to end the war because they see the continuation of the war as hurting Israel. Israel needs to consider a bigger picture Israel could follow the idea of Jonathan Schanzer and stick to the various corridors plus a buffer zone. Flood the remainder with aid, but don't

I am tired of bad arguments and I am especially tired of Jon Stewart and Peter Beinart, two pet Jews for people who hate us. Here's some actual arguments about what is happening in Gaza that are much harder to dismiss with semantic debates about antisemitism, a thread.

Today in the Wall Street Journal: a letter to the editor from yours truly. The proximate cause for Palestinian displacement in 1947-1949 was the war *against* Israel's creation. Absent the war, it just wouldn't have happened.

It's funny how NYT and other outlets have always appended "without providing evidence" when citing IDF sources, without adding the same caveats for the Hamas-run health ministry. But when two anonymous IDF sources say Hamas doesn't steal aid "routinely," despite all evidence to

The New York Times published a dramatic photo of a child to illustrate starvation in Gaza, without knowing- or attempting to verify beforehand - that he suffers from a severe pre-existing muscular condition. This isn’t a real correction- let alone an apology.

Israel's cabinet after 1967 determined it was willing to give back the whole Sinai though. Their position hardened to seeking to retain the eastern third of Sinai due to Khartoum (1967) and the 1967-1970 War of Attrition. Dayan meanwhile didn't even want to capture the Canal in

Trump just gets how power works. "Is there any use at all in pressuring Israel now to come to some sort of longer-term solution?" Trump: "If you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas,and I'm not about to do that."

Of course, none of the Arab/Gulf states are actually likely to enforce this disarmament or surrender themselves. But it's also a sign that they may not necessarily stop Israel from finishing the job either. Same with France, etc.

Yes there is hunger in Gaza. Hamas has weaponized hunger. Not only has Hamas sought to steal aid, it opposes the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation because it’s funded by Israel and the US and gets food directly to hungry Gazans. But the GHF can’t do it all, even at million meals a

Mearsheimer: The Russophobia in the West is so powerful at this point in time. Goes on to say that Russia has "won this war" and that Ukraine and NATO are responsible for the conflict because of NATO expansion. Quite literally a Russian Foreign Ministry readout.

Important thread here. It appears the former US SOF that worked in Gaza lied about everything and basically is trying to get back at his boss for firing him. This guy was interviewed by the BBC and others that didn’t do their job and actually checked this guy out before

On the subject of "Palestinian Authority Reform" A flashback to the 2002 calls for PA Reform. An excerpt from Arafat's War by Efraim Karsh Pages 237 to 239. On May 5 [2002], during a visit by Sharon to Washington in which he tried to convince his hosts to sever all ties with
