Nobody but Hamas “precipitated” the terror attack, and Netanyahu is not going to resign.

An “end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” now would be the end for Israel.

Alon Ben-Meir's ravings should be what ends.

Agree. Left at the helm, this "man" could start W.W.111 and the destruction of Israel.

I agree with this article: Netanyahu is a monster and Israel's greatest enemy, possibly ever.

The only point I disagree with is that "he is preventing an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" - he is only preventing an end to the present eruption. That too is bad enough.

Dear Ttbn,

«An “end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” now would be the end for Israel.»

Not to worry, the conflict will not be over for the foreseeable future.
The IDF is strong enough to handle it, but for Israel to survive it now also requires the moral strength to conduct this conflict successfully.

This white feathered author, is a willing captive of Gadi Eisenkot, the Pied Piper of Jerusalem, the Poster Boy for an increasingly desperate and dwindling gang of Israeli leftist rats.

Before his next attempt to convince the non-convinced majority of realists, consider them with a break from the mad tedium of irrational defeatism and outright treachery his writings are, a re-streaming from the Biden Democrat administration that sees no fault in its own wide open Southern border, which encouraged the infiltration unhindered, of an estimated fifteen million illegals over the course of three years.

Bidens motley crew, are not the example of how to maintain peace and security of any borders, especially those as fragile and dangerous as is Israels many, made infinitely more dangerous with Biden blindly following Obamas strategy of Iranian appeasement.

What do you call "successful". Exterminating Hamas is a start; then there is Iran's proxy, Hezbollah, and Iran itself, and who knows what other lunatics are waiting in the wings.

Who will be more successful than Netanyahu? Certainly not the sort of person or people you prefer to Netanyahu. Too weak. Too Leftist.

Dear Ttbn,

«Who will be more successful than Netanyahu?»

Practically anyone, even your humble servant - it would be difficult to find anyone who could bring about a greater and more disastrous defeat to Israel than Netanyahu's.

Hamas is not exterminated, in fact it is growing, gaining more support in the West Bank and the Arab countries, while at least 20% of American citizens support it, not to speak of Europe.

Hamas strategically sacrificed Gaza on day 1 of this war, including its own fighters: it cares not if Gaza no longer exists and all Gazans dead, in fact it planned for just that. It cares only to harm Israel, no matter what the cost - attacking Hamas in Gaza is like trying to catch a deadly snake by its tail.

If you read the papers and comments in Israel, it is apparent that more and more Israelis, including from within Netanyahu's own party, realise that Israel is being defeated in this war.

The people of Israel are despaired, traumatised and downcast.
Even the killing of more Hamas militants in Gaza can no longer elevate their mood, it's all for naught, and most hostages are already dead.

Israel won the battle on Gaza - and lost the war, that because Hamas had a clever strategy and Netanyahu didn't have any. His only strategy is to try save himself from prison and his family from bankruptcy.

Israel is being hated around the world; and also finds it harder and harder to source ammunition. Israel's economy is faltering, so many Israelis are wounded, physically and mentally, so many haven't seen their homes and businesses in 6 months, Jews around the world are scurrying and afraid to leave their homes. What more signs of defeat do you need to be convinced?

What I call successful is to have a worthwhile cause to motivate one's own people, gather friends and split the enemies against each other. In contrast, Israel is losing its raison d'etre along with all its friends while uniting its enemies against it.

Netanyahu should not resign - he should be hanged!
