This Is No Longer Just Israel’s War; It’s Yours -

Israel's Plan for Post-Hamas Gaza Revealed by Former Diplomat (msn.com)  "Israeli forces preparing to invade the Palestinian Gaza Strip have no intention of re-establishing a permanent presence in the Hamas stronghold, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations has told Newsweek, as the under-siege coastal enclave withers under a pre-incursion air, land and sea bombardment.

"Danny Danon told Newsweek Israel is preparing to "use a lot of force in order to restore deterrence and in order to ensure that Hamas is not capable of doing it again," in reference to the group's weekend infiltration and rocket attacks.

"Israeli ground forces are soon expected to cross into Gaza "to destroy Hamas' capabilities," as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do." . . .

"A dark melancholy sets in upon seeing the Gaza Strip on the front page of the newspapers again. Back when I was a kid, I would listen to the latest news about the eternal confrontation on the radio and not understand any of it. Somehow I thought that war was just the norm in some countries. Israel is back on the front page, and our memories of decades ago would have us thinking this is a new chapter of business-as-usual. It is not. The terrorist attack of Oct. 7 represents a change of cycle for the entire West. There is no turning back.". . .

Comment to this postThe press spent four years screaming that Donald Trump would start a nuclear war. Instead, we got the Abraham Accords, the first presidential visit to North Korea, the end of ISIS, stability in Ukraine, and a planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Under Joe Biden, that Afghan withdrawal became a national embarrassment. Israel is in its biggest war in half a century, and Europe is in its biggest war since the defeat of Hitler. Everyone is waiting in fear, wondering “what war will start next?”

Joe Biden’s foreign policy is a calamity.

The Israeli Defense Forces tells i24NEWS: Around 40 babies were butchered in the village of Kfar Aza, in southern Israel 'We're going to go after Hamas. We're going to hunt them down. We're going to eradicate them' Danny Danon, Former Israeli ambassador to the UN says

Did Hamas just jump the shark? - American Thinker   . . ."Shooting up a harmless music festival is way too much for even woke progressives — let alone flaunting the naked bodies of freshly murdered women.  As I write, the revulsion on the left is still lurking below the radar.  But there really is no turning back.  However, resistance to the sad reality of the excesses of Islamic extremism is a process early in its beginning.  So far, the Taliban’s push against letting Afghan women learn how to read and write has been mostly poo-poohed...let alone the general treatment of women like dogs.

"Mark Steyn, in After America, describes Muslim enclaves in Europe before the mullahs’ takeover of Iran.  They were pretty much integrated into the rest of their world.  Children freely played in public, women were often uncovered, tension was minimal.  Then came the collapse of the Shah, and the religious police began to show up." . . .

A new template has been cast.  Hamas and its cohorts are on the other side.  Citizens of the modern world are undeniably repulsed by the unfolding of this episode.  The reluctance of doctrinaire leftists to admit the grotesqueness of these events will likely fade, and that will be a profound embarrassment.  Hamas’s intention has been to instill fear in the hearts of its enemies.  Instead, they have provoked profound hate and an unstoppable willingness to fight back.
