There’s only one way to win: Israel must stop worrying about the hostages #Hamas hold

The First Street Journal has previously stated that holding the hostages is the only weapon that the Hamas terrorists have left, and that, as harsh as it sounds, Israel must forget about the fate of the hostages and pursue its course of completely destroying Hamas. The terrorists’ military leader in Gaza — the vast majority of the Hamas leadership are already out, living their lives safely in Lebanon and Qatar — Yahya Sinwar is in power because the Israelis stupidly exchanged him, and over a thousand other ‘Palestinians’ in jail, for one Israeli soldier held hostage.

But it’s not an easy policy for Israeli families to accept. Not only are they agitating for the return of their hopefully still living relatives, there’s even pressure now from a relative for the return of her known-to-be-dead parents’ bodies. Continue reading

Nooo, not anti-Semitism at all! What would they have said had people been shouting at the 6.1% of the USC student body who are black, "Go back to Africa"? 

Genesis Chapter 15:

18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,

“To your descendants I have given this land,
From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:

19 the land of the Kenite, the Kenizzite, the Kadmonite, 20 the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”

That is how it should be, but, Alas!, so many students at our universities have no knowledge of the Bible, or seemingly of not-so-ancient history. Continue reading

Delusional! #Hamas are saying, in effect, that Israel has to give them something that they have not won on the battlefield to end the war! Hamas and the ‘Palestinians’ are not people with whom the civilized West can negotiate; they are simply barbarians who must be defeated, defeated so thoroughly that they can never rise again.

Are 120 hostages, at least some of whom are already dead, really worth Israel playing pattycake with the psychopaths in Hamas? From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading

Hamas really don’t want a ceasefire; they’re still trying for some sort of victory

The psychopath Yahya Sinwar. You can see the crazy in his eyes.

The continual calls for an Israel-Hamas ‘ceasefire’ are ridiculous: Israel’s policy should be a demand for unconditional surrender. That worked for the Allies during World War II, the last war that we actually won.

Top US diplomat says Hamas is moving the goalposts on a cease-fire

Today’s left and their whining about successful Israeli rescue missions No military anywhere strives for a 'fair fight'

My good friend William Teach noted that NBC News decided to take its cue from all of the pro-Palestinian/pro-Hamas Twitter bots out there, weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth that some poor, poor Palestinians were killed during the rescue, blaming a “failure of negotiations.”

“What we saw yesterday is actually failure of the negotiations,” Yossi Mekelberg, an associate fellow with the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, said in a phone interview with NBC News.

“Had there been a cease-fire, these hostages would already have been at home, and the civilians that were killed yesterday would be alive,” Mekelberg said.

There was a ceasefire in place, right up through October 6th. Had Hamas not broken that, those hostages would have always been at home, and the civilians killed in the rescue missions would still be alive. Continue reading

Israel busts yet another Hamas tunnel and weapons cache

It was not quite two weeks ago that President Joe Biden threatened to withhold American weapons shipments to Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent the Israel Defence Force into Rafah. The obvious question becomes: did Hamas have weapons stockpiled in Rafah, or did them move some from elsewhere into Rafah, hoping that Israel would kowtow to the dummkopf from Delaware’s demands?

IDF troops raid Hamas compound, seize weapons cache from hidden tunnel in Rafah

IDF troops say they eliminated ‘dozens’ of Hamas members

Israeli forces conducted a raid against a Hamas compound in Gaza on Tuesday, uncovering a tunnel and a significant cache of weapons and explosives. Continue reading

How interesting that inclusive places like Haverford College allow discrimination against Jews on campus

Haverford College was founded in 1833, as a men’s college, by members of the Religious Society of Friends, more colloquially known as Quakers. According to the school, 98% of the 1,472-member student body live on campus, and the college claims a six-to-one tree to student body ratio. Full disclosure: I did some work on the Haverford campus in the early 2000s.

A liberal arts college, they are most definitely liberal, as they have proudly posted about their student body ‘diversity,’ telling us that the Class of 2027 is 52.5% “identify as people of color”. No mention was made concerning whether Rachel Dolezal was a student. 🙂

Haverford isn’t cheap, as tuition, fees, and housing for the 2024-25 academic year totals $89,568, though they also say that 49% receive some sort of financial aid, 44% receive outright grants, with the average grant being $62,237.

So, you’d think that Haverford College is an inclusive and welcoming place, right? The college certainly advertises itself that way! Unless, of course, you’re a Jooooo! From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Continue reading

Hamas delendum est Concern for the hostages should not stop Israel from doing what is necessary

My New York Times subscription is less expensive than my subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The New York Times, one of the few newspapers which continues to engage in serious journalism these days, had a very long article on Yahya Sinwar, the senior Hamas official in Gaza:

Yahya Sinwar Helped Start the War in Gaza. Now He’s Key to Its Endgame.

Hamas’s leader in Gaza is considered an architect of the Oct. 7 attacks that prompted Israel to retaliate. As mediators seek a cease-fire, a deal depends on Mr. Sinwar as well as his Israeli foes.

By Patrick Kingsley, Julian E. Barnes and Adam Rasgon, Reporting from Jerusalem and Washington, the reporters spoke to officials from Hamas, Israel and the United States about Mr. Sinwar. | Mother’s Day, May 12, 2024

After Hamas attacked Israel in October, igniting the war in Gaza, Israeli leaders described the group’s most senior official in the territory, Yahya Sinwar, as a “dead man walking.” Considering him an architect of the raid, Israel has portrayed Mr. Sinwar’s assassination as a major goal of its devastating counterattack.
