1. Why Israel should take out Sinwar and Haniyeh now
steven gilbert ,   teaneck   (08.25.19)
Hamas is infecting Yehuda and Shomron. As Fatah weakens, Hamas' ability to organize in Y&S will only increase. Israel should disrupt the process by taking them out now.

Israel can handle the fallout and Islamic Jihad.
2. There he goes again: "diplomatic process". I wonder: are
(08.25.19)
these pawns that dumb, or do they regard average citizen that stupid?!
3. Weak, stupid politicians
DSM ,   USA   (08.25.19)
Quite on the border never happened because Israel achieved a complete victory and then gave Gaza back to the defeated. What could that go wrong?
4. wake up you Israeli voters
ed   (08.25.19)
you Israeli voters must decide finally who to choose in the elections.

netanyahu cannot change the situation with Hamas-he is a prisoner of ransom. likewise gantz is unable to damage hamas. Note that his associate yaalon objected to bennett going into the field to sound out commanders on the ground on what was happening during the gaza war. yaalon was more concerned about protecting his turf than finding out what was going on where changes might have to be made. so yaalon is a big talker but not the war fighting general that i would ever choose again.

when shapira severely and i mean severely criticized bibi, gantz and yaalon during the Gaza war, lapid had sided with gantz against Bennett. i remember that well. so forget about lapid-he is useless in any security role.

Bennett has been consistent about taking the initiative and making changes on the ground. shapira says he was exacty right during the gaza war. bibi was pathetic, just pathetic. recall his popularity sank like a stone.

so vote for yamini, bennett and shaked and give them 20-25 seats. there is no reason to put your trust in bibi or gantz.

if Bennett and shaked get 20-25 seats, then they could join with likud who will be lucky to get 20 seats, the religious parties, and zehut if feiglin gets in and possibly join with some other mks to form a majority. certainly if they announced that bibi will be replaced shortly after the elections when he is indicted, that would increase the odds.

southerners who are sick of bibi's weak responses should vote for bonnet.

otherwise you will get bibi #2 with gantz including withdrawals from parts of west bank.

And if you want any hope of getting some prisoners/remains back, that will not happen with bibi or gantz. it could happen with bennett where top hamas leadership will be targetted for capture or worse.
5. the only heavy decision
PermReader   (08.25.19)
The last proposal of Hamas military elimination looks as it fears the government by unknown change for other militants. The old Bibi is impotent for this,the new right people needed.
6. Gaza will not be defeated as long as Shia terror regime rule
C   (08.25.19)
gaza is a proxy of the hitlerite shia terror regime of iran.

this vile, genocidal regime trains and finances all of its proxies,
including hezbollah, hamas, islami jihad.

they have the moneys gifted them by the pro-islamic marxist obama.
for this great benevolence obama was given the nobel peace prize
when he was barely elected.
the eu is ruled by unelected bureaucrats who are mostly "progressives."
"progressive" does not mean progressive in its original meaning. it
means a system of marxist like autocracy. if the west is not careful,
it will end up with police states.
