Meanwhile on the International front....

Most peculiar, mama.

 

Stefanik is an idiot and she based a good bit of her questioning on false premises, but she was right to hammer then with that one question and they all failed to answer it properly.

 

IDF ready to flood the Hamas tunnels with seawater. In that case, kiss the remaining hostages goodbye.

Israel could destroy Hamas tunnels with flood of seawater

 

Doing some math here ... If the force is 30,000 and they've killed 5,000 and you figure a couple more thousand are probably wounded to the point they are out of action ... Carry the one .... About a quarter of Hamas' army has been incapacitated in two months.
That seems pretty efficient, not a sign that Israel is bogged down.

 

I cannot read the article for more context than what was posted.
I can't figure the numbers. How does the IDF have such exact figures and why would it put them out there when it seems like a failure? To justify the move into the South?

 

Hamas is never going to let most of them go. One theory I heard now is that they have been beating and sexually abusing the women they took as hostages and they don't want those stories getting out. Given what they did to many of their victims Oct. 7, that isn't hard to believe.

 

Angry relatives of Hamas captives and ex-hostages confront Netanyahu

 

That is very sad, but not at all surprising and it changes nothing in the discussion. Of course, the goal should be to bring them all home. Of course, the families want that to be the first and only priority. Of course, they are being treated poorly by Hamas and used as human shields. In your link, what exactly is new? Israelis blaming Netanyahu and questioning his motives? That has been happening there and in the U.S. since Oct. 7. Netanyahu is a piece of shit. That doesn't mean he isn't right in saying Hamas would never release all the hostages in one deal.

There is a lot of speculation being passed off as fact in that article.

I see you have decided to ignore the issue of offering a viable suggested course of action for Israel so you can go back to bashing them. I take to mean you have no such suggestion. That's what I thought.

 

It's an opinion piece.

It's also not incumbent on anyone - here or elsewhere - to suggest remedies as a condition for commenting on what's happening.
