The Israeli Psyche and How It Got That Way

 

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2023/11/10/the-israeli-psyche-and-how-it-got-that-way-n591562

100%. Saw the video the other day on X. But yes, what's been proven Is that more concessions don't translate into more peace but the opposite is true. Once Israel withdrew from Gaza they were able to build the tunnels, get a ton of rockets and more explosives etc. All much worse than before. After the Oslo accords the west Bank was going the same way, operation defensive shield which I mentioned a few weeks ago and following up on it with smaller operations since (often referred to as "lawn mowing") have made things calm down somewhat (but still worse than what it was before the deals). 

 

Current model I think for gaza is similar. To go back to being like Area B of the west Bank. I think it's doable. I would say I was never part of the extreme left, but also not the right. Growing up, I believed in peace, wanted to see it happen and was excited whenever they televised any new signings.

 

That has changed for me as well. It's now obvious to anyone with a brain (seems half the world + is missing one) that if Israel doesn't retain control over security in those areas it will very quickly come under existential threat. 

 

Also about hezbollah I personally think they've already taken it too far. I'm really tired of over a month of nothing but threats from Israel as well as the US while this ####### for tat is ongoing and escalating almost daily. I say Beirut needs to get buried now, not later. Or as always, the "later" will carry a much heavier price

The irony is that now alot of the anti Israel dimwits keep saying "there is no hamas in the west Bank so why is Israel attacking there too". Just more lies from the pathological liars side. Israel is fighting hamas there all the time which is why it's been weaker ever since 2003. But it's definitely there and if Israel didn't do what it does it would have already taken over the west Bank as well

Israel Public News Station Video Shows Hamas Beating Civilians Seeking Humanitarian Aid (Watch)

 

[...] The video shows Hamas police beating Palestinians who were trying to get to food that was delivered by an aid truck.  According to the reporter, the source for the video claimed that the contents of the truck were then taken to supply Hamas' military wing.  While that aspect of the video cannot be confirmed here, the beatings taking place are very clear and undeniable.  [...]

Thoughts on this?  I think that even if these reliably anti-Israel outfits didn't know about the pending attack long in advance, they knew in time to communicate an emergency alarm as it began.

Media in Panic Mode Over Questions About Whether They Knew in Advance About Hamas Attack on Israel

 

On October 7, four photojournalists who provide reporting and photos for the likes of the Associated Press (AP), CNN, the New York Times, Reuters, and other outlets were allegedly at the Israeli border with Hamas terrorists who committed acts of atrocities against innocent Israeli civilians that shocked the world.  Since an Israel-supporting news watchdog website reported the claim, everyone wants to know if these Gaza-based reporters knew in advance about the attack and, more importantly, if they could have saved lives by alerting the world about it.  The question arises: Did the AP, CNN, the New York Times, and Reuters know about the Hamas terror attack in advance?  [...]

I do not think they are employees, freelancers, and I seriously doubt Hamas would give them advance notice, more likely a combination of opportunists and members of Hamas who also are photographers, part of their propaganda teams. There was film released of a Car Bob, IVIED?, released where they had overwatch, the Car was taken out by a tank, for the ill informed of course it works either way.

 

Everything I have seen so far suggests that there was general training but the specifics including the Go order went out in the early hours of the 7th.

Interesting -- possibly so, given the photo of the photographer being kissed by the head terrorist.

[OriZ 3,157]

They, like many gazans, sympathized and identified with hamas. The material they filmed was alot of basically hamas propaganda (in addition to the head camera footage by the terrorists themselves) in the guise of "journalism". I don't think they knew way ahead because most hamas members didn't, but they definitely knew what they're about to film when they rode the same bikes and trucks as the terrorists, and they definitely had a good time filming it. To me, they are terrorists and if they were directly targeted by the IDF, I would not shed a tear

A retired colonel in the Israeli Air Force once told me, "Kill them!  A dead terrorist can rarely cause you future problems."
