At some point, rational people, if they exist in this realm, will realize that every single on of these Iranian surrogates is doing their bidding at immense cost and no hope for success.
Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis are all going to lose this battle.
The Palestinian civilian population will bear the brunt, but the struggle to eliminate Israel is a stupid, losing battle that will never succeed and needs to be abandoned.
The faster that is realized, the lower the body count.

It's like killing an idea. Not something you can just do
I think you are remarkably naive about this issue.
Iran is paying individuals a ton of money to do this wet work for them.
There isn't some religious devotion to a cause here.
The Israelis are pretty good at getting at the people responsible, and I support them terminating them with prejudice.
I have no sympathy for Iranian paid murderers.

How do you get rid of "hamas" ? Kill all the young men in Gaza?
I'll leave that to the Israelis.
They have a history of getting rid of individuals.
Far better a history than us and any other country.
The long term mistake would be to allow them some kind of survival, so the Israeli citizenry can be slaughtered again.
It is time to end Hamas.
Soon enough, it will be time to end Hezbollah.
Or, alternatively, end the Iranian Islamic regime, which would solve it all.

Madam Vice President, there was a ceasefire.
Hamas broke it, slaughtering women and unborn babies.
Get rid of Hamas, then a ceasefire, but she it too stupid to understand that.

Agreed. Extremely weak response.
Impeachment or not, I can't believe that Biden hasn't fired him.
Totally speculative on my part, but I wonder nonetheless.
As someone who seems to lean left, but not outrageously, have you any view on the Biden appointments?
The confirmation hearings are horrible.
Totally incompetent individuals being exposed in hearings as having no idea what they are talking about, let alone qualified for various positions.
Does this concern any Biden supporter?

Two issues.
One is the lack of governance on prohibiting illegal immigration.
We have laws on this. They need to be enforced. If they are not enforced, we need to hold those responsible for non enforcement responsible, and this is the Biden Administration.
The other issue is holding countries responsible for fomenting the problem responsible.
A number of attempts have been made in that regard from an aid perspective, but we need to after them in a threatening manner.
Not nice, but we are suicidal in this regard, and that benefits nobody.

I listened to an extensive, probing radio show today.
Two separate organizations.
Both concluded that supporting illegals costs the US about $150 billion per year.
That is after subtracting their tax contributions from the expenses they cause.
That means $1156 per year from each American taxpayer.
This is one more thing that is simply unsustainable.
In education costs alone, it is estimated to a $69 billion drain from our schools.

The president has very little to do with economic results.
He can screw various things up, as Biden did when he instituted idiotic energy policy, which he did on his first day, and exacerbated energy costs after Russia invaded Ukraine, but the US economy is so big that any president has little impact on it.
The president can set the atmosphere, but that takes years to have an impact.
Point being, Biden deserves no credit for what is a very limited stock market rise.
The market, as measured by the Dow and S&P is driven by the success of very few companies.
People who trade know this.
People who don't assign credit where it is not valid,
What Biden, and Trump before him have done, is promoted reckless fiscal policy, ie., printing money, that has led to massive deficits.
Some of this was needed to keep the ship afloat during the covid issue.
Some was purely a political move, kind of like strapping the US taxpayer with student loan debt.

You’re a perfect example of being brainwashed. Who said Hamas is getting their ass kicked! Who?? How do you even know that? I’ll tell you how. It’s because you’re a sheep. You believe everything they tell you. You have no clue if Hamas is getting touched. Unless you equate civilians with Hamas.
it is a genocide. They called Oct 7th a genocide and you ate that ***** right up probably. I never heard you debunk that claim.
You’re incapable of having critical thought. There’s no way Oct 7th happened the way they said it did. Why else would they make it a 5 year prison sentence if you question it? Innocent people don’t behave that way.
Sure.
I'll continue to watch what happens.

Yes. But again: that doesn't mean that ostensibly civilized nations need to play their game.
And do what?
Continue to put up with this?
Their game doesn't need to be played with.
It needs to be eliminated, or this never ends.
Nobody away from Israel knows what their situation is.
Ergo, in my view, nobody in the US can judge.

So genocides just happen in one way?
We can agree that this is group punishment, right?
People that had nothing to do at all with attacking Israel are being starved, bombed, and shot, right?
Sub human? Like the people that funneled money to Hamas? And did not have a watch on a group sworn to destroy Israel? Netanhoo let them attack.
The claim that Netanyahu allowed them to attack is stupid and ignorant.
Stop with that nonsense,
Nope. Nope and nope.
Genocide is your assertion. Not mine, and not factual or supported.
Hamas has set things up to ensure that civilians get killed.
That's how they play their game.
That is a universal strategy among Islamic military planning.
Start a war, which they did.
Get you ass kicked, which they are doing.
Appeal to the international community for mercy, claiming war crimes/genocide/whatever, from the entity that you attacked.
Rinse repeat, over and over.

It's very much turning into a genocide
It just is
Sure.
You would know.
The Holocaust was genocide.
Ridding an aggressive enemy, determined to exterminate you, capable of inhuman actions against women and children, including the unborn, and all of your people is not genocide.
It is survival, and I'm all for it.

Why not? How come they get a blank check to commit genocide?
One of the interesting things about your posts is that they almost always contain a false premise, or accusation.
If anyone is interested enough to respond, they have to respond to that nonsense.
It's quite similar to the "have you stopped beating your wife" query.
This one is typical.
They don't get a blank check to commit genocide.
Nobody here, me included, has any idea what is going into their planning and execution.
They are determined to get rid of Hamas, and whatever Netanyahu eventually completes, it will be his last action.
A huge proportion of the Israeli population that serves is involved in this. Way more than any ignorant American can surmise.
But....To the point, getting rid of Hamas is going to be incredibly ugly, because that's the way they, (Hamas), have structured it, as always.
They structured the chessboard. Quit complaining when the other side plays it.

To the Jesuit, the proper formulation was more like this: "Hamas needs to surrender for the good of the people it supposedly represents, and Israel's campaign of total war on Gaza is morally repugnant."
There is no one here who can judge Israel's response.
not me or anyone else.
I always think it's funny when Americans voice opinion on situations they think they are informed of, but actually know nowhere near enough to justify opinion.
Thirty years of international travel taught me that, so I simply don't judge based on exposure to what the US media reports.
What happened on Oct 7 was sub-human.
The Israelis have had enough, and Hamas needs to be eliminated, or this happens again and again.
The Israelis are attempting to eliminate Hamas, not do some kind of proportioned response, which is idiotic, and given Hamas' and other similar strategies employed in that region, Hamas is quite happy to sacrifice civilians to protect themselves and garner international sympathy after their deeds are responded to.

When will it be enough though? The Bill has been paid. How many have to die before you change your tune? You… not the govt… not Israel. You.
Easy question.
It will be enough when they are gone.
The "bill" will come due again and again until they are gone.
This ends today if Hamas releases all the hostages and their leaders get on the next transportation to Iran, or wherever they can spend their acquired wealth, which is apparently significant, from years of abuse.
They can then spend their lives looking over their shoulders, because Israel is know for settling scores.
(See the Munich massacre of the Israeli Olympic team and what happened those those involved).
It is not enough to allow them to retool and do what they did again.
Netanyahoo will be gone and some new dynamic will emerge, but to leave Hamas in charge is not wise.

The economic performance of the US is pure testament to our private sector industrial skill.
It has nothing to do with political leadership, which has been an anchor.
The man we have in charge now, along with his entire cabinet and appointees, have no private industry experience.
They have nothing to do with this success, and it would have been greater if not for their efforts.

Maybe Trump's alleged antisemitism and call to action against them are because he really doesn't like his Jewish grandchildren.
This place gets more and more stupid.

Good God you're pathetic.
He's not an "analyst."
He's the national director and CEO of the Anti Defamation League.
Prior to that he was a Special Assistant in the Obama Administration.
This knucklehead claim is right up there with your hilariously ignorant claim that Biden was responsible for Social Security cost of living increases.
Ever hear about Trump moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv on the anniversary of the creation of the Jewish state?
You are ignorant and pathetic.

Are you genuinely suggesting that Trump's antisemitic rhetoric is not related to the rise in antisemitism?
The guy is on CNBC often.
He has never made that accusation.
So...to answer your idiotic question, I think you are a lunatic.

I saw that entire segment, as well as many others he was a guest on.
It had nothing to do with Trump, and he is no fan of the current administration.
What he always claims, and with knowledge and experience, is the void in leadership on college campuses.
That is his point.
Nothing to do with Trump.

This entire ceasefire suggestion is a case study in Biden politics.
There was nothing close to a ceasefire agreement, according to either side, but the Administration released the suggestion.
But..... We had the Michigan primary yesterday, so this ridiculous thing was thrown out there to appease.
Total political, and predictable nonsense..
Bad form to quote myself, but now Biden has admitted it aint happening by Monday, which the Administration had suggested.
So grossly transparent an attempt to assuage Michigan voters.
