Rush Limbaugh used to say that the only way the Israeli/Palestinian conflict ends is when one side is wiped out by the other

I agreed with him then  and I still agree with that statement. The likes of  HAMAS and Hezbollah  are not interested at all in any kind of peace with Israel

If Israel hopes to end these kind of attacks, they have to operate with a very heavy hand and be brutal. World opinion be damned.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Now that the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and her Carrier Strike Group are Enroute towards the Eastern Mediterranean, NATO will soon have a Massive Naval Armada in the Region this includes:

- 2 Aircraft Carriers
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78)
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69)

- 2 Ticonderoga-Class Cruisers
USS Normandy (CG-60)
USS Philippines Sea (CG-58)

- 7 Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyers
USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116)
USS Ramage (DDG-61)
USS Carney (DDG-64)
USS Roosevelt (DDG-80)
USS Laboon (DDG-58)
USS Mason (DDG-87)
USS Gravely (DDG-107)

- 1 Type-45 Air Defense Destroyer
HMS Duncan (D-37)

- 5 Frigates
ESPS Méndez Núñez (F-104)
FS Surcouf (F-711)
ITS Carlo Margottini (F-592)
TCG Yavuz (F-240)
HS Psara (F-454)

- 2 Landing Support Ships
RFA Lyme Bay
RFA Argus

As well as an untold number of Submarines, Supply Ships, Aircraft and other Surface Ships which may also enter or be ordered to the Eastern Mediterranean over the next week, in my opinion this is much more than just Posturing for an Israeli Invasion of Gaza.

Health officials in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip have resorted to storing the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes in ice cream freezer trucks because moving them to hospitals is too risky and cemeteries are short of space.

Agree.  This "hurry up and wait" approach is working against Israel ---- it's emboldening Lebanon and Hezbollah and shifting world opinion away from the right to defend to retaliation.

Israel's Achilles heel seems to be putting the PR war ahead of the military war ----- and they could end end up winning neither.

If you want to know why Hamas is preventing civilians in Gaza from evacuating, watch until the end:

It's beginning to feel like Israel's waiting because they don't have the military to win this.

Either that or they sense that they're not just fighting Hezbollah/Hamas and want greater assets behind them as a deterrent.

There well could be a much larger plan by Iran at play. Tread carefully.

Yeah! Like the U.N. and the United States Department of State for instance!

Israel: No Negotiations over Hostages; We Are Eliminating Hamas
 
JOEL B. POLLAK14 Oct 20231,131
2:15
The Israeli government said Saturday that it would not negotiate with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas over the release of between 100 and 200 Israeli and international hostages, because it was destroying the organization and not trying to save it.

Tzachi Hanegbi, the head of Israel’s National Security Council, said that the days of negotiating for hostages were over. While Israel was trying to rescue the hostages, it would not hostage prisoner exchanges or stop its military operation in Gaza.

The Times of Israel reported:


National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi said on Saturday that there are no active negotiation efforts underway by Israel to repatriate the Israelis and some other foreign nationals kidnapped by Hamas last Saturday, saying “there is no way right now to have a negotiation” with the terror organization.

No, NATO and the U.S. Navy are sealing off Gaza from Iranian (and Turkish) seaborne reinforcement and resupply.  The weather is bad for the next few days, limiting aerial surveillance targeting, so they're taking their time before going in. 

Urban fighting is bad enough, so why make it even harder than necessary?
