Will Israel Cost Harris the Election?

Nah, Harris is busily doing that all by herself. But her ineptitude on the crisis in Israel is making things much worse for her. Neither Michigan nor Minnesota are worth the kind of grief the Biden admin – including Harris – is creating for itself. Sacrificing millions of votes not only in this election but in contests to come for the sake a few hundred thousand that might or might not even vote is gross political incompetence. The Jewish vote … Continue reading “Will Israel Cost Harris the Election?”

Does Israel Care What the World Thinks?

Pretty sure they don’t. This appears to me to be the final stage of what happens when this ‘all or nothing’ mentality world gets what it wants only to realize it didn’t really want what it got. Israel is no different than any other nation-state in one main respect. It comes only in Size Human. No angels, no demons, just people that stick pants on one leg at a time, sometimes do great things and sometimes do awful things. Israel … Continue reading “Does Israel Care What the World Thinks?”

Look, politics only comes in size people and people only come in size messy. … Continue reading “Ceasefire: Good for Israel? Good for Biden?”

Hamas Betrayed Gaza

When Hamas massacred Israeli civilians it betrayed the Arab citizens of Gaza that it had been elected to govern. Their atrocities were so unforgivable that this time Israel is extremely unlikely to stop until Hamas is destroyed and Israel’s borders are safe. The fault for that lies squarely on Hamas. No amount of ‘but what about’ is going to save Gaza. The UN isn’t coming. Iran isn’t coming. Hezbollah will only provide a distraction – it cannot handle the Israelis, … Continue reading “Hamas Betrayed Gaza”
