Another sad example of the effectiveness of leftist indoctrination on those among us with a feeble mind.

According to the Jtimes link, Israel is ending its active invasion and occupation of southern Gaza.

Beginning of the end for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran appears to be off for the time being.

I hope this is the beginning of the end of the war. The US experience after 9/11 largely proves you can’t exterminate extreme ideology with bombs and occupations.

Netanyahu has weakened Israel by falling asleep on October 6 and losing crucial support for Israel as a result of its post October 7 conduct. Hopefully he is gone soon. His time and utility for Israel has come and gone.

I'm more pessimistic than I was a while back too. I don't think Hamas will be destroyed by this war anymore than Hezbollah was destroyed in 2006. They've taken a beating but according to Israeli media they've already returned to parts of Gaza City and Khan Younis, only about a third of the tunnels have been destroyed and their rocket stockpile is apparently still in the thousands. The reason the blockade of northern Gaza is still going on is because Hamas is there and are distributing the aid that comes in, just as they are in Rafah.

Netanyahu has to know his career is over as soon as the war ends. The same way Israel had major political and military changes with the Winograd Commission after the 06 war, this one will be even worse. The amount of political/IDF/Mossad/Shin Bet firings and resignations over 10/7 is sure to be high.

I can’t believe there are supposedly 100+ alive hostages still. I realize it’s densely populated, but the Gaza Strip is not a huge area…..it’s so sad they can’t find these hostages.

Yeah the fact that Hamas has admitted they don't even have 40 left in the female/child/elderly category to exchange is very depressing and not a good sign. I feel for the women and kids the most. I can still see the images of those female teenage soldiers being loaded into trucks/jeeps and driven into Gaza, nightmarish.

Iraqi Sources are reporting that the Airstrikes on the Capital of Baghdad have Targeted a Building in which a High-Ranking Meeting was taking place involving several Iranian-Backed Groups and Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

A Radar Early Warning Site of the Syrian Army near the City of Izra in Southern Syria has reportedly been Targeted by several Airstrikes, likely Israeli, within the last few minutes

Iranian Sources are reporting that No Anti-Aircraft Fire or Air Raid Sirens have been heard in the Cities of Isfahan and Natanz, just the roughly 3-4 Explosions that were heard earlier.
