Hamas/Gaza War Musings #52: VICTORY is Not on Bibi's Menu

 


I know that many people think I've been exaggerating or distorting Prime Minister Binyamin Bibi Netanyahu's ignoring the concept of VICTORY as the only way to really end the war, our war of survival against Hamas/Gaza. Well Bibi has admitted it. He listed five principles, five aims, five requirements needed for this war to end. The crucial, only way to really end the war and give us peace VICTORY isn't on the list and neither is Gazan/Hamas's surrender.

Here's Bibi's list:

  1. Hamas Disarmed
  2. All Hostages Freed
  3. Gaza Demilitarized
  4. Israeli overriding security control
  5. Non-Israeli peaceful civil administration
You may notice, as I did, that there's not even a hint of resettling Gaza by Israelis. Bibi does not support a return to Gush Katif. In all honesty, this list won't work. It won't give Israel peace. It's no more effective than all the other "ends of hostilities" that we've suffered through in the close to two decades of Bibi's reign.

Bibi is hoping we've forgotten, but there have been more wars/attacks on Israel during his rule than any other twenty years of Israel's existence. And none of them ended in victory. Bibi would just declare them over, claiming that we showed the terrorists that we're stronger. Duh? That's why it was so easy for Gaza/Hamas to successfully attack us just under two years ago.

Bibi's list is not going to work. History and common sense prove me right, unfortunately. Let's see who from the coalition have the guts to tell the truth and vote against Bibi...

Both he and the IDF have NO concept of victory. They wouldn't know how to win if they had to - and now, they have to. He's speaking about launching an offensive in October - October?? Why not this week? Because he's trying to buy time, at the expense of the suffering hostages.

They're all dangerously nuts. Remember that Bibi has allowed the Left to continue to control the IDF. That glass ceiling is still bulletproof. He's a closet Leftist. Read my Shiloh Musings post "impressive." It says it all.
