I hesitate to suggest anything positive has come out of the attack by Hamas on Israel but......

Poll Shows Catastrophic Drop Off in Support for Netanyahu​

One issue we’ve discussed since Saturday’s attacks is what effect the Hamas attacks and subsequent Israel-Hamas war would have on public opinion in Israel. Specifically, would there be a rally round the flag boost for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu? As I’ve tried to argue, it was not at all clear this would be the case. There’s been a great deal of anecdotal and reported evidence to the contrary. If you watch Israeli media there’s clearly been a vast upsurge of social solidarity and support for retaliation against Hamas (that civilians in Gaza will pay a heavy price for). But there’s been very, very little evidence of any surge in support for Netanyahu or his government. Indeed, we see signs of a volcanic anger against his government over its responsibility for the events of last weekend. There have been a number of viral videos of members of the coalition heckled in public or shouted down or forced to leave events in response to public anger.

Now we have one of the first polls and it appears to confirm all of that, a vast sea of public anger and catastrophic loss of support for Netanyahu’s government.

Unfortunately, they'll be no getting rid of Hamas. Anti-Israeli sentiment will only become more entrenched after Israel's counter attack levels Gaza.

From Democrats.

Fuck off clown.

Nah, you are nothing here. As Chief Dan George said in "Josey Wales,", ' hell is coming to breakfast.'

The will be the Palestinians chance to point out every stronghold and Hamas fighter to the IDF.

The Palestinian example of tolerating then fearing Hamas is why Americans will never permit MAGA to succeed here.

What, exactly, were you expecting when they poll Palestinians?

 

[beautress]

Why doesnt your article link to it? Im just supposed to take the word of a website called "talking points memo?"

Please skip this post if death scenes sicken you, and don't look at the pet body hanging on the wall on the left.

Their reporters learned it from our MSM reporters. The narrative can be false, true, or creatively pointed to prove an unpopular political point-of-view.

Netanyahu apparently had a group of pictures of Hamas murders of infants. The local paper diminished the glaring reality parts of the dead so as not to excite or terrify readers. I think that Netanyahu has been a true and trusted friend of America always. OTOH the Hamas criminals are always pushing strategies that will confound the peopleof Israel, playing on their emotions to achieve getting their end. Murdering their little one was so heinous, it was hard to visualize at first due to its treachery. Here's one of the pics that showed a death bed of a Jewish child that was brutally machetied to death: The blood spatter to the right is back splattered that occurred after bloodied hits evidenced in the crumpled sheets. covers, and matress. It was a violent and excessive execution of the child on the bed. Hamas targeted children to deepen the horror of their hatred for Jewish people of any age.

I have a source that says the IDF will not take prisoners with weapons in their hands. Any house with weapons will be pulled down and every person 17 and over summarily dispatched. Let's see if that happens.

By the second day, Palestinians will be pointing out Hamas tunnels and positions as well as identifying individuals, either out of fact or revenge against people with whom they have enmity, who are supposedly Hamas.

Northern Gaza literally will be awash in blood.

Massively corrupt Netanyahu is also a war criminal guilty of genocide.

Whether this loss of support is due to these facts, or Israeli anger over the inevitable blowback against them by HAMAS due to massive earlier war crimes by Israel, if the outcome is Netanyahu's removal, and ideally, his trial and conviction at The Hague, some small justice will be served.

From Democrats.

Most likely from the world community.

This attack was already carried out to weaken the Netanyahu govt, impossible for the US UK IL intelligences not to know about it. Let alone carrying out such an attack, no one can approach that border region in this way.

Sinai Stovepipe

Since American "education" takes away our ability to think objectively and abstractly (which means subtract the completely different character of both sides as irrelevant to the similarity of their actions), we are prevented from realizing that in the same area, under the British Mandate, the Israelis armed themselves under the totalitarian restrictions and usually highly effective eyes of the British occupiers. So Hamas did the same to the Mossad as the Israelis did to the Arab-loving post-Churchill M16.

I think it was done to disrupt the peace talks between Saudi and Israel.

Saudi Arabia reportedly suspends peace talks with Israel in the wake of war with Hamas - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Mohammed bin Salman also spoke with Iran's president this week, signaling a retreat from the Biden administration's efforts to isolate Iran, which backs Hamas.

Also Israel supported Azerbaijan in the Azerbaijan-Armenia issue. Something the anti-China faction in the US, namely the Biden govt does not want. If this route is opened the main route in China's new Silk Road project will pass through Turkic states and according to the current context, the dominance of the US over trade routes will decrease.

Zelensky agrees.

Two different issues.

 

[martybegan]

It's not a binary choice.

It's being presented as one. They aren't angry at Netenyahu for being too hard, but for being too soft.

 

[konradv]

Two different issues.

Hardly! Both are trying to protect their homelands and are both Jewish, yet one is lionized and the other vilified by many on the right. Why?

I'd say the death of thousands of terrorists would be a more positive harbinger of peace.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

There is no alternative because Hamas will keep killing.
