Israel does not need a grand strategy (notwithstanding Ehud Olmert's blathering); it needs to and can win

Excerpts:

The contrast between the dexterity of Israel's latest attacks on Hezbollah and the uncertainty over its long-term strategy in Lebanon is the latest example of a fragility at the heart of Israeli statecraft, according to Israeli public figures and analysts.
To friend and foe alike, Israel appears technologically strong, but strategically lost. It is capable of extraordinary acts of espionage, as well as powerful expressions of military might, but is struggling to tie such efforts to long-term diplomatic and geopolitical goals.
"You see the sophistication of the technological minds of Israel and the total failure of the political leadership to carry out any moves of consequence," said Ehud Olmert, a former Israeli prime minister.
"They are too preoccupied and obsessed by their fears to do anything on a broader strategic basis," Mr. Olmert said.

"Tactical successes can be obtained by professionals, but large-scale achievements have to be achieved by leaders," said Itamar Rabinovich, a former Israeli ambassador to Washington. "They must be able to bite their tongue, go against the grain, take unpopular decisions and political risks."
For Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, Israel's security must be prioritized at all costs, and Hamas and Hezbollah must be fully defanged — in part to restore the sense of deterrence and invincibility that Israel lost on Oct. 7 — before diplomatic compromises can be reached.

I am posting this to make one thing clear; Israel should not have its paws eagerly in the air begging for a "deal." Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran have shown their colors. Israel now has to do things a little differently and not at Turtle Bay. They must win and terminate Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran with prejudice.
There is no profound strategy needed but "win." The article posits "Israel has conducted several clandestine missions and assassinations inside Iran, most recently of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by infiltrating a guesthouse protected by the Iranian security establishment. At the same time, it has avoided making the political concessions necessary to forge formal alliances with most of Iran’s opponents in the region." Any agreement negotiated with this garbage would not be worth the paper it's printed on except as a crowning "achievement" of some diplomat's career.

Agree. Kamala talks about an agreement between “the two parties” - as if each were legitimate and trustworthy. One side is a developed nation with a moral code, and the other are Islamic terrorists who will do and say whatever it takes to achieve their goal: eliminate Israel.

The war in Gaza seems to have united Sunni and Shia Muslim countries against Israel. Was this by accident or design?

Obviously the terrorists didn't get the word...

There are two sides to this. Stop listening to only one. Do not let Netanyahu draw us into into a war.

Maybe you should call Kamala instead of wasting your time on a message board.

Don't forget to ask her for the reparations she personally owes you!!!

Naturally, the guy always crying about racism choose to blame the Jew rather than the HAMAS savages still torturing and starving hostages aftet an entire year - and promising to keep repeating Oct 7th until Israel is destroyed and every last Jew dead.

it is the Muslims’ fault here, not the Jews. They should have accepted one of Israel’s peace deals years ago, but they don’t want peace. They want Israel gone and the Jews dead.

But sure….go ahead and side with the terrorists against the Jews.

You never present any other side other than it’s the Jewish man’s fault.

HAMAS should have returned all hostages immediately. They never should have took them in the first place. They never should have hunted down as many innocent Jews as they could to torture to death.

Jews don’t behave the way these savages do. But sure, go ahead and take the HAMAS side.

nothing new----sunnis and shias can unite against a common hatred---however---they still hate each other.

All it does is announce what an antisemite he is: comparisons of Israel to Nazis is antisemitic according to the U.S. State Department.

The pager attack is simply the latest example of Jewish terror and its usefulness to western capitalists and their pliant political adjuncts:

Jews have always punched above their weight class

"The nuclearization of the Middle East was initiated by Israel‘s nuclear efforts. Israel’s nuclear program dates back to the early years of the state.

"Apart from scientific research, the program is almost entirely military in nature.

Israeli extremists plan conquest and settlement of Lebanon

"A senior rabbi has called for Israel to conquer Lebanon and settle the south of the country, as Israel’s deadly attacks on its northern neighbour continue.

"In a letter published on Wednesday, American-Israeli Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh said that 'the enemy must be struck with full force' and justified the killing of all members of the Iran-backed Lebanese movement Hezbollah, the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post reported.

"Ginsburgh claimed that Lebanon was part of the 'Land of Israel' and was 'given to the Jewish people by God'."

40,000 Arab fighters arrive in Syria to back Hezbollah - report

"Thousands of militia fighters and mercenaries from three Arab countries have reportedly arrived near Syria's occupied Golan Heights to aid Hezbollah in its ongoing war with Israel, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

"Around 40,000 fighters had come to Syria from 'a number of countries, including Iraq, Yemen and Syria', the report claimed, citing unnamed sources in the Israeli military.

"The fighters were reportedly within "the vicinity of the Golan Heights" waiting for orders from Hezbollah's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, to join the fighting, the daily said, without citing any evidence to support the claim by the Israeli military source."
