In today’s news it’s now up to our bally Republican Senator Tom Cotton, a member of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committee who has also served in the military, Israel is fighting on five different fronts. Hamas is to the west of it, Hezbollah is to the north, these to the south, Iran and its proxies in Iraq and Syria are in the eastern northeast. Just this morning there was a new round of rocket fire in air strikes between Israel and Hezbollah, how concerned are you about a major regional war? The United States is being drawn into the war. Dayan or going into the war voluntarily, what if a major war breaks out by accident, wars don’t happen by accident, they happen because in this case Iran and its terrorist network have used the layout around Israel.
Jack is hell-bent on destroying Israel. A lot of the focus is on the final. A month on Hamas in the south is about right, but I think many Americans probably don’t appreciate how much Hezbollah from Lebanon has attacked Israel. You still have eighty thousand Israelis who have had to flee their homes in the north and have had to be evacuated to friends or family’s homes or hotels. Just put it in perspective. It would be like if the entire population of mainland New Hampshire and Vermont had to flee to Boston or New York or Philadelphia because we’re under attack across the border from Canada. Civilized nations can afford that and allow people to live in those conditions. Israel has every right to defend itself and go after the terrorist terrorists in Lebanon and we need to give them the tools to defeat both the Moss in the south and Hezbollah in the north and protect their people. Isn’t the United States giving them the tools it needs by not giving them the political and diplomatic support they need from the start? Israel puts far more pressure on Iran and terrorist networks than Joe Biden can peacefully pursue Harris’s policies to take Israel back to where we are.
Hamas probably would have been gone a long time ago, Israel had a de facto partial arms embargo earlier this year, not just the two thousand pound bombs that they need to attack the symmetric deep tunnels, but also mortar rounds, artillery shells and small arms ammunition, now they have a tractor ban in Israel as well, so Israeli soldiers are stuck in a minefield that can’t be cleared, because the Biden Harris administration allows them access to the tractors and the bulldozers that they need to clear those landmines, this is something that’s constantly being urged by this administration, because more pressure has been put on Israel and more pressure has been put on Israel’s enemies, which has probably had the effect of prolonging the fighting, a lot of the protests against Netanyahu are coming from within Israel itself, you’ve seen hundreds of thousands of Israelis criticizing the way Netanyahu is waging this war, whether it’s putting more emphasis on going after Hamas than on protecting Hoxha.
I spoke to the families of these hostages, as I often do. They clearly said Netanyahu is not doing enough to bring their loved ones back home safely, here is just a sampling. I think all Israelis have stopped listening to Prime Minister Netanyahu because there is a difference between what he says in terms of his commitment to bring the hostages back home and the actions of this mission-impossible law, it’s like tweeting my anguish with my anguish. This vicious cycle of violence needs to stop. The American hostages are still alive and three of them are represented in this group or father. But these two individuals want the bodies of their parents and their sons back home. Nor is this a legitimate criticism on the part of Israeli Americans and Israelis, what you say to them when they say the pain of this escalation was far from enough?
