Thanks for writing this Pieter. What a sad outcome to this brutal time. And the battles continue with Israeli military having one arm tied behind their backs by the US. At the same time the Democratic Party's braintrust funds the Israeli left with poisonous politics that make CNN appear objective in comparison. They want to desperately destroy Bibi with the intent that with Netanyahu out of the way they will be able to drive their delusion of a 2 state solution to reality.
The US Biden/Harris/Blinken/Sullivan (aka BHO et all) policy of appeasing the head of the octopus (Iran) has prolonged this Gaza war, devastated Israels north (Hezbollah) and embellished the evil of all enemies surrounding Israel. The US allows the enrichment of Iran (with both money and enriched uranium) and the propagation of Iran’s actions across the Middle East with eyes wide open. It really creates questions on whether they can only be this interested in immolating their allies or is their intent seditious?
This is a very objective and logical article from a political perspective... There are many more issues to be raised as well.
There's the whole question of hostage negotiations (in my opinion, the Giilad Shalit deal was one of Bibi's worst mistakes in office - and it was done because of the same pressure he's under now!). And of the need to bring back the death penalty for terrorist murderers...
But the disunity and even hatred of the "other side" I see growing in the Diaspora as well as in Israel is the most distressing! This cannot continue or the Terrorists will have won!
Devastating to see these people's lives snuffed out. As you said, 'shattered hope.' The more I think about this the more a policy to contain Iran while connecting it back into the international community seems to be the key. I do not know how one can do this, and it may take a long time, but as long as Iran is funding Hezbollah and Hamas there can be no peace. Iran does not want peace and will do what it can to disrupt it.
1000% Steven. And as long as the Obama (DNC) doctrine of appeasing Iran is the consensus in Washington the death and chaos will continue to increase. This delusional policy of appeasement has enabled Iran to spread chaos. Nuclear breakout with horrific consequences is on the horizon according to Blinken.

Yes - the Shalit deal was one of the things that seeded October 7th in retrospect.

Agreed and thanks for your comment Steven.
