In Israel’s history, that wisdom seems to have been ignored or not understood. And most often Israel has been stopped from defeating the enemy to the degree that war really ends. 2) **

Israel has never been allowed to finish a war. Sometimes prevented by others from doing so. Sometimes stopped because of a lack of resources. In fact, other countries, namely the USA have stepped in to “help” Israel, which prevented a full victory.

And so war continues. 3) **

In the past 2 plus years, since October 7, 2023, Israel has been held back from the kind of response that would destroy Hamas in Gaza quickly. People can claim the real reason was because of the need to protect civilian life in Gaza, 4) **

or because of a lack of weapons, but that would be a false claim. Israel would have used less weaponry, less munitions, in a short war and with less loss of life, than happened by dragging it all out. 5) **

And now, 2 years and a few months since, Hamas is still there, not disarmed, and stronger in Judea and S Samaria, and all over ther world, the enemies have managed in the extended time to turn Israel into a pariah state, 6) **

worse in many ways that would have happened in a war of short duration. And worse, nothing is being done about Hamas outside Gaza, 7) **

nor the fact that the Palestine Authority President has congratulated Hamas for what they did on October 7, 2023, saying it was a proud day for him. 8) **

Another example. In 1973, Israel was attacked viciously, and a long war of attrition was the result, but again, Israel was held back, by its so called Allies, the US, UK, France, telling Israel to be patient and wait and 9) **

a diplomatic solution would be worked out to stop the fighting. In the meantime Jews died, ammunition supplies were depleted, and Israel was at a point whether the choice was resupply (which was blocked by Europe until the US found another way) or 10) **

a drastic solution that would kill millions in the Arab states fighting. In Washington, they decided to resupply Israel - more to avoid Israel doom day scenerios than because they wanted Israel to win. 11) **

You see, the prevailing opinion in the West is - stop fighting, but no judgment. So a people who promises to murder all the Jews and destroy Israel and who attacks civilians, murders and rapes, and burns babies alive, 12) **

is treated as if they are morally on the same level as countries that value life and live by moral rules.

And now Hamas refuses to disarm, and what does the West do, including Trump? 13) **

They berate Israel from not going along while they make concessions to those that want the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and Hezbollah to survive, 14) **

And then there is Iran - while Israel was subjected to weeks of rocket attacks, Israel was told to not retaliate, and finally when Israel insisted that a potentially nuclear Iran had to be stopped, then the US stepped in rather than allow Israel to really finish the job... 15) **

its own way. And today, Iran is rearming with North Korean and Pakistani help, building up an inventory of 1000’s of more powerful rockets. What will happen next? 16) **

Predictions: Iran will attack again, with Turkey’s help. There will be another attack by 1000’s of rockets and drones, though Iron beam will help defend Israel better than last time. And eventually, Israel will have to take action to end the Islamic Republic Regime. 17) **

But after how much more damage and how many more deaths?

A reconstituted Hamas and associated terrorist groups in Judea and Samaria, rearmed massively via smuggling from Jordan will pick a time, October 2028, while the Americans are busy with an election campaign, and 18) **

the next attack will come from Samaria, and Israel’s densely populated middle - terrorists rampaging through Kfar Saba, Ra’anana, and into Herzlia, killing, murdering in numbers that make October 7 2023, look small. 19) **

And at sea, the Turks will try to grab control of the Easterm Mediterranean - attacking Greek and Israeli and Cypriot interests.

Because it is simple, when even Trump tries to make concessions so the Muslim are happy with him, and 20) **

the alternative is the Democrat leftists, their Muslim world will see weakness, and weakness invites aggression and genocide." 21) **
