ADVICE TO ISRAEL
Powerline ^ | 7 Oct 2023 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 10/07/2023 6:47:21 AM PDT by Rummyfan

The Jerusalem Post has live updates on the Palestinians’ invasion of Israel. It is worth checking back frequently.

When a country is attacked, the only appropriate course is to respond with massively disproportionate force, as we did against the Japanese in World War II. Israel should treat Gaza as the Allies treated Dresden and other German and Japanese cities to end that war. Israel made a mistake in withdrawing from Gaza, and Gaza has been a thorn in its side ever since. This should be the last time.

In fighting this war, the Israelis should not distinguish between Hamas and non-Hamas, any more than we distinguished between members of the Nazi Party and non-members when we crushed Germany. And I don’t want to hear one goddam word about civilian casualties. Civilian casualties are what happen when you start a war.

What advice does John give to our corrupt D.C. ruling class who are allowing our borders to be invaded and innocent people killed by black violent thugs?

One would think that, by now, the ol' fossil Hinderaker would know not to rage post on his own blog.

"Goddammit!! What the Israelis really need to do now is kill a bunch of civilians, to show that they mean business!!!"

When you're invoking the bombing of Dresden as your template, you've lost the plot. But the Powerline crew has long been in decline, imagining that it's 1994 or something, and that what we need to do is get back to "Reagan's America." Quite pathetic.

With Biden giving Billions of $ to Iran and our 51 leaders of the CIA falsely stating the Russian hoax was true, leads me to the following question.

DID THE CIA AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE WITHHOLD VITAL INFORMATION FROM ISRAEL ABOUT THIS CURRENT ATTACK?

And the Al-Aqsa mosque. Wipe the Temple Mount clean of the infestation.

It’s a side point, but choosing Dresden as an analogy was a bad idea. The 1945 bombing of Dresden did nothing to help end the war. It was more of a terror and a revenge thing.

Even Churchill had serious doubts about the value of the bombing.

Good question. But I don’t think so and here is my reasoning. While I think our intelligence Services would do just that right now because they’re all so far out in left field and Israel is the enemy according to the Democrats, I think our intelligence services have deteriorated and are not capable of having known this attack was coming.

One possibility which I’m going to admit is pretty far fetched but not impossible considering the anti- Israel bunch running Washington now. Considering that some of the Biden handlers are so anti-israel, is it possible that some section(s) of US intelligence actually assisted Hamas?

Maybe these photos will help? No, liberals don’t care about the savagery that’s going on, they only care about themselves.

I’m sure he’s against it.

I’d ask if you have any more stupid questions but experience has shown you’ve got a never ending supply.

To a degree Hinderaker is correct.

But he doesn’t go far enough.

1) Raze Gaza. Literally destroy everything there.

2) forcibly deport Gaza’s inhabitants to Iran.

3) Enemy soldiers should be summarily executed. No prisoners, no quarter, and no return of bodies.

You don’t try to live with cockroaches, and the Pali’s are the equivalent of cockroaches.
