In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “If Netanyahu makes the colossal mistake of trying to permanently reoccupy Gaza, then no thoughtful person can be pro-Israel without also being against him,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

Hamas will kill all hostages as IDF reaches their tunnels. How will hostage families and Israelis accept even more tragedy? Stupid Trump can stop this one call to criminal Bibi. He deserves Nobel peace prize for stopping further killing.

IDF bombing collapsed those tunnels a year ago. Those hostages are all dead, by Israel’s design. Read up on The Hannibal Directive. They’d rather kill hostages than allow them to be used to leverage release of the 30,000 Palestinian civilians Israel is illegally holding in their torture prisons.

Bret Stephens wouldn't know how to spot a thoughtful person if one crawled up his ass and made a nest.

Without characterizing Stephen's thought process, if we accept the std ratio of 20 troops/1k residents, then the IDF needs a min of 40k troops to occupy Gaza effectively. How practical is that in the face of Haredi intransigence & reservist burnout after 2 yrs of war?

So nice to see this reactionary, which the NYT hired as a sop to the Reich years ago, finally wakes up to the criminal class he’s been kneeling before for ages.

This has been the plan all along. Trump tipped us off by announcing Trump resorts in Gaza. Likely the agreement made to keep the US from interfering.

“Few things hurt Israel more than the global perception, however tendentious, that it’s deliberately starving kids.” Is it “tendentious” anywhere but NYT editorial writers offices? No. It’s demonstrably true. They allow no food into Gaza. Kids starve. They bomb refugee camps. Kids die. GTFOH.

I am perplexed by Netanyahu. It was HIS fault for leaving a porous border that allowed for 10/7. Israel had to retaliate. Hamas is to blame for what happened in the aftermath. They knew the calculation. Netanyahu has only made things worse. The region would do well w/o Bibi, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Yes, because full occupancy is taking it too far As long as he continues to murder innocents and fire upon aid workers, it’ll be alright What kind of fuck ass logic are you peddling? Netanyahu should have lost the support of the world ages ago The blood that was shed, we will have to bathe in

Netanyahu is Trump, only smarter. He is a racist, was not respectful to President Obama and the Dems. The people of Israel are not complicit. Palestinians are not complicit either, Hamas is a terrorist group. Like Israel, Palestine and the U.S. they voted for the wrong guy and political party.

Eh. 85+% of Israelis say that the IDF is using “just enough violence” or “not enough violence” against Gaza. They support this.

It’s wild that Christians think they have the right to speak for Jewish people and tell them what is and isn’t antisemitism. Of course when they put on their White people hats they think they can tell Black people what is and isn’t racism. So I suppose it’s the same thing.

Honestly. Only time I've agreed with a zio. Chistians who are a majority of zionists need to stop telling Jewish folk what is antisemitic. And wite people.. like white zionists need to stop telling the poc of the middle east where they can live. Thanks for backing me up.

Bret Stephens is a Zionist who has shown absolutely zero empathy for the suffering of the Palestinian people since it became clear Israel was out to destroy them. He can barely bring himself to criticize Netanyahu & co. His words are dripping with malice towards the people of Gaza. Shame on him.

If he left, who would listen to his “deep thoughts” without the imprimatur of the NYT above his name? Ditto with Douthat. Ditto David Brooks. Ditto Thomas Friedman. Ditto Maureen Dowd. It’s a club of overpaid center-right “moderates” whose only utility is regurgitating the lies of the powerful.
