Tel-Chai Nation

As expected, the Israeli government caved to pressure from the Biden bunch and merely accepted a "ceasefire" with Hamas:

Former Shabak (Israel Security Agency) chief Yoram Cohen expressed support for the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terror group - on condition that new ground rules are established, which do not include transferring money to Hamas.

Cohen, who headed Shabak during both Operation Cast Lead and Operation Protective Edge, emphasized that transferring funds to Hamas was a "grave mistake."

"It's hard for me to say that we won," Cohen said in an interview with N12. "Hamas has achieved a great accomplishment in that they fired heavy barrages at us, continuously and for a long period of time. However, I think that our achievements are much better than those of the other side: We hit those who were involved in the missiles pretty hard, their accuracy and their battle chiefs, and that will greatly harm the entire system.

"The damage to the underground system is also pretty good - without the 'metro,' they are very much inferior."

"We need to set a rule: Firing towards Israel will be accompanied by fire and damage. We need to hurt anyone who fires at us, without blinking. A sovereign country cannot live with doublespeak such as 'drizzles' towards Gaza-area communities. 'Drizzles' is rain. Not mortars and not rockets."

Well I'm sorry, but that's not enough. The Hamas is a terror organization, not to mention a dictatorship, and such monstrosities have to be taken down. It's galling that again, we have a situation where Gaza becomes a modern variation on north Vietnam, which the US military didn't enter if that's what it took to put an end to the Viet Cong's reign. Is it any wonder this tragedy's continued for so long?
