Thanks, Park, for the advance post-mortem on the latest concessions Biden has forced on Israel. Let’s hope the reports of it turn out to be false.

I’ve appreciated your contributions to the Friday morning panel.

This was Bibi's response to the DC dictated "retaliation"-https://www.jns.org/netanyahu-national-security-needs-to-dictate-response-to-iran/ Then DC issued this decreehttps://www.jns.org/in-leaked-letter-us-officials-ask-israel-to-make-15-policy-changes-in-gaza-or-risk-arms-embargo/ which requires a winning army to feed a clearly hostile enemy population in the middle of war in the absence of both any proof of a humaniatarian crisis other than one caused by Hamas and to be aware of civilian casualties-despite the fact that the winning side in the Civil War and WW2 did not feed enemy civilians but rather focused on rendering them unwilling to fight via naval blockades, siege warfare, destruction of transportation and agricultural and industrial capacity round the clock aerial bombardments and unrestricted submarine warfare. This is how wars are won,

Only Israel is forced to feed its enemies in order to continue arms resupply that has been slow walked by Biden & Co. for months which also belittled the Israeli strategy and has continually sought to topple Bibi's government in the same way as brilliantly pointed out by Jacob Siegel that the Democrats are attempting to prevent a Republican victory in November.

I hope, Steven, that the statement you linked to indicates that Bibi’s resolve won’t fail.

Anything that Blinken says or does is suspect In my opinion because he was the author of the letter that 51 intelligence community professionals signed and in so doing claimed falsely that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation

Bibi is fully aware that Biden has been attempting to undermine his coalition since it assumed power and has been attempting to micromanage the war so that Israel loses and Iran and its surrogates remain viable which Israel has clearly exposed and rendered very dubious in its campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon and which it could effect major damage to Iran’s military and economic capacity especially now since that policy has been exposed as naive at best and without any basis in reality

I don’t doubt that Biden understands Biden and Blinken’s strategy and the manipulative and dishonest moves. But will Bibi push through now knowing that, as Caroline Glick has argued, that no better opportunity will present itself.
