Hamas attacks Israel

[Horace]

We’ll turn Geno into a Trump supporter yet.

[Klaus]

I still have many doubts whether Hamas will ever voluntarily cease power in Gaza.

[jon-nyc]

I hear you. Their acceptance was a ‘Yes, but..’ with the emphasis on the but.

[jon-nyc]

One take in that regard.

[jon-nyc]

This is a good sign.

@Mik said in Hamas attacks Israel:

Heads will explode if he gets the Nobel.

Bombs too, ironically enough.

@Mik said in Hamas attacks Israel:

Hamas and Israel have agreed to start the peace plan.

Heads will explode if he gets the Nobel.

His will too if it’s shared with el-Sisi and Al Thani.

[AndyD]

What's all this about Hamas having appointed 5 governors, and something about a policing force?
Rumour only?

Been glued to tv news for hours. Waiting for trumps speech. Then bibi is joining the big summit in sharm (a-sisi has refused to speak to bibi even on the phone ) and now I hear the prez of Indonesia is going to visit here tomorrow.
End of days feeling here. If any evangelicals out there are thinking of the rapture now would be a good time.

[AndyD]

Ditto, and on radio now. Thank God all live hostages out.
Bibi speaks well.

Fingers crossed for peace to continue.

[bachophile]

Bibi not going to sharm and prez of Indonesia not coming. Things change very fast here. Reason given was holiday tomorrow (it’s Sukkot here ) but that would have. made the sharm summit more interesting.

[bachophile]

Trump speaking. He is so off the wall. But funny.

[bachophile]

How much of this stuff scripted and how much off the cuff? Just rambling on and on

[AndyD]

He keeps going off script, you can tell the pre written formality in contrast; but kudos for 79 he's got stamina. Love him embarrassing his team.

[bachophile]

Like saying to Miriam Adelson “she must have like 60 billion in the bank”

[AndyD]

Did you all notice at the visitors book signing...

"It's a new biginning"

[jon-nyc]

Hamas is publicly executing Palestinians today. That doesn’t seem like the behavior of a group about to voluntarily disarm and give up power.

[AndyD]

Well that's a worse "new biginning", but hardly unexpected

[jon-nyc]

He has a point.

[Horace]

I'm not entirely sure there is an apples to apples comparison between any realistic deal realistically proposed during the Biden administration, which was reacted to in that manner by conservative Jews, and this deal. I wonder what Ben Shapiro or Bari Weiss would say about that claim.
