Hamas attacks Israel
-
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. -
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.
-
Trump speaking. He is so off the wall. But funny.
-
How much of this stuff scripted and how much off the cuff? Just rambling on and on
-
Like saying to Miriam Adelson “she must have like 60 billion in the bank”
-
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.
-
Putting aside any details of actual proposals, I think he’s right that leaving Hamas in power would have been seen as a betrayal under Biden but that doesn’t stop them from thinking Trump a genius for this deal.
Perhaps some believe the rest of the deal will be implemented. Perhaps others believe it won’t and Israel will have the green light to return but without the hostages to worry about. But that latter group might be underestimating how much Trump wants a Nobel.

I hate to it's deja vu all over again, but I really kind of feel like I've been here before.
Obviously, it's the greatest event in history and all that, but still.....

@jon-nyc said in Hamas attacks Israel:
Releasing all the hostages is not nothing.
Clearly, it's very important on a human scale for those affected. But the idea that we've achieved peace in the ME after thousands of years of conflict is ridiculous.

@Mik said in Hamas attacks Israel:
It's another step in that direction.
I honestly don't want to be cynical about this, but my point was we've heard this all before.
Has anything actually fundamentally changed in the last two weeks?
I'd love to be wrong.
