Yellowtail Posted Tuesday at 12:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:55 PM 1 minute ago, placeholder said: So much winning..and yet... Israeli Generals, Low on Munitions, Want a Truce in Gaza Israel’s top generals want to begin a cease-fire in Gaza even if it keeps Hamas in power for the time being, widening a rift between the military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has opposed a truce that would allow Hamas to survive the war. The generals think that a truce would be the best way of freeing the roughly 120 Israelis still held, both dead and alive, in Gaza, according to interviews with six current and former security officials. Underequipped for further fighting after Israel’s longest war in decades, the generals also think their forces need time to recuperate in case a land war breaks out against Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia that has been locked in a low-level fight with Israel since October, multiple officials said. https://archive.ph/sDZM8 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/world/middleeast/israel-military-gaza-cease-fire.html The article goes on to note that the generals now recognize that the 2 goals of defeating Hamas and rescuing the hostages are mutually incompatible. It also relays the generals' concern that given Netanyahu's refusal either to occupy Gaza or turn governance over to alternative Palestinian leadership, the war could drag on indefinitely and continue to sap Israel's military strength. But so what? After all, the IDF keeps on sharing with us the progress it has been making and will continue to make...maybe forever? Biden forget to approve munition shipments?

Bkk Brian Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Pockets of dissent, hardly surprising knowing they've been used by Hamas leadership as their own "necessary sacrifices" Hamas faces growing public dissent as Gaza war erodes support The man in the video is beside himself, a mask of anguish radiating through his bloodied face. “I am an academic doctor,” he says, “I had a good life, but we have a filthy [Hamas] leadership. They got used to our bloodshed, may God curse them! They are scum!” The video - unthinkable before the Gaza war - was filmed outside a hospital, inundated with hundreds of Palestinian casualties after an Israeli operation to free hostages from central Gaza last month. Warning: Graphic image Seconds before the video ends, he turns to the crowd. “I’m one of you,” he says, “but you are a cowardly people. We could have avoided this attack!” The video went viral. And it’s not the only one. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0vewvp14zdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
