Brilliant summary. Your thoughts on Bibi’s quandary are spot on. Thank you for your insight.

When they are all gone indeed. No matter what these evil men may say, they do want to live. At some point, hopefully, the terror won't be worth it. We must keep on.

Well said. And do not expect Biden to comment on this after they wake him up at noon. Not because of political reasons, but he will not be able to say the Arabic names and will trip over the language, causing another Biden moment.

Danielle, is this wsj article accurate? Was Haniyeh a leading advocate for a cease-fire? And espousing more moderate views?

Thanks. I read the WSJ article after yours and asked myself, "What the hell is going on?" It is hard navigating all the commentary. Thanks again.

Sad but true about hostage families.

Brilliant. There's already a Palestinian State, it's called Jordan. Its residents on the West Bank of the Jordan River could enjoy a much better life right where they are, in Israel, than they would find anywhere else in the world. All they have to do is realize that their "leaders" in the PLO/PA are using them, and ignore their calls for "resistance", forget about expelling Jews from their homeland. No reason why Israel would not defend Arabs within its borders just as it is doing now for Northern Druze.
