If this doesn't convince you, then nothing will...

 Today, October 17, a little more than a year since Hamas invaded Israel with an army of terrorists as a barrage of rockets rained on Israeli territory, to massacre innocents, including children, to rape women, and burn homes to the ground, Yahya Sinwar has been killed. He was (please notice the past tense...) the 'mastermind' of the October 7 attacks. By the end of that infamous day, 1200 were dead and 251 were dragged into Gaza and held hostage. After a year of fighting, Sinwar has refused to surrender and release the hostages. Even as his own people suffered, he was determined to somehow turn world opinion against Israel. Arguably, and sadly, he had some success. 

Sinwar had previously been held in an Israeli prison where he suffered brain cancer. He miraculously survived owing to the treatment of Israeli doctors. In 2011, he was one of 1,000 prisoners released as part of a deal to secure the release of an abducted Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. Once released he rose through the Hamas organization and became the defacto leader in Gaza. 

The killing of Sinwar is monumentally important. It not only caused an operational blow to Hamas but gives a new perspective on the war, notably for Israel. Sinwar's death follows a series of successes for Israel, the killing of Hama's political leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and a plethora of other high ranking leaders of both terrorist groups. Israel has dealt a powerful blow to the proxies of Iran as it contemplates retaliation against Iran itself. And as it should. Our executive leaders sure don't have the balls to do it, in fact, we funded their irreverent, profane deeds...

This news also serves to shine some convincingly dark light on the judgment of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. For months this dynamic duo warned Israel against an invasion of Rafah, where Sinwar was killed. Biden made the statement that going into Rafah was a "red line" for him. Harris warned that there would be "consequences" because she "studied the maps." The fact that Sinwar was killed in Rafa vindicates the insistence of Israel that Rafah was where they would find Hamas' leadership. They found him there, and they killed him. 

Let us not overlook the courage of Bibi to do what he knew was the right thing to defend his country. In spite of the leaders of the United States telling him, "Do not do this." As the great Winston Churchill once said, "If you find yourself in hell, keep going." Bibi sure as hell kept going, inspite of being told to stop... 

Many, but not all of the Israeli hostages that were taken are still alive and captive in Gaza. Israel is still being pressured to stop the war. Can you imagine another country telling the United States after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, do not bomb Japan. Just calm down. Pretty preposterous notion, isn't it? Then why in the sam hell did our leaders tell Israel just that? 

God Bless you Mr. Netanyahu. Keep going.
