Israelis DO support Bibi

Click above for the video 
The other day I was voicing my own support for Bibi Netanyahu in the war to end Hamas. But my tiny, tinny voice is nothing. What’s needed, I said, was the Israeli people to support him. I worried about that because of the anti-Bibi demonstrations taking to Tel Aviv streets.

But it turns out they do. Large majorities — up to 79% — of Israelis support Netanyahu and his war aims. Even Opposition people support him by majorities or pluralities, depending on the specific question.

Caroline Glick explains the latest polling, in the video above.

She also cuts to a bit of Bibi’s press conference, where he addressed Biden’s pathetic and scandalous one word reply to a shouted press question: “Is Netanyahu doing enough to release the hostages?”, to which Biden’s curt answer was “no”. The slant of the question — no mention of Hamas — the slant of the answer — a senile “no” — demanded a response and Bibi gave it. Full throat. That’s also in the Glick vid above. 

Yishai Fleisher does a more detailed dive into that recent press conference of Bibi’s pushing back on Biden’s feckless “no”. A presser which had the effect of increasing support for Bibi’s policies, as Caroline explains.

ADDED: Timeline of Ceasefire proposals. The story of Israel acceptance and Hamas rejectionism:

    • April 27: Israeli proposal for ceasefire, which Antony Blinken said was "extremely generous". Hamas refused
    • May 31: Israel agreed to US-backed proposal.  Hamas refused.  
    • August 16: US "final bridging proposal". Israel agreed. Hamas refused
    • August 18: Blinked said: "Israel accepted; it's now time Hamas accepts". Hamas refused
    • August 28: The CIA head said "Israel showed seriousness; now Hamas must do the same.". Hamas refused

Yet it's know-nothing, jew-hating idiots on US campuses who demand Israel agree to a "Ceasefire now".... and it's dopey ol' Joe who says it's Netanyahu who is "not doing enough".

During the presser, Bibi shows the map below, which Yishai suggests we show every time we talk Israel and the Middle East. Israel is that tiny sliver in red. Less than a half of one percent of the land belonging (undisputed!) to Arab Muslims, of which “Palestinians” are a small part, and who have only been “Palestinian” since they were thus rebranded by that ol’ oleaginous ogre Yasser Arafat in 1964. (Before that, going back to Roman days, “Palestinians” referred to Jews in that land “from the River to the sea”).

The point of this map is surely obvious. There is no shortage of land for Arab Muslims, however branded or packaged.
