There is a crushing disconnect between reality and the Democrat media/academia axis perceptions (propaganda) violently foisted on the American people daily. We a re living a big lie. Huge. And the sooner the American people come to terms that they’ve been duped – for decades – the sooner we can take back control of our our destiny.
Majority of Americans Want Israel to Finish the Job in Rafah
By: Hugh Fitzgerald, May 4, 2024;
While assorted college brats have been creating chaos on their campuses, and receiving plenty of publicity on the nightly news, as they accuse Israel of “apartheid and “genocide,” and call for the eradication of the Jewish state and its replacement “from the river to the sea” by a 23rd Arab state, an overwhelming majority — 77% — of the American public, including those in the youngest group polled, support an IDF operation in Rafah “to finish the war with Hamas.” And among that youngest group, support for Israel’s Gaza war has gone up, not down, since October 7, directly contradicting the conventional journalistic wisdom. More on the latest poll can be found here: “Majority of Americans think Israel should press on with Rafah op., finish war – poll,” Jerusalem Post, April 30, 2024:
Story continues below advertisementA strong majority of American voters believe that Israel should move forward with a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to finish the war against Hamas, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll published on Monday [April 29].
Survey respondents responded to a prompt asking, “Should Israel move forward with an operation in Rafah to finish the war with Hamas, doing its best to avoid civilian casualties even though there will be casualties, or should it back off now and allow Hamas to continue running Gaza?”
While willingness to support an Israeli operation in Rafah correlated with age (older respondents viewing such an operation more favorably than younger respondents,) even among the youngest respondents, those aged 18-24, 57% said Israel should move forward with a Rafah operation.
In contrast, 84% of respondents aged 65 and above said the same.
Additionally, respondents who reported that they followed Israel closely were far more likely than not to support a Rafah operation. Among these survey respondents, 77% said that Israel should move forward with an operation in Rafah….
Those who are paying attention — “following closely” — what is happening between Israel and its enemies, are more likely to see the need for an IDF incursion into Rafah. The more you know the more likely it is that you will support Israel’s war against Hamas to continue till the terror group is dismantled.
In January, 63% of 18-24 year olds wanted an “unconditional ceasefire,” which would leave Hamas still standing. That means 37% of them supported the IDF continuing to fight. Three months later, 57% of those in the same age group now support an Israeli incursion into Rafah to finish off Hamas. Support for Israel, and understanding of its war aims, has only grown among the young. Apparently those campus warriors carrying water for Hamas are not representative.
In this latest poll, taken between April 24-25, 57% of the youngest cohort now not only side with Israel, but support its effort to finish off Hamas in Rafah even knowing that there will unavoidably be civilian casualties.
Support for Israel’s war against Hamas among the young is 5% higher than it was in October, and 20% higher than it was in January. It is holding steady among other age groups. Almost four in five Americans following the war closely now support an Israeli invasion of Rafah. Take note of that, Bidenites. And you too, campus brats.

Yes. …
This sort of illustrates the problem with bottom up leadership.
My grandfather could have told you this is where we were going. I know because he was telling me when I was a kid (and no, I did not understand it until 20 years later) …
Now that we can see the Left has absolute power, and they’re running the whole dumpster fire to destroy the nation – for fun and profit btw, not ideology, but also because they’re evil and they love violence and suffering … so where are we?
At the beginning of the end. We can still “win” … but there are no more easy solutions. The most likely solution is … we go full South Africa / Venezuela for a few decades until the generations change, and we get a military coup, which hopefully won’t be Muslim or Communist …
in which case we will be back on track circa AD 2050.
If we go communist, we might be back on track by AD 2100 … after the whole “climate change” nonsense wipes out our fossil fuel resources AND our rare earth elements AND pollutes the planet.
If we go Islam … well. There’s no coming back until Jesus returns.
And that’s the good news.
Feel free to assume it could be much worse.

And if Bibi doesn’t do as Americans want, it may l;ead to more antisemitism. The squeamish and skittish behavior of Israel is infuriating.

Not only should “the job” be finished there against them but here as well against all terrorists and dems.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has wisely spoken when he said that “We will eliminate Hamas…”
Sometime before his most recent statement about getting rid of Hamas once and for all, .Netanyahu had declared a similar assertion that “No force in the world will stop us from elimination Hamas.”
He was not only right, for he also spoke the sensible thing to do
For Hamas is a dangerous and deadly plague for all Jewish people and the State of Israel and as some people don’t seem to realize that vicious and vile jihad entity also dangerous to America and all the other Western countries.
Furthermore, Hamas hates the Jewish people with a spiteful passion, which also carries over to the same detestable and deadly malice for Christians. As is the saying in the Middle East among jihad-minded Muslims, it’s “First comes Saturday then comes Sunday” Meaning “First kill all the Jews and then kill all the Christians.”
To think about it , the many Muslims propagandists who live in the United States keep telling the Americans as well as other Westerner that “Islam respects Jews and Christians as “People of the Book. “ Those words ,of course, mean the Bible.
In reality ,many Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere engage in severs persecution Christians and Jews Therefore , those words spoken by the Muslim apologists for Islam are disingenuous and empty words.
The persecution of who aren’t officially “People of the book” would be horrendously cruel and murderous. towards Hindus and Buddhists as well as people of other religions who Muslim view a “pagan.”
Prime Minister Benjamin had revealed knowledge and wisdom by his statement about the need to about the very important and necessary need to engage in the “Elimination of Hamas.”

The only way to stop the Gaza Arabs from killing Jews in Israel is to forcibly remove them to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and never let them come back. This Rafah operation is too little too late. NOW is perfect time to finish the job, not half way. Just like 2025 is the time to round up 20 million criminal invaders in America and ship them out,

IDF needs to grind the Hamass into dust. Just like the allies in WWII ground down NAZI Germany into nothing. Total defeat never to rise again….ever.
