#4 Netanyahu was simply awaiting the Biden call to make certain the IDF attacks were achieving the desired outcome.

#6 #3 He has enormous pull. But, the way these things usually work out, Hamas fires off its rocket inventory and then ceasefire is imposed on Israel. We're, sorta, tired of it.

#7 ^ If one side loses the ability to fire, is it a ceasefire?

#8 If Biden is as weak and feckless as the conservative press believes, Bibi will crush Hamas further. If Bibi agrees to a cease fire it will be him who is weak and feckless. The IDF has had nearly two weeks to cripple Hamas defenses, they need to finish the job.

#9 If he really had any pull anympore there would be a ceasefire. Other world leaders realize he's just a puppet.

#11 /\ Exactly how can this 'belief' become a reality? Few would argue there is a need.

#13 A number of sources both Israeli and Hamas are predicting a cease fire on Friday.

From 1am to 9am local time 20 May, Hamas didn't fire any rockets. As Grom noted, their usable inventory may be drawing down.

#15 If the Jews secretly had such massive influence why did Trump lose? Im pretty sure no “Biden Boulevard “ is going to appear in Jerusalem anytime soon.

#17 Shades of Obama going in person to get the Olympics in Chicago.

"Just because I say so" works for parents of 3-year-olds. Less so for world leaders.

#18 Most word leaders secretly believe that Jews secretly rule USA, Chris.

Which is why I know it isn't true. If the Jews were running things, they would be a lot less fucked up than they are now from our current lot of fucktards running things.

#20 about an hour ago hamas rep in Lebanon Osama Hamdan said that hamas has plenty of missile remaining

this probably means they don't

#21 They’d shot off some 3700 as of last night... but the number I was seeing before the latest excitement was 10,000. Was that as imaginary as the last 1 million plus of Palestinian population?

#22 Cease fire! contributed by IDF high profile dumbness, i think they are on media service giving them always some nice explosions... Of course to be violated soon by some Palestinian terrorist which the same media will "forget" to put in the news...

#23 yes TW, Hamas has claimed on many occasions to have more than 10k missiles and the IDF has stated that they believe this claim to be true.

there are reasons why many of the hamas missiles may be not usable

- may have been destroyed by Israel
- may not work with the launchers available or there may not be enough launchers
- quite a few launch teams have been eliminated
- some of the missiles may be in the tunnels and not easily reached without considerable work
- some of the missiles may be have pre stored fuel that has been degraded

#24 If they run out what's the excuse to keep bombing them?

#26 No, really. You know that won't be enough. The MSMs and whiner world leaders will just get on your ass to stop 'oh the horror!'

The paleos click on empty and say 'we give up, we're adopting kabbala in fact!' What then?

#27 Give the Israelies sea front property, you get Telaviv... Give the Arabs sea front property, (and Sharon actually did give it to them) and you get Gaza.
The Gazoo's came to 2021 fighting the same way it did in 2014 when they had their asses handed to them. IDF, OTOH, has been preparing for the worst since then. I'm pretty sure the Gazoo's are going to need a bigger "infrastructure investment" than the USA after the last 11 days.

#28 "The Gazoo's came to 2021 fighting the same way it did in 2014 when they had their asses handed to them. " If they got more rocket and caused more damage in 2021 than in 2014 then that result need to be re-assessed.

#29 Frankly after more than 75 years of Paleos vs Israel time to stop, Biden's right...wipe the F-rs off the map...get it over with, no Paleos no problem. My take Paleos have outlived their welcome in the civilized world.
