In Which Paul Mirengoff Needs… An Objective Reality Filter.

Again, I get it. He’s… traumatized. Who wouldn’t be?

But this central argument: we must obliterate all Gazans who are not Jewish… is (aside from being abominable) not even realistically achievable.

So give it a rest Paul. Yes. Bibi will have to pay for (and build) all his own armaments if he persists past year end. That is the clear message coming from the US, and NATO more broadly. [The EU economies if polled separately are already beyond being willing to let more time slip by, without a pretty permanent cease-fire, and land for peace deal.]

So, Paul’s advice is… fundamentally unsound. But it is compounded by his PTSD.

He argues that the last war we clearly won was WW II. He’s not wrong about that. But he says… WW II style obliteration is the only “good model” for winning wars, now.

After 75 years… or 7,500 of them, I think we can safely say… there is no good model.

The only way to win “WAR GAME”… is not to play, at all.

That is the object lesson of Hiroshima — and Oppenheimer. Everyone lost — humanity lost, on those two days. On 9/11, everyone lost. Humanity lost. On 10/7… same.

There is nothing but eternal darkness / blindness / and missing limbs (at best) that comes from Gaza now. Not if obliteration is the goal for Bibi and the IDF.

Hamas will re-appear, doubled — if that is Bibi’s end game.

Wake up, Paul. Please… wake up.
