The Morning Briefing: Read the Room, Hamas — Israel Isn't in the Mood for a Truce

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Lersitch took great pride in his renown as the premier kilted civet wrangler in the Quad County area.

The world continues to disintegrate, and the United States continues to be governed by some of the most unserious and incompetent people in its history.

First, the world.

Now that they’re facing consequences for their barbaric attacks on Israel, the terrorist lowlifes in Hamas want to play nice. It’s difficult to ascertain if they’re audacious, stupid, or a disturbing combination of both. Robert has more on the curious overture:

After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point.

Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor.”

I guess we couldn’t avoid the unserious people in American government for very long.

It certainly seems like Hamas is worried about what Israel may have in store for them. The leaders no doubt plan on plenty of sympathy from various lunatic leftist world leaders. The UN will insist that terrorists will negotiate in good faith — they just want a fair shake after all, don’t you know.

Robert is an expert on Muslim jihadis and offers this insight into what is probably going on with Hamas:

The establishment media and the leftist political elites will receive this with hosannas and take it as the dawning of a new era of peace — if only those dastardly warmongering Israelis will take Hamas’ olive branch. That is, however, not really what it is at all. For Hamas to be asking for a truce on Monday evening Gaza time, it must have had an extremely bad Sunday and Monday. For Islamic law only allows for a truce if Muslims are weak and need to gather strength to fight later more effectively, or if they’re fighting non-Muslims whom they think may accept Islam.

Indeed, every official statement from Israel has indicated that the country is not in the mood to take its foot off of the gas in this war for a while, no matter how much pressure it receives from elsewhere in the world. “Elsewhere in the world” didn’t get brutally attacked while most of its citizens were praying. Of course, Israel isn’t built for a protracted war, as my friend Stephen Green pointed out to me today. It wants to punch hard early. The late-night news from the conflict would indicate that the pleas for a truce have thus far fallen on deaf ears.

The Associated Press:

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes pounded downtown Gaza City, home to Hamas’ centers of government, with relentless bombardments into early Tuesday, after Israel’s prime minister vowed retaliation against the Islamic militant group that would “reverberate for generations.”

Hamas sympathizers throughout the world (looking at you, Germany) got to spend the weekend celebrating, but Israel is determined to make even the memories of those celebrations short-lived, as well it should.

Onto the ridiculousness of our own leaders. Ashley has a rundown of all of the messes and all that’s not being done about any of them.

And this is from Katie over at Townhall:

President Joe Biden called a lid before noon on Monday as Americans continue to be held hostage by Iranian backed Hamas in the Gaza Strip and as Israel is still under assault.

“The White House has called a lid for the day, before the pool call time. We will not be seeing the president today,” the White House pool report states.

What a comfort it is knowing that, in this time of great turmoil, the leader of the free world not only can’t lead, but he also can’t stay up past lunchtime. Maybe DOCTOR Mama Jill can pinch-hit for him sometime.

The bitter irony here is that Biden’s lack of energy is exhausting the rest of us as we watch so much of the world burn and our beloved Republic slip away.

At least he’ll be well-rested for his next nap.
