For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it's blown up in our faces

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
By Tal Schneider 8 October 2023, 3:58 pm
For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.
The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organization with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad.
Hamas was also included in discussions about increasing the number of work permits Israel granted to Gazan laborers, which kept money flowing into Gaza, meaning food for families and the ability to purchase basic products.
Israeli officials said these permits, which allow Gazan laborers to earn higher salaries than they would in the enclave, were a powerful tool to help preserve calm.

Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset. Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich, now the finance minister in the hardline government and leader of the Religious Zionism party, said so himself in 2015.

11 million people in South Florida face flash flood dangers

Careful out there!
A flood watch is in effect as excessive rainfall will bring totals up to 16 inches in southeastern Florida into Thursday. The intense rainfall rates could cause “highly impactful urban flash flooding.”
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
A flood watch is in effect for southeastern Florida as downpours have already unleashed heavy rain across the zone from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, triggering rapid urban flooding.
AccuWeather meteorologists warned on Tuesday that 11 million people in southeastern Florida would be at risk for flash flood dangers into Thursday, with excessive rainfall most likely Wednesday into Wednesday night.
The atmosphere wasted no time commencing the downpours. The corridor from Miami to Fort Lauderdale picked up 2-6 inches of rain Tuesday evening. More significant rainfall will persist into Thursday.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the region, adding that there is a “highly impactful urban flash flooding” threat. Ponding of water on highways is likely, especially in areas that drain poorly, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

Bills firing of O.C. Dorsey after loss is just stupid. Teams rarely better themselves.
Sitting at 5-5, the Bills' offense has been inconsistent, unable to move the ball for stretches, lacking a reliable ground attack and struggling mightily with turnovers. Too often this season, the Bills' offense looked like an amalgam of plays rather than a cogent plan.
Buffalo's struggles have mostly come due to costly turnovers. The Bills turned the ball over four times (two INTs, two fumbles lost) on Monday night, with three pinned on quarterback Josh Allen. It marked the second game this season for Buffalo with four-plus giveaways. The Bills have 18 turnovers on the season, tied for the second-most in the NFL.
Ultimately, Dorsey, who earned a head-coaching interview during the last cycle in Carolina, took the fall for the struggles. But will the change be enough for a disappointing Buffalo club with a tough schedule down the stretch?
The Bills move forward with Joe Brady as the play-caller for the season's final seven games. The 34-year-old saw his star rise in 2019 as the passing game coordinator for LSU during their run with Joe Burrow to the College Football Playoff national championship. In 2020, he was hired by the Carolina Panthers as offensive coordinator under Matt Rhule. In two seasons in Carolina, the Panthers' offense barely got off the ground, ranking 21st and 24th in yards and points, respectively, in 2020 and 30th and 29th in 2021.
Monday night's loss signaled panic in Western New York, as Buffalo dropped to 10th in the AFC. McDermott moved to fire Dorsey hours later, looking for a spark to jumpstart a meandering Bills club.
