Good morning. It is Friday, October 13th. It's five minutes after 11. This is Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC, so Israeli military forces ordering 1.1 million people in Gaza to evacuate. That's a sign that Israel is setting up a ground operation against Hamas, according to US officials, at least 27 Americans have been killed in Israel since Hamas launched that assault last weekend, another 14 US citizens remain missing and at least 2800 people

in Israel and Gaza have been killed in the conflict and thousands more have been injured. So at some point, Israel is going to have to unleash the fury, right? I mean, they've done the warning. They have said if you are not a part of Hamas, if you're not part of what took place, you got X amount of time to get out of here. And then we are coming in and

now the thing with Hamas is they have been well known to trap these innocent civilians in houses, et cetera, in order to try to provide cover to go, oh, no, no, can't, can't fire your rocket here. Oh, no, no, there's women and children over here. You can't, you can't do that. Look, this may be callous to say, but if you are Israel, you have given them ample warning. Unfortunately, some people are likely to not get out. And let's face it, the reality is they are using those hostages as leverage.

But part of being a leader is you have to make difficult choices. And the reality is that you're likely going to just have to move forward. And unfortunately, every loss of human life when it is an innocent civilian is terrible and horrible. But you, you've got to fight back. I mean, you've got, it's just a horrible, horrible, horrible situation, that Netanyahu and this, this, you know, unity cat, unity.

The unity government are in over there. But the reality is people from your country are being held hostage. They are probably going to die regardless. I mean, if we're just being frank about this, obviously, Hamas is threatening to cut people on and kill people on live television. They don't have any regard for these people. They're using them as hostages. They're using them as leverage. And you as Israel have to stop this from ever happening again. And the only way to do that is just level everything in your path.

Yeah. And that includes all the way down to the ground and including the tunnels because a lot of these buildings now can be used for snipers. If you really want to free the people of Palestine, you have to free them from Hamas.

No, you're right. 100% you, you have to, you have to stop it here. You have tried for generations to broker some sort of peace with these people. It's never going to happen. It hasn't happened for 5,000 plus years. It is not going to happen now. It is not going to happen tomorrow. It is not going to happen five years from now.

This has to be the moment. If killing 1,000 of your people isn't the moment, then you might as well just pack it up as a country. Like this has to be the time you put an end to this.

I've also been seeing reports now that Hasbola is getting involved and even Syria, perhaps, which is ISIS.

Well, look, I mean, it's going to be a gigantic region wide conflict. It is going to cost. I mean, again, just being honest and that's what we do here is going to cost a lot of people their lives.

It is going to cost a lot of military members their lives in all likelihood. Hopefully, you know, it's 30 to 1 terrorist to Israeli soldiers, and it'll likely become a large international conflict that will take many, many years to sort out and nothing good is ultimately going to come of it.

OK, so the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, he had that joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Blinken said, as long as America exists, we will be by Israel's side.

Anyone who wants peace and justice must condemn Hamas's reign of terror.

We know Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people or their legitimate aspirations to live with equal measures of security, freedom, justice, opportunity, and dignity.

We know Hamas, instead of promoting the well-being of its citizens, rules repressively and dedicates the resources it has to terror tunnels and rockets.

We know Hamas didn't commit its heinous acts with the interests of Palestinian people in mind.

We know Hamas does not stand for the future that Palestinians want for themselves and for their children.

Hamas has only one agenda to destroy Israel and to murder Jews.

Perfectly said, the problem is the base of the Democrat party does not agree with that.

He's right. He's 100% right. The problem is the people who elected your guy, President, and we saw him on Monument Circle yesterday, Casey, they don't agree with that.

Many of them do not believe Israel has a right to exist period, the Jews have a right to exist period, and they certainly are pro Hamas in this equation, because as we talked about with Tony Kennedy earlier, you can't separate Hamas and Palestine.

You can't say free palette, and you're saying free Hamas. That's what you're saying, because that's who controls the region.
