What do millions of Israelis' lives mean compared to a hundred thousand Arab voters in Michigan?
In what was undoubtedly a tense phone call, President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "an immediate ceasefire is essential" in Israel's war for survival against Hamas and that "U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps."
According to the official readout, Biden characterized the deaths of World Central Kitchen workers as an intentional strike on humanitarian aid workers and told Netanyahu that it was unacceptable. In a video statement put out hours after the incident, Netanyahu said it was unintentional and that a thorough inquiry would be conducted, and the Israeli military expressed "sincere sorrow" for the deaths.
This is opportunistic and hypocritical by Biden. After he killed 13 American troops with his rushed and chaotic bug-out of Afghanistan, he ordered a hasty, poorly-intelligenced Public Relations "attack on terrorists." This attack killed zero terrorists but murdered 10 innocent people, including children.
Deaths happen in wartime. Biden should well know this. He basically ordered a bombing on a site on the thinnest of intelligence, knowing full well it could be bad intelligence, because he needed to change the headlines for a couple of days.
But Israel drops a single errant bomb, and now they're required to stop their very-just war against the terrorist group Hamas.
Biden also "urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home," according to the readout, as if Netanyahu's negotiators have ever not been empowered to conclude a deal to bring the hostages home.
Hamas is holding the hostages. Does he lean on Hamas to release them? No, he leans on Israel to convince Hamas to pretty-please release them.
Unbelievably, (Doctor) Jill Biden is now in charge of Biden's Pivot to Hamas.
If that [demand for an immediate ceasefire with no reciprocation by Hamas] sounds familiar, it just so happens to be what Jill Biden recently demanded of her husband behind the scenes. Yes, the president's wife is apparently running the country.
According to a new report, while being confronted at a Ramadan event by a pro-Hamas supporter, the president revealed that his wife has been seething behind the scenes and demanding that her husband "Stop it, stop it now" concerning Israel's war against Hamas.
John Kirby struggled to explain the Regime's shift to Hamas:
There's a full-court press to appease Michigan Arabs -- Secretary of State Anthony Blinken declared that Israel was becoming "indistinguishable" from Hamas itself.
Tell me, Anthony -- are the like NAZIS too?
Can you imagine what the leftwing media would be saying if Trump reversed course on supporting a traditional ally in order to placate a religiously-motivated bloc of his own voters?!?!
But as all grows dark, there comes a hero.
If that's unclear -- Fetterman's Monster isn't always as eloquent as you'd like -- he is directly rebuking Biden and saying that support for Israel should not be conditioned on anything.
BrettT. informs:
Fetterman is getting savaged in the replies. People are telling him to enjoy his one term and hoping that he has another stroke.
Oh, those are what the media calls DEATH THREATS, right?
Is the media going to seize and pounce the left's DEATH THREATS made against a Senator?
Or nah?
Nah, right?
By the way: Hamas rejected another ceasefire deal.
The Times of Israel reports:
Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh says that his terror group at war with Israel is sticking to its conditions for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, including a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
Israeli officials visited Egypt earlier this week in a renewed effort to secure a deal, but a Palestinian official close to mediation efforts says there are no signs of a breakthrough.
"We are committed to our demands: a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive and complete withdrawal of the enemy out of the Gaza Strip, the return of all displaced people to their homes, allowing all aid needed for our people in Gaza, rebuilding the Strip, lifting the blockade and achieving an honorable prisoner exchange deal," Haniyeh says in a televised speech marking Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day.
No pressure for them! Biden's not threatening to withhold aid, or put that dock on hold, unless they agree to a ceasefire!
