Joe Biden reportedly has told Benjamin Netanyahu that he expects “significant de-escalation today” of the conflict between Israel and its Palestinian attackers. A White House spokesperson stated:
[Biden] wants this to be de-escalated. He wants this to be a sustainable calm. This is what we have been calling for, for the past eight days, and this is what we’re continuing to do.
Does Biden really expect Israel to “de-escalate” while Hamas rockets continue to bombard its farms, suburbs, and cities? Or is his statement for show — an attempt to appease the increasingly strong anti-Israel faction of the Democratic Party?
With Biden, the question is tough to answer and, perhaps, meaningless. This president has no true beliefs about policy. His shifting stances on position after position tell us so.
Maybe the key word in Biden’s “expectation” is “today.” Israel can probably afford to de-escalate for a day while Biden and others seek a cease fire. But if these efforts fail today, as seems likely if not certain, Israel will have to return to its current strategy of bombing Hamas targets until the terrorists’ rocket fire ceases. Israel might even have to up the ante.
Based on what we hear from my wife’s family in Israel, some of whom are very much on the left, Israelis are firmly behind Netanyahu’s efforts to bomb Hamas into temporary submission. These are the voices that matter to Netanyahu.
Biden can (and will) say whatever he finds it convenient to say in the moment. The dogs bark but the caravan moves on.

so what...
Escalate, Bibi!
That’s really up to the Islamic jihadists, isn’t it?
Not fighting back is not an option.
How do you say GFY in Hebrew?
Yeah, right. It’ll deescalate when the final Hamas is pancaked like his leader.
Ok one giant carpet bombing with the MOABs that I pay for would be appropriate.
Ignore the senile old fool known as Biden
What is Biden going to do to Bibi, look at his watch again and call his daddy Bathhouse Barry like he did on the Ukranians?
I expect Biden will be disappointed.
Never capitalize islam, if you don’t mind.
It ain’t worthy of any respect whatsoever.
According to google translate:
שיזדיינו העסקים ותזדיין אתה
LOL! Biden is the least intimidating President ever, including Obama and whoever that one who had a boyfriend was.
Why? Did Hamas tell him they were disarming?
These people seem to think it’s up to Israel to calm the situation, but it wasn’t Israel launching thousands of rockets at civilians. Israel has both a right and a duty to defend its people.
Biden is an evil disgrace
With Democrats in power, America is an untrustworthy ally
He would be smart to ignore Biden.
Did Biden tell Netanyahu about how Democrats were able to deescalate in Portland, Seattle, and other cities?
Biden should try clicking his fingers.
In addition to his appropriate response to islamic terrorists, I would hope Prime Minister Netanyahu has an appropriate response to the senile old fool in the Oval Office.
