The Biden administration is facing criticism for not only being indirectly responsible for the surprise attack Hamas launched against Israel Saturday, which reportedly killed hundreds and injured thousands more, but also for initially calling on Israel not to retaliate.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised swift action against Hamas in response to the attack. “The IDF will immediately use all its strength to destroy Hamas’s capabilities,” he said in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). “We will destroy them and we will forcefully avenge this dark day that they have forced on the State of Israel and its citizens. As Bialik wrote: ‘Revenge for the blood of a little child has yet been devised by Satan.’”
The Biden administration, however, signaled that it didn’t want Israel to defend itself in a post on X from the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs.
“We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred,” the post read. “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
The post sparked significant outrage from Republicans and was quickly deleted. The State Department claims that it “was not approved and does not represent U.S. policy.”
That seems unlikely. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) demanded that “every single person involved in drafting and approving this tweet […] be immediately expelled from the U.S. government.” He’s absolutely correct. Until that happens, I won’t be convinced that the post from the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs didn’t represent Biden administration policy.
Biden eventually released a statement more than 12 hours after the attack.

As I said on another thread this is the same advice you get if you’re a victim of a mugging, burglary etc etc in a dim controlled area.
People are asking on forums “Is this muslim terrorist attack Israel’s 9/11?”
I say NO! It’s Much Worse!
I just read online that the known Israeli death toll now exceeds 1,100.
Let’s tput that in perspective:
Israel has a population of about 20 million.
The USA has a population of about 330 million - that is 16.5 times largr than israel’s 20 million.
If the USA sustained a similar percentage of dead we would have 18,150 dead.
There is no doubt that muslim death cult crazies already here, and others all over the world, would love to kill that many and more here in the USA.
(of course they are already here - we have some in the US Congress, don’t we?)
With democrats and the Biden administration in the muslims corner and letting them waltz across the border a muslim attempt to mount a similar attack here is not an impossibility.
My prayers that Biden and his fellow enemies of America should be eradicated like the miasma of evil that they are have not yet been answered, but I hope they will be soon. May the innocent Jewish lives lost Saturday be avenged!
Obama gave Iran billions in cash. Now, Biden gives Iran billions in cash on a special day in Sept.
Israel population is maybe 10 million, with maybe 7.5 million Jews, max.
Correct! This is many orders of magnitude greater than 9/11 !
Biden and his people can go to hell!
Is there any doubt that Obama is calling the shots..?
We need the name of that person that wrote that tweet. They need to be fired. How can the Biden Admin claim it wasn’t approved or it was their policy? Who is in charge at the US Palestinian Affairs office?
Has Obama’s Iranian handler Valerie Jarrett issued a statement about the Israeli massacre yet?
the $6billion terrorist.
To be fair, Biden was fast asleep when the attack occurred. And everyone knows he needs all the rest he can get. No one on his staff thought it important enough to awaken him. There was another invasion that occurred 79 years ago while the Dear Leader slept...and no one wanted to wake him either.
We have become the laughing stock of the world.
Wrong answer Bungler Biden! We knew you were a numskull the minute you cancelled the Keystone Pipeline.
Don’t retaliate. Turn the other cheek. Be kind to the enemy.
Biden probably said that to Ukraine, too.
Or, maybe not.
This was always the Bush administrations caution to Israel
also. Used to anger me something fierce.
