Ted Cruz Torches State Department For Deleted Tweet Urging Israel To ‘Refrain From Violence & Retaliatory Attacks’ With Hamas
https://www.msn.com ^ | 12h | Phillip Nieto

The State Department was slammed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Saturday for posting a now-deleted tweet urging Israel to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks” with Hamas.

Hamas militants attacked Israel by shooting missiles into towns as well as executing civilians, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians on Saturday. However, President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a televised speech hours after the attack, reaffirming the United States’ commitment to standby Israel.

The attack was the largest organized attack on Israel in decades as multiple towns near Gaza were invaded. The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs posted a tweet on X that generated a lot of controversy before it was removed. The office is a diplomatic post within the State Department that was opened by the Biden administration to boost relations with the Palestinian government.

“We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred,” the office wrote in a tweet. “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”

Cruz blows the whistle on State Department joining with Putin in calling for Israel to not retaliate.

“What difference would it make,” to quote Hillary Clinton

Biden administration wonders what if they had given the Palestinians more money.

Israel has lost the will to survive.

We lost our will to survive several decades ago, but until recently, that was masked by our greater size and strengths.

Israel has maybe 20 years left.

We have maybe 50 years, if we are lucky.

Them’s the breaks folks.

Zelensky Pushing US for Long-term Security Deal Based On ‘Israeli Model’

BY DANIEL BUSH, 8/31/23, newsweek.com

Excerpt-—Ukrainian President Volodymyr said he expects Ukraine and the United States will agree to a security pact that’s similar to the alliance between the U.S. and Israel. The two countries don’t have a defense treaty, but the U.S. provides Israel with billions in military aid and has long been its most important ally.

“We will likely get this exact model,” Zelensky said in an interview Sunday with Ukrainian media, “the Israeli model that includes weapons, technology, training [and] finances.”

Such an arrangement would provide Ukraine less security than membership in NATO, which President Biden has said won’t happen before the end of the war. But it would establish Ukraine as a critical long-term partner for the U.S. in Eastern Europe, while sending Russia the message that Western support for Kyiv won’t waiver.

Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.

BUhahahahahahah.

Those are not Jews, they are Bolshevik descendants who do not have YHWH in their lives.

Any Jew that votes Democrat is extremely confused by these Bolsheviks like Schumer and Nadler, mentally ill or simply not with YHWH. They have only a short time now to repent their erroneous ways.

YHWH , troops prepare for battle.

O Zion, let not our children perish!

Apparently Hamas didn't get the memo.

They had final approval before the tweet was sent.

Well, if “terror and violence solve nothing”, then this present regime of killing, stealing and destroying should henceforth remove itself from the United States and go live on an active volcanic island somewhere ( and JUMP IN!!!).

NO, as far as we know there were NO US Jewish citizens who voted democrat who died in this latest terror attack. The ones who vote democrat here in the US usually have no skin in the game, they talk a lot but are not doing border security on the Gaza strip. They run their mouth as their homeland is slowly killed.

Joe can get on TV and blather about how he and the US backs Israel but I wonder about him.

I actually agree and am in no way advocating direct US involvement. But Iran/Hamas looked at America and saw a weak feeble old man at the helm and knew there would be no repercussions if they attacked.
