Israel, Netanyahu continue to defy Biden with airstrikes amid more Hamas rocket fire
Fox News ^ | May 20 2021 | tyler Olsen

Israel is still hammering the Gaza Strip with airstrikes Thursday and declared that it will "continue to do so" in response to Hamas rockets "indiscriminately" fired at Israelis despite admonitions from President Biden for a cease-fire.

Biden in a Wednesday conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for "significant de-escalation today on a path to a cease-fire" amid reports that the two sides were nearing a potential cease-fire agreement, which the Associated Press reports could come in the next 24 hours.

Yet the Israel Defense Forces on Thursday doubled down on its attacks against terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

Israel is defying Biden by striking rocket bases in Gaza, but Hamas isn't also defying Biden by showering rockets on innocent Israelis?

Is Fox showing bias with this headline?

Or is this actually the most accurate headline they have ever written?

Depraved. Telling someone being shot at to cease returning fire.

The Israelis are obviously moving to seriously degrade and damage the Hamas ability to conduct battle. They want to set them back a decade or two.

Odd, I read earlier today that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a cease fire which was expected within 8 hours.

I figured Biden’s handlers had gotten intel that Hamas would ask for a cease fire, they always do, it’s part of their battle plan every time. So they had Biden say he was expecting it, etc. so he could claim it was his influence that caused it.

Israel is a long time ally of the USA.

Israel has never, taken orders from the USA.

Bibi will never take orders from President Biden.

Israel does NOT answer to the bumbling idiot in the Oval Office.

It ticks me off that anyone answers to him.

I personally hope Netanyahu doesn’t let up, he crosses over into Gaza with ground forces and drives every Hamas fighter into the sea....all a cease fire does is give Hamas a chance to regroup and rearm.....

You only win a war when the enemy either concedes or is eliminated, a cease fires does neither...

CBS just did a new break at 3 PM pacific time, and they claimed that a ceasefire was happening. They also worded everything as tho it ONLY happened due to BIDEN.

Hey Fox “pipples” (as pronounced by Mandela), Israel technically and officially cannot “DEFY” a foreign “Biden” administration, as Israel is not in any way, under U.S. jurisdiction.

Furthermore - Fox “pipples”, Biden gave at least $100 dollars directly to what truly is the Iranian proxy terrorist organization Hamas.

Then the incoherent, imposter, puppet, marxist pimp in chief, signalled to Iran and Hamas (and every other terrorist organization, mafia boss, and drug cartel), that we were now going to basically attack all that is lawful, just, and right, and attack Israel in almost every way, no matter what.

No louder signal could be sent from any world power, that it was now proactively “open season”, and okay to attack Israel.

Biden - you idiotic dumb freak, go pound sand.

Significant de-escalation? In due time.

Path to a ceasefire? There already is one — kill as many of the jihadi vermin as possible.

The last time this happened it took like six cease fires before one took.

As predicted, FOX already hinting that diplomat Biden got the cease fire. Wait til the others get started, it’s going to be a lovefest for peacemaker Biden.

The decision came after heavy U.S. pressure to halt the offensive. It was not immediately clear when the truce was to take effect.

Fox News says Bibi is “defying” idiot moron Biden? Fox News is so far down the CNN toilet now, I don’t watch it anymore.

“I personally hope Netanyahu doesn’t let up,”

Word is, Bibi already has. Hamas does this every time. They ask for a cease fire, resupply and start up again slowly, trying to attack without getting hit back.
This set-to isn’t over.
