America’s Betrayal of Israel
The Tablet ^ | 7 Oct 2023 | Liel Liebovitz

Posted on 10/08/2023 6:37:06 AM PDT by Rummyfan

A decade of perverse U.S. policy sets the stage for mass murder

I am writing this on Saturday, as news outlets report hundreds of Israeli dead, and dozens, if not hundreds, of soldiers and civilians kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and taken into Gaza.

It is never a good idea to write anything as events are still rapidly unfolding, especially as neither I nor anyone else can answer the only question that ultimately matters—namely, “what happens now?” But we can answer another, much more rudimentary and no less urgent question: Who’s at fault?

There will be plenty of time to pore over how a cataclysmic disaster of this magnitude could happen, and who—from Bibi down to the IDF Chief of Staff, head of intelligence, et al.—failed to protect the lives of Israelis. A lot of it will have to do with people who should have known better—including former prime ministers and former and current high level security officials—abandoning the core commitment of defending Israel and instead entertaining themselves by cosplaying some game of Demokratia, complete with donning handmaid outfits and ululating about fascism. Hysterics about your political opponents being the enemies of democracy may be fun in Kalorama; in Sderot and Ofakim, and even in Tel Aviv, there’s a price to pay for abandoning the real world and indulging in fetish play.

it’s as if certain people offered Israel up for sacrifice in order to feed the beast, Iran.

If the Neocons spent a bit more time trying to ‘reform’ the Palestinians, rather than trying to ‘reform’ Israel, there’s a good chance this wouldn’t have happened.

Putting blame where it belongs -- those who gave billions to Iran, i.e. the Biden/Obozo administrations. It will ultimately be revealed that this Hamas attack was funded by Iran.

Never forget that BiBi was one of the first world leaders to get in front of a camera and enthusiastically congratulate The Vegetable for his "win" over Trump.

The Israelis have a Deep State, too.

And theirs is NOT our problem.

Mark Levin says this too: we rebuilt Iran and its client states: Congress under Joey B returned to paying Palis (helping them pay for Pay to SlayP; Joey B loosened and outright ignored sanctions against Iran (putting $10’s of billions in their coffers); we allowed Iran to sell its oil, again adding to its Treasury; Joey tsfrred $6 bill 2 weeks ago; Dems sent money to Israeli groups in opposition to Bibi to destabilize his gov’t; Joey et al called Bibi “extremist/fascist”; Joey reinstituted negotiations on JCPOA giving Iran the time of day and there is the question of Rob Malley and his coziness with our secrets and Iranian friends.

The barbarians have been at the gate for a long time. OBuyden opened the gates and gave then guns and weapons. Our barbarians are dispersed coast to coast. Guess what comes next.

i must add that we know that weapons Joe left behind in Afghanistan surfaced in Gaza, so add that to my list of our enabling of the terrorists in the ME.

The richest people in the Democrat machine are Jews.
They vote +70% D.
All of Biden’s children were married to Jews.
Harris is married to a Jew.
Feel free to look up Biden’s Administration.
Biden can barely form a sentence, and Harris is Hank Johnson stupid.
Soros, Fink, etc…
I’m not certain what the depth of this is, but blaming Americans is a foolish statement.
That said, this is one author. I can’t pretend to know how many agree with him.

I know. In fact I was called a Nazi and anti Semitic for saying that.

I was also called that for pointing out how on FR that every scumbag that is Jewish, is deemed “not really a Jew”.
It’s amazing, in all my time here, no “real Jew” has ever done a thing wrong.
Soros, Weinstein, Epstein, SBF, Madoff, Rainer, Fink, etc.

Let’s try something different. That old man says he stands behind Israel. I would say, get the hell away from me old man. Cut the head off of the Iranian snake, and terrorism will be cut down to size.

i believe the author’s blame is on bad American policies. perhaps you agree with all the missteps according to LL, aligning yourself with Joe and BO. that’s the part of your post which i understand enough to respond to.

That is what I believe. The CIA had to know it was coming. Therefore, it was planned.
