WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. is talking with Israel and Egypt about the idea of a safe passage for Gaza civilians as Israel strikes the enclave after a deadly Hamas attack over the weekend, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.

"We are focused on this question, there are consultations going on," Sullivan told reporters at the White House.

"But the details of that are something that are being discussed among the operational agencies and I don't want to share too much of that publicly at this time," Sullivan said.

Israel has battered Palestinians with deadly air strikes in Gaza after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas' attack on Israel on Saturday that left hundreds dead.

Gaza's Health Ministry said at least 900 Palestinians were killed and up to 4,600 wounded in Israeli air strikes on the blockaded enclave since Saturday. The enclave, only 40km (25 miles) long by 10km (6 miles) wide, is home to 2.3 million people.

“safe passage for Gaza civilians....We are focused on this question”

How about focusing on unconditional hostage release?

Dipshit Biden considers this an opportunity to import 2,000,000 terrorists and create another voting block.

Yep. Russia would be the perfect place for them.
But no doubt the Democrats see them as future registered voters.

Rescuing Palestinians didn’t work out well years ago when Reagan did it, saving Arafat’s ass. We and the French peacekeepers lost hundreds of soldiers to I mad Mugniyeh and friends.

Honestly, there should be no need for warning.

When you sneak attack a civilian population with the kind of barbarism they employed, they should expect retribution of some kind and have moved everyone they value to safety BEFORE they carried out this atrocity.

That they didn’t displays an arrogance that is unfathomable, and is also an indictment of Israel for not responding more decisively in the past. IOW, the muslims should be expecting it and be prepared for it. Thus no *warning* by Israel should be necessary.

Free passage to the US. Immediate citizenship in a swing state, with public assistance, free housing and voter registration. Suicide belt sold separately.

“The four pillars of the strategy address key themes and threats raised by over 1,000 diverse stakeholders across the Jewish community and beyond: (1) increasing awareness and understanding of antisemitism, including its threat to America, and broaden appreciation of Jewish American heritage; (2) improving safety and security for Jewish communities....”

As the IDF moves thru Gaza they should execute and behead every single Male Palestinian , over the age of 8 . Leave not one alive , not one . End of problem in Gaza.
Demonstrate true wrath and retribution . Cause the world to fear the Jews and never want to fuck with them again.

We have plenty of America hating citizens right here in the U.S. Not to mention those in our Congress.

"Safe passage" and "humanitarian aid" are the proposals by which the Hamas fighters hope to escape death at the hands of the IDF and prolong their campaign of terror.

Just say no.

The choice is between expulsion or extermination. About two million Palestinians need to be gone. Where they go and how they get there is a major logistics and political problem.

The people running the Biden administration are functionally pro-Iranian and anti-Jewish. Israel cannot trust them or anything they propose.

Sadly, The US cannot trust Israel either. I have not forgotten the USS Liberty. We had best keep our forces well clear of all combatants. Even better, just stay out of the entire area. Let the Israelis do as they see fit. And stay out of their way.

If that is what Obama and ValJar are whispering into his earpiece, he might just do that. Maybe not the whole 2 million, but a good portion. So noble.

what U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan really said on Tuesday is that we need to give safe passage of all 17 to 40 year old men so Hamas can fight again. Grandmothers and young children can remain in GAZA, because we need photos of them being killed by Israel.

The US people doing the talking about the safe passage are either stupid as hell or they are camel jocky at heart or traitors to civilized countries.

Safe passage to WHERE?

Let them wander the Sinai desert for 40 years. Allah will provide.
