Biden says Israel should not occupy Gaza amid expected invasion: ‘Big mistake’
New York Post ^ | October 15, 2023 | Joe Tacopino

President Biden said in an interview aired Sunday night that Israel should not occupy Gaza following a devastating terror attack by Hamas, claiming the move would be a “big mistake.”

Biden was speaking to CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview that was filmed Thursday when he was asked about the expected military action on the Gaza Strip by Israeli Defense Forces.

“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Biden said when asked if he would support an Israeli occupation of Gaza.

...

I think that it would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again.”

The Israeli government gave 1 million people living in the northern area of the Gaza Strip 24 hours to evacuate before an expected assault on the country.

The Israeli Defense Forces have been pummeling Gaza with rockets since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7.

Biden said in the interview that he supports a “humanitarian corridor” that would allow innocent civilians safe passage from the slaughter.

“Our team is talking to them about that,” Biden said of a potential pathway to get citizens out of harm’s way. “Whether there is an outlet to get these women and children out of that area at the moment — but it’s hard.”

The president also said that he wants humanitarian supplies brought into Gaza and was “confident” in Israel’s ability to carry out a justified defense.

“There’s a standard that democratic institutions and countries go by,” he said. “I’m confident that there’s gonna be an ability for the innocents in Gaza to be able to have access to medicine and food and water.”

...at least 29 Americans who have died, according to the US State Department.

What’s the point of occupying a glass parking lot?

It’d be nice if there was 1/10th of the concern for Christian Armenians being genocided RIGHT NOW... but it’s a virtual media blackout for Christian victims.... of course. Not even a voice of concern from ‘conservative’ pundits about it.

The only ppl who could offer Gazans safe passage from the strip would be Egypt and they’ve sealed the border. Unless they expect Israelis to provide harbor to the same savages who want to destroy them, then it’s up to Egypt to step up to the plate.

Yes. They should simply push, push, and push. From the border of the Gaza strip to the sea.

Don’t stop until they get to the sea.

Someone should tell Brandon to stop occupying Delaware.
And DC.
And the rest of America.
Am Yisrael Chai!

> Biden says Israel should not occupy Gaza <

Israel really should listen to Field Marshal Biden. After all, his skillful withdrawal from Afghanistan marks him as one of history’s great military geniuses.

“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Biden said when asked if he would support an Israeli occupation of Gaza.

... “If that were to happen then we couldn’t get Hamas to attack again.” biden said.

I suggest Operation Linebacker III, begin at the 3 Borders N/E/S and carpet bomb from there moving to the Beach and leave nary a spot for a Sand Flea to live. Built a massive wall around the South and East Borders and turn it into a big Beachside Resort.

Democrat FDR was in favor of both unconditional surrender and occupation.

“What restrictions were placed on Italians during World War II?

“Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, approximately 600,000 Italian legal aliens in the United States were placed under restrictions. Among the restrictions were prohibitions on travel more than five miles from home; curfews from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.; confiscation of shortwave radios, firearms, cameras, flashlights, and other “signaling devices”; and evacuation from coastal towns.

“About 1,600 Italians were interned in a network of camps across the United States, but primarily in Missoula, Montana. The restrictions against the Italians were lifted in October 1942, although it was not until the Italian surrender in September 1943 that most internees were released.

“What restrictions were placed on Germans in the United States during World War II?

“Restrictions similar to those imposed on Italian legal aliens were also placed on German legal aliens in the United States during World War II. Such restrictions included curfews, confiscation of personal property, travel restriction, and evacuation from coastal towns. Approximately 10,905 Germans were interned in camps across the United States, including Missoula , Montana and Crystal City, Texas. The last German internees were released in 1948.”

"I think that it would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again.”

For once, I agree with Biden.

Israel should pound Gaza into rubble and bulldoze the rubble into the sea. They can leave the area as an unoccupied parking lot.
