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.

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

You and your dumbass handlers don't realize it was a mistake for Israel to just hand over that terrorist territory in the first place in the hope that Arafat would stop his suicide bombing of their buses, cafes, weddings, market places, et al., while Israel built their wall.

Yet, the PLO would still send rockets over that wall with no concerns of peaceful western style civilians, and on it goes now exponentially.

These so-called Palistinians cannot co-exist with western civilization.

My hope is that Israel destroys the entire strip and reclaims it as Israeli property. I don't care where the Palis wind up because the have no where to go. Common consensus is Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Aftganiscrap doesn't want them because of the problems they create. Let them wander in the desert with the occasional airdrops for basic humanitarian subsistence. Let them live like their Somalian shitheads and maybe get airdrops.

I don't want the US to get actively involved. And no, I don't think Iran is going to make a direct move on Israel.

"Japan was also occupied after WW2."

True, but they still had their Honor to agree to MacArthur's constitution as a new form of government. They had dishonor in losing, but retained their honor with the dictates of the winner. Yes I know, simplistic analysis.

Biden should just shut up. His meddling in the Middle East is what brought this about, and he knows it. Now he’s trying to stoke the fire even hotter.

He’s an ignorant and dangerous anti-American puppet, and the only President in the history of our country NOT elected by the legitimate votes of American citizens.

The last thing that Israel, that ANYBODY should do, is listen to Biden. Screw that worthless, brain-dead moron.
