Surrender: Blinken Tells Israel It Lacks ‘Credit’ to Defeat Hamas (Biden Stabs Israel in the Back)
Breitbart ^ | November 30, 2023 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 11/30/2023 5:38:28 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Israel that it lacks “credit” to conduct the kind of military campaign necessary to defeat Hamas, saying that the Biden administration would not tolerate large-scale bombing over months in southern Gaza.

Blinken’s remarks were leaked to the Israeli press. The Times of Israel quoted a transcript of his meeting with Israel’s war cabinet:

Blinken: You can’t operate in southern Gaza in the way you did in the north. There are two million Palestinians there. You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit UN facilities, and ensure that there are enough protected areas [for civilians]. And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population. What is your system of operation?

IDF Chief Herzi Halevi: We follow a number of principles — proportionality, distinction, and the laws of war. There were instances where we attacked on the basis of those principles, and instances where we decided not to attack, because we waited for a better opportunity.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: The entire Israeli society is united behind the goal of dismantling Hamas, even if it takes months.

Blinken: I don’t think you have the credit for that.

The US has always held Israel back from doing what it needs to do. I am against giving Israel "aid," because we use the power of our aid to perpetuate Middle East conflict.

It also embeds Israel in U.S. defense infrustrature way too much, so they can't even operate the Iron Dome (which they invented) without Arrow missiles (which they designed) produced by Boeing, because Israel does not have the industrial capacity to make enough of them.

Don’t underestimate the foolishness of the Obama cabinet (yes, 0bama). The media will support and the UN will encourage. Biden will maneuver into a No Fly Zone. I imagine it will prompt Israel to clean out Judea /Samaria as the US becomes more belligerent to Israel’s fight to exist.
The destruction of the AlAqsa mosque is coming soon. That will be last straw for Muslim nations to sit idle. It removes the proxy state of war that has existed since 1973.

Yeah, Democrats do not stand with the Jewish people. As with Blacks I have never understood why either of them have so staunchly supported the Democrats. Just more evidence of how screwy our nation is sometimes. 😋

Two aircraft carriers cannot enforce a No Fly Zone over Israel without a full US-Israeli war, and probably not even then. Israel has submarines and nukes and are likely much more competent than the US military.

Biden’s pledge to stand with Israel has reached its expiration date. Good. We can accuse Biden of stabbing Israel in the back as caving to radical terrorist sympathizers.

Anyone who thinks our government wants "peace" in the Middle East is a full-blown moron. We are the biggest war-mongers in the world.

Worth repeating.

To add insult to injury, MSNBC sycophants are spending hours attacking Israel for ‘not preventing the attack’...

Similar to attacking a raped woman for ‘causing the attack’ when “she knows bad men are out there”. Joe and Mika didn’t spend ten minutes on Morning Joe talking about how horrible Hamas was - just unrelenting condemnation of Israel and Netanyahu. Real sickos.

You may be right. But, it will be a demonstration of how serious the US takes ‘peace’ in the Middle East. I wouldn’t doubt US assistance to Israel’s enemies to make a protracted liberation effort of Judea and Samaria a more difficult task.
