US warns Israel amid Gaza carnage it doesn’t have long before support erodes

President Joe Biden and his top advisers are warning Israel with growing force that it will become increasingly difficult for it to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcry intensifies about the scale of humanitarian suffering there.

Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken – who departed Thursday for Israel with a message on protecting civilian lives – have all explicitly pressed the case in recent private conversations with the Israelis, telling them that eroding support will have dire strategic consequences for Israel Defense Forces operations against Hamas.

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point.

In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

There have been no signs that Israel’s offensive is slowing. The Israeli military said Thursday it is surrounding Gaza City and “deepening” its operations there. CNN witnessed the skies of Northern Gaza illuminated by flares and explosions as the bombardment intensified late Thursday night.

BINGO!!

That’s what leftists do. There could be a new solution though, maybe sell Iran the uranium remaining after Hitlerly sold it to Russia. That should stop the war.

Why do you think the Russians haven’t went for a kill shot on Ukraine yet? They also know that Ukraine is a black hole for Western funds.

Well, it would seem that humanitarian aid would depend on Hamas not hiding among the civilians. Put on a uniform and come out and fight.

I saw a video yesterday showing Hamas in IDF Uniforms. They were killing Palestinians in Gaza and making it look like IDF soldiers were the butchers. But they left the camera on too long and revealed they are Hamas.

The rats love never ending wars fought with one arm. There is money to be made and power to be taken.

Joe Biden does nothing but eat ice cream, soil himself and his clothes, and gas lights the American people (as well as the world, to be honest).

He’s a chaos agent. That is his role in the world.

My pastor was using that passage last night in reference to the Philistine war with Israel.

“As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again“

What one would call the money quote. The other factor is the rats love to engineer wars fought with one hand. Generating money and power for themselves using the bodies of dead soldiers to do it.

Keep in mind that Biden is not making the decisions, it’s Obama.
Israel cannot afford to stop hunting Hamas.
When there’s a serial killer or mass murderer on the loose here in the US, nobody steps up and tells law enforcement to stop their pursuit.
Biden’s words are hollow, Israel should ignore his empty threats and continue the hunt.
The Islamics have become very adept at manipulating the media, who are all too willing to propagandize on their behalf.
Fake threats and fake news from a fake president.

It might be too late for Europe. But the U.S. is going to become more Hispanic. Therefore we will be less woke. Hopefully, we'll be able to resist the efforts by the Muslims to conquer us.

Jewish voters will still vote Rat if they are currently voting Rat. It is party first, religion second for these people.

“will have dire strategic consequences for Israel Defense Forces operations against Hamas”

WTF does that mean?

Essentially, nothing.

Perhaps Blinken will get mad or something...
