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.

Well Biden health wise probably doesn’t have much longer, but I have no doubt he will be “elected” to a 2nd term because RINOpublicans are too stupid to do anything about election integrity. Once again they show their flawless logic “Yes Democrats obviously stole the 2020 election, but they wont steal 2024. Why? Just cuz”

What support? Israel never has any support from the world for fear of alienating the savage Islamics throughout the world. The fact that only 14 nations in the UN including our closest “allies” voted to either condemn Israel for responding militarily to their 9/11 or for them to cease fire must tell us something.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a global outcry over the Israels still held hostage, or over those raped and butchered.

On another FR thread a guy said his Jewish mother in law would never vote for Republicans because most of them were Christians, unbelievable.

Israel never had much Biden support, it was eroding from Day 1.

So we encouraged Israel to fight back, and now we cut and run.

Yea, that will get us respected throughout the world.

Damn you Bush/Bush and your juvenile concepts of “nice war”.
