Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should’ve kept his mouth shut regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and new elections, an old ploy from the Obama administration. Joe Biden can join him, doling out unreasonable and laughable rules of engagement on Israeli forces. What I love about Netanyahu is that he told Biden and the American Left to shove it.
They’re going to move into Rafah soon and destroy Hamas, and there’s nothing weak, old Biden can do about it. Biden is also the reigning world heavyweight champion in being wrong on foreign policy matters. He’s held that title for 40-plus years (via Associated Press):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from top ally the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”
In recent days, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.” President Joe Biden expressed support for Schumer’s “good speech,” and earlier accused Netanyahu of hurting Israel because of the huge civilian death toll in Gaza.
Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel never would have called for a new U.S. election after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, and denounced Schumer’s comments as inappropriate.
“We’re not a banana republic,” he said. “The people of Israel will choose when they will have elections, and who they’ll elect, and it’s not something that will be foisted on us.”
There’s been ceasefire agreements on the table for weeks; Hamas keeps rejecting them. Given Netanyahu’s declaration of their strategic aims this weekend, Biden warned against a Rafah operation again. I’m sure BiBi hit the mute button, as he should (via NBC News):
During a critical phone call Monday, President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Israel carrying out a planned military operation in Rafah, the White House said.
"Our position is that Hamas should not be allowed a safe haven in Rafah or anywhere else, but a major ground operation there would be a mistake," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at the White House press briefing where he outlined the leaders' conversation.
"It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza, and further isolate Israel internationally," Sullivan added.
Move forward with your plans to destroy Hamas, Israel. Biden doesn’t know when his son died, so push on.
Netanyahu never said that
Jesus
Trump would lol
If Chuckie wants to call for regime change how about calling for regime change in the US, where a rogue president is allowing the country to be invaded by millions of illegal aliens.
New York: Chuckie is the best you can do? Really? He is a deranged human being.
Dementia Joe garbling again. Republicans and Independents know the Hamas stats of ‘genocide’ are BS. Mark Levin interviewed Abraham Wyner on 3/17/2024. He is a statistician who wrote article about how he determined Hamas death stats are lies. Dementia Joe doesn’t have enough working brain cells to know the difference.
“I hope Bibi told Biden to mind his own damned business.”
I hope Bibi told Biden to tell Obama to mind his own damned business and STFU.
I WISH he would have said this!!! GO BIBI! WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!
If they are so smart ,why do they keep voting Democrat? That is a real knee slapper.
Sounds like Chucky is an election denier.
There are reportedly 4 Hamas battalions in Rafah
“In recent days, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.””
Well, we can now be certain ole Chucky is not a staunch supporter of Israel.
Sounds like a paraphrase. I wish he had said that in those words:)
You likely know that there is a mandala present which the drala YWHW invests, and has done so for over 3000 years in the same language.Schmucky is less than small change.
Thousands of years ago that (Trikaya)mandala of YWHW along with the encamped tribes of Israel looked something like this as set out below.
I'd say Schmucky is toast.SO is BIden.This is because of the tendril being created by the interaction between YWHW and the Orthodox People of Israel. There is a battle between the gods of the god realms, both jealous gods, YWHW and Allah. That war is reflected now in the human realm.Lets hope we survive it. It depends on how the tendril plays out. Megiddo is a possibility.So the dice have been rolled but the final result has not occurred yet, whatever that might be.
I believe Biden and Schmucky are on the wrong side of the equation.They stand for the tyranny of Allah submission rather than the free will of humans of the YWHW mandala.
I have been looking at this struggle for years and analyzing it via the mandala principle:
The Mandla of YWHW and the Tribes of Israel, it even looks vaguely Tibetan:
May his Holy name be revered and glorified.
May his Holy name be revered and glorified.
OTOH, attempting to back Israel into a corner permits Bibi to flex just as he did, and now he can go all-in on Rafah and do unto them; all while awaiting TrumpII, who by then, with Rafah eliminated, can give Bibi a world stage for a treaty with what's left of Palestine, and then Bibi is re-elected himself.
Actually that is a way of looking at the world I have not heard of or thought of. I understand what you’re saying though, it’s an interesting way to model samsara. And obviously straight out of tradition. Heck, I’ve been expecting to see bright flashes over the horizon for over a year now.
My instinctive reaction to it all is “it’s just phenomena.” I don’t mean to sound high-minded about it. I will probably fail to fully realize what I’m referring to there this time around. But this clown show we call “phenomena” is having less and less affect on me. I’m going to try to ride that progress as far as I can.
As for Schmucky, the last big realization he had was “Oh, this is how you get elected and rich, smile for the camera and pretend you care.” :)
Wouldn’t wanna be him. Can’t say how this one will end but he might wind up in a bag of cricket flour at the end of his next life. lol
I’ve been here 24 years
Never seen that
Amen
One of the Lojong slogans comes to mind when speaking of phenomena :
Be a child of illusion.
BUt the dynamic of samasara and the battle between Jealous Gods is why we have protectors.
The protector principle and dwelling between the interstices of chance is right on the front burner these days.
OK, I get it. That makes perfect sense.
That has never been an aspect of the Dharma I studied, was encouraged to study or had conversations about. I guess I heard enough to know just what you’re talking about though. :)
Those upper realms have always seemed like beings and places that exist somewhere else but I think I see now why that is not the case. Could not be the case.
The 6 realms are right here all the time.We can see our state of mind without prejudice in that light, and we also can see that in others without judgment. Its a useful mind/heart skill to cultivate because we will go through rebirth, and who wants to make the wrong turn? BUahahahahahahaha!
I think many Tibetan monasteries thought those teachings so nugatory that they often painted the wheel of life on their exterior temple walls . The majority of the Tibetan population was illiterate, but yet they learned the 6 realms wisdom teachings by studying that painting work on the 6 realms, along with spoken teachings from monks.
So knowing that we have a war between jealous gods, we can do more than hunker down, we through practice can ask the enlightened ones to intervene and pacify , because inside each realm the Buddha principle is at work.
But I cannot help but cheer on YWHW. His foundations are freedom and peace.And he does not employ demons from the hell realm to invest drug induced humans like happened on Oct 7th.What happened that day was truly inhuman and vile, Hell Realm activity.
But as many of our wonderfully aware'Saturday Night Live' Buddhist warriors have jokingly said in the past: "Suck it up buttercup, and do not be afraid to duck the incoming."And we must be aware of what is happening in order to try to request and pray for war to be pacified,but it may be a very tall order indeed with both the Ukraine and Israel situation.
