White House: There Are ‘Too Many Civilian Casualties’ in Israel’s War, ‘The Number Needs to Be Zero’
Breitbart ^ | 04/26/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 04/26/2024 6:56:29 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby stated that Hamas doesn’t care about the Palestinian people and if they did, “they’d lay down their arms, they’d step aside, they’d release those hostages,” but they’ve refused hostage release offers. Kirby also stated that there have been too many civilians killed in Gaza and the number of civilian casualties “needs to be zero.”

There was a long youtube interview with a Jewish woman that was part of a group that prepared the dead for burial according to the strict Jewish rules.

She dealt with female bodies. In several cases they could not determine where the head would have been - the head needs to be placed in a certain compass direction. She said they did their best. She said that the Jewish burial rules do provide some latitude if the person was killed in war (which these victims were).

I don't know who this Ian Hanchett guy is (apparently he's a Hillsdale College graduate), but I don't know why Breitbart editors let he get away with putting "Israel's War" in the headline when nobody in the article calls it "Israel's War."

Why is it "Israel's War" when it was Hamas that broke the cease-fire?

[Let’s not forget that the one they claim to be the greatest man that ever lived, MadMo, INSTRUCTED his followers to take SEX SLAVES of females that he warred against, who would not ‘convert’.]


While he put it indelicately, the Rape of the Sabines is embedded in the genetic record. A lot of communities have maternal genes from one source and paternal genes from a completely out of area source which, along with archeological finds, indicates the massacre of males and the taking of women from defeated communities as wives and concubines.

Muhammad was a ruthless warlord first and foremost and no angel. But taking the enemy’s women as consorts and slaves has a very long history. The alternative was usually a mass grave, so many acquiesced. Some remain unreconciled, and one such woman is said to have poisoned Muhammad, possibly damaging his health and leading to an early grave for him.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaynab_bint_Al-Harith#Feeding_Muhammad_poisoned_lamb/goat_shoulder
[As the leaders went to Muhammad to negotiate the terms of surrender, soldiers ran into the castles to collect weapons, treasures and captives. Zaynab asked what Muhammad’s favourite food was. On hearing it was shoulder of lamb, she killed a lamb (some versions say a goat) from her flock, seasoned the shoulder with a deadly poison and roasted it. When the treaty negotiations were finished, Zaynab pushed her way into Muhammad’s presence and offered him the meal as a gift.[3]: 249–252 [6]: 123–124 According to Ibn Ishaq:

When the apostle had rested, Zaynab d. al-Harith, the wife of Sallam b. Mishkam prepared for him a roast lamb, having first inquired what joint he preferred. When she learned that it was the shoulder she put a lot of poison in it and poisoned the whole lamb. Then she brought it in and placed it before him. He took hold of the shoulder and chewed a morsel of it, but he did not swallow it. Bishr b. al-Bara b. Ma’rur who was with him took some of it as the apostle had done, but he swallowed it, while the apostle spat it out, saying, ‘This bone tells me that it is poisoned.’”[4]: 516

Bishr was unable to stand up, and “his colour became like a head shawl (taylasan),”[8]: 334 i.e., green. The Muslims dropped a piece of the meat in front of a dog, who ate it and immediately died.[3]: 252 According to al-Waqidi:

The Messenger of God called Zaynab, and said, “Did you poison the shoulder?” She said, “Who told you?” He replied, “The shoulder.” She said, “Yes.” He asked, “What persuaded you to do that?” She said, “You killed my father, my uncle and my husband. You took from my people what you took. I said to myself: If he is a prophet he will be informed. The sheep will inform him of what I did. If he is a king, we will be relieved of him.”[8]: 334

Muhammad declared that Allah would never have allowed such an assassination attempt to succeed.[11] The Muslims asked if they should kill her, but Muhammad replied, “No.”[12][6]: 123–124 [4]: 516 So “the Jewess returned as she had come.”[3]: 252 ]

This is further proof that Joe Biden is a severely compromised belligerent fool.

Had the left encouraged abortions and not having kids amongst the Palestinians like they have in the West then perhaps there would be fewer civilian casualties. C’mon Left, please go to the Middle East and start encouraging abortions. All Leftists, I highly recommend you do this.....

Isn’t that like saying Americans are all in for communism and forced transgender surgery for children because we “elected” Biden?

There Are ‘Too Many Civilian Casualties’ in Israel’s War...

THEY'RE ALL "CIVILIANS"!!

Every Hamas-hole is a civilian, and virtually every resident is a Hamas supporter. And if they're not....Hamas will kill them.

Hamas kills more Gazans than Israel ever thought of, using them as human shields.

It might be if the RATs KILLED every Republican.

But the Nazi indoctrination given to US students can be fairly compared to that forced on muzzard toddlers in Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinians by and large and by that it’s likely 95% in support of these terrorists or are the terrorists themselves. Our country is split 50/50 so not a fair analogy on your part.

I am reminded of the Geneva Conventions, which attempt rational, moral threads to grasp during wars’ barbarity. For my Navy experience pulverizing a major enemy base in Vietnam, I especially liked the obvious reading of Articles 28 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The VC were responsible for any civilian deaths in the base we shelled. Those civilians qualified as Protected Persons within the enemy’s physical control and could not be used to render certain points and areas immune from military operations.
