Both Biden & Obama need to be charged with treason, in my opinion.

If you stayed up to date it’s because he kept pressure on Israel and not hamass!!! So those barbarians thought it was a good idea to not do any damn thing per the probably now all dead hostages!

...Whenever there has been public daylight between the U.S. and Israel, Hamas has pulled back from a ceasefire and release of hostages, the secretary said...

...In his [Blinken’s] words, “There have been two major impediments, and they both go to what drives Hamas. One has been whenever there has been public daylight between the United States and Israel and the perception that pressure was growing on Israel, we’ve seen it: Hamas has pulled back from agreeing to a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

“The other thing that got Hamas to pull back was their belief, their hope that there would be a wider conflict, that Hezbollah would attack Israel, that Iran would attack Israel, that other actors would attack Israel, and that Israel would have its hands full and Hamas could continue what it was doing.”...

There is a reason you NEVER pay kidnappers.
Most likely the victims are dead or will be.
The kidnappers aren’t a government, they
are a bunch of criminals and they will act like it.
Better to spend the money to totally anilate
them completely, permanently, I’d consider
all their sons also.
This is a religious war, not what we are used to.
Act like what it really is, Moslems against the world.

At least giving material support to terrorism, along with many State Department officials.

Since Biden was not really the president, Obama was, and the facilitation of an invasion id what I am talking about.

You’re probably right, although the lack of agency coordination and even contradicting each other leads me to believe that the US gov was simply parceled out to different Dem interest groups and some agencies were left to run themselves. Look at how DOD and State a have followed opposite policies on Israel: State wags it’s finger and was even trying to move the embassy from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv while Austin arrives a week later and says “We got your back.” Or the fact that Mayorkas’ evil and illegal open borders policy may have cost the Dems the election: he was completely out of control from day 1.

The real reason? HATE

The Middle East radical Muslims have been butchers for more than a century.

After WWI the Ottoman Empire was defeated except what is now Turkey. The Kemalists were allowed to continue, the Kemalists were secular in government. Most historians say Kemal was an atheist.

The Islamists were held in check by Kemal and his followers, until Erdowan took power. He is Muslim Brotherhood and he has protected the remnants of ISIS.

Caroline Glick is an incredibly well informed Israeli, she is battle hardened and knows the reality of the Middle East.

Top notched on intelligence.
