Should the Biden Administration Press Israel to Withdraw from Gaza?
Should the Biden Administration Press Israel to Withdraw from Gaza?
Here’s The Scoop
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s latest outburst demanding Israel to “get out of Gaza” is just another example of the Biden administration’s misguided approach to Middle East peace. Blinken’s remarks are not only a stark departure from the foundational US-Israel relationship but also a dangerous endorsement of chaos and anarchy in Gaza.
This administration began its diplomatic overtures by calling on Israel to cooperate with Palestinian leaders, only to later demand a halt to Israel’s defensive war against Hamas. This pattern of pressuring Israel while largely ignoring the atrocities committed by Hamas is indicative of a deeply flawed and biased foreign policy.
Blinken’s insistence on a “clear, credible plan to protect civilians” and a post-conflict plan for Gaza ignores the reality of the situation. Hamas operatives have been seen re-entering areas that Israel had previously cleared, showing a complete disregard for the safety and stability of the region. Blinken’s call for Israel to withdraw would inevitably create a power vacuum ripe for chaos and, ironically, a resurgence of Hamas control.
Experts are rightfully skeptical of the Biden administration’s approach. Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, rightly pointed out that only the Israel Defense Force’s patient and well-executed operation has been successful in combating Hamas and freeing hostages.
Despite Blinken’s recent conversation with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant affirming the “ironclad” U.S. commitment to Israel’s security, the Biden administration’s actions and statements tell a different story. Their misguided attempts to bring peace to the region seem to be doing more harm than good. One can only hope that this administration reevaluates its approach before it is too late.

We need to send 10 moabs than there are square miles in Gaza (ie 120 square miles send 130 MOABs)that way we can overlap them just enough to turn Gaza into a parking lot. Biden is trying to appease his voting terrorist faction here

The ONLY “terrorists” are the Zionists invaders, and they started all the terrorism in 1946 when Menachim Begin blew up the British peacekeepers in the King David Hotel.

Your antisemitism is duly noted. Israel needs to wipe out Hamas. If they don’t Hamas will once again inade Israel and commit more war crimes.

I agree with Diggs. Israel already paid for the missles and bombs that Biden withheld until 5/15/24. Biden speaks with forked tongue. Wipe Hamas out. Then take Hezbollah out. Then Iran. I would be glad for the US military to donate MOAB bombs to crush the rest of Hamas’ tunnels.

It is obvious to the Democrats lead by Biden that they have a short memory, all of them. They need to remember who started this whole thing. We need to stand by Israel as they are the hated ones over there and always will be. Biden doesn’t know the Bible or he would shut up. I don’t see why the Catholic church does not throw him out. He claims to be Catholic but goes against every thing they teach, Along with Nancy.

Israel is not legal. Palestine goes back over 8000 years and was what the Romans, Egyptians, and Greeks called it. Palestine was made independent by the Treaty of San Remo and Treaty of Sevres in 1920, both of which the US signed. It was not legal for the UN to partition Palestine in 1948. And it was Israel that violated even that by invading Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967.

Sure we side with everything evil in Washington DC, why shouldn’t Biden side with terrorists? He is a antisemite right?
