 Blinken delivers strongest public rebuke of Israel yet: ‘Get out of Gaza’

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered one of the Biden administration’s strongest public rebukes of Israel, amid its war with Hamas in Gaza.

During a pair of TV interviews, Blinken said the United States wants Israeli forces to “get out of Gaza” amid what he described as “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians.”

He also said Israel’s tactics in the war have failed to neutralize Hamas and could create a power “vacuum” in the Palestinian territory.

When asked about the US withholding high payload bombs to Israel, America’s ally, Blinken said: “We believe two things. One, you have to have a clear, credible plan to protect civilians, which we haven’t seen. Second, we also need to see a plan for what happens after this conflict in Gaza is over. And we still haven’t seen that because what are we seeing right now? We’re seeing parts of Gaza that Israel has cleared of Hamas, where Hamas is coming back, including in the north, including in Khan Younis.”

He added: “As we look at Rafah, they may go in and have some initial success, but potentially at an incredibly high cost to civilians, but one that is not durable, one that’s not sustainable. And they will be left holding the bag on an enduring insurgency because a lot of armed Hamas will be left, no matter what they do in Rafah, or if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do. Then you’re going to have a vacuum and a vacuum that’s likely to be filled by chaos, by anarchy, and ultimately by Hamas again.”

because a lot of armed Hamas will be left, no matter what they do in Rafah, or if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do.

But yet a lot of armed Hamas will be left if Israel does exactly what Biden wants it to do...quit the war!

Absurd.

Yep ... I said this from the beginning. The Biden puppet master's biggest worry is that Israel will actually achieve their goal and win the war. America does not know the meaning of "winning" a war. America only knows forever-wars, which never achieve anything and never come to any real final conclusion.

The Biden controllers do not give a single shit about so-called "civilians". If they cared about civilians they would force Hamas to turn over the hostages they took on Oct 7. But the hostage 'civilans' are never mentioned. Only Hamas civilians seem to matter to Biden and Blinken.

The Biden people are desperate to get Hamas back in control of Gaza. Hamas are all civilians. To kill Hamas necessarily means killing civilians because that is what Hamas is. Blinken knows this. But he still wants to use the "civilian" word to gain political leverage.

America has been on an 'appease Iran' track since Obama. America does not want Israel to be successful as that may anger their masters in Iran and China. Nothing Blinken does is about 'humanitarianism or civilians'. Everything Blinken says and wants is all about deeply cynical politics. And Blinken and Biden are more than willing to allow Hamas to torture and kill all the American hostages and all the other hostages Hamas abducted as long as it makes Iran happy.

"One, you have to have a clear, credible plan to protect civilians, which we haven’t seen."  Effin' liar...

Joe and his team know how to win wars.   Look at his success with the Afghanistan withdrawal. 

Before that as O'bummers 2nd hand man in 2011 they withdrew America’s much-scaled-down troop presence in Iraq; the former VP had declared Iraq to be “sovereign, stable, and self-reliant,” and predicted that Iraq “could be one of the great achievements of this administration.” Their decision sent Iraq spiraling into sectarian violence and civil war, allowing Iran to expand its influence and opening the way for the rise of the jihadist group ISIS.

So as you can see Joe knows.
