"We are going to win with all our strength," the Israeli PM vowed.

"The entire people of Israel stand behind you, and we will deliver a severe blow to our enemies to achieve victory," Netanyahu added.

GOP senators introduce bill to redirect $100M in Gaza aid to Iron Dome
By David Spector

Ten Republican senators are set to introduce legislation that would divert the $100 million US aid package for Gaza toward replenishing Israel's Iron Dome, Haaretz reports.

This comes after Sen. Rick Scott's (R-Fla.) "Stop Taxpayer Funding of Hamas Act," which sought to block the Biden administration from delivering the aid until it certified with congressional committees that the funds would not go to Hamas, was blocked by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

The Biden administration has promised that the funds would be delivered to "trusted partners" in UN agencies and NGOs.

Hostages and civilian casualties will be secondary to destroying Hamas, Israel's Economy Minister told ABC News, "even if it takes a year."

European Intelligence Officials have stated that they so far have only seen Evidence which suggests that 10-50 Palestinians were Killed by the Explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Northern Gaza not the 500-800 which was being claimed by Palestinian Authorities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, "the Western world stood with you 80 years ago during your darkest hour, this is our darkest hour," during a press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Netanyahu should stop with the holocaust comparisons.  This wouldn't have happened "if Mossad, Shin Bet, Aman and his administration had been worth their weight in olive pits".

Bullshit.  Your prejudice is showing, once again.

What a shock... They lie nonstop and the western media laps it up and spreads it around the world... I don't know how things could get more insane, but we'll likely find out soon enough...

Bullshit.  Your prejudice is showing, once again.

Mossad, Shin Bet, Aman all missed the Oct 7 attacks @Kamaji  ---- .  This is not the holocaust.  Oct 7 was a f"*k-up.

Netanyahu should show more respect for the memory of six million murdered Jews who didn't have a Mossad, Shin Bet or Aman to count on.

Israeli military says Hamas is now holding 203 hostages

[mystery-ak]

State Department spokesman says 32 Americans killed in Israel-Hamas war, 11 unaccounted for

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Thursday that 32 Americans have been confirmed killed in the Israel-Hamas war.

Another 11 Americans are unaccounted for, Miller told reporters at a news conference.

"With respect to our work to secure the release of hostages, that work is ongoing," he added.

At least 4,800 people have been killed in the war on both sides, including at least 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers since Hamas launched a surprise attack on October 7. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry claims at least 3,478 Palestinians have been killed and more than 10,950 wounded.

President Biden on Wednesday said that freeing Hamas hostages is his administration's top priority.

There's no higher priority than the release and safe return of all these hostages," Biden said in Israel. The president also pledged to ask Congress for an "unprecedented" support package for Israel's defense and said he would ask lawmakers for $100 million in humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians in Gaza facing bombardment by Israeli forces.

WTH...why?...another Governor wanting a photo-op

Gavin Newsom Makes Surprise Trip to Israel

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is making a surprise trip to Israel to show solidarity with the Jewish state as it battles Hamas terrorists following a massive Oct. 7 attack that killed over 1,400 people, wounded well over 4,000, and saw over 200 kidnapped.

‘Paralysis’: U.N. Security Council Again Fails to Condemn Hamas Slaughter

The United Nations Security Council once again failed to address the October 7 mass murder of civilians in Israel by the terrorist organization Hamas.

California is also sending some medical supplies to the region

There were Californians who were affected by the attack, both as victims and survivors.

Newsom’s visit will cause him trouble with his left-wing base, which has come out in favor of the Palestinians, with hardly a word of criticism for the Hamas terrorists. On Wednesday, for example, left-wing students in San Francisco staged a walkout in solidarity with Palestinians (and against Israel).

But the visit will boost his national profile, as the vast majority of Americans support Israel in the conflict.

State Department Official Resigns Over Arms Transfers to Israel
NY Times, Oct 19, 2023

State Department official in the bureau that oversees arms transfers resigned this week in protest of the Biden administration’s decision to continue sending weapons and ammunition to Israel as it lays siege to Gaza in its war with Hamas.

In his resignation letter, Josh Paul, who has been the director of congressional and public affairs for the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs for over 11 years, said the Biden administration’s “blind support for one side” was leading to policy decisions that were “shortsighted, destructive, unjust and contradictory to the very values we publicly espouse.”

“The response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response and for the status quo of the occupation, will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people,” he wrote, adding, “I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer.”

In an interview, Mr. Paul said that Israel’s cutting off of water, food, medical care and electricity to Gaza, a territory of two million people, should prompt protections in a number of longstanding federal laws intended to keep American weapons out of the hands of human rights violators. But those legal guardrails are failing, he said.

Scoop: U.S. to send Israel artillery shells initially designated for Ukraine
Oct 19, 2023

The Pentagon plans to send Israel tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells that had been designated for Ukraine from U.S. emergency stocks several months ago, three Israeli officials with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.

Why it matters: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli ministry of defense told their U.S. counterparts they urgently need artillery shells to prepare for a ground invasion in Gaza — and a potential escalation of the war by Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border, Israeli officials say.

U.S. officials have suggested that diverting the shells from Ukraine to Israel would have no immediate impact on Ukraine's ability to fight against Russian troops.

But it's unclear whether U.S. military supplies to Ukraine could be stretched if the Israel-Hamas war becomes a broader regional conflict.

Isn't his ego alone enough?  Just his mere presence, and Hamas will be on the ground like quivering newborns, no?

Doubtful.  However @corbe I am still convinced that none of this would have happened on Trump's watch.  He stood in the way preventing the chaos in the world and the globalist takingover (including the US) to implement the Great Reset.

In Biden's defense, he probably at this point really believes this story

He’s probably convinced his declining mind that he was at Christ’s crucifixion

Maybe he was...holding the spear.
