Biden Warned Netanyahu Not to Hit Hamas Too Hard
"We support Israel taking necessary and proportionate action"

There’s been a pattern to these conflicts. Hamas launches an attack on Israel. The White House announces that it has Israel’s back. Israel carries out some air strikes. People die in the air strikes. Hamas claims that there were a lot of civilian deaths. Local Arab Muslim countries offer to negotiate a ceasefire. The White House pressures Israel to accept and demands a timetable for the end of the fighting.

Considering the sheer horror and scale of the Hamas attack, the seeming unity, will this play out any differently?

As I mentioned earlier, Biden’s speech had some good moral outrage in it. But moral outrage is rhetoric. What about policy? Unlike outrage, policy is about specifics. And while people rightly zeroed in on Biden’s condemnation of Hamas atrocities, there’s an entire section that strikes a very different and very familiar note.

What is "proportionate action"?  Killing about the same number of people?

Because to me, that pretty much hands victory to whichever side values the lives of its people the least.

This proportionate response crap needs to be cast aside here.

Response should always be disproportionate else it isn't much of a deterrent.  Someone shoves you, you take out their knee.

Would you take military or strategic advice from Joe Biden?

Really?

The Khan of Kabul is giving free military advice?

It's worth every dime you paid for it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Biden warned? Please the he's so mentally challenged he can hardly get a sentence out let alone be coherent in a phone call. No doubt it was one of his cabinet incompetents following orders given by Obama who told that to Netanyahu and I hope Netanyahu told him to GFO!

That is precisely what Israel should not do. Proper proportion is what the US did to Japan after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor (except for the atomic bombs, given the location of the Gaza Strip).

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

And that's why I predict before this is over, that 2nd U.S. Carrier Roosevelt is going to be threatening Israel.

We'll never know about it in "real time".

Ever wondered why the Old Testament had Jewish warriors kill every man/woman/child/animal ? Because if they didn't it just came back to kick them in the butt later.

@Sighlass

No American POTUS would give Israel their blessing to do such a thing in Gaza.

In fact, we can expect the typical photos of innocent, helpless, beautiful children blown apart by Israeli arms...and THAT will be all over the internet/TV...in about a week.

Anybody surprised?  Biden wants kids gloves for Hamas, in response to Hamas inhumanity to unarmed men, women and children.  Biden wants to aid and abet radical Islam without paying the political price for it or his party.  Haven't they given support to radical Islam at terrible costs to Americas economy already?

You're getting a better view as to who Biden and the democrat p[arty really are!
