Biden Tells Netanyahu to Throw in the Towel, and Its Shockingly Revealing
Bonchie


President Joe Biden recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the exchange was incredibly revealing.

While it didn't reveal anything about Israel's resolve to take out Hamas, the terrorist government of Gaza that massacred over a thousand people on October 7th, breaking a long-running ceasefire, what it did do is show where Biden's motivations truly lie. In short, it's not pretty or reassuring.

    President Biden last week pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale down the Israeli military operation in Gaza, stressing he is not in it for a year of war, two U.S. officials told Axios.

    Why it matters: Biden's comments during the two leaders' call last Friday reflect the growing U.S. concern about the continuation of the war and the president's desire to see it end long before the November elections.

    A Biden adviser told Axios the White House is very concerned about losing young voters, many of whom are opposed to the president's policy on the Gaza war.

That is a shocking admittance of what is actually driving American foreign policy under the current administration. It's not a desire to do what is right in support of allies. It's not even a desire to execute a long-term security strategy that benefits the United States, of which the elimination of Hamas as a destablizing force in the Middle East clearly would. Rather, every position that is being taken is being taken for political reasons.

 UNRWA fires 12 staffers who allegedly took part in October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, US cuts funding

The United Nations organization for Palestinian refugees has fired a dozen staffers over claims they took part in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, the agency said Friday.

Israeli authorities handed over the information alleging that 12 United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees were involved in the murderous rampage in southern Israel, the agency’s Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, said.

“To protect the agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay.”

The US immediately cut funding to the agency in the wake of the allegations surfacing, the State Department said – marking a significant reversal from the Biden administration’s strong support for UNRWA.

“The United States is extremely troubled by the allegations that 12 UNRWA employees may have been involved in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel,” the department’s statement said.

The UN fired them for getting caught! Not for what they did. If the UN fired UNRWA employees for anti-Semitic crap they do, UNRA wouldn't even have janitors to do the final trash-can-emptying before closing the vacated facilities.

Hamas Releases Propaganda Video of 3 Female Israeli Hostages

Joel B. Pollak26 Jan 2024
2:39

The Palestinian terror group Hamas released a new propaganda video on Friday showing three female Israeli hostages, each saying that their lives were in danger from the Israeli military — not from Hamas — and urging Israel’s leaders to stop the war.

Two Israeli soldiers — 19-year-old Karina Ariev and 19-year-old Daniella Gilboa — and 30-year-old civilian Doron Steinbrecher from Kibbutz Kfar Aza are shown in the video repeating similar messages, almost word-for-word, and sometimes in unison.

The three women claim, evidently under duress, that Israeli bombs and tank shells are endangering their lives, and that they must be brought home before it is too late. The video adds sound effects of bombing, and an image of the three women in an hourglass.

Hamas appears to have misread the Israeli public: though the video correctly refers to protests in the street in favor of a hostage deal, the scriptwriters also had the hostages accuse the Israeli military of murdering them — something no Israeli would likely say.

The hostage video was released as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declined to call for a ceasefire, and as talks on a hostage deal — including the U.S. CIA, Qatar, and Egypt — stalled. Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire; Israel wants to destroy Hamas.

Some 20 women are among the 130 or so remaining hostages in Gaza. Hamas refused to release them, saying that even those who were not soldiers were once in the Israeli military. Hamas has also refused to allow Red Cross visits, in violation of international law, and broke a deal this week to prove that medicines sent from Israel via Qatar had actually been delivered to the hostages.

There are reports that the female hostages are being raped by Hamas terrorists and otherwise sexually assaulted and degraded.

1.) So, the United Nations is complicit in the October 7th genocidal mass murders?
2.) Those hostages could already be dead and the videos could have be previously recorded while they were still alive.
3.) Hamas is hiding behind women because the Israeli's have Hamas' balls to the walls.

Israel could re-brand its Gaza action as "Urban Renewal".

UNRWA fires 12 staffers who allegedly took part in October 7

Only 12?

[PeteS in CA]

Only 12?

Yes, because so far Israel has "only" produced video evidence for those 12 UNRWA employees. IOW, UNRWA had no plausible deniability and was backed into a corner with proof the 12 were guilty. More probably committed atrocities, but the UN isn't interested enough to investigate.

Biden Administration Weighs Slowing Israel Arms Sales to Push Netanyahu for Scaled-Back Gaza War: Report

The White House has reportedly directed the Pentagon to determine which of Israel's weapons requests could be used as leverage

The Biden administration is considering slowing down or pausing weaponry sales to Israel in an attempt to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into scaling back the assault on Hamas in Gaza, according to a report.

The White House has directed the Pentagon to determine which of Israel's weapons requests could be used as leverage, NBC News reported Sunday, citing four current or former U.S. officials familiar with the discussions.

The proposed tactic reportedly comes after President Biden and members of his administration have repeatedly ask Israel to scale back its assault and reduce civilian casualties in Gaza, only to see the requests go largely unheeded.

US Sees Progress on Deal to Release Gaza Hostages, Bring Temporary Cease-Fire to Israel-Hamas War
While the proposal would not end the war, US officials are hopeful that it could lay the groundwork for a durable resolution
Published 01/28/24 06:35 AM ET|Updated 10 min ago
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. negotiators are making progress on a potential agreement under which Israel would pause military operations against Hamas in Gaza for two months in exchange for the release of more than 100 hostages who were captured in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, according to two senior administration officials.

The officials, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said Saturday that emerging terms of the yet-to-be sealed deal would play out over two phases.

In the first phase, fighting would stop to allow for the remaining women, elderly and wounded hostages to be released by Hamas.

The more precise the weapons, the fewer 'civilians' will be collateral damage in relation to the number of Hamas operatives. While that ratio is no doubt blurred by the number of Hamas operatives dressed as or presented as civilian deaths, that precision is a limiting factor.

To deny the Israelis the most surgical means of elimination an existential threat only means the threat will be eliminated by less precise methods: the threat still must be eliminated.

For all ts posturing, limiting more precise munitions supplies to the Israelis will only force them to use less precise methods, which would not achieve the stated desired result of reducing 'civilian' casualties, but the exact opposite of the stated goal.

So long as they are in the crosshairs, Hamas will not release all the living hostages they have. Giving Hamas time to regroup and rearm is folly. Get the job done.

"...and reduce civilian casualties in Gaza" "Facts not in evidence."  No evidence produced to support this demented claim. So kindly EFF off! Israel needs to eradicate those vermin once and for all. So give them all the weaponry required to do so.

Hamas Rejects Hostage Deal: No Agreement Without End to War

The Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization reportedly rejected an Israeli offer Monday for a deal to free the remaining 132 or so hostages still in captivity in Gaza because the proposed agreement did not include a permanent end to Israel’s counteroffensive.

Israel needs to end Hamas, not the war.  That includes the logistics and financial networks that supply Hamas with weapons and tunnel-building equipment.

In the meantime, the Israelis can burn tires, garbage, and debris in the entrances of these tunnels to smoke out more underground Hamas fighters.
