How Israel Is Playing Down Its Defeat By The US Regime

War
#1

This is how the Jewish News Syndicate (among other Israeli news publishers) chooses to treat Netanyahu’s capitulation to the evil, antisemitic, anti-Israel, US administration which has stabbed Israel in the back: as a minor news item, resulting from the demands of a carping Netanyahu rival. The terrible betrayal of the country, of the nation, of the sane world, is to be “included” among the “topics on the agenda”. But it is plainly the only topic on the agenda. An apparent second topic, which is in reality part of the same - whether what has been accomplished by the Israeli army in Gaza will or will not be undone - is treated as an equally semi-important subject for discussion.

Note the euphemistic language of the second paragraph. Clearly Netanyahu gave in to the Biden demands without insisting on any quid pro quo whatsoever; with no mention of the Israeli hostages; with no understanding that the war against Hamas would be resumed after a “six-week pause” - which is Hamas’s demand gladly granted by the Biden regime to the terrorists.

Quote:
Israel’s Diplomatic-Security Cabinet is convening on Tuesday [April 9, 2024] at the demand of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, with the topics on the agenda to include the ongoing truce talks and the state of the war in Gaza. The minister was set to put two proposals on the table during the meeting.

The first involves securing an American commitment to back Israel’s return to combat after a six-week pause in the fighting, and in particular a ground operation in Rafah in southern Gaza, as a condition for completing a deal [re the release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2O23].

The second aims to ensure that, as part of the Israeli concessions being discussed in Cairo, there will be no free movement of residents of the Strip from south to north, which would allow Hamas to reorganize and maintain its force.

On Monday, right-wing ministers lashed out over the Israel Defense Forces’ withdrawal the previous day from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, saying the move harms the war effort. Smotrich called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately convene the Security Cabinet, which he argued had been sidelined.

“The only forum authorized to make significant decisions is the full [Security] Cabinet, but unfortunately this is not how things are happening, and we are seeing decisions being made in the smaller [War] Cabinet without approval…[and] under international pressure that is harming the war’s momentum and our interests,” he said.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir echoed the sentiment, tweeting: “If the prime minister decides to end the war without a large-scale offensive in Rafah to defeat Hamas, he will not have a mandate to continue serving.”

The IDF announced on Sunday that it had withdrawn almost all ground forces from southern Gaza, with only one brigade left in the northern and central Strip.

Comment:
The fall of Netanyahu will be the least of the consequences.

Recently, Jill Biden demanded behind the scenes that her husband “stop it, stop it now” regarding Israel’s war on Hamas. A day later, the president was on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu telling him he must agree to a ceasefire. Biden getting “instructions from his wife” is probably the least surprising development of his presidency.

Who rules Israel?

Quote:
Days after the White House warned Israel to change course on its policy in Gaza or face consequences from the United States, senior Biden administration officials reiterated that the threat still stands — and that early steps Israel has taken to remedy the humanitarian crisis are not enough to quell U.S. dissatisfaction.

“We’ve seen them take initial steps here over the past few days, but we want to see much more,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said at a press briefing on Monday. “We are going to be watching them over the coming days, the coming weeks, to see that the steps they have announced actually lead to improved results, and we will make assessments and make determinations of our policy based on those results.”

Responding to the White House threat, which President Joe Biden relayed to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in a call last Thursday, Israel announced several changes. Over the weekend, Israel agreed to open the northern Erez crossing into Gaza and the Ashdod port to facilitate delivery of humanitarian aid, and to allow additional aid to enter through Jordan. On Sunday, more than 300 aid trucks entered Gaza — the most of any single day since the war started — and on Monday, more than 400 trucks entered Gaza.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby called the 300 aid trucks that entered Gaza a “good start” but told reporters on Monday that “what matters is how it can be sustained over time".

U.S. military assistance to Israel faces growing opposition from congressional Democrats, with some seeking conditions on weapons transfers and others demanding the U.S. cease further assistance altogether. TheWhite House has not publicly [but privately to Netanyahu for sure) expressed support for either cutting or conditioning aid to Israel. [And] the Biden administration has not said what policy changes the U.S. is considering toward Israel if it does not meet Washington’s demands on Gaza, nor has it offered a realistic metric for when it will be satisfied with Israel’s conduct.

“I don’t want to stand here today and say that everything has been solved, because we’re not ready to say that,” said [Matthew] Miller. “We have seen good initial steps, but we want to see how they’re actually implemented to make sure that there is no Palestinian in Gaza who is going hungry, and until we get to that point, we’re not going to be satisfied.”

Comment:
You see, according to the US “Democrats”, it is Israel’s job to feed the Gazans, although the Gazans torture, rape and murder Israelis - even burn them alive, including little children and babies. After all, didn’t America feed the Germans, Italians and Japanese while they fought them in the Second World War?

Why does the Biden administration threaten Israel, try to stop it defending itself?

Why doesn’t the Biden administration threaten Hamas and its facilitator Iran?

Could it be because the Biden administration wants the extinction of Israel?

If not that, what?

Netanyahu let the October 7 invasion happen by ignoring warnings.
He acted too slowly because he feared American withdrawal of support more than Hamas survival.
He caved to Biden’s threats and handed a victory to Hamas, Iran, and the international Left.

Quote:
It’s too late.
According to the first phase of the deal on which the negotiations are taking place,Hamas is supposed to release 40 hostages alive, including women, soldiers, men over 50 and men under 50 who are in a serious medical condition.

Israel made it clear that if Hamas agreed to commit to this point, Israel would agree to far-reaching compromises on the issue of the return of Palestinian residents to the northern Gaza Strip, but Hamas says that after six months of hellish captivity, 40 such hostages are no longer alive.

A quicker war would have meant higher casualties but better odds of rescuing the hostages.

Trying to please the Biden administration, the Israeli government [read Prime Minister Natanyahu] took a go-slow approach to weeding Hamas out of Gaza.

If the object was to rescue the hostages, Netanyahu clearly failed. Worse, six months gave the Left more than enough time to rally the expected propaganda offensive against Israel. It worked so brilliantly that even Presidentish Joe Biden is now openly siding with Hamas, making demand after demand on Israel — even threatening to cut off American supplies of weapons and ammo — but never on Hamas.

As a result, Israel is now in a worse position than it was the day before Hamas committed its terrible terror invasion on Oct. 7. The country is more isolated than perhaps ever before, the hostages are dead, Hamas remains, and the antisemitic Left (and a few losers on the Right) have sharp new tools to use against Israel.

If they’re bold enough to chant “Death to America!” without repercussion in America’s Midwest, just as they have always done in the Mideast, then Israel must now think and act as though America’s support were always in question. Because thanks to Biden, it is.

The only thing left to do is for Netanyahu to order the full fury of the IDF into Rafah and finish off whatever is left of Hamas in Gaza. Israel has nothing left to lose.

I can’t blame Netanyahu - he’s in an impossible position of wanting to destroy Hamas, but at the same time having to appease Biden or risk losing U.S. support. If only Israel weren’t dependent on the U.S., I’m sure Hamas would already be history.

                                Moshe Tamam

“Palestinian” terrorist Walid Daqqa and his gang kidnapped the 19-year-old soldier Moshe Tamam, held him hostage for two days, then gouged out his eyes, castrated him, mutilated his body, and finally shot him in the chest and dumped his body.

Walid Daqqa was consequently imprisoned for 32 years. He has recently died.

Amnesty International demand that his body be handed over to his wife. If Amnesty International had a heart, it would be bleeding - for Walid Daqqa.

The Palestinians have been terrorists from the beginning, as this murder shows, and the leftist media has been their PR.
Nothing is any different now, except that both the media and the government are even more openly supportive of the terrorists.
The left was behind the Antifa and BLM riots before the election in '20, staged as part of their strategy to get rid of Trump and install themselves, and they are behind these Palestinian riots, too, staged to get rid of Netanyahu and destroy Israel.
