The Biden administration persistently refrains from addressing the reason for Israel’s war on Hamas, the goal of which is to obliterate the state of Israel, and the massacre of its citizens on October 7. This video gives insight into what Israel has suffered: see HERE. Warning: it’s disturbing. Blinken also neglects to mention Hamas’ use of human shields as he constantly draws attention to the collateral damage of war on Hamas.

The Biden administration participating in the gang-up against Israel at the worst possible time. Israel’s response to the horror of October 7 has now been twisted to make Israel appear to be the abuser and the Palestinians as the victims. As a result, ISIS-like Hamas is virtually off the hook. Blinken did not “appear to set down red lines that would trigger US actions.” But when might he do so? World War II, which was the “deadliest and most destructive war in human history, claimed between 40 and 50 million lives, displaced tens of millions of people, and cost more than $1 trillion to prosecute.” What would Blinken say about the civilian lives in that just war?

This escalating level of propaganda against Israel, whose citizens were victimized in the most sickening way, is a mystery revealed for those who couldn’t understand antisemitism and the warped mindset that led to the Holocaust.

Blinken said to warn war cabinet Israel may not have months to topple Hamas,” by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel, December 1, 2023:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Israel’s war cabinet on Thursday that it likely doesn’t have months to wage war against Hamas in Gaza, as domestic and international pressure mounts on US President Joe Biden’s administration to draw an end to the fighting, an Israeli official said.

The warning was one of several issued by the top US diplomat during his meeting with the war cabinet and in separate sit-downs with top officials. At a press conference, he also publicly cautioned Israel at considerable length against allowing the same scale of death and displacement in southern Gaza once fighting shifts there from northern Gaza….

During his press conference Thursday night recapping his meetings in Israel, the secretary said he told Israel’s leaders that they would need to change the way they are fighting.

“I underscored the imperative — for the United States — that the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale that we saw in northern Gaza, not be repeated in the South,” Blinken said.

Blinken said he told Israeli leaders that the IDF must prepare for how it will keep civilians safe before resuming its military campaign, including setting up safe zones.

“I made clear that before Israel resumes major military operations, it must put in place humanitarian, civilian protection plans that minimize further casualties of innocent Palestinians,” he said. “That means taking more effective steps to protect the lives of civilians, including by clearly and precisely designating areas and places in southern and central Gaza where they can be safe and out of the line of fire.”

He also said Israel must avoid further mass displacement of Palestinians; avoid the targeting of “life-critical infrastructure like hospitals, like power stations, like water facilities”; and allow the eventual return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza. “There must be no enduring internal displacement,” he said….
