Why is Biden pushing for Israel’s defeat and lying about its tactics?
NY Post
President Biden’s new demand that Israel ease up in its war on Hamas is a perilous and nonsensical cave to the growing anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party.
Nonsensical, because it endorses the utterly false notion that Israel’s being callous about the lives of ordinary Gazans.
Perilous, because the pressure to switch now to a “lower intensity” phase (as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan put it last week) in fact is a push to give up on destroying Hamas and allow it to regroup and gather strength.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in his trip to Jerusalem this week, made it sound better: Israel “has every right to defend itself” but “protecting Palestinian civilians in Gaza is both a moral duty and a strategic imperative.”
Hel-lo: Israel has been doing just that since the counterattack to Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities began.
The IDF warns Gazans of the areas it will be hitting, and provides ample evacuation time — even as Hamas does its level best to make sure that civilians stay in place, the better to maximize casualties.
