Israel’s Rafah invasion shows Biden admin stance isn’t ‘clear’

. . .

No ... the US position is NOT RESPECTED anymore.

Israel HAS begun ops in/near Rafah now. Today they
closed off the border crossing with Egypt - seems
Hamas was STILL getting mil supplies and such
through that route. So much for our "friends" in
Egypt keeping an eye on things ...

There have also been some strikes IN Rafah, though
they do seem a little more specific than what Israel
did in the rest of Gaza - so far.

Yesterday, Israel dropped leaflets warning the
refugees in Rafah as to where they shouldn't
be. This immediately caused Hamas to at least
say it'd agree with the Cease-Fire-Agreement
version 99.9 ... but this time Israel did not
bother to respond. Time was UP ... Hamas
should have gone with 99.8 but that's come
and gone.

The USA is kind of obligated to weep for "civilian"
casualties ... though the "civilians" have been so
complicit with Hamas for so long the term barely
applies. The truth Israel, maybe even Joe, realize
is that Hamas HAS to be physically broken apart
and destroyed. They are fanatics and nothing less
will get it done.

Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu has no physical capacity to do that--not
without slaughtering everyone in Gaza.

Every time you kill an innocent civilian, you create 10 potential new
Hamas recruits. And contrary to its protestations, Israel has been far
from careful about sparing innocent civilians so far.

The only way out is a negotiated peace. But Butcher Bibi, in his desperate
efforts to stay in power at any cost, has rendered himself hostage to
extremist Zionist elements who would never settle for such a thing.

Israel needs to undergo regime change. But how to arrange such a thing?
The USA could, if it wanted to.

It’s clear. Israel said they’ll go into Rafah, US sent more weapons. What’s
not clear about that?

There we go:

“House Republicans, With Democrat Support, Pass Bill to Force Biden to Send
Israel Bombs”

<https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64454>

Everything Biden says right now is just because he realizes that sending
weapons to Israel is very unpopular with his own voters. In the end, US
still sends bombs. It’s the same with Trump’s promises to build the wall
and deport illegals. In the end, wall didn’t materialise and illegals were
still here. Weird how it just keeps happening.
