The Biden regime wants Israel to scale back the war not because it cares about the wellbeing of Israelis — far from it. It isn’t even doing it because it cares about the “Palestinians.” The only thing that the Biden regime cares about is that its far-left base is in revolt over its support for Israel. And that means Israel has to go under the bus.
“U.S. to Push Israel to Scale Back War,” New York Times, December 17, 2023 (scroll down):
Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III was traveling on Sunday in the Middle East for a visit to Israel and three Persian Gulf nations as Biden administration officials push Israel to end its large-scale ground and air campaign in the Gaza Strip within weeks and transition to a more focused phase in its war against Hamas.
Mr. Austin will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, to discuss in detail when and how Israeli forces will carry out a new phase that American officials envision would involve smaller groups of elite forces, U.S. officials said. Those forces would move in and out of population centers in Gaza, conducting more precise, intelligence-driven missions to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages and destroy tunnels, according to the U.S. officials.

When you have a malicious, incompetent, mendacious clown in the White House (Biden here but the same could be applied to Obama), then expect nothing from their “staff.”
Israel needs to do what it has to do. Right now, and this is so telling, Israel and not America is in the forefront of defending the best that mankind has to offer.
FJB and his surrogates like Austin. My God, it’s come to this.

“Right now, and this is so telling, Israel and not America is in the forefront of defending the best that mankind has to offer.”
Yes.
It certainly wasn’t true under Trump, but is true under Biden.
What a difference a fraudulent regime can make…
Wellington says
Thank you, James. And I would, for the record, emphasize your word, “fraudulent.”
Bad enough if Biden’s bogus and massively inept Presidency was not fraudulent but it’s been made far worse precisely because it was fraudulent—in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, in Arizona, in Wisconsin, et al.
And I for one am so tired of all those, and there are still way too many out there, who continue to assert that the 2020 Presidential election in the USA was above board. All such people are deficient people, ignoramuses or liars. I don’t doubt that many of these are sincere and good people (though many aren’t) in their day-to-day life, but so what because aligning with massive error and fraud is still a major wrong, rather like so-called moderate Muslims who continue to shill for Islam.
Oh yeah, stupid sincerity is a major boon to iniquity. Always has been, always will be.
James Lincoln says
Again, in total agreement, Wellington.
Very best wishes.
Westman says
There may be an additional reason why Sec. Austin wants the Israeli-Hamas War toned down. The US is not prepared for ground war on one front, or two. We could end up like Ukraine whose average conscription age is 43 – not because we don’t have young people, rather, we have young people with bad attitude and bad health who likely won’t and can’t fight:

As someone already pointed out for those who don’t know, that would put the IDF guys at greater risk, and result in more of them being killed. Just as some were when they recently went in to rescue some of the hostages.
i.elmi, alias i omar said, wrongly, “It’s all about the Benjamins.” With biden, that’s exactly what it’s all about, Alfie. biden wants to be re-selected by those who selected him to be cheated in. He wants to be cheated in for a second time.
He can then do more dealing and stealing because he’ll be the ‘brand’ with the power.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
“Re-selected”.
Acknowledging that Biden was selected rather than elected is factual and evidence-based.
My compliments.
somehistory says
Thank you, James.

Given that poll that shows an overwhelming majority of Gen Z Americans hating Israel, Israel should stop pretending that the US, w/ its present regime, is an ally, and act accordingly. Like I said before, it should also do what the Russians have done, and declare that it won’t deal w/ the US until January 20th 2025, when President Trump is back in office
James Lincoln says
Yes, Infidel.
That’s presuming that the US Presidential election is not stolen a second time.
ed says
Stop the Biden’s meddling in something he knows nothing about which is pretty much everything
And remove him from office
ed says
Remember what Reagan said after he was told the Israelis bombed the reactor?
“They did what”?
“Boys will be Boys”.
