“Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages”
This is coming from Barak Ravid at Axios who has spent the entire war pushing White House talking points so I have little confidence that there is any turnaround at the Biden-Harris administration even after the Hamas murder of six hostages. Nor do I have the faintest idea why anyone is shocked that an Islamic terrorist organization that launched this war with the mass murder and rape of civilians would kill hostages if they thought that they were going to lose them. How did they think Hamas got those hostages at all?
But since one of them was an American and his parents showed up at the DNC, perhaps there was a brief spark of human contact there.
One of the main questions raised during a meeting President Biden and Vice President Harris had with their national security team on Monday was whether there is a hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal Hamas would ever agree to, U.S. officials said.
Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages, among them U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and have started to rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal.
Somehow this only came up after more than half a year after Biden crumbled to the ‘ceasefire’ calls and spent all of his time demanding that Israel ‘end the war’ while pinning all his hopes on Qatar’s fake negotiations.
Despite all the media propaganda, there hasn’t been a deal on the table that would free all the hostages and any such deal would only be a prelude to Hamas launching another attack and taking more hostages.
Is anyone at the White House figuring this out yet?
A concern raised in the situation room meeting was that the U.S. could press Israel to reduce Israel Defense Forces deployed along the Egypt-Gaza border or on other issues, only to discover that Hamas doesn’t agree to other parts of the deal. That could mean the new offer would only become the foundation for future negotiations that would be more favorable to Hamas, a U.S. official said.
Islamic terrorists negotiate by making maximal demands, and then topping them, circling back and forth, wrecking any normal negotiating process, and then arranging to place blame on the other party. Then they demand to restart the negotiations all over again from the point of the last concession.
They’ve been doing this to Israel for over 30 years now. But they do it to all of us.
Hamas is doing exactly what the PLO did. And it worked out really well for Arafat and Abbas. But the only reason it kept working was the pressure from D.C.
When Trump became the first president to end the peace pressure campaigns, the farce ended until Biden restarted it.
I’m skeptical that Biden internalized any of it. Instead he left blaming Netanyahu rather than Hamas.

bo, biden, and the gang all blame Israel for no deal and all the murders going on.. It’s the plan. Propaganda comes out, pretending something different, but it’s all about giving the upper hand to the terrorists.
Drag it out long enough, all hostages are dead and Israel runs out of firepower to eliminate hamas, keep hezbollah, houthis, the iraqis, jordan, syria and iran from destroying every Jew.

What too many people fail to realize is the Islamic radicals all throughout our government agencies, including the State Department, Homeland Security, USCIS (Immigration) and everywhere else. These Islamic radicals have embedded themselves in everything, not just political positions, all thanks to Biden.

Trump is saying he will remove all the criminals and foreigners in our government.
It’s really our only hope.
At least these people are making it easy to find, charge, convict and remove them. Most, if not all of the foreigners should be summarily DEPORTED.
America FIRST, now and forever.

Yes, that is what it has come down to…

All you really have to do these days is look at the author. Communists and Islamists don’t even hide it anymore.
BTW, when did EVERY reporter on the Middle-east in America become some Muslim immigrant?
This is who we get our news from?

Damn good question, libertyORdeath. Since 9/11, more and more the byline on Jihad stories is some Muslim, often partnering with a dhimmi Infidel. The latter writes the stories, I imagine, and the former vets them against the slightest hint of “Islamophobia”.

It’s usually easy to tell which one writes it by the wording Most mozlums are deficient in the English language. Even the ones born here, or residents from an early age..
ilhan elmi is a prime example of pathetic English. Yet she came as a young person and attended school, even into university.

I recall that when Ahn San Su Kyi was in power in Burma, the BBC sent someone to interview her – a Bangladeshi muslim, to boot! Which the Burmese weren’t too thrilled about. Really, the BBC couldn’t find a White journalist who could ask probing questions w/o seeming to endorse the jihad against Burma?

Somebody Told Biden That Pressuring Israel Just Aids Hamas
………………………………………
The only question is whether Biden is good with that…
Ralph says
I wonder that neither Biden think by himself nor his advisers could tell him this obvious evidence unless for him to run for a new mandate is more important than Israels security knowing that if Israel is in danger the situation of the whole region will escalate.

Trump is our only next hope. If the Dems win the election, then WE become the LAST hope. Fight or bow.
