Israel has been stopped many times in the past from defending itself adequately. That’s one reason why it still faces such a severe jihad. And it could happen again.
“Israel focused on taking down ‘terrorist infrastructure of Hamas,’ says Israeli diplomat,” by Elissa Salamy, SBG, May 17, 2021:
WASHINGTON (SBG) – Sunday marked the deadliest day in the violence between Israel and Palestine over the last week after Israel bombed the house of Hamas’ Gaza leader as Hamas launched more than 100 rockets toward Israel. The death toll after the latest casualties is now 197 in Gaza, and 10 Israelis killed by rockets fired from Gaza.
“Millions of Israelis are under threat of rockets from Hamas,” said Elad Strohmayer, spokesperson for the Embassy of Israel. “More than 500 Israelis were injured, more than 3,200 rockets were fired indiscriminately by Hamas.”
Israel’s airstrikes have leveled a number of Gaza’s buildings, including the building housing the Associated Press office in Gaza, which Israel says contained Hamas military infrastructure.
“We’re determined to take down the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas, to make sure that peace is restored and calm is restored and safety is restored for the Israeli people,” said Strohmayer to The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat. “And by the way, not just for the Israeli people, but the people of Gaza.”
Strohmayer says the people of Gaza are “hostages of Hamas.”
“Hamas is firing at the Israelis, and they do that from within the civilian population in Gaza,” said Strohmayer.
Some Republican lawmakers in Washington are saying that the Biden administration needs to be more aggressive.
“I think we need to do everything possible to bring about a ceasefire,” said Rep. Adam Schiff on Sunday. “I think the administration needs to push harder on Israel and the Palestinian Authority to stop the violence, bring about a ceasefire, end these hostilities, and get back to a process of trying to resolve this long-standing conflict.”
Strohmayer says they are “very grateful” for the Biden administration.
“Everybody’s saying, emphasizing the unwavering right of Israel to defend itself,” said Strohmayer. “This is exactly the message that we get from this administration, so we’re very grateful for their support.”…

We think Israelis should go in and end it, to stop the continuous harassment they receive.
maria says
Yes and Schiff should go to prison because he wants Israel´s destruction
william says
maria. I believe Schiff is Jew. If I am correct. He is a RINO and a JINO at the same time.
silvergreycat says
Wylliam,
Congressman Schiff is a Democrat…

William,
My apologies for misspelling your name.
mortimer says
Ubersturmbannfuhrer Schifty Schiff has a plan … indeed, he has a ‘FINAL SOLUTION’ for dealing with the JUDEN in Israel by craftily using the PALLIES as his surrogates.
VERY CRAFTY … Herr Schiff !
(sarc/off)
mortimer says
To be fair to Adam Schiff, in this case, while he is a supporter of Israel, but he is not supporting it enough against the vehement anti-Semites in his party.
Schiff had a moral failure when he did not demand censure for the anti-Semitic slanders of Ilhan Omar.
By not voting to censure Ilhan Omar, it meant she was free to do it again.
Israel cannot be supported by such weak, half-hearted measures.
mortimer says
Adam Schiff is Jewish and a supporter of Israel, but his party is wrong about supporting Hamas … an out-and-out FASCIST organization.
Once HAMAS is outed as a TRULY FASCIST organization, I do not see how the Dems can ethically support them. They are in pursuit of the Muslim vote.
HAMAS Is holding the people of Gaza as hostages just as the Nazis held the German people as hostages and didn’t allow them to vote for their own representatives after the Reichstag fire.
The Dems have also turned into a crypto-Fascist party.
GFF says
Discrimination – such an interesting word. Used and abused, abusers so rarely ‘called out’.
Indiscriminate rockets, exploding who knows where: schools, hospitals & ‘civilian’ areas, who cares?
Who calls them out? The news organs sure won’t.
It’s well done JW and contributors, long may it continue that you discriminate between good and evil.
Infidel says
Schitt made a career out of the Russian collusion delusion, accusing everyone up to Tucker Carlson of being a Russian agent, so it’s now time to turn the tables on him, and call him a shill for either Hamas or Turkey. And go after him for treason
gravenimage says
He’s unhinged regarding President Trump, as well.
mortimer says
Schifty Schiff should not be forgive for attacking the most PRO-ISRAEL PRESIDENT ever.
Schifty Schiff should apologize for his hideous, unfounded prosecution of Pres. Trump who did more for peace in the Middle East than any president.
While Schiff has made a number of contributions to supporting the Armenian cause and also Israel, he is partly to blame for the present attacks on Israel by COLLUDING in an amoral prosecution of the president.
Schiff is odious … he doesn’t know which side he is on.
James Lincoln says
mortimer says,
“Schifty Schiff should apologize for his hideous, unfounded prosecution of Pres. Trump.”
What exactly are the “Vegas Odds” of that happening???
mortimer says
Schifty Schiff SLANDERS and SMEARS Republicans WORSE than HITLER SLANDERED the JEWS.
Schiff said it was “never acceptable to give voice to, or repeat, anti-Semitic smears”.
But it is FINE FOR HIM to slander and SMEAR Republicans for years and years … no evidence is required. What an ODIOUS, HYPOCRITICAL man.
Schift’s credo: “Do what I say, but not what I do.”
Honest-Ali says
Schiff is showing his true evil colors… yet again…
You notice how the demon possessed are compelled to assist Evil and act against Good?
They can’t help it.
By their works, they are always known.
Honest Ali says
Why on Earth, would this comment need moderation? Only the truly evil would find it offensive and need to censor or “moderate” it.”. Are you now infiltrated and controlled by Evil, JW?
gravenimage says
Honest Ali, your comment posted.
somehistory says
I agree.
mortimer says
Schiff is a consummate actor. He has helped a party that is harbors extreme anti-Semities. They should have put the anti-Semites out the door … Schiff allowed them to stay!
Schiff is guilty for giving Muslim countries the message that the US is wavering on Israel.
Schiff emboldened the enemies of Israel and Jewish voters should not permit him continue in his job.
mortimer says
Disagree. Schiff is not totally ‘evil’, but he is very mean-spirited towards Republicans.
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR, Adam!
Wellington says
Schiff is a monumental liar, Biden is a monumental weakling and Israel should make Gaza look like the face of the moon if necessary.
Just as virtually all German civilian casualties due to Allied bombing in WWII can be, should be, laid at the feet of Hitler and his evil minions, so should the same reasoning be applied to civilian casualties in Gaza due to what the IDF and IAF might do.
As Winston Churchill opined, and with much sadness, civilization must sometimes stoop almost as low as the barbarian in order to save civilization. It’s a very sad and tragic reality but the fault lies entirely with the barbarian for such a consequence. Besides, the more civilization hesitates to utterly destroy the barbarian the more civilization suffers all the more in the long run.
Do it now, Israel. Wipe out Hamas whatever the cost.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Correct on all counts…
maria says
Yes, and take back the territory of Gaza which was given to the hamas murderers of Ariel Sharon (when he was already mentally ill)
mortimer says
Agree: the Nazis treated the German people as hostages and cattle for slaghter. The Americans and their Allies who liberated Germany, also liberated the Germans from HITLER’S CONSPIRATORS.
Hamas are CONSPIRATORS in the same way, high-jacking the government and using the state against the Arab people.
E T says
At one point on Wednesday, Hamas fired over 130 rockets into the heart of Israel in a 5 minute span, as part of an Iranian/Hamas strategy to flood Israel’s iron dome with so many rockets that many will get through.
Benjamin Netanyahu said “Whoever attacks us will pay a heavy price …. the terrorist organizations in Garza crossed a red line and attacked us with misses at the entrances of Jerusalem. Israel will respond with great force…. We did not want to escalate, but those who chose to escalate will be hit forcefully “.
Here in Canada, under lockdown, thousands were out on the streets protesting against Israel, mostly Muslims.
mortimer says
Canada’s 2 million Muslims are mostly Jew-haters openly are secretly. Canada’s 250,000 Jews are way outnumbered now. Sad.
Infidel says
Infrastructure? Great, that’s the word! Since Israel is working on some infrastructure – granted it’s destroying the infrastructure of its enemies – any financial support to Israel should be tossed into the infrastructure bill! It’s more related to infrastructure than childcare, or critical race theory or abortion services for men
mortimer says
Bribed-man leads the loony Left and they lead him. No one can truly say who the real president is, but everyone knows it ain’t Sleepy Joe. Angry hormonal TEENAGERS have stolen daddy’s keys and credit cards and are running amok in Washington. WILL NO ONE STOP THEM?
somehistory says
What would shiffty say if he had been a “lawmaker” during the time the U.S. was considering what to do about Japan? What if Israel had been then as they are now…a strong nation…and had voiced opposition to the bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki…because they didn’t like the idea and had given some money/arms to the U.S.? Would he have said, “myob”?
Old shiffty is a no goodnick. He’s a lying troublemaker, a hypocrite and so much more…get out the dictionary and his face can be seen on all the definitions of evil, wicked, sorry excuse for a man, …photo not really there…just the facts, nothing but the facts.
I wonder sometimes how these guys get along with their wives and family…gotta’ be a trial for the family.
gravenimage says
Israelis ‘determined to take down infrastructure of Hamas,’ but Schiff calls on Biden’s handlers to stop them
……………
Just disgusting. Why does Schiff think that Hamas’ murderous infrastructure should be protected?
Infidel says
B’cos it’s infrastructure?
Jim says
The Democrats want the Israelis to do what America does to avoid winning wars today. Fight for a draw instead of a victory. Show off nobility to the disgusting people who have no scruples about trying to destroy Israel. That is not how the West won the Second World war, one just has to see all the destruction in Germany that was done by the West and Russia. But at least the Allies got an unconditional surrender. Likewise, Grant and Sherman got an unconditional surrender in the Civil War. If it had been conducted according to rules of nobility, there might still be slavery in the south. There still are slaves in Africa and Asia, so that is not impossible to imagine. Now we are intimidated by the appeal to women and children. So, as a result, women and children are still being killed by Hamas and Hszbollah terrorists, and rockets.
commonsense says
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III has declared that America’s main threat – an existential threat, no less – is…Climate Change. While gasoline shortages persist along the Eastern Seaboard due to a cyberattack on a critical pipeline, thousands of unvetted illegal aliens flood into our country daily because we no longer have border security, our electric grid has been revealed to be vulnerable to cyber warfare, and chaos rages in the Middle East, with Israel besieged as never before by advanced Iranian-built weaponry, this dolt worries about climate change, while the half-senile President-by-Election-Fraud dithers and drools, begging Iran to take the billion$ he throws at them to postpone building a nuclear arsenal for a few more years and agree to a *hudna,* (not that he even knows what the hell that is), and China grows ever stronger militarily and economically, all of our adversaries and outright enemies now acting against us with impunity, smelling blood in the water…we may have hundreds of billion$ worth of advanced military hardware, but we will never win another war again.
commonsense says
My two cents: I hope that Israel still possesses (or can quickly manufacture) low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, and deploy one or more over strategic Iranian targets, e.g. underground labs where uranium is being enriched, or where advanced rockets and long-range missiles are stored/developed. Low-yield nuclear devices irradiate, killing everyone involved. If this war begins to go badly for Israel – i.e. if the IDF runs low on Iron Dome defense missiles, I hope it can successfully deploy such weapons into Iran and cripple its weapons development for years to come. The world will, undoubtedly, condemn Israel for its “aggression” and cite its pledge to never initiate the use of nuclear weapons in a conflict, but at least Israel will survive.
Ben Kennedy says
Yes, the world will condemn Israel; and they will do that for as long as there is an Israel. So, Israel might as well have the game as the name. The world does not have the intestinal fortitude to reason or debate the real issues. The world only pretends. Israel is the only Nation left with any honor.
OLD GUY says
This worthless clown needs to be kicked out of office. Israel has every right to protect itself from the muslim/islamic enemy. I wonder how much money he receives from muslim/islamic donors? When our government gives BILLIONS of our tax dollars to countries like Iran they can purchase a lot of political power around the world with our money. How DUMB is that?
E T says
Whenever I see him, I think of sh*t for brain. He is vile, little man.
Ben Kennedy says
Given the Israelies’ very high tolerance for being attacked and even suffering the deaths of their women and children, Biden must think himself quite safe in attacking Israel from the White House. Perhaps God, in defense of Israel, will take out all their enemies where ever they may be hiding. Do we all need a “National Day of Prayer” to that end?
