The barrage of rocket fire targeting Israel’s civilian population continues as Biden is calling on Israel for a ceasefire, only to be met by a determined “no” from Netanyahu — a short answer of logical reason for a weak and blind leader. Since “Hamas and now terrorists in Lebanon are ignoring Biden’s calls for calm,” it is unreasonable for anyone in his right mind to advise Israel to stop defending itself. Israel needs to put an end to jihadist bullying once and for all as it engages Operation Guardian of the Walls.
One wonders: if Iran started bombing America, would Biden sit by and allow it? In fact, there is no sovereign nation on the face of the earth that would allow a hostile enemy to rain a steady barrage of rockets on its citizens, without taking defensive action. Israel is a sovereign nation with the duty to protect its country and citizenry, not to listen to the dictates of outsiders.
The Israel Government Press Office gave a thorough and brief summary of this latest round of violence HERE.
“BREAKING: Netanyahu Says No to Biden’s Call for Ceasefire,” by Katie Pavlich, Townhall, March 19, 2021:
Netanyahu says he is “determined” to continue operations against Hamas until Israeli’s goal is met.
President Joe Biden is calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “de-escalate” with Hamas terrorists in Gaza as the Iranian backed organization continues its attacks on innocent civilians.
“President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today. The two leaders had a detailed discussion on the state of events in Gaza, Israel’s progress in degrading the capabilities of Hamas and other terrorist elements, and ongoing diplomatic efforts by regional governments and the United States. The President conveyed to the Prime Minister that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire,” the White House released about a call between Biden and Netanyahu Wednesday morning.
Hamas and now terrorists in Lebanon are ignoring Biden’s calls for calm…..
Christopher Watson says
Of course he said ‘No’. He probably doesn’t know where Israel is!

“. . .there is no sovereign nation on the face of the earth that would allow a hostile enemy to rain a steady barrage of rockets on its citizens, without taking defensive action. Israel is a sovereign nation with the duty to protect its country and citizenry, not to listen to the dictates of outsiders.”
With greatest respect to Ms. Williams, I think something far less than a “steady barrage” of close to or more than 4000 explosive laden projectiles is required to trigger a convincing and devastating response.
I write about an ancient English case, (as I remember the oldest case we studied in law school, the cite of which I have forgotten and been unable to find), where an archer standing in a wooden fortification shot dead a man about to throw the ancient equivalent of a Molotov cocktail onto the wooden “keep”. The archer was later arrested and tried in a Common Law court for murder. The judge ruled correctly that waiting until the jar hit the wooden structure defeated the basic human right of self-defense and defense of others that has been part of all civilization until recently.
What about the millions of women, children and other non-combatants who were killed in indiscriminate bombing of cities in WWII? The Allies did it as readily as the enemy, and far more effectively. Israel is taking the greatest care ever shown in war to avoid as many civilian deaths and injuries as possible. Hamas et al know they are far from effective at producing the Jewish deaths they seek, so as a second choice they willingly place their women and children as human shields, in violation of every norm of international law, to be sacrificed for headlines and propaganda. And they want the sympathetic ICC to prosecute Israel? IF the ICC had a shred of honesty and integrity about it, it would be Hamas under their sham investigation.

I wish I could give you an upvote.
Hamas” started the fire.”
Walter Sieruk says
It’s very good that Netanyahu has refused to listen to that sinister , wicked ,old men Biden, who has not wisdom is just mindlessly just continuing in the same old terribly flawed fool policies of his former boss and chief, Obama.
President imposter Biden is not just a feeble -minded idiot. Worse .yet, he’s a dangerous feeble minded idiot.
unbeliever1 says
Biden has to appease his leftist base and the Squad.He has found himself in a catch 22 situation.
somehistory says
What one “expects” and what one receives is not necessarily the same thing.
Even if the one “expecting” is a (demented) “president” of a nation.
The 911 call is answered; the homeowner says as calmly as possible, “There is a man attempting to break in and I see he’s holding a firearm.”
The dispatcher says, “Well, I expect you to remain calm. Do you have a weapon”
“Yes, I’m holding my handgun as we speak.”
“Well,” says the dispatcher, “Don’t shoot, no matter what.”
“Even if he shoots at me?”
“Even if.”
john smith says
Good analogy.
somehistory says
Thank you, JS.
Rob Porter says
somehistory – it’s the same sort of illogical and treacherous twaddle that Barack Obama served to Israel. Like Obama, evidently Biden wants Israel to lose. With an ally like this Israel has another enemy.
Infidel says
Christine, you have to ask? Of course, the answer is yes. And if people ask him why he’s doing nothing about it, he’ll ask us to put our masks back on. Just like for him, last year, ‘Covid’ was a bigger issue than the BLM riots
This is the same guy who yesterday ‘offered’ to run over a reporter who simply asked him what he thought about the situation in Israel
somehistory says
I hadn’t heard about his “offer.” mafia guys make “offers” that can’t be refused. mozlums are the same as mafia…and evidently, mozlums are in power now.
Jim says
There is a certain similarity between the open borders of the US which Joe started and letting Hamas fire rockets across the Israeli border. Both ways of opening the border can destroy the target country. The masses of undocumented invaders are like human bombs aimed at destroying America as we knew it from within. The rockets are aimed at destroying Israel as we knew it. They are more deadly, but there is a certain similarity of intent. And Joe wants both. He also wants Israel to have open borders for Islamic invasion.
Andrew Blackadder says
Its gonna be a long long four years and I hope the USA can survive it.
Jim says
What use is a ceasefire if there is going to be a resumption of rockets fired at Israel after a short pause lasting perhaps weeks, months or years. Hamas would not refrain from starting it up again, especially when The US continues to donate money to them. What in the world are the Democrats thinking.
Frank Anderson says
Jim, the line given to us years ago is that if Democrats had brains they would be Republicans. It has not changed. They are mindless followers of evil who wish to destroy Israel and then the United States, “The Great Satan”. They are at the moment doing a really good job. Expecting a sovereign country to tolerate a rain of explosives from a group of terrorists who openly vow to murder every citizen of that country is a level of ignorance that should appall any person who can think. But Democrats can’t think because they have no brains.
OLD GUY says
Maybe if we cut the money off going to support Hamas, Iran and the rest of the islamic word they wouldn’t have so many rockets and bullets to use against Israel and US. Sending BILLIONS of American TAX DOLLARS to these countries is a total fraud.
Jim says
If missiles started being fired into the US from outside, I would expect Biden to apologize for his racist, imperialist country and beg for a ceasefire based on the border before Texas gained independence from Mexico. Perhaps he would even open the borders and send busses and planes to bring in terrorists and cartel members to appease them and to make amends for American imperialism.
