It seems that the Bidenites have turned into a cabal of buttinskis. Has any country other than Israel been told what it can or cannot do to defend itself? Yet in Washington, the Jewish state is being bombarded by unsought advice from Kamala Harris, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Joe Biden. They all are quite certain that an assault on Rafah, at the southern tip of Gaza, by the IDF, would turn out to be “disastrous” for Israel. It’s amazing how much better these four horsemen of the geopolitical apocalypse understand the precise situation of Hamas fighters in that city, and know, too, the war-fighting capacities of the IDF, better than do the Israeli generals and government officials who have been fighting Hamas intermittently for the last quarter-century, and right now are coming near the end of their latest, and longest, war against Hamas, a war that Israel did not seek, but was forced to fight to protect the Jewish state and its people from a repetition of the atrocities committed by the terror group on October 7.
Here, for example, is Jake Sullivan. “Biden And Sullivan Should Stand Firmly Behind Israel’s War Aims,” by Shoshana Bryen, Daily Caller,
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan thinks Israel is making a mistake. “A major ground operation [in Rafah by Israel against Hamas] would be a mistake,” he said at a White press briefing on March 18. “It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza, and isolate Israel internationally. More importantly, the key goals Israel wants to achieve in Rafah can be done by other means.”
The key goal Israel has in Rafah has been made crystal clear. The IDF wants to destroy the four intact battalions of Hamas fighters in that city, so as to complete the dismantlement of Hamas as a military force.. How can that be achieved without entering Rafah, and fighting with the same ferocity with which the IDF fought in Gaza City and Khan Yunis? If there is some other way that the dismantlement of Hamas’ remaining forces can be achieved, why keep it under wraps? Jake Sullivan thinks the “key goals Israel wants to achieve in Rafah can be done by other means.” What means are those? Why doesn’t Jake Sullivan tell the Israelis what that way is? Could it be that the Bidenites have no alternative brilliant plan, but simply want to stop the IDF from invading Rafah because, among other reasons, Joe Biden wants to get credit for calling off those mad-dog Israelis so that he can win back those disaffecgted Muslim voters in Michigan this November?
According to Sullivan, President Joe Biden reassured Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, “I am for the defeat of Hamas… At the same time, I believe that to get to that, you need a strategy that works. And that strategy should not involve a major military operation…’”
I didn’t realize that Joe Biden had become a veritable blend of Lao Tzu and Clausewitz. Or that Blinken, Sullivan, and Kamala had also become deeply versed in the art of war. Hell, what do the Israelis know about fighting and winning wars? Hmm. Let’s think. Yes, of course. Remember how Israel fared in the wars of 1948, 1967, 1973? Or do you recall those military campaigns, short of major wars, that Israel fought and won, including the Sinai Campaign (1956) the War of Attrition (1967-1970), the First Lebanon War (1982), the First Intifada (1987-1993), the Second Intifada (2000-2005), the Second Lebanon War (2006), the First Gaza War (2008-2009), the Second Gaza War (2014), Operation Protective Edge (2014), Operation Guardian of the Walls (2021) and dozens of other smaller operations? Turns out that the IDF has never lost a war. And it’s not losing one now. How strange for Biden to tell the Israelis “you need a strategy that works. And that strategy should not involve a major military operation.” What? Doesn’t he see what has happened so far in this war? Israel has had a “strategy that works” and it happens to “involve a major military operation.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn’t need Biden presumptuously lecturing him, when he told the Israeli Prime Minister that “a military operation in Rafah should not proceed without a credible and executable plan” for protecting and supporting the Palestinians sheltering there. If the IDF invades Rafah, the war will be over within a few weeks. Why mess with success?

The IDF know what it is doing. Stand back and let it do its job and how fighting in a mega city is done.

My advice to Israel is to tell all the Bidenites “Let’s go Brandon.”

I am an Amerucan citizen. The Biden administration embarrasses me with their ineptitude. You do not have to look far back.in history to edify that. The pullout from Afghanistan was such a disaster orchestrated by this crew. It seems that the Bidenettes value “innocent” Palestinian lives over those of Israelus valiant young and accomplishment men and women. It seems Biden and Co. valued keeping the Taliban in power and strengthening the Axis of evil over the countless American lives lost in a generation of useless fighting in Afghanistan. They are poised to advise Israel to follow the sane platoon. Prrhaps the large and unwieldy Ameruca can withstand such a loss, mighty little Israel cannot.
I am 2/3 of the way through with reading Ribert Spencer’s the Palestinian Delusion. What troubles me is the series of American presidents that were geopolitically naive, in particular Carter and Clinton, who were willing to sacrifice Israel through fatuous diplomatic means. Not at all blameless were the Israeli leaders who caved to the pressures of these stupid presidents as well as wily Anwar Sadat.
Like him.or not, now is not the time to counter Bibi’s strategy. All experienced military strategists in Britain and the US agree, Rafah must be entered and HAMAS decimated.
Israel must stand strong and not be so dependent on Amerucan armaments. In the Middle East only brute force and military victory is respected. Israel must put their minds to developing their own weaponry. They have the will and brain power to do so
I suggest the Bidenettes read Robert Spencer’s books before they spout these inanities.
Walter Sieruk says
What Joe Biden and Jake Sullivan are telling the government officials of the State of Israel and also the military heads of the Israel Defense Force is that ” The IDF should not do its duty and job by not entering into Rafah do what it should do which is eliminating Hamas because it’s a very dangerous and murderous jihadist organization.
That terrible message from Biden and Sullivan must mean they they both are such dolts that they fail to understand that it’s the obligation and responsibility of every good government to protect the lives , safety and security of it’s citizens ‘
Therefore with that hostile vicious and deadly jihad entity in existence and active jihad entity, Hamas ,in existence and active the IDF entering Rafah and destroying that murder machine ,Hamas , is both important and necessary.

A reporter asked the people on the street in Israel about the things pols in the U.S. are telling Israel to do…such as biden and schumer…and they are saying they know it’s all about the election; that schumer and others should worry about their own reelection, etc.
And one person said that biden says one thing today and it’s gone tomorrow. And they have his mental state pegged.
Fetterman says he has a “hard disagree” with harris, and that hamas is responsible for all civilian casualties because they hide behind the palestinians.
I wouldn’t want the next door neighbor telling me how to run my household; and certainly not some guy in another nation.
Walter Sieruk says
Both Joe Biden and Jake Sullivan are very much against the Israel Defense Force entering into Rafah and eliminating Hamas from that area of land once and for all, should surprise no informed person who well understands their insidious comradeship with the Red/Green alliance.
maria says
No Biden and Sullivan are allowed to dictate Israel what to do.
Biden, Sullivan, “squad” AOC should be either sent to Afrika or be sentenced according Court Martial

It is shocking to see so many so-called conservatives arguing for globalism and against national sovereignty.
The propaganda only works because people WANT to believe it. It really does show just how effective the social engineering has been, even on those who consider themselves free thinkers.

“Don’t Invade Rafah”
Or else Saudi Arabia will cut off their oil from us.
That’s what the whole story is about.
