Biden is wrong: 'Negotiation' won't work with Hamas
President Joe Biden and tens of thousands of protesting Israelis keep insisting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do more to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists. They aren't so clear about what exactly Netanyahu can do.
The Israeli citizens at least can claim emotional stress for their lack of full reason. Biden's backstabbing of Netanyahu, though, is despicable and inexcusable.
Asked if Netanyahu was doing enough to secure the release of some 100 remaining hostages, Biden simply said "no." He also is saying he expects to give both Hamas and Israel, equally, a "take it or leave it" proposal. But how, pray tell, can Israel negotiate with a terrorist network that refuses actually to accept any limits on its own murderousness? How can Netanyahu negotiate with thugs who have rejected every other ceasefire agreement for 11 months? How can anyone negotiate with monsters who don't even care about their own people's lives but whose entire reason for being is to wipe out the Jewish nation by every means foul and fouler?
Every single time a "deal" supposedly is in the offing, Hamas commits another atrocity. In last week's abomination, Hamas butchered six innocent people, three of whom were specifically being discussed for release in the last round of inane "negotiations." What possible concession can Israel make to ward off such pure evil, especially without giving Hamas even more incentive to slaughter other hostages to gain even further concessions?
Seriously, can Biden, in his morally smug cocoon, possibly provide even the barest of sensible answers to any of this?
In a "statement" surely drafted by some White House apparatchik, at least Biden finally, after 11 months, talked somewhat tough about Hamas itself rather than spending all his time blaming the Israeli victims. "Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes," he said in the statement. But where, pray tell, have been any similar threats from Biden to Hamas's leaders since last Oct. 7? More to the point, where has there been any action in line with such threats?
Nowhere. Unforgivably, pusillanimously: Nowhere.
For 11 months, five Americans have been held hostage by the Hamas swine. After this past weekend's murders, one is now dead. How many times has Biden even said their names in public? Three or four times in 11 months — maybe. I can't find more records than that. In his almost endlessly repeated denunciations of Netanyahu by name, Biden hasn't found anywhere near the same level of invective, until this weekend's anonymous "Hamas leaders will pay" blather, for the criminal refuse who ordered the raping, child-snuffing, demonic invasion of Israel on Oct. 7.
And yes, these Hamas creatures aren't human. They are demons. There is nothing human about the savagery and tortures meted out by Hamas during last fall's attack. Nothing.
Against such demons, there can be no negotiation. There can be only one tactic, one strategy, one answer: Snuff them out. Eliminate them. After so many decades of terrorism, Hamas must not be allowed to exist. Give Netanyahu a green light to destroy the terrorists and use American power, if possible, to save, or else to avenge, the American citizens Hamas has so demonically mistreated. Sometimes the only effective negotiation comes from the hot end of a gun.
It appears a lot of progressives think that Netanyahu is the ultimate cause of all the alleged Palestinian aka Hamas deaths supposedly of women and child, who are routinely used as human shields. Many of them even think all Hamas wants is a two-state solution and be left alone to live in peace.
They have little to nothing to say about all the pro-Palestinian protests and riots going on here in the US and abroad, perhaps fearing an election day backlash by the Arab-American's community, many of whom reside in the swing state of Michigan.
Netanyahu has been under indictment for fraud and corruption for some time. His initial reaction was to try to overhaul the judiciary which indicted him. IMHO he is more evil than Putin.
Oct 7 ( if he wasn't involved ) has been a god send to Netanyahu, keeping him in charge, in an emergency situation while all else is suspended. He is the one Making the Philadelphi Corridor a non negotiable. Put UN troops in there and be done with it.
He can get whatever is left of the hostages out and then resume the bombing. He cannot afford to let this end.
The Philadelphi Corridor IS non-negotiable. It is the conduit for the weapons and ammunition Hamas gets smuggled to them through the tunnels that are (wink, wink) "watched" by Egypt. Put the UN there? The UN is the biggest antisemitic organization in the world. UNRWA has been aiding Hamas, and Israel has PROVEN it, but have you heard any kind of admission by Guterres? Has the UN pressured Hamas at all? Okay, SP, just who DO you support?
That would be about as effective as having boy scouts put out a campfire by pissing on it.
Seriously, they simply would side with the Hamas killers and kill Jews.
The tragedy of all this is set in stone now. Israel could win the war and gain generations of terrorists. They should have taken a more measured response, targeting those responsible for Oct 7th. Sure it would have taken a long time , but its not like peace in the middle east hasnt already taken a long time.
Israel is a torn country, between the bloodthirsty and the bleeding hearts . There will be calls to "wipe out " the Palestinians, its already happening.
Three of the 6 planners of Oct 7 and the Hamas leaders are dead, yet the US State Department just released February 2024 indictments against them.
6,000 years?
For 75 years, the Palestinians have called to “wipe out” the Jews.
