(Secretary of State Blinken pictured above doing what he does best.)
The Biden administration has its priorities.
After the latest Hezbollah rocket strike on a soccer field killed 12 kids in a Druze community in Israel’s Golan Heights, the administration is jumping into action to make sure the Israelis don’t actually fight back.
The US is leading diplomatic efforts to rein in an anticipated Israeli response to the deadly strike on the Golan.
“Rein in”.
This was the M.O. after the Iranian attack on Israel. It’s the M.O. in the Hamas war. And in every Islamic terrorist attack.
The media has tried to bury the 12 dead kids in favor of amping up worries that Israel attacking the Iranian-backed Hezbollah Islamic terrorist group will “set the Middle East on fire.” There are never any worries that an Islamic terrorist attack will set the region on fire. Only responses to Islamic terror attacks do that.
And that is why the terror attacks keep happening.
The Biden administration is looking for a diplomatic solution with Hezbollah which ought to continue working out as well as its pursuit of a diplomatic solution with Hamas and with Iran.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reiterated Washington’s belief in a diplomatic solution for the conflict on Israel’s northern border during a call with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Monday, two days after Iran-backed Hezbollah killed 12 children in the Golan Heights.
The two discussed “continued efforts toward a diplomatic solution in the north that stops all attacks and allows citizens on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border to return home safely,”
The only way that will happen is if Hezbollah is defeated. And that’s true of Islamic terrorists in general.

The main problem is that it’s hard to attack the terrorist tunnels and underground facilities.
Mike Larkin says
It’s not really, just that all the shrieking nannies leftards’ heads would explode if Israel did the most effective and efficient thing, which is pour petrol down them and then set it alight.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Yes, I agree. And it also solves the collateral damage problem nicely, if imperfectly. Not many Christians and other innocents in the tunnels.

Israel has no choice but respond as did USA on 9/11. Problem with USA responding in March, 2003 is it went after Iraq and what’s his puss who was Iraq dictator when that regime had nothing to do with 9/11. Remember they did a fool’s parody on where’s the weapons of mass destruction with their weapons of mass deception, the main sleaze media –
This is Israel’s very existence. Let’s admit it and let’s face it, Hebrew people have been the target of genocide since BCE era. We know this because the lessons in the Old Testament. When Israel was with YHVH, warring angels were sent, when Israel got to where USA is now, ignoring and even mocking YHVH, HE withdrew HIS protection and destruction came from within and from enemies without. From the inquisition to the pogroms to the nazzi deathcamps , the holocaust, Jews returned to our promise land and the Arab muslim neighbors have never let Israel be. The reason why this war was started by Iran proxies from hamazz to hellbullshita along with a media fomented antisemitism that has become vogue and fashionable due to the weakness in USA by the coup d’etat we are from stolen 2020 election.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Looking for a diplomatic solution is impossible when there is no consensus. The continued insistence upon consensus / diplomatic solutions ignores the fundamental desire of Israel’s enemies – her complete and total annihilation.
Peace cannot be maintained without violence.
Domenic Pepe says
Israel made a mistake.
Israel should have decapitated the Iranian Ayatollah regime on 8 October 2023.
That is Priority Number One.
All other Israeli military activities are secondary at best regarding bringing an end to the murder and terrorism.
Enough of the Kabuki Theater. Decapitate the Iranian Ayatollah regime.
Cassandra says
Agreed, they could have done a twofer with Haniyeh, it just boggles the mind that they didn’t. Now the IRI Nazis will be extra careful. Israel could have got them all together in one sweet spot. This seems to be the problem with successive governments, for instance Operation Cast Lead: what did that achieve?
SPURWING PLOVER says
Israel needs to tell Biden to GO POUND SAND and turn the site of that Rocket launch into a smoldering crater and those terrorists into blacked Skeletons
Sword of The Spirit says
But what Biden DOES NOT DO is tell Iran and Hezbolla to stop. And whatever snake is in charge of the Lebanese regime is kissing Hzbolla butts.
Floyd Looney says
The US is still withholding weapons from Israel too
CowboyUp says
This is especially obscene and pathetic of the dems. Hezzbutliks truck bombed the Marine barracks and murdered a lot of other Americans in Beirut. They’re run by the IRG and the mad mullahs. They ‘re not looking for a diplomatic solution, which is why diplomacy achieves nothing with them.
I don’t suppose the Hague had anything to say about this deliberate attack on civilians and bringing who ordered it to justice? Nah? Didn’t think so. Trump can’t get into office soon enough. I hope blinkin’s a better guitar player than he is a diplomat, because he sucks at his day job.
TruthLaser says
It was bad enough when Jews did not have their independence and needed court Jews to speak on their behalf to the rulers of nations they lived in. Now that Israel is independent again, it should never have to have permission to defend itself. Nationalities suffering from genocide in the 20th century were not independent. Among those were Armenians, Ukrainians, and Jews. De-escalation should never be submission to genocide.
Emma says
I guess the Biden administration doesn’t really care about Arab children, just the ones in Gaza.
