The betrayal is official. Similar stories appeared a week ago from Israeli media outlets, but the Biden administration is now saying it out loud.
Here it is in the New York Times.
The Biden administration has told the Israeli government that it wants Israel to end its large-scale ground campaign in the Gaza Strip around the end of the year and transition to a more targeted phase in its war against Hamas, four senior U.S. officials said.
As the Biden administration envisions, this new phase would involve the use of smaller groups of elite Israeli forces that would move in and out of population centers in Gaza, carrying out more precise missions to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages and destroy tunnels.
During meetings in Israel that began on Thursday, American officials said Jake Sullivan, Mr. Biden’s national security adviser, discussed the timeline for a transition to lower-intensity operations supported by the U.S. administration.
U.S. officials said Mr. Biden wants Israel to end the large-scale ground campaign in the Gaza Strip within three weeks, or soon thereafter. They asked for anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking.
The U.S. calls for a change in tactics came as Israel’s defense minister said on Thursday that the war against Hamas “will last more than several months,” signaling determination to continue carrying out strikes in Gaza.
And in Axios.
“National Security Adviser Sullivan made clear in all meetings that the high intensity kinetic campaign needed to transition to the next lower intensity phase in a matter of weeks not months. [This is not] a deadline and we understand the campaign must and will continue, but in a lower intensity manner,” a senior U.S. official told Axios.
This lines up with Biden’s remarks blasting Netanyahu and Israel.
Biden officials may be pitching this as a transition, but it would actually end the war and return to the status quo. Hamas would be able to regroup and resume control over Gaza.
The proposed “lower intensity phase” would have Israeli soldiers ducking in and out of Gaza to get high-value targets. A similar attempt just cost Israel the lives of 8 soldiers.
This would actually return to the pre-existing state of affairs in which Israel tried to take out top terrorists in response to attacks.
Whether or not the Netanyahu government would accept that, Israelis will not. And if Biden and Sullivan thinks they will, they’ve been fundamentally misled by J Street and anti-Israel leftists who reduce the war to bashing Netanyahu.
So a more serious split is coming.
The Biden administration hasn’t contributed all that much to the Israeli war effort beyond some moral support, some military resupply (the vast majority of it was deliberately tied up by linking it to a huge and unpopular Ukraine package) and some interception capabilities that have been utilized against the Houthis and hypothetically might be used against Hezbollah.
The “bear hug” was always more show than reality.
The administration is refusing to supply some weapons already and it will presumably stop voting in support of Israel at the UN.
The short version is that the anti-Israel voices, from Muslim Democrats threatening a boycott, to pro-Hamas leftist activists have won, but realistically they were always going to.
The post Oct 7 relationship is breaking up. It’s just a matter of spin.
The Biden administration will keep doubling down on blaming the “right-wing government” for pulling the support they were always going to pull. J Street and other groups that pretended to sympathize with Israel will be used to sell American Jews on the betrayal.
The question is how many will fall for it? This is where making the right arguments will become really important.
I would be very surprised to learn that anyone takes what Pedo Joe says at face value any more. His co-conspirators support his lies, but they know better. Everyone else knows that he is repeating lines provided to him by his paymasters. But not everyone is willing to take action to remove him from office. All this is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Yes, how that doddering dotard is still in office amazes me. Don”t Americans have balls anymore?
Yes but they are men pretending to be women,
Joe Biden has advocated for a “New World Order” for practically all his political career, even while he was still in the U.S. Senate representing his adopted home state of Delaware. In 1992 he wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal entitled “How I Learned to Love the New World Order,” and later delivered a three-day address to the full Senate entitled “On the Threshold of a New World Order.” These are MUST-READS so enter the titles, one at a time, of course, in the searchbox, preferably in Brave Search and DuckDuckGo, to read and these articles, while you still can.
Who do the pencil-neck White House advisors and the woke Joint Staff think they are, dictating strategy and tactics to the IDF? This is outrageous and despicable. Is Israel an independent nation or a vassal state of the Biden Adminstration? This man needs to go in 2025 before he destroys Israel and the United States.
The last time that Biden set a date for one of his foreign policy failures, thirteen Americans died and many were stranded in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is far away from the US, except at Biden’s open borders. Israel cannot walk away from Hamas.
The US gave itself 20 years in Afghanistan. Now it complains, after not 2-1/2 months, that Israel needs to wind it down.
This is so absurd. One can’t set a date for when a war ends because the enemy also gets a vote. The last time they set a date for the war to end was Afghanistan, which resulted in total victory for the enemy terrorists.
Truman came pretty close in August 1945. Just sayin’.
He nuked those nip off their little islands, didn’t he?
My Dad was in the Philippines staging for the invasion of Japan when the bomb went off. Otherwise I might not be here. He was stationed in Japan for awhile after the surrender but I never talked to him about it so I don’t know what his experiences were. Now it is too late.
Yeah, that worked out so well the last time and all the terrorists did was wait till after the deadline and then restarted their side of the war! Joe didn’t learn much from the jug eared one!
The best defense is always a good offense.
It might be a good time now to bring back the evidence of voter fraud. And to start attacking the islamists in the government by brining in treason charges.
The fighting ends when Hamas is exterminated..
Dead men don’t need cease fires.
Israel must destroy its enemies arming and funding Hamas, Iran and the Biden administration!
Israel should tell Biden to GO POUND SAND and quit supporting Hamas
look at Joke Bidumb in that photo. He doesn’t even know where he is. He always looks like “A deer caught in the headlights” Except when he pretending to be angry and saying “hey kids, get offa my lawn” or something similarly stupid. His mock anger is weak. We all know he’s a loud mouthed pussy. It makes him look decrepit, which he is. That weak ass old man.
He’s a retard and we’re all supposed to pretend he’s normal?
And Kammy is even worse.
She’s such a slut pig dog whore she could give my ex wife a run for her money. Except that my ex is hot and Kameltoe is not.
If I were Netanyahu (and in the paraphrased words of my sorely missed dad), I’d tell Joe to “want” in one hand and defecate in the other and see which one fills up faster.
So it’s not enough that our incompetent military leaders lose our own wars, now they want to help our allies lose theirs as well. FJB.
I wiped also enjoy the war ending by Christmas, but ONLY if it means that Hamas has been destroyed. Hamas represents the nadir of humanity.
