At a D.C. fundraiser, Biden criticized the Netanyahu government in Israel as “the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” claimed that it “doesn’t want a two-state solution” and warned that Israel was losing international support.
In Dubai, Kamala had already laid out what the Biden administration wants Israel to do.
“Five principles guide our approach for post-conflict Ga- — Gaza: no forcible displacement, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, no reduction in territory, and no use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism.”
“We want to see a unified Gaza and West Bank under the Palestinian Authority, and Palestinian voices and aspirations must be at the center of this work.”
There’s nothing new about this. It’s the rinse-repeat that led to the current situation.
Kamala proposed reconstructing Gaza followed by rebuilding the terrorist forces of the Palestinian Authority.
“The Palestinian Authority Security Forces must be strengthened to eventually assume security responsibilities in Gaza. Until then, there must be security arrangements that are acceptable to Israel, the people of Gaza, the Palestinian Authority, and the international partners. And to reiterate — and this is very important — terrorists will not be permitted to continue to threaten Israel.
Third, governance. The Palestinian Authority must be revitalized, driven by the will of the Palestinian people, which will allow them to benefit from the rule of law and a transparent, responsive government.
Eventually, this revitalized PA must have the capacity to govern Gaza, as well as the West Bank.”
All of this has been tried. None of it has ever worked. Some of it led directly to Hamas.
The Bush administration, more specifically Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, had pushed for elections in the terrorist-controlled areas. Those elections put Hamas in power.
How does Kamala propose to handle the “the will of the Palestinian people” question? More elections? The Palestinian Authority refuses to hold them. And the only PA figure popular enough to win them is a terrorist leader serving life sentences in Israeli prison for his terrorist campaigns against Israelis. Most similar plans required releasing him and turning over the PA to a lethal terrorist.
The PA’s security forces are terrorists not any fundamentally different than Hamas. Israel had battled them during previous attacks.
The Biden-Kamala plan would be to repeat all the failed experiments of the last two decades in the hopes of arriving at a different outcome. But if you do the same things over again while expecting different results, you’re bound to be disappointed.
The Biden administration believes that defeating Hamas will clear the deck for the PA, but the reason Hamas had to be defeated was because Israel pulled out of Gaza and the Palestinian Authority held elections.
Now it wants Israel to pull out of Gaza and for the PA to hold elections. What’s the outcome going to be this time?
Netanyahu has rejected the idea of having the PA take over Gaza. It’s a proposal that’s unworkable for multiple reasons: including the reluctance of the PA to do it.
Kamala did not respond to questions about whether the Biden administration will reject an Israeli buffer zone in Gaza.
Israel was previously prevented from maintaining such a buffer zone. Had the buffer zone existed, Hamas would not have been able to react Israeli communities so rapidly and much of the Oct 7 massacre would have been averted.
Seemingly the Biden administration is open to a buffer zone. That’s about the only good news here. The rest is a determination to rinse and repeat the same failed policies that led to the current crisis.

All of this typical Dirtbagocrat bullshit is based on the fantasy that Paleosimians are a real ethnic identity, a fictional country of Palestine has ever existed and subhumans will live in peace with dem Joos if we give them a free country as a reward for jihad terrorism. What a load of shit. Heels up Harris needs to go back to spreading it for ugly senior citizens and STFU. Christmas is almost here so we can use her turkey neck for a dinner feast by the usual suspects but we don’t need her fugly cackling ass for anything else. Let her loose on the dog farm with Hillary.
I notice Jihad Joe’s handlers aren’t crossing Netanyahu publicly except for weak ass attempts like this to aid the Hamas jihadis murder babies and gang rape women. How they rape women with their tiny limpies, I don’t know.

Reminds me of an old story. There was a deer named Israel. All the deer gathered together and made a pact to stand together against the wolves, no matter what. Then a lone wolf was heard howling off in the far distance, and all the deer scattered, leaving Israel to fend for himself.
Jeff Bargholz says
Sounds about right. And by “right” I mean fucked up.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah. I was reading about “fight or flight”. Turns out even predators are liable to choose flight instead of fight, because if they get injured, they can’t hunt or forage as well, so they are liable to starve and die.
Got me wondering how humans got so trained that they were already to fight to the death en masse even back in Roman times. In more primitive wars they often called off the battle after a few casualties.

That reminds me of something that happened in history. The Enlightenment followed by Napoleon ending the ghettoes confining Jews resulted in many Jews dropping their ethnic baggage in the expectation of reciprocity. That did not happen, certainly not to the extent expected. The Jews in Europe had no nation to call their own, but they had enemies to devour them.
CowboyUp says
Never heard that story, but I see it, and why it came to be. People are actually complaining that Israel might buy ammo from us. It’s embarrasing.
Kasandra says
Any administration that believes that empowering Iran would make it a stabilizing force in the Middle East is delusional. This one does, and is. Starting from that point it is easy to see why it believes its prescription for the future of Gaza represents anything rational or likely to occur. It can lecture all it wants. Ain’t gonna happen. Not at least for generations..
CowboyUp says
Thumbs up Kassandra, but you forget who put the mad mullahs in charge of Iran. It’s not mere stupidity, it’s evil.
BLSinSC says
Israel should tell Joe that they appreciate his “thoughts and prayers” and would take his point under advisement and get back to him in a year of so after they have eradicated hamass and stabilized the region. By then the turnip should be out of office and housed in a suitable care facility!
Una Salus says
Disappointed if you take the stated aims at face value. Could be the definition of insanity or it could be that the West is just incapable of dealing with something that is implacable and relentless within the framework of its limited attention span.
“President Biden stressed in a speech after his meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem on Friday that a two-state solution based on the 1967 lines with agreed upon land swaps is the best way to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”
CowboyUp says
Can’t disagee with you there Una, they don’t agree with any lines, that involve Israel’s existence.
Una Salus says
“We love death like our enemies love life.” or stated another way – we love war like our enemies love peace, There’s certainly no doubt that we crave peace and the way to test the resolve of Hamas would be to throw oceans of money at them. Reportedly Netanyahu tried facilitating that with Qatar as an intermediary.
This is reported for two reasons I think. First to depose Netanyahu. Second to pretend Hamas is a Zionist creation. Whether or not it’s factual has very little to do with why anything is reported. Whether or not it was the implicit strategy of the entire Israeli political establishment is also irrelevant to the report.
Implacable, relentless.

“We love death like our enemies love life.” – Great, then everyone can be happy. Fakestinian supporters haven’t come up with an answer to that.
Una Salus says
So we have the pathetic situation today that many in Israel and many on Fox are grateful for Biden’s duplicitous support. He could be as crazy as those loons on campus or their University presidents. That’s how you lose the long game, Just add time.
CowboyUp says
Support, however cynical is support, Una. Embarresed to say it, but you’re right not to count on it from dems, or the GOPe.
Çâşëğ says
Two state solution has been in place since Churchill illegally gave 70% of the mandate to a Saudi Arabian tribe of Hashemites . Which is named Jordan. All Arabs living in Judea and Samaria should resettled in their own country called Jordan. And to all of Jew hating westerners including Biden. . It will never be another state between Israel and Jordan. Unless The Jews decide to commit collective suicide
mj says
Solution. Not a good word for Jews. ‘Two State‘ is code for ‘Final’.
The disciples of the Nazi propagandist Goebbels concocted Palestinianism and Two State-ism. They concocted myths of why Israel exists and, therefore, why it shouldn’t.
Robotic Joe and giggling Kam. Who are they?
Looks like they’re
“just following orders.”
