I'm with Donald Trump, that Benjamin Netanyahu is "strange"...compromised somehow.
A smart, moral leader would have killed the top leaders of HAMAS (they fly on jets and buy weapons..make plans etc..), instead of thousands upon thousands of fighters and innocent adults/children who happened to be near by. The HAMAS fighters would have used up their ammo and their moral would have been broken, months ago.
God it makes me so angry how "Bibi" is handling this payback for the Oct Hamas attack in Israel!!

And what exactly are the consequences that genocide Joe added to his ultimatum if Israel doesn't comply with his demands? And how long is Biden going to give Israel to comply?
That wasn't discussed? Biden was just posturing for the cameras?
He must think he's in trouble with someone. After what happened to him this week when he met Muslim leaders its not hard to see who.

The question is what does Israel have on old Joe that he keeps throwing his Muslim American supporters the scraps while he continues to support Israel?

That's pretty violent and brutal nonetheless.
Poor puppies.
I certainly hope you aren't advocating docking German Shepherds.

Remember that video of the 3 “kids” getting droned? Well they had guns….
Can’t wait to see footage of Hamas loading rpg into those 3 cars that got blown to Allah the other day.
Don’t care what Joe Biden wants. Never have.
Don’t give 1 single solitary F about one single soul in the Middle East.

Wheres the source for kids had guns. Even if they had firearms that doesn't give Israel the right to bomb them.
Under most circumstances, it is perfectly legal to bomb enemy combatants in a war, even if they're not actively attacking you.
This is the fundamental difference between war and the rules of self-defense in everyday life that a lot of people fail to understand.
This is also a good reason why the Palestinians should stop going to war with Israel, and when they do, maybe don't use child soldiers.
So here is something you take to the bank.

- Biden is trolling for Michigan and Minnesota votes for November.
- There can be no ceasefire without the hostages being released.

Seems Netanyahu has come to the end of his rope as far as the US government are concerned so in a 30 minute phone call today Biden has told Netanyahu enough is enough.
Netanyahu's response?
The IDF withdrew all ground troops from the southern Gaza Strip overnight, after four months of fighting in the Khan Younis area.
Only one brigade remains and is tasked with securing the 'Netzarim corridor' that divides the Gaza Strip, according to a report from The Times of Israel.
Israel had planned a ground invasion of the southern city of Rafah, where more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million population are taking refuge, claiming the city is a hive of Hamas's remaining strongholds.
It had been warned of "disastrous consequences" if it went ahead with the ground invasion - but until now did not seem to have been deterred from its plans.
It is not yet clear whether the withdrawal will delay the long-threatened incursion

The Israeli military has withdrawn all of its ground troops from southern Gaza save for one bridge in order to “rest and refit,” US officials say – as the Jewish State returns to the negotiating table with Hamas.
“They’ve been on the ground for four months, the word we’re getting is they’re tired, they need to be refit,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC’s “This Week.”
“It is really just about rest and refit for these troops,” Kirby added, “and not necessarily that we can tell indicative of some coming new operation for these troops.”
The uncle of the Israeli mother who was captured on video being kidnapped by Hamas with her two red-headed toddlers is calling on President Biden to give an ultimatum to the terrorist organization to secure their immediate release and warn, “Do something, or else.”
“I want Biden to tell Hamas, to tell Qatar negotiators, ‘Do something, or else,'” the frustrated uncle told The Post. “If enough pressure is put on them, then maybe we can finally see something change.”
“I’m sick and tired of listening to politicians, UN heads saying, ‘We understand your pain,'” Shnaider said. “No you don’t. If you did, you would be doing something about it.”
Israel has suspended leave for combat units and heightened its air defence command to deal with possible missile or drone attack from Iran following the killing this week in an airstrike of senior Revolutionary Guard commanders in Syria.
“In accordance with the situational assessment, it has been decided that leave will be temporarily paused for all IDF (Israel Defense Forces) combat units. The IDF is at war and the deployment of forces is under continuous assessment according to requirements,” the military said in a statement.
Israel on high alert after Iran’s missile retaliation threat
Around 3,000 soldiers in compulsory service or the reserves have been checked by the military’s mental health system, with 82% returning to battle. Three-quarters of those treated for post-trauma symptoms at a designated center at the IDF’s Tzrifin base have returned to duty, following a mutual decision made by the soldier and the mental health professional who worked with them.
