During a trip to Israel, America’s top diplomat pushed Tel Aviv to agree to limited “humanitarian pauses” to allow aid into Gaza and facilitate negotiations for Hamas to release prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said there would not be a temporary pause in the fighting.
On Friday, Secretary of State Blinken met with Netanyahu in Tel Aviv for the second time since Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7. During the face-to-face with Netanyahu, the American diplomat requested that Israel allow for humanitarian pauses to take place in Gaza.
After the Hamas attack, Tel Aviv ordered a complete siege of the Gaza Strip. The region’s 2.3 million residents have had their communication, food, water, and fuel cut off by Israel. Tel Aviv has allowed only a small percentage of humanitarian assistance needed to sustain the enclave’s population.
Blinken explained that humanitarian pauses could be utilized to deliver crucial aid to the Palestinian people and facilitate the release of prisoners held by Hamas. “We believe that each of these efforts would be facilitated by humanitarian pauses, by arrangements on the ground that increased security for civilians and permit the more effective and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance,” he said. “We see it as a way also and – and very importantly – of creating a better environment in which hostages can be released.”
The diplomat argued that the aid could be delivered without benefitting Hamas. “A number of legitimate questions were raised in our discussions today, including how to use any period of pause to maximize the flow of humanitarian assistance, how to connect a pause to the release of hostages, how to ensure that Hamas doesn’t use these pauses or arrangements to its own advantage,” Blinken said.
A humanitarian pause is different from a ceasefire. While a ceasefire would bring an end to fighting, the pause proposed by the White House would only halt fighting in select areas of Gaza for a few hours at a time. Still, Netanyahu rejected the proposal. “Israel refuses a temporary ceasefire that does not include the return of our hostages,” he said.
On Thursday, White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said the Biden administration remains firmly against a ceasefire. “We believe that a general ceasefire would benefit Hamas in providing them breathing space and time to continue to plot and execute attacks,” he stated.
Blinken suggests a pausing in fighting is a slight shift in White House policy. After the Hamas attack, Biden offered his full-throated support for Israel. “We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack,” Biden said at the time, adding that “if the United States experienced what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive and overwhelming.”
However, Israeli military operations in Gaza have killed thousands of civilians and created a humanitarian catastrophe. The death toll in Gaza has crossed 9,000, including nearly 4,000 children. Israeli strikes have targeted communication centers, ambulances, densely populated refugee camps, and bakeries distributing humanitarian aid. Nearly 25 percent of all buildings in northern Gaza have received some damage from the Israeli bombing campaign.
A senior US official told NBC News this has caused the White House to want to hedge its support for Tel Aviv. “If this really goes bad, we want to be able to point to our past statements,” they said.
The change in rhetoric does not appear to reflect a genuine shift in policy. Speaking at a press conference during his trip to Israel, Blinked said, “We stand strongly with and behind Israel in its right and obligation to defend itself, defend its people and take the steps necessary to try to ensure that this never happens again.” He added, “Nothing, nothing has changed.”
If Washington sought to exert pressure on Israel, it could curtail the billions in military assistance it provides to Tel Aviv. Israel receives $3.8 billion in security assistance annually. Additionally, The White House has proposed a $14 billion aid package for Tel Aviv in response to the Hamas attack. On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris said, “We are not going to create any conditions on the support that we are giving Israel to defend itself.”

And one wonders why Bibi said no.
Looks like Harris has lived up to the same low standards as the rest of this obnoxious gang.
Who in their right mind would have expected anything less?
Because this is a US war.
After losing another proxy war in Ukraine, the Indispensible Nation is ready to cause even more carnage in the Middle East.
As expected, the Gaza war is intruding our presidential election and it is not good for Biden to look impotent vs. Netanyahu.
Even without Nets, Joe looks impotent.
I am angry enough to use foul language, I apologize. Netanyahu f**** Joe Biden and the nation real good.
Ahem, Blinky, Nets is not listening to you. You see, as you may already know, Nets wants to move or exterminate all Palestinians. All Palestinians. Save your breath, lad.
Ditto for Blinky.
Blinken is all in.
Israel Rejects US-Proposed Temporary Halt to Fighting
A strong President would withhold the $ Billions in aid if US suggested actions were ignored.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, if that strong president really wanted to restrain Israel’s outrageous slaughter.
Looks like disfunction in the Congress will have that result. But surely Israel has more than enough gear with which to defend itself already in warehouses. What are we talking about 2000 lightly armed fighters? If they can’ t handle this with what they have on hand after decades of US support somebody needs to go to jail.
Hamas strength is estimated at 40,000 men.Well trained and dedicated. Often excited by drugs.Urban warfare is a mess,and the northern border is a festering abcess. Behind them stands the Iranian hordes.
And in front of them the military power of two armed to the teeth with Nukes and mighty armies.
and no one is going to nuke Gaza-Asymetric warfare.
One Israeli minister suggested nukes as an option just yesterday, they’ve been suspended for now. It’s the 1st time any restraint has been mentioned by the zionist, it’s good to see they have some limits, lol. No nukes, yet, but the full genocide is still going as planned, for the facist psychopaths.
Like 600 miles behind them?
Why would they need drugs? Life experience is the spine of their dedication, the IDF kids need drugs more than Hamas freedom fighters, they are fighting for the right to live in dignity and decency and a future for their children, what do the IDF kids fight for?
Hamas has sacrificed the lives of the children of Gaza-their lot is and will be much much worse. Hamas leaders send their men out to kill without any means of return-human sacrifes. Syria is the worlds largest producer of Captagon-check it out.
Through the years, Israel has killed quite a few Palestinians kids. Seventy-five years. The last 16 Gaza being a concentration camp.
Speaking of the excitement of drugs, what do you use? Your heightened state of constant nonsense can only come from being in a drug state. Wow. Just wow.
And why is the “northern border a festering mess”? Maybe because Israel aggressively invaded and annexed land that doesn’t belong to it (the Golan in Syria, and Shebaa Farms in Lebanon); meddled in the Lebanese Civil War by arming and supporting Maronite militias that slaughtered palestinian refugees, occupied and bombed large sections of Lebanon for years, continues to bomb Syria whenever they feel like it, supported Nusra Front jihadists in the Syria Civil War, murdered Iranian scientists, and has been an overall bad actor?
Just guessing.
What expertise do you have in regards to Shebaa farms? As far as Iranian scientists-work for the devil,and you will be rewarded.
I know it was annexed by Israel and the inhabitants of it, and the Golan, were expelled (or, “fled to escape the violence”, if you prefer), in 1967 (a war STARTED by Israel) and not allowed to return. I know Shebaa was claimed by Lebanon but occupied by Syria before it was taken by Israel, and Lebanon wants it back. And Israel refuses; hence the problem.
And your characterization of “Iranians” as “the devil” is childish and sick; your hatred, and that of those like you, is as bad as that displayed by HAMAS.
I have more then a few ideas on that matter.
A strong president with a brain would not be complicit in war crimes for the whole world to see, Netanyahu is in charge, not demented old Joe, feeble Joe is kissing BIBI’s a**.
AIPAC has nearly all of congress and the current administration scared sh*tless. F*cking ridiculous.
“A strong President”
Biden is certainly Not one of them…! A Strong President will come after the empire becomes just a common country…!
And to that end – I’ve heard the stress of being President adds 20 years to your age, but, how many times had Biden been President to look so ancient ???
With his dementia getting worse, the mummy in the White House doesn’t have a clue about running a country, decisions are being made by his handlers.
Sort of like Nancy Reagan using a horoscope for decisions.
The mummy in the WH, that hits the nail on the head. Botox covers it up a little.
His and Netanyahu’s criminal record would justify an arrest warrant from the ICC as well as the Zionist and neocon scum bags, the whole baggage.
The USA has a minimum age qualification for Presidential candidates; surprising there isn’t a maximum age.
That said – anyone know if the VP or House Speaker (or others in line) have to be 35+ ?
According to the 12th Amendment, “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
All the Constitution says about the Speaker is that the houses of Congress choose their own officers. Some people interpret that to mean that one doesn’t even have to be a member of Congress (minimum age 25 for US House) to be Speaker.
Huh – interesting !
In the words of CSNY its a long time coming.
So true. But I’m having a hard time trying to remember one who would have.
Jimmy Carter
Or he could land troops as a gesture of peace keeping where they are needed instead of where they are not.
“America’s top diplomat”
LOL. If this is the top of the US diplomatic heap, we’ve gone subterranean.
Look at the likely presidential candidates, Trump or Biden?
What a choice.
Trump wanted to end the Syria conflict by negotiations with Putin.
Madam we the law abiding citizens are in deep shit and I can’t see any relief or progress in sight.
Yeah we get the choice of those two prats when how many people actually went through the process of regestering to run for office in this country? This is not democracy, Its controlled illusion. I want every elegible person who signed up in this country on the ballot.
There shouldn’t be any such thing as “on the ballot” — nor was there for the first hundred years or so of the US. Until the 1890s, you wrote your ballot personally, or orally dictated it to an election official to write down for you if you couldn’t write, or just cast a ballot printed by your political party or other civic organization of choice.
But then states started adopting the “Australian ballot,” a ballot pre-printed by the government. And once they did that, those state governments got to decide whose name could be on it. And the two “major parties” have been colluding ever since to make it as difficult as possible for anyone but a Republican or Democrat to be listed.
“America’s top diplomat”
LOL. If this is the top of the US diplomatic heap, we’ve gone subterranean.
Of course the slaughter can’t be paused. It’s self-defense slaughter, by The World’s Most Moral Army™.
Every pilot and crew member is a war criminal, executing illegal orders is a war crime by Nurnberg tribunal standards.
The autocratic war criminal in the WH has made it clear, everything Netanyahu does is OK with him and the American people, and they will even foot the bills so the Zionist billionaires can keep their money because he says so, he is the boss.
Biden, what a spineless little worm the criminal bstrd really is, no offense to real little worms
Who are these “Zionist Billionaires? Name them. Do you know how the theocrats on Iran are amassing wealth.Their kids ride around in fancy automobiles while Iranians starve.
Name them.
why don’t you? I don’t take orders from you.
Because I didn’t demand that someone else name the Zionist billionaires. And that wasn’t the first time you said Iranian theocrat’s kids riding around in fancy cars. You talk a lot of shit without backing any of it up.
Tequila Prime does that a LOT. Still trying to get him to support his assertions. Tho my IRL first name IS that of the Patron Saint of Lost Causes…
It was told to me by a Bahai woman,who’s family members have been disappeared.The Theocrats have become quite wealthy.
Wow, now how on earth could I disagree that iron clad proof? By the way, that be sarcasm.
Short List:
Ackerman
Wexler
Rothschild
Haim Saban
People jus’ mad at Haim Saban ’cause they ’90s kids & just figured out now that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers suuuucked.
There, I said it.
LOL!
The pity is that the odds are that both guilty parties the US and Israel will get away literally with murder and Genocide.
In a contest between the US and Israel in the matter of morality and murder it is a tie
Of course the slaughter can’t be paused. It’s self-defense slaughter, by The World’s Most Moral Army™.
A temporary halt on genocide, is he mental? Is he really proposing to provide food and water and then get back to killing them all?
Yes, he absolutely is proposing exactly that.
Caitlin Johnstone’s latest:
It is Nazism. One can stop it only by destroying it.
On one hand, Zionist Nazism ideologically is much stronger than German Nazism because it is supported not only by US oligarchy but also by the fake “traditional history” which at the moment is dominating in the whole world.
On the other hand, it is a regional Nazism, similar rather to Ukrainian Nazism than to German one which had much greater territorial ambitions.
Maybe the worst and the most dangerous thing is that US leadership is sharing Nazi values.
Thank you very much. Hope it’s Ok, but I just posted this on Political Wire, among a group of commentators who are pro-Joe to the nauseating extent that he can do absolutely nothing unethical or immoral – even killing innocents – as long as it takes – of course..
“We will resume the killing after this short commercial break.”.
When a massive massacre of children happens, for the majority of ordinary people in The West (not only for the elites), the first question is: to what race those children belong. If they belong to a “wrong race”, it is okay for them. That’s how deep the racism is sitting in the western mentality.
You clearly have no earthly idea what motivates “ordinary people in the West.” If there’s any factor that blunts the effect of atrocities against children for them, it’s nationality, not race.
Explain your “earthly ideas” to the mobs who are rioting under the slogan Black Lives Matter. They are citizens of US, not citizens of Somali about whom even decent people in The West don’t care, leave alone politicians.
Thomas, do you think it is a coincidence that the nations whose victims draw the attention of the MSM and evoke sympathy and aid from Western countries are primarily Caucasian? Why is so little attention paid by the West to child victims of war, disease, starvation and ethnic cleansing in Africa, Haiti, South Asia and Yemen?
Black Lives matter!
No, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you made up something to believe because it’s what you want to believe.
Race is a sociological construct, not a scientific fact. Ask any bigot if Arabs or Aryans from India are white.
I would say that in general, Palestinians ARE “white”.
Arabs and Berbers (indigenous North African people), along with Persians, Armenians, Turks, Georgians, Kurds, etc have traditionally been considered part of the “caucasian peoples”; they certainly were classified that way on US census forms until about 20 years ago.
CORRECTION: JUST WENT to the US Census webpage, and here’s the definition of “white”:
White – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Now, I guess, the “wokeists” want to declare them “brown”, a term that means nothing at all except allows for more claims of “racism”.
But to your original point; Western Countries “don’t care about palestinians” NOT because of their race (which is essentially the same ethnic makeup as the non-european jews in Israel) but because they are muslim (bad! 9/11!) and because of Holocaust Guilt (“Hitler killed jews and we didn’t stop him! we owe them!)
German Nazis have a different definition. French also don’t consider Arabs or Slavs as people who belong to their race. Even Ukrainian Nazis are brainwashed to the idea that they and Russians are different races. Did you ever heard about Aryan race? The idea about Aryan race was conceived many years before Hitler. By the way, in 19th century, when that idea was popular, Arabs were not included in Aryan race.
Apparently senility is transmissible. Who would have thought….
That is about what I would expect from sleepy Joe,stupidity.
They need to get the killing done before news gets out, and the lust for revenge wanes.
In every Arab-Israeli conflict, as soon as Israelis start to win,the UN or USSR put their two cents in.
Does this mean we get a refund?…………………………………………………..

So would I.That does not mean we have to support millions of invaders pouring across our border, and complaining that the foods served them for free are “an insult”.
Are you talking about the terror Latinos are fleeing because of the revolutions we thwarted or the people slaughtered by the people we trained as the CIA overturned elected governments all over South and Central America?
The terror and Starvation brought on them by Judaophobic commie rulers who sabotaged their economy.
As an Occupier, Israel Does Not have rights to defend itsef…!
“Israel Doss Not have rights to defend itself” and from Israel’s point of view. Israel does not need permission to defend itself.
Yeah, they just need billions of US tax dollars sent to them by the treasonous c**ks in Washington
There is no defense for genocide. None for the mass slaughter of children.
And no defense for the apologists and enablers of the slaughter. That means you.
“enablers of the slaughter”. That was Hamas when (1) they attacked on Oct 7 and (2) they build their defense system under civilians.
You still need cold hearted bastards that know that and could care less about killing women and children in grotesquely large numbers.
That is what happens in war, if he was still alive ask Paul W. Tibbets.
I get it. Knowingly and willingly killing civilians is war when the IDF does it but an act of terror when Hamas does it. Even when the Hamas killing of civilians pales in comparison to the IDF killing of civilians.
Just so you don’t imagine that your attempt at deflection is working, and to make sure there’s no misunderstanding: I’m accusing you of complicity in genocide.
There is no genocide. Thus no complicity. There is target attacks on Hamas fighters who have chosen to embed themselves with the civilian population. The results are civilians causalities and destruction of properties. No Oct 7 attacks and none of this happens.
Now Hamas knew there would be massive causalities of civilians with the IDF counter attack. Hamas was willing to trade 1000s of Palestinians lives to gain worldwide sympathy for their cause and to wreck the Saudi Arabian / Israel peace deal.
So you understand, that I am accusing you of wanting and even enjoying the dead of Palestinians just to make Israel look bad.
Palestinians are the OPPRESSED AND HAMAS freedom fighters are the LEGAL DEFENDERS OF THEIR PARENTS, SIBLINGS AND THEIR own CHILDREN.
The ISRAELI ZIONISTS are WAR-CRIMINALS, they have become the Nazis and the Palestinians have become their Jews.
The Zionists are the criminals and the Palestinians are the victims. Anti-Semitism is rising because of that fact. Don’t ask why do they hate us, this is your answer, the Zionists and neocons are the war criminals, the bad people.
Thank you. I could not have said it better in any of my comments in response to your intelligence and humanity.
“HAMAS freedom fighters ” Good freedom fighters don’t sacrifice 1000s of the people lives they are suppose to protect by using them as human shields.
You make no sense at all.
Hamas is legal resistance, the Zionist Irgun was not.
The IDF is an army of terrorists in uniform, they are war criminals, they are waging war against unarmed civilians, women and children included.
Hamas attacked active duty and discharged soldiers in the theater, many were armed and many were killed in crossfire. That explains the lack of investigation, the number killed is questionable too.
Nonsense.
Since when is raping women and then hauling them off for more,”legal”? Since when is tying people together and burning them alive “legal”?
You keep adding to the atrocities. Hamas beheaded babies. Hamas burned babies. Hamas put babies in ovens. Hamas shot babies point blank. Christ, it would seem all 1400 were babies. And Hamas raped every woman they came in contact with. That makes Israel’s atrocity of collective punishment acceptable to you. Those 4,000 or so children that have died thus far were just lucky enough to be killed by being blown to bits or died a slow miserable death under rubble. Never mind those that will starve to death or die because Hospitals can’t treat them since they have nothing to treat them with.
You are wasting your time trying to input genuine information that will go in one ear and out the other without stopping at the brain. I know better but sometimes I have to respond to insanity and ignorance. There is no level of gray in his thoughts.
I’m getting a little sick and tired of hearing the “1400” number, all lumped together as if they were all innocent civilians. Israel, with its lackies in the US media, is doing this deliberately; when in fact many HUNDREDS, possibly the majority, of the dead were IDF soldiers, Israeli police and “self defense militia”, complicit in the enforced captivity of the Gaza strip. Legitimate targets, period, armed and capable of fighting back.
In fact, I would submit that HAMAS has a higher proportion of Israeli fighters-to-civilians in their casualty list than the IDF has in their attacks on Gaza.
I would like to have these numbers clarified; but of course Israel will never do so, and our corrupt politicians and media shills won’t push the question.
Even regarding the civilians killed; how many were outright killed by HAMAS (an atrocity and crime), and how many died in firefights as a result of IDF intervention (“collateral damage”)?
One interview, with a rescued Israelli hostage that was quickly suppressed, suggests that number was quite high – in her words, “8 HAMAS” and “20 Hostages” were approached by the IDF, who opened fire on everyone, killing all 8 HAMAS and 18 of the 20 hostages. Obviously, those “18” are part of the “1400 murdered” number quoted. But “murdered” by who, exactly?
A one time occurrence, or did this happen frequently? I’d like to know, but Israel won’t tell.
Until they do, my sympathy is muted and skeptical.
I think someone raped your mind as a youth and you never got it back.
Maybe you have some credible evidence, all you do is serving Israeli Hasbara.
There used to be the lies about WMDs in Iraq, the German soldiers in the first WW were eating Belgian children, the incubator babies and the captivated where and when unknown babies, you believe it because you WANT to BELIEVE IT, yet what you see with your very own eyes you refuse to believe if it does not fit the government’s narrative which is also your narrative.
Finally, you are unable to make your point in a coherent manner.
Just slander allegations are not rational and coherent facts.
By international law every pilot who follows illegal orders, bombing unarmed civilians is a WAR-CRIMINAL based on the Nurnberg tribunal, genocide is a war crime, why can’t you get that?
Both nations, USA and ISRAEL are collectively guilty of the genocide of the PALESTINIANS.
“By international law every pilot who follows illegal orders, bombing unarmed civilians is a WAR-CRIMINAL” So the entire USA Army were war criminals for bombing Germany and Japan in WW2. Since Russia and Britain also bomb cities are they also war criminals?
Was Doolittle a criminal for bombing Tokyo on April 18, 1942? Some of his bombs hit a high school.
I am not aware that the Americans ever had to face trials for war-crimes, that does not prove they never committed war-crimes. Law and justice are two different sets of boots.
Was Doolittle a criminal for bombing Tokyo and in the process killing some high school students?
“And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens,, defend itself, and respond to this attack,” Biden said at the time
Yes, Joe. And a rapist has the same right to “defend himself” when his victim fights back.
Only,it is Hamas doing the rapes.
False War propaganda.
You lie.
Really, where and when did that happen, any detailed evidence?
It is your job to back up your story, we don’t have to prove anything, you made it up, prove it.
Should that apply to the U.S. in Syria and other places as well?
Yes, everywhere US has occupied illegally without being invited…!
Sounds like some of the places Tim Burns mentioned were a place of exspansion.
Damn right.The only place that needs defending is our country from ocean to ocean and from Canada to Mexico.
How about Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa. Guam. Northern Mariana Islands. Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Island? All are outside of your “ocean to ocean and from Canada to Mexico” boundaries.
“During a trip to Israel, America’s top diplomat pushed Tel Aviv to agree to limited ‘humanitarian pauses’ to allow aid into Gaza.”

“We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack,” Biden said at the time, adding that “if the United States experienced what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive and overwhelming.”
For some reason NATO’s encirclement of Russia comes to mind.
“encirclement”? Nope. Of seven longest Russian borders only one country is a NATO country and that is Finland which joined after Russia attacked Ukraine. Now one could say a NATO western wall, but encirclement no,
Ok, I take back encirclement and I’ll go with encroachment. Now, tell me how Uncle Sam would have reacted if the Warsaw Pact had encroached US borders in the same way NATO encroached Russia’s borders.
For ‘encirclement’ I think you were thinking of US policy towards CHINA.
Blocked for stupidity
You are wrong the 3 Baltic states are NATO members and do have joined borders with Russia.
Not wrong. Reread my post, I said top 7 longest Russia borders. The 3 Baltic states are not in the seven longest Russian borders list.
OK maybe no “encirclement” of Russia, but uncle sam does indeed have at least 750 military bases all around the world and at least some of them have their state-of-the-art missiles aimed directly at Russia.

let’s not pretend that our guys are the good guys and everybody else’s guys are the bad guys.
25th
Hamas took prisoners as a response to the 5000 prisoners that Israel has captive, not charged and in indefinite captivity. Remind me again who are the terrorists?
Arrest all western leaders and hold them to account for their many many crimes against humanity. Hold them to account for their warmongering, mass murder, abuse of power and corruption. And i mean every single one of them.
NATO and the West are white, extremely racist, brutal mass murderers who must be held to account. The world will not survive them much longer.
Good ideas but you are living in a fantasy world if you think that anything will happen to these greedy,corrupt Imperialistic mother fuckers.
Meanwhile,most Israelis are dark skinned and some are black. Asian Chinese have destroyed Tibetan Asians, and now want to conquer Taiwanese Asians.
Racist nonsense.
Biden is supporting war crimes.
He needs to be removed from office.
The office needs to be relocated.
To Kiev, or perhaps Bakmut – by parachute.
Avdiivka.
Forget the parachute, then 😉
I don’t see that happening. There are no good canidates that can get nominated by the corrupt forces in power.
The corrupt forces will find their man, the voters will have nothing to say regardless of party.
The US and its ruling class of greed and murder has a very good chance of having their Imperialistic heads handed tom them by the combined forces of China,Iran and assorted nations of Islam who are tired of Israels racism and murder. The worm is turning I hope.
I hope they will be held accountable by a war tribunal for war crimes. Hope is eternal.
Admiral Thomas Moore Chief of Naval Operation from 1967-1970: “I’ve never seen a President – I don’t care who he is – stand up to them. It just boggles your mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn’t writing anything down. If the American people undertstood what a grip those people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens don’t have any idea what goes on. (They Dare to Speak Out, ex-Senator Paul Findley, Lawrence Hill Books, P-161)
It’s been really screwed up for a very long time, hasn’t it?
Note: The guy you’re talking about was Thomas Moorer. There’s an Admiral Thomas Moore who came along a bit later.
That seems backwards (I’m sure you’re correct; it just feels backwards). It should go ‘Moore’, ‘Moorer’, then ‘Moorest’.
😎
read: They Dare tpo Speak Out, by Paul Findley, page 161.
Not the evangelical Christians they wouldn’t. In the 2020 election they made up 28% of overall electorate. That’s a pretty nice sided grip 🙂
The Israelis are wealthy but they ask for money while we have millions who are food challenged and can’t pay their medical bills. The American working people are their suckers, Biden and company have filled their pockets and bank accounts a long time ago. We are the suckers of our criminal elected officials with very few exceptions.
They are parasites devouring the host. And once devoured they will move on to the next host.
What is missing in just about every article concerning the crisis in Gaza is mention of the 5,192 hostages in Israeli jails. Detainees sitting there most without charges, some are children.
REFUND,REFUND, REFUND……………………………………………………
Crack open your cookie jar and give your money to the victims of Hamas and the Gaza war.
The U.S. administration has started a campaign to concede its defeat in Ukraine. The United States of Atrocities is going to blame its Ukrainian proxy forces for the results of its massive blunder (polite word for attempted ethnic cleansing and genocide).
The campaign seeks to include outlines of what Ukraine might need to give up to reach a deal. Ukraine is running out of manpower and has limited recruits available. Credible estimates indicate 500,000 dead and nearly 1,000,000 injured.
The United States of Atrocities has found that their aim at the start of the war – to weaken Russia – has led to the opposite.
The US has done a stupid thing. They have brought the Russians,Chinese and the rest of the third world and BRICS together.The economic pain and destruction the American empire is closer then ever and they only have themselves to thank.
“During a trip to Israel, America’s top diplomat pushed Tel Aviv to agree to limited “humanitarian pauses” to allow aid into Gaza and facilitate negotiations for Hamas to release prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said there would not be a temporary pause in the fighting.”
If this is fact and Netanyahu refused Blinken’s pleas, then Secretary Blinken should advise Biden to remove the two US Navy CBGs (carrier battle groups) from the region.
Afghanistan and Ukraine have been disasters for Biden. Having another one would enhance the routine. In simple terms, why go there? Let Netanyahu destroy himself and Israel.
Those two carrier groups are not there to support Israel against Hamas. Israel does not need our HELP against the Palestinians. Their purpose is to lead the attack against IRAN one of the evil empires {sic}
Blinken humiliated himself on the international stage, begging and pleading Netanyahu to show some decency, and was basically treated like a little yappie dog, smacked with a rolled up newspaper and sent outside.
If Israel continues to bomb, endangering the lives of hundreds of US citizens and their families in Gaza, without allowing for their safe evacuation (and spare me the “Rafah” nonsense; ISRAEL controls the northern gates and can evacuate through there; this isn’t EGYPT’s problem) then all US aid should cease. PERIOD.
Many US citizens support the palestinian’s plight; that doesn’t make them any less worthy of US protection than those who are pro zionist.
Once ALL US citizens are out, HAMAS and the IDF can do whatever they like to each other, and good hunting to them both.
Bernie Sanders is on right now and he is nailing the entire situation: cleanly, clearly and decisively. Right on!
“Hey Hey Ho Ho “Genocide Joe” has got to go”.
“Biden, Biden, you can’t hide! We charge you with gen o cide!”.
Israel’s far-right Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on November 5 that one of Israel’s options against the Hamas Movement was to drop a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip.
History will not treat the “United States of Atrocities” well. “Genocide Joe” will forever be known as a mass murderer, an absolute stain on humanity.
But you know “Freedom and Democracy” what a joke you have all become. Freedom and Democracy bombs come in all sizes apparently.
Doom, the world is a much better place, with you in it…! (Gloom and Doom.)
Vidoes all over the net of Israel security forces beating up Israeli protesters, using extreme violence. Unbelievable what the west has become.
btw Zelenski was treating the ethnic Russians in the Donbass exactly the same way. Ethnic cleansing, genocide and brutal repression.
Thanks for giving us so much great information.
Blinken Tells Abbas He Asked Israel To Use ‘Smaller Bombs’ On Gaza, is he mental? Is he really proposing that mass murderers should murder less people per strike, but the outcome stays the same?
Just how EVIL are these people?
No more MONEY for Israel! Not one more DIME. NOT ONE MORE BLOODY DIME. NO MORE MONEY FOR WAR. ISRAEL WANTS TO START A THIRD WORLD WAR: DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME!!! And on your OWN DIME!
Sorry for any redundancy… It just freaks me out a bit, as I am sure, most of you know.
Most of my responses to you are banned. Antiwar is suppressing comments in support of war and genocide. Antiwar is doing everything they can to ensure the genocide occurs. This is Evil.
Not very good at math, are you? You’ve had nine comments published on this post alone, and a grand total of three comments banned in the last week on all posts combined.
