Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting State Secretary Antony Blinken on Friday that Israel could launch a ground offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city Rafah “alone” without U.S. backing.
Mr. Blinken met with the Israeli leader in Tel Aviv on March 22 and urged Israel not to invade Rafah, saying that such an action “risks wreaking greater havoc.”
“As we’ve said, though, a major military ground operation in Rafah is not the way to do it,” Mr. Blinken said at a press conference in Tel Aviv.

In other words Winkin, Blinkin & Nod can shove it.
Bibi do what you must to keep your people safe, MAGA supports you.

Blinken is destroying the climate flying around the world. Blinken could have delivered his message with a Zoom meeting.

By flying to Israel to deliver his unnecessary message, Blinken hope to give the appearance of doing something and caring for the Palestinians civilians. All he really wants to do is score political points. He us betraying a great ally and looking foolish in the process.

Which is as it should be...Blinken has an over inflated opinion of himself and his 'handlers' if he/they think Bibi should do what they say when he is fighting for the life of his country...our 'elected' officials, and I use the term lightly, have a much overinflated opinion of themselves...stay out of Israels business you azzzes...

Russia has also been pressuring them for an immediate ceasefire, and propping HAMAS back up in a position of power....
Bibi needs to send Putin a text..."Do you understand now? Imagine if your entire country was only the size of Moscow, and the people that just attacked YOUR music concert filled ALL of the surrounding areas for thousands of miles. Israel sends it's prayers to you and your people, please keep in mind that when these awful, hate filled terrorists attack US...the deaths and injured were 100 TIMES worse, and in comparison to our populations sizes it was comparatively 1000's of times worse...the ONLY way to keep them from doing these things is to wipe them out, disarm them completely, and NEVER let them get back up""

Israel is almost universally in support of eliminating Hamas, including Bibi's primary opponent for PM. Says if there were an election, he'd carry out the same policy.

Could it be? Is it at all possible? Could Bibi be even tougher than Tough Tony?
I've always believed that Tough Tony was the baddest man on the planet - - so how could he be humiliated like that? Bibi must be tougher. It's hard to believe - - but maybe he is.

Gotta love Bibi! He should have mentioned to the Asshat Blinken that Israel is only emulating the USA's actions in Dresden or Nagasaki!

Bibi has the heart of David. He is going to go through Hades but I believe he will emerge victorious. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will save Israel, but it will not be without great cost.

With you or in spite of you. That is the only language these despicable vermin understand. The American People are with Israel. Bibi knows and understands this.

Israel is in a most dangerous neighborhood.
They know that weak people don't survive there.
They had hoped that "peaceful co-existence" might be acceptable, but unfortunately they were wrong.
Only an iron fist and the resolve to use it will let them survive among their Arab neighbors,
Biden's half-century run of being wrong on ALL foreign policy matters remains intact.

So we stand by and wait for the NYTimes to make official announcements as to the Five W's and sometimes Y in regards to this attack!

Israel fought off her enemies centuries before the USA was born. Not one American in ten can tell you why that is.

WE must always remember that blinkin/biden doesn't speak for Americans anymore...they are not in charge of our feelings for Israel...WE are with Bibi and his people...and pandering to the Hama supporters in Michigan and Minnesota for votes is so obvious... let's send the Hamas supporters in our house back to Somalia where they came from....

Hey Blinky, since you want to Protect Hamas, how about volunteering to be a BODY SHIELD?

How many times has Bebe told Biden and Blinken to " kiss my A*s*s* before it sinks in. How can anyone in the Jewish Community support this demented White House occupant?
