  1. Ask him, he said its non-partisian. The message being its a horrible mistake "Within 2 hours of the president’s announcement last night, #Hamas said they were withdrawing from negotiations on hostages & on a ceasefire. What Biden has done is handed a great victory to Hamas. This was a horrible mistake."
  2. Apparently as you miss out the whole reason why this is happening
  3. You forgot the first bit. Hamas waged war on Israel first by a massive terrorist attack with thousands of rockets and terrorists and to this day is still holding hostages.
  4. If that's a fact, can you provide a link to this claim?
  5. Its not just Trump and republicans fuming at this: Republicans -- and even some Democrats -- are now pouncing on Biden's new warning to Israel that the U.S. will withhold weapons House Speaker Mike Johnson, angry that top Republicans weren't informed beforehand, slammed Biden's decision as a "senior moment."
  6. B.S. Mad ramblings. This war started Oct 7th no matter how much you want to change history.
  7. The Hamas ideology would prefer all Jews wiped off the face of the earth. We all know it they had their way they would repeat the event again and again
  8. "Within 2 hours of the president’s announcement last night, #Hamas said they were withdrawing from negotiations on hostages & on a ceasefire. What Biden has done is handed a great victory to Hamas. This was a horrible mistake." Risch: Biden’s Decision to Hold Aid to Israel a “Horrible Mistake” WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today spoke at a Senate Republican press conference condemning the Biden Administration’s blocking of arms sales for Israel. “The non-partisan weapons sales process has kept domestic political squabbles out of this for a long time. It’s been in place for about half a century, and it has worked really well. The administration has stepped outside those boundaries now without any notifications to us. “We have a situation here where Congress passed funding, the administration allowed these weapons sales, myself and the other three members of Congress who closely look at these sales – and take that obligation seriously – also signed off on it, and now in the heat of battle, this administration is saying ‘we’re gonna pull this back.’ This is unprecedented. It’s going to be watched by our enemies. It’s going to be watched by our allies. And it is not helpful to the national security of the United States. https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/release/risch-bidens-decision-to-hold-aid-to-israel-a-horrible-mistake
  9. IDF: We’ve enough munitions for Rafah; PM: ‘We’ll fight with our fingernails’ if needed “The IDF has armaments for the missions it is planning, including missions in Rafah. We have what we need,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said, responding to a question at a press conference. While some commentators have agreed the military likely has munitions needed for a Rafah offensive, it may be hard-pressed to face Hezbollah if the conflict in the north develops into all-out war and Washington continues to withhold munitions. https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-says-its-has-enough-munitions-for-rafah-netanyahu-if-we-must-well-stand-alone/
  10. Everybody leaves talks, any optimism of a deal vanished. CIA director, Israel and Hamas leave Egypt talks with no deal reached Both the Israeli and the Hamas delegations as well as CIA director Bill Burns left Cairo on Thursday with no deal reached on a cease-fire or hostage release, hours after US President Joe Biden threatened to stop weapons shipments to Israel if it invades Rafah. Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, confirmed in a post on Telegram that the delegation has left the Egyptian capital and is on its way to Qatar, where the group's political wing is based. Separately, Burns, who has been in the region since Saturday, also left Cairo on Thursday morning and is on his way back to the United States. The Israeli delegation departed later on Thursday, with sources telling Israel's Kan public broadcaster that "irreconcilable gaps" have emerged between the parties during the talks. The Israeli cabinet is scheduled to meet Thursday night. https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2024/05/cia-director-israel-and-hamas-leave-egypt-talks-no-deal-reached
  11. Nothing evasive here, more than happy to point out the veil slip The subject matter has been discussed numerous times, always brought up by apologists again and again despite it being in so many previous topics with the facts and not taken out of context. Your comment on it will also now never go away.

  13. Latest Updates from ISW NEW w/ @criticalthreats: Hamas’ leaders have very likely calculated that Hamas will survive a Rafah operation and that Hamas should therefore pursue its maximalist ceasefire demands without major concessions. 🧵 2/ The IDF's drawdown in the Gaza Strip after December 2023 appears to have indicated to Hamas that the group was winning by forcing the IDF from the Gaza Strip. 3/ Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar indicated as early as February 2024 that he did not fear a Rafah operation. 4/ Hamas introduced a ceasefire counterproposal on May 6 with two key changes that Israel had not accepted. The Hamas-proposed ceasefire includes two key stipulations that would satisfy Hamas’ maximalist demands: an end to the Israeli “blockade” and a permanent end to the war. 5/ The United States said that Hamas did not agree to a ceasefire deal. The United States clarified that Hamas offered "amendments [or a] counterproposal." https://state.gov/?post_type=state_briefing&%3Bp=92333 6/ The additional demands that Hamas introduced in the May 6 ceasefire counterproposal secure both Hamas’ survival and its ability to reconstitute by limiting Israel’s ability to disrupt supplies bound for Hamas.

  14. “At a time when Israel continues to negotiate in good faith to secure the release of hostages, including American citizens, the administration’s shortsighted, strategic error calls into question its ‘unshakeable commitment’ as an ally,” McCaul and Rogers wrote. House GOP chairs lash out at Biden over pause in Israeli arms shipment But Republicans and critics of the administration’s move to hold arms transfers throws into question U.S. solidarity with Israel amid intense negotiations to reach a cease-fire deal that would secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas since they were kidnapped in its Oct. 7 terrorist attack. “We are appalled that the administration paused crucial arms shipments to Israel,” the Republican House chairs wrote. “The administration must allow these arms shipments to move forward to uphold the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security and ensure that Israel can defend itself and defeat Hamas.” https://thehill.com/policy/international/4651830-house-gop-chairs-lash-out-biden-pause-israeli-arms-shipment/
  15. Meanwhile US hostages linger in the tunnels of Rafah. Pro-Israel Democrats slam Biden’s threat to stop arms transfers if Israel enters Rafah Prominent pro-Israel Democrats criticize US President Joe Biden for threatening to halt the transfer of offensive weaponry to Israel if the IDF carries out an offensive in Rafah. “Hard disagree and deeply disappointing,” says US Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Representative Ritchie Torres of New York told Axios he suspects Biden is “pandering to the far left.” “It looks like election year politics was driving it. That’s my impression,” he adds. “I’d like the president to do right by Israel and recognize that the far left is not representative of the rest of the country.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/pro-israel-democrats-slam-bidens-threat-to-stop-arms-transfers-if-israel-invades-rafah/
