Hamas HAS used force and violence to control Gaza in the past….
So Israel’s action’s will ALSO help the remaining Palestinians get out from under Hamas’s control….
(Let’s face it…Hamas IS using hospital’s to hide in….But demolishing hospitals isn’t getting Israel much support and good headlines )
But?
At what cost?
In addition?
You’ll notice that other Middle east countries are NOT opening their borders to accept displaced Palestinians nor are they cutting of relations with Israel, eh?
Nope….
Hamas, Houthi’s and Hezbollah are ALL connected to IRAN and NOBODY wants or trusts them….
So?
Israel operates in a vacuum, with the suffering and hostages working against them…
President Biden has threatened to cut off the supply of some weapons if Israel mounts a major offensive in Rafah. “We haven’t seen that,” a White House spokesman said.
Here’s what we’re covering:
-
Top U.S. officials say the deadly airstrike in Rafah, while tragic, did not cross Biden’s red line.
-
The Israeli military said it was engaging in ‘close-quarters combat.’
-
U.S-built pier for delivering aid to Gaza breaks apart in rough seas.
-
Gazan officials say a strike killed 21 in Al-Mawasi.
-
More Palestinians were leaving Rafah after ‘a bloody and very difficult night.’
-
Three European countries formally recognize Palestinian statehood.
-
Israel had not ordered Palestinians to leave the area it struck on Sunday……
….

There was “no mathematical formula” for assessing the scale of the IDF offensive, he said. “What we’re going to be looking at is whether there is a lot of death and destruction from this operation or if it is more precise and proportional.”
But humanitarian organizations on the ground say the administration is simply refusing to acknowledge what it doesn’t want to see.
As Israeli forces have entered Rafah from the east and moved steadily westward toward the center, the city “is now comprised of three entirely different worlds,” Suze van Meegan, head of operations in Gaza for the Norwegian Refugee Council, said in a statement Thursday. “The east is an archetypal war zone, the middle is a ghost town, and the west is a congested mass of people living in deplorable conditions.”…

Biden’s red line threat brought sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers, primarily Republicans, who charge he is undermining Israel’s struggle against Hamas terrorists responsible for the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war. Inside Israel itself, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and allies in his government have said that those who question Israel’s tactics want Hamas to win. If the United States and others don’t want to help, Netanyahu has said, Israel will go it alone.
But pressure on the administration has also come from the opposite direction, with demonstrations on campuses and in cities across the country, along with charges from Democratic members of Congress and from other countries that Biden is supporting genocide in a conflict that has left, according to local health authorities, more than 35,000 Gazans dead….
