Spineless Anti-Israel America

I had to turn the TV news off this morning to avoid hearing the latest insufferable anti-Israel pronouncements by Antony Blinken, who is desperate for a ceasefire before the election.

Why does the U.S. continue to insist on ceasefires that don't work with murderers like Hamas and Hezbollah? Why does the U.S. always lecture Israel and act like they know better than Israel does?

Israel is fighting for her survival. Israel needs true allies, not backstabbers and betrayers.

Can you just imagine what the first anniversary of the October 7 pogrom will be like in Israel and across the U.S.? Thanks to the appeasement of the United States, that's going to be another traumatic day for all Jews.

This is from the BBC:

US criticises Israeli PM's 'maximalist' ceasefire stance

"A senior US administration official has pushed back at reported comments by Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing the Israeli prime minister of making “maximalist statements” that are “not constructive to getting a ceasefire deal across the finish line”.

"It comes in the midst of an intense round of regional diplomacy by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as Washington tries to drive forward progress on a ceasefire and hostage release deal.

"On Monday, Mr Blinken had talks lasting three hours with the Israeli leader in Jerusalem.

"He later said Mr Netanyahu had accepted Washington’s so-called “bridging proposal” aimed at trying to solve sticking points and bring Israel and Hamas closer to a deal.

"According to an Israeli media report, Mr Netanyahu later told a meeting of hostage families that he "convinced" Mr Blinken that the deal must see Israeli troops remaining in areas of Gaza he described as “strategic military and political assets”, including along the southern border with Egypt.

"The reported comments appear to have irritated the US administration.

"We saw the prime minister's comments, specifically on some of these items," said the senior official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"We’re certainly not going to negotiate in public but what I can say is that the only thing Secretary Blinken and the United States are convinced of is the need for getting a ceasefire proposal across the finish line."

"We fully expect that… if Hamas were also to also accept this bridging proposal, discussions will continue on some of the more technical... details.

“I would also just add that maximalist statements like this are not constructive to getting a ceasefire deal across the finish line and they certainly risk the ability of implementing level, working level and technical talks to be able to move forward when both parties agree to a bridging proposal.”

"The senior official’s remarks followed Tuesday’s round of talks between Mr Blinken and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the coastal city of El-Alamein.

"Egyptian officials are said to be strongly opposed to the idea of Israeli troops remaining along Egypt's border in Gaza."
