Netanyahu spurns Biden plea to call off Rafah assault
[GEO.TV] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spurned a plea from Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
to call off a planned ground assault of Rafah, the last refuge in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
for more than a million displaced people, where Israel believes Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
fighters are holed up.

Netanyahu told politicians on Tuesday he had made it "supremely clear" to the U.S. president "that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah, and there's no way to do that except by going in on the ground".

The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Washington believed a ground assault on Rafah would be a "mistake" and that Israel could achieve its military aims by other means.

Washington has launched a new diplomatic push for a ceasefire in the nearly six-month-old war to free hostages and bring in food aid to stave off famine.

#2 See General Sherman's letter to the Mayor of Atlanta. Still the best statement on the topic after all these years.

#3 Mike Johnson’s office to Post: Joint session of Congress with Netanyahu 'under consideration'

I guess that's what WH calls "Israeli interference in USA politics".

#4 Well, the regime puts lots of effort into suppressing points of view it doesn't agree with.

But sometimes the First Amendment "hamstrings" gummint efforts...
