Biden presents new Israel ceasefire plan, calls on Hamas to accept it
2024-06-01
[GEO.TV] US President 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...
on Friday called on Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
to agree to a new offer from Israel on releasing hostages in exchange for a 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...
ceasefire, saying this is the best way to begin winding down the deadly conflict.

"With a ceasefire, that aid could be safely and effectively distributed to all who need it," Biden said.

"As someone who's had a lifelong commitment to Israel, as the only American president who has ever gone to Israel at a time of war, as someone who just sent the US forces to directly defend Israel when it was attacked by Iran, I ask you to take a step back, think what will happen if this moment is lost," he said.

"We can't lose this moment."

#16   Business model of the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) is perpetual conflict, NOT conflict resolution.

Conflict. You keep using that word. Can't we just call it "opportunities"? Perpetual opportunities - doesn't that sound much nicer? And profitable!

#11  Why am I suspicious? Grom because Biden is a liar who wouldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

#9  Ref #7: Former US President Barack Obama responded to US President Joe Biden’s announcement of the proposed hostage release deal on Friday in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, calling the deal a “clear, realistic and just plan.”

He should like it. He and Blinken likely wrote it.

#4  He's obviously a man dedicated to peace. [sarc off]

Notice how the Trump trial has cloaked news involving US forces in Syria, Iraq, Niger, as well as events in Haiti, Iran, the border, the economy, and US hostages in Gaza ?
