#1 Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, repeatedly made clear that the US does not back a ceasefire, but is only sheepishly calling for brief humanitarian 'pauses'.

Would those be Biden's pee breaks?

#2 Gazans are just 'useful idiots' of the Iranian mullahs. The incredibly vicious initial attacks were to make sure Israel had no choice but to do what it is doing. In the process it will divide the West to the point it will not be able to come to the aid of Israel once the pan-Islam assaults begin. And that would mean (I think) the end of Israel - and quite possible the nuclear destruction of much of Iran. Next question is whether Iran itself is the useful idiot of China...

#3 They ignored Trump on Syria and they will just ignore Biden on Gaza. The Obamites run American Policy.

#4 Maybe all these people will feel better if they work for UN and not USA?

#6 ...Y'know, the Very Best People(TM) told me during the Trump Administration that when the staff vehemently disagreed with the President, that meant the President must be wrong and therefore must resign.

Not holding my breath of course, just sayin'.

#7 The news being reported today, is that Israel has agreed to four hour daily pauses in Gaze.

Couldn't help thinking about my Uncles who served in WW2 in Europe and the Pacific, and wondering what they would make of this? Sure they wouldn't be happy with this, and seriously question the people in Washington. If the U.S. and allies did this during that war, it would have lasted a lot longer than it did.

#8 There were very local brief pauses in the European theater to clear the wounded.

#9 Israel has agreed to four hour daily pauses in Gaza.

That would be for Biden's naps.

#11 Hamas is backed by Qatar not Iran. Jesus, people.

It was all fun and games when the deep state defied Trump's leadership. Now they're doing the same thing to Israel's interests and now it's a problem.

#13 Hamas is backed by Qatar not Iran.

Read Rantburg’s archives, dear Vortigern Phert8938. Money from Qatar, from Iran more money, training, weapons, and alliances with other client groups. The other client groups of interest at this particular moment being Hezbollah and the Houthis (Ansarullah) in Yemen.

Jeez, next you’re going to tell us that Shiite Iran would never, ever ally with Al Qaeda.

It doesn’t do to take your lord’s name in vain when you don’t know enough on the subject to challenge your audience. Whether it’s ok when you do is a question better addressed by your mother.
