Of course we are. Just because we currentlly have an incoherent POTUS doesn't mean we don't stand with Israel as a nation. Detroit Tlaib supporters and a handful of elitist college students don't represent the typical American.

We will continue to be allies as long as Biden can find a way to satisfy the Hamas supporters in Michigan...otherwise......Who TF is Israel?....funny that WAPO has several sources and the the NYT is clueless..as usual...commies can't comment!!

In Blinken's mind, are American Hostages held by Hamas worthy of rescue? I do believe that five Americans are still held in the terrorist tunnels built with US taxpayer dollars, NO?

If there actually were a war* between Hamas and Israel, Biden would be a war criminal. But he's just a criminal.

*"War" is preceded by the "formal act of a state's legitimate government declaring hostile military activity against another." Hamas is not a state. It is a terrorist organization, whose aim is to destroy Israel and murder the Jewish people. For this reason alone, “ceasefire” talk is nonsense. To have a “ceasefire,” there has to be a “war.” It's infuriating to listen to the insufferable US and Western Useful Idiots whine about Israel violating the "rules of war."

If true, another key question is when did the U.S. develop the info? The admin would be accountable for everything that happened after that.

I will happily contribute to the lawsuit on behalf of the families of the American hostages against the US for obstructing their rescue.

I'm skeptical that the US has intelligence that Israel does not. Far more likely is that Biden's clown-crew is exaggerating the value if whatever it thinks it knows. Kinda pathetic when my hoped-for explanation is incompetence.

WaPo cites four sources, but the story did not make The NY Times.

My hypothesis is that the Times realized the sources had to be lying, and so did not report the story. There’s no way the U.S. would withhold information needed to have a chance at rescuing American citizen hostages. I hope.

So is this article trying to state that Palestinian lives don't matter at all. After all, if we live in a society in which we believe all human life matters equally then shouldn't Israeli life be equal to Palestinian life. Maybe the reason the Biden administration is giving information about Hamas to Israel in exchange for Israel not going into Rafah is to prevent excessive Palestinian death and suffering. If Israel were to go into Rafah, many civilians in Gaza would die as a result. Maybe Biden is trying to prevent civilian deaths in Gaza and is just trying to get Israel to attack Hamas without attacking the civilians living in Gaza.

Just another day in this administration. Every single decision appears calculated to undermine our trust and faith in our institutions and our allies trust and faith in our intentions.

A ‘friend”? I can count 3.8 billion reasons for the “friendship”. Plus, all the others billions we’ve shipped there just in the last 6 months. The friendship and devotion is surpassed only by the will to keep and maintain power at all costs.

There is no limit to the carnage and suffering leaders will inflict in order to keep power. I follow this pretty closely, and the hostages are rarely mentioned. Hamas and their “demands” are given equal importance.

The hostages may be third or fourth in importance for the leaders of Israel and the US. First would be political survival, second would be seizing land and clearing out Palestinians, third would be enriching those who profit from war.

There has been little coverage of the fact that if Hamas surrendered, gave back all the hostages and remains, Israel would have little choice but to stop the brutality. If Biden has info to the whereabouts of the Hamas leaders and he is not sharing it, he is prolonging the collective punishment and serving the donors who want to ethniclally cleanse Israel.

They’re okay with losing the hostages. They’re okay with letting Hamas survive, for now.

Endless war keeps the donors happy and keeps the people afraid. I think Hamas cares even less for the Palestinians than Likud party does. Likud junta wants them to leave. Hamas is serving up innocent women, children, elderly to the meat grinder of war.

There are few “good” in this.

October 7th was allowed by Likud in order to grab more land.

This is too much like Chris Cuomo interviewing his brother. Well, that's not to say Nellie is stuffing nursing homes full of Covid patients and Bari is praising her for it, but, yeh you know I mean. There isn't even a pretense of objectivity.

And it is worth pointing out that there are American citizens among the hostages. How much Brittany Griner did we have to endure but hear scant mention of those Americans being held by Hamas. I'd be sharing all Intel with the IDF and also be considering sending in US commandos. As Palmerstone said in the Don Pacifico affair when he deployed naval elements to the Aegean Sea, "Civis Romanus sum."

but what if US citizenship is and was being downgraded to the value of illegal immigrant?

After all what was the value of the American Ambassador in Benghazi or the 13 service members lost at the gates in Afghanistan or the current US funding of the Taliban?

The hypocrisy and betrayal are simply mid-boggling! I have no words! There are no words!

Have faith.

There will be a Black Swan event now that the God of Abraham/Sinai, Yeshua and 1776 has empirically evidenced existence for a cynical world with the Convergence Matrix; A God that will make His presence known in no uncertain terms very soon to protect the two men, Trump and Netanyahu, He has chosen to lead and protect America and Israel unto the end of human history as it is understood and a new beginning with Yeshua as Moshiach in 2026 Jerusalem just 781 days hence as of May 14, 2024.

The Convergence Matrix holds that history should be looked upon as an equation fusing history and wagering Blaise Pascal’s probabilities mathematics with Judaic scripture e.g. the miracle election of Trump in 2016 has only one analog in history; the Battle of Midway that witnessed all the right assets and all the right people in all the right places at exactly the right time for exactly the same reason…to purchase Americans time to rise and defeat fascism.

One can easily calculate the 781 days yields July 4th 2026 which has no meaning without context. July 4th 2026 is exactly 250 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence…and as it concerns Netanyahu exactly 50 years after the miraculous Raid on Entebbe that resulted in just one Israeli loss; Yoni Netanyahu, brother of Bibi. God has always required sacrifice to provide meaning.

Finally, the raid on Entebbe is today’s conflict in microcosm as is the first paragraph of Matrix; Marxist and Islamic terrorists took over 100 Israelis hostage who were freed by the IDF. The first paragraph of the Convergence Matrix identifies Muhammad and Marx/Engels to their birth years with the formative dates in the development of western civilization squeezed in between.

Sound familiar?

Even today on Yom Ha’atzmaut we read in Hallel, Psalm 118 about Israel being surrounded and encompassed by enemies. God himself has promised to protect Israel, therefore I know He will. I also pray daily for Him to protect those two strong men - He will if they are needed.
